Thoughtful Moments
Can You Hear Your
Guardian Angel?
“Beside each believer stands an
angel as protector and shepherd leading him to life.” (Catechism of the Catholic Church 336)
Pope Paul II said, “Experience the presence of the
angels next to you and allow yourself to be guided
by them.”

Perpetual Help” will be shown in the Green Room

art, the message and the story of the picture...also first

ather Johnson,
You gave a beautiful
service for Aunt Mary
Vella. For that we thank you very
much. As regards to the funeral
luncheon , everyone outdid
themselves. I personally loved the
meatballs, chicken, fruit and
mashed potatoes, & dessert.
Other churches could take note of
how you did everything. I will
recommend your way forever…..so
tasty, and beautiful on the table.
I loved everything. A special
thank you to all of you!
Mary Micallef
Word of Life
“The virtue of chastity….is not a
“no” to pleasure and to the joy of
life, but a great “yes” to love as a
profound communication
between persons, as love that is
capable of generating life and of
generously welcoming a new life
which is born.”
Pope Benedict XVI, Address to
participants in the Meeting
Promoted by the Pontifical
John Paul II Institute for Studies
on Marriage and Family,
May 13, 2011

Samaritan House
Back-To-School Drive
Last year, the Samaritan House
provided backpacks filled with
school supplies to 374 area

need to be great again this year and
are preparing for about 375
backpacks for area children grades
preschool through 8. If you wish
to help with this worthwhile cause,
please bring your donations to St.
Kieran’s the weekend of August
13/14 and we will see that they are
taken to the Samaritan House. In

St. Kieran Adoration Chapel
N.E. Corner of the
Religious Education Building
“Let us beseech the Lord to reawaken in us the
joy at His presence and that we may once more
adore Him. Without adoration, there is no
transformation of the world.” “The measure of
life in the Church, the measure of her inner
openness, will be seen in that she will be able to
keep her doors open, because she is a praying
Church. I ask you all therefore from the heart,
let us make a new start at this. Let us again
recollect that the Church is always alive, that
within her evermore the Lord comes to meet us.
The Eucharist and its fellowship, will be all the
more complete, the more we prepare ourselves
for Him in silent prayer before the Eucharistic
presence of our Lord.” (Quotes from Pope
Benedict XVI’s book God is Near Us: The
Eucharist, The Heart of Life, published as
Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger).
CALL TODAY:
PAT 586-739-9694 or BEV 586-781-3329 to
commit to an hour of prayer in the presence of
the Blessed Sacrament. Jesus waits for you in
this Sacrament of Love. St. Kieran Adoration

Make Cleaning Rewarding
For many older and disabled adults
who are struggling to remain in
their own homes, simple tasks that
we take for granted like dusting and
vacuuming can become next to
impossible. Not only can a
cluttered or dirty house be
uncomfortable, but it can become a
real health and safety hazard. The
M a co m b C oun t y I n t e r f a i th
Caregivers program provides
supportive services such as these to
those in our community who cannot
afford to pay for professional help
and do not have family available
locally to assist them. If you have a
couple of hours once or twice a
month that you can offer to provide
some light housekeeping for a
struggling neighbor,
you can make a real
difference in their
life. Please contact
us at 586-757-5551.

Put your best foot forward and
help Pangea Educational
Development (PED) by donating
your old yet wearable shoes. PED is
a non-profit organization whose
sole mission is to empower
students and unify communities
through the construction of
sustainable schools in
underprivileged areas. PED’s goal is
to raise 22,000 shoes. Items will
go to Africa for those in need.
Without shoes parasites can enter
the human foot resulting in illness
and even death. Not only are
people in Africa being helped with
wearable shoes and education
opportunities through PED, but
American landfills are not filled
with usable shoes.
Please bring your shoes before
the Masses on the weekend of
August 13/14 and leave them in the
Narthex. Any kind of footwear is
appreciated, from boots, to shoes
to flip flops, as long as they are
wearable. The footwear can show
wear, but the sole needs to be
serviceable. Footwear is needed for
children, women and men. If you
have any questions please call Diane
Schwartz at 586 556-0117.

W
hy is it important to be registered in a parish?
Registration is the official way we join a parish community. Many people think that because they attend a
particular parish they automatically belong. At times young adults who have moved away for years think
they are still registered under their parents. But membership requires signing up - formally enrolling yourself in a
parish. Registration is a commitment to a community, a way to be included in the religious, social and ministerial
activities of your parish. Your registration affects the parish in many ways. Census numbers can determine how
many priests are assigned to a church, what benefits and obligations the community has to the diocese, and how
Masses and programs are planned and scheduled. Registration shows you belong! It is also necessary for certain
benefits, like scheduling sacraments, obtaining sponsor certificates, and getting donation statements for tax
purposes. Most importantly, it lets the parish count on you, to call on you to assist in its mission. Registering in
your parish is a statement of faith and confidence in the life and work of your parish.
