Dear Parishioners and Visitors,
“Silence . . . ”
Many times silence is really golden. In quiet moments, we
can listen to the voice of God within and foster a peace
within ourselves that enables us to grow in wisdom and
grace.
“Silence . . . ”
Sometimes silence can be deadly, especially when it means
we fail to speak up for what is important. “If only I had
said something . . .” All of us have moments of regret for
not speaking up when someone is being hurt, a reputation
is being ruined, statements of prejudice are being voiced,
or harmful gossip is being spread.
Christ was truly compassionate toward those who were
hurting or outcast. But he was also not afraid to speak the
truth and to correct. Instances of this come to mind . . .
▪ To Peter, “Get behind me you Satan.”
▪ To the Pharisees, “You hypocrites.”
▪ To those ready to stone a women, “Let him without
sin cast the first stone.”
▪ To all of us, “I have come to cast fire on the earth.”
John Quiñones in his
television program
“What Would You
Do?” stages situations
where ordinary people
are filmed either
speaking up or avoiding issues when someone should speak up
on behalf of others. “What would you do?” is a great
question!
I challenge myself and all of you to pray for the gift of
knowing when to keep silent and when to speak up.
When good people fail to speak up, more harm can be
done than those who do evil. Whether in our homes, at
work, or at social events out in public, there are times for
us to speak out for what is right and just.
~Fr. Paul Demuth, Pastor
T h e S e r e n i t y P r a ye r
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the
pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make
all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in
this life and supremely happy with
Him Forever in the next.
Amen.

Usually, whenever we do
anything for anyone, we
do it out of love for that
person because we care.
Whether we realize it or not, caring is showing love. In
last week’s bulletin article on Relationship Building
Through Service, we read that through serving one another, we serve Jesus because He told us “Whatsoever
you do for the least of my people, that you do unto
me.” So when we intentionally choose to ‘do something’ for others, we do it not only to express our love
for that person but also for Jesus Christ. As Catholic
Christians, all good things we do, we do out of love for
Christ.
As Church, we are the body of Christ. We are His
eyes, ears, heart, hands and feet. It is up to us to carry
out His mission of service. As we pray and discern on
how we can serve, consider stepping up in your commitment to service by becoming more active in the
parish. This past June, our parish sponsored the first
ever Ministry Fair which displayed all of the wonderful
ministries we have here at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton.
There are multiple opportunities to serve at every level
of commitment. Serving at the parish level is the heart
of our parish. It’s what keeps our parish alive.
Jesus served us out of love by giving up His life on the
cross, and through His resurrection, He obtained salvation for us. As we serve, remember that whatsoever
we do, that we do out of love for Christ. As you contemplate serving, you may want to say the prayer of St.
Ignatius Loyola which is below.
Do you know an adult
interested in getting Confirmed?
Discussion and planning sessions will
begin here at our parish in September.

[email protected] or (920) 499-1546
Do you know anyone who considers themselves Catholic but hasn’t been to church in a
while? Do they have questions about the
Church’s position on an issue? Have they
been thinking of returning to the Church?
Have they felt hurt or rejected by the Church?
St. Bernard’s is offering a program open to
inactive Catholics beginning Tuesday, September 13, 7pm, for five Tuesdays. For questions
or to register, contact Deacon Larry at (920)
468-4922.
Have you ever been asked questions about your Catholic faith and
been unable to answer? Have you ever felt uncomfortable when
friends, co-workers, or family members challenged you because of
what you believe? Have people ever come to your door trying to
convince you that your Catholic faith is just plain wrong? If you
answered yes to any of these questions or just want to learn more, or
have a review of certain aspects of our faith, come to

Mass intentions are the object for which a priest offers the Eucharistic Sacrifice. They are most commonly for the repose
of the soul of someone who has died. Infinite graces flow from the Sacrifice of the Mass which benefit one’s soul. The
person requesting the Mass intention does not need to be in attendance at the Mass for which they made the request. The
stipend is set by Canon Law and is given for offering the Mass which thereby, in justice, creates an obligation which must
be satisfied. For additional information, contact the parish office at (920) 499-1546.
