Do you know someone who was baptized Catholic as an infant, but never received any other sacraments, or attended religious education or Mass while growing up? Are you a visitor, curious about what the Catholic Church teaches? Perhaps thinking about joining the Catholic Church? Catholic Inquiry sessions: Every Monday at 6pm in Room 111. All are welcome to join us! For more info, please call Edie Shanahan, 865-271-9276, or [email protected]. ST. VINCENT DE PAUL In today’s Gospel, Jesus lays out the demands of following him, the great cost of discipleship. The Mission Statement of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul states: “Vincentians witness God’s love by embracing all works of charity and justice…the Society makes no distinction in those served because, in them, Vincentians see the face of Christ.” Have you considered answering the call to help serve the poor by joining the Society of St. Vincent de Paul? The next meeting of the Society will be on Friday, September 16 at 1:00pm in the Deacon Jose Rivera Room of the Parish Family Life Center. Call Larry Finneran at (865) 6579119 for more information. Note that the Society can also accept donations of working washers, dryers, ranges and small to medium size refrigerators. PRAY THE ROSARY You are invited to come early to the 5:00 PM Mass and pray the Rosary of Our Blessed Mother Mary, at 4:30 PM. PARISH OFFICE CLOSING Monday, September 5th in observance of Labor Day. ST. VINCENT DE PAUL SOCIETY MUSIC LITURGY We could use some help on a new project; providing help with weekend food packages to students in financial need at Loudon County’s North Middle School. Once a month you would pack bags containing nonperishable food. These would then be disbursed to approximately fifty qualifying students. Your time commitment would be two hours per month. Please consider taking advantage of this opportunity to put your Faith into Action. Call Katy Finneran at 657-9119 or e-mail her at [email protected] to volunteer. Join us for a fun-filled season of music and liturgy! Rehearsals at 6:30 pm Wednesdays and 45 minutes before Sunday Masses. BEING MORTAL BY ATUL GAWANDE On September 15, 6:30 – 8:00pm, in PFLC, Fr. Doug will speak on the book Being Mortal by Atul Gawande. Gawande, a practicing surgeon, addresses his profession's ultimate limitation, arguing that quality of life is the desired goal for patients and families. Gawande offers examples of freer, more socially fulfilling models for assisting the infirm and dependent elderly, and he explores the varieties of hospice care to demonstrate that a person's last weeks or months may be rich and dignified. Reading this book is not required to attend Fr. Doug’s talk. Both the book and the talk are suggested as excellent ways to prepare for the End of Life Seminar in October. Please secure your own book. YOUR PARISH NEEDS YOU! Can you make yourself available four hours per month to serve your parish? We are very much in need of volunteers to join our Housekeeping teams. You need only to commit four hours per month, and be willing to work with a team of other St. Thomas’ parishioners. We can keep our parish facilities clean and beautiful by working and serving together. Please consider joining us in this important work. OUR KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS COUNCIL IS OUTSTANDING JOIN US FOR FALL PARISH WORK DAYS FRIDAY & SATURDAY, September 16-17 Father John Savocca council #12633, St. Thomas the Apostle Parish received the STAR Council Award for 2016. Councils with outstanding achievement in membership, insurance and service programs qualify for the award. This is the most prestigious award a Knights of Columbus council can earn. Please join us for fall parish work days as we spruce up, clean up and fix up our parish. We have lots to do, both inside and out, and your help is needed. No special skills required, just enthusiasm and a desire to serve. Let us know which days and times you are available to help by adding your name to the sign-up sheet in the church or the PFLC, or call/email to let us know your availability: To qualify, a council must have received the Columbian Award requiring four of the major service programs in Church, Community, Council, Family, Culture of Life and Youth. In addition a membership and insurance goal must be met. For several years the council has met all requirements for Star Council except an increase in membership. This year our recruitment drive was very successful helping us achieve this award. Council 12633 is a great council. Our members embody the principles of the organization: Charity, Unity, Fraternity and Patriotism. We are proud to have been recognized as a Star Council. Why don’t you consider helping us to achieve Star Council next year? We invite you to join us in service to our parish and community.

THOMAS Monday, September 5, 6:30 PM, PFLC Restless Heart: The Confessions of Augustine. Uses a historic backdrop to tell the story of one of the Church's most beloved and well-known saints. It’s message of sin, conversion, redemption is as timely today as it was in the 5th century of St. Augustine. He had a brilliant mind, but was seduced by power; he was lost but wrestled with the truth. “You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless until they rest in you.” St. Augustine MONTECARLO QUARTET CONCERT Sunday, September 18 @ 2:00PM Montecarlo Quartet Concert tickets will be on sale in the narthex after all Masses.
