On the weekend of Sept 26/27, Fr. Vince Albano from the Society
of Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity (SOLT) will give a mission
appeal at our parish. Serving in 13 countries including the United
States, SOLT Missionaries bring hope and the love of Jesus and
Mary to people living in impoverished conditions. They serve
migrant farm workers, refugees, Native Americans, orphans, the
elderly, families and those undergoing drug rehabilitation.
SOLT missionaries serve in parishes and schools giving the
sacraments and teaching catechism in remote areas. They also
care for the needs of the poor through community and family
development projects such as clean water, food and medical care.
Your generosity makes it possible for these missionaries to bring
Christ to the poor. Thank you!

of the appearance of Our Lady of the Rosary at Fatima, Portugal.
The day will begin at 10am CST in the church basement with
coffee, rolls, and a viewing of the movie, "The Miracle of Our of
Fatima", followed by the praying of the rosary. Our Lady asks us
to pray the rosary and to attend Mass on the first Saturday of each
month in atonement for the sins of the world. Mass is offered
every Saturday at 11:30 am at St. Joseph's College chapel.
Please join us to commemorate this special event. All are
welcome!

process by which adults enter the Church.
People who go through RCIA may be unbaptized or baptized in
another faith. The process will begin in the fall and end at Easter.

Online Safe Environment Training
SEPTEMBER 20, 2015
Instructions for
STAFF, CLERGY, RELIGIOUS & VOLUNTEERS
All of those volunteers, staff, religious and clergy that work with minors, need to complete the diocesan safe
environment training requirement through the Safe & Sacred™ Environment Training Program.
à
The program is designed to be respectful of the topic and your time.
à
If you need technical assistance there is a button at the top right
corner of almost every screen where there is a “live” person to assist
you.
à
à
The site is accessible anytime and on most computers, mobile devices and smartphones.
You may also contact Technical Support by calling toll-free: 888-804-9643.
It is as easy as...
1.
Create a user profile at the training web site: https://safeandsacred-dol-in.org/
Important: You will be asked to complete a background screening application. Please complete this
application as your training certificate will not be issued until a
background screening is completed.
2.
Complete the “Protecting God’s Children in the 21st Century” course.
Be sure to read the instructions and complete all of the steps.
You will be notified by email that your training certificate has been
issued if it was not available when you completed the training because
the background screening process had not yet been completed.
Your training certificate will be emailed automatically to the local safe
environment coordinator in your primary location as listed on your
registration form.
Everyone who works with young people and/or vulnerable adults shares the
responsibility of creating safe environments. We are all charged with treating
life with the respect and dignity given to each of us by our God.
Thank you for taking the time to complete this important training.

but you can still place an order for them. (2) Northside Car
Wash is the September Merchant-of-the-Month, earning you
$2 per carwash. Don’t forget that once you’ve earned $50
for the school this year, the remainder of what you earn
reduces the amount of tuition you’ll pay next year. The
sooner you start shopping with SAS Buck$, the more money
you’ll have accrued by the end of the year--the more
savings for you! Call the school (866-5480) or the church
