WEDDING: Congratulations to Marion Lopatniuk & Elizabeth

One way the Catholic Home Mission Appeal works to support
home mission dioceses in the United States is by supporting
seminarian formation in poor dioceses. Often home mission
priests and lay ministers require special training to attend to the
unique needs of their faith communities. Your support is needed.
Please help strengthen the Church at home by making a generous
gift to next week’s Appeal.

NEWS FROM OTHER ORGANIZATIONS
Problems Watching Televised Mass? Some residents of the
Albany Diocese who watch the Diocese's "Table of the Lord" televised Mass need to make a change in order to continue accessing
it. In July, Time Warner Cable, which airs "Table of the Lord," began broadcasting public access television channels in digital format. This is a efficient way to deliver the video signal but some
customers have been unable to receive the channels on which
they watch "Table of the Lord." Time Warner cable customers who
have cable boxes will continue to see the channels that air "Table
of the Lord." Those who own digital TVs will only need to reprogram their TVs (scanning for additional channels) in order to access the channels which carry "Table of the Lord". Customers who
own analog TVs and do not have cable boxes must acquire digital
adapters in order to watch "Table of the Lord". For now, the adapters are free, but they must be ordered by September 23 in order to
avoid an immediate monthly service charge of 99 cents. Regardless of when the adapter is ordered, the fee will go into effect for
everyone after January 1. If you know someone who is having
trouble watching "Table of the Lord," please call Time Warner Cable at 1-855-286-1736 about receiving a digital adapter or go to
www.twc.com/digitaladapter. The adapters come with instructions
but anyone needing assistance can call the same number.
