Catechist of the Week
Our Catechist of the Week is Ellen Guidry. A former leader in the
Liturgy of the Word with Children, Ellen is in her rst year here
as a catechist in the Kindergarten faith formation classroom
program at the 9:15 AM Mass. Ellen and her husband have four
daughters and two dogs in their family. When asked to share with
us her preferred style of prayer, Ellen told us that conversational
prayer was her favorite - talking and listening to God. She would
like the children in her class to understand that prayer can
happen at any time and in any place. You can pray with your eyes
open or closed. There is no wrong way to pray. Talk to Godhes
a great listener! Thanks and God bless you, Ellen, for stepping
out in faith to bring our young ones into closer relationship with
Jesus this year!

MARRIAGE MOMENTS
Only one leper returned to give thanks to God
(Luke 17:18)
Gratitude is a popular, poster virtue these days,
but inspiration does not always
translate into action.
Today do two acts of gratitude.
#1: Notice and thank your beloved for
an act of kindness.
#2: Note a problem in your life. Turn it around
by imagining how it could have been worse.
Thank God.
PARENTING POINTERS:
October is Respect Life month.
Are there people in our world that you find
difficult to respect?
(criminals, people who are lazy or mean,
people of a different political persuasion...)
Yes, even they are worthy of human respect.
Talk to your children about giving respect even to people they don't like.

VOCATIONS CROSS
Wade Emmett, family member #53, joined the new Roman Catholic Church in the West End with the initial 250
families who were ready to take a chance to become part of a church based on the documents of Vatican II. He
listened as Fr. John Leonard told the new members that once they decided what they wanted this parish to be
and do, it would be up to them to recognize God's presence in themselves and to do the work of making the
parish what they wanted. It was not long before people began to find their niche, and so it was with Wade. He had
his camera as he captured moments in our parishs early history: parishioners taking ownership of their new
parish on the roof of the small rancher; coming to clean-up day with rakes and paint brushes in hand; coming
together to form Pastoral and Finance Councils; making banners to transform the stage at Short Pump Middle
into a makeshift sanctuary. Thanks to Wade, we have pictures of it all. Because of Wade, all families with children
who ever made first communion here have their own picture of the actual event and we have a pictorial record of
the Vocation Cross recipients. It is obvious that Wade has shared his love for this faith community with his
camera and quiet demeanor that almost made his presence invisible. Wade and his wife Rebecca have had to
care for their daughter who has been ill for some time. She remains on our prayer list, as does Wade.
Our prayers, love, and gratitude go to the Emmett Family. Thank you, Wade!

Do you like talking to people? Are you looking for a project that
you could donate your time from home or the church? We need
you to help with making phone calls to potential sponsors for the
25th anniversary. Training will be provided. If interested, please
call Jo Rohr 527-1037 or email at jrohr@saint-mikes.org.
How much did you spend on groceries, gas, fast food, and pharmacy this past week
or in the past 30 days - $50, $100, $500 or more?
Now for the interesting question.
How much of those purchases were made using SCRIP gift cards you purchased
from St. Michael?
With your purchase of SCRIP gift cards, you can make your routine purchases and St. Michael
reaps the benefits. All profits are used for the parishs monthly mortgage. We can all pay a large portion of
the church mortgage with our intentional use of SCRIP each week.
Your regular use of St. Michael SCRIP truly does make a difference. Please buy SCRIP, either at the table
before and after Masses or during the week in the office. We offer payment options of credit/debit, cash, or
check. WE NEED YOU!!!!
