(Saint Augustine Church, Barberton, OH) (July 17, 2011) Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time Notice in todays gospel

that while everybody was asleep, an enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat. Our children are growing up among dangerous weeds. At a time when children need more guidance, often we are asleep. It is time to be alert and engaged with our children. (Insert graphic 1106-0086)
360 Holy Hours were kept before the Blessed Sacrament this past week. "Sympathize with Jesus who is betrayed, insulted, mocked and crucified far more in His Sacrament of Love than He was in the Garden of Olives, in Jerusalem, and on Calvary. Those whom He has the most honored and enriched with His gifts and graces are the very ones who offend Him the most by their indifference." St Peter Julian Eymard Let us praise God for almost fifty years of perpetual adoration here at St Augustine. I would love to tell you about the Holy Hour Program, please give Judy a call at 330-212-0926. (Insert Graphic 2404-0106.tif)

Volunteers are called on a rotating basis and may donate a dish (dessert, side or salad) which then is served at the luncheon. The program is in dire need of team members. Team members also work on a rotating basis; duties include set up, serving and cleaning up after the luncheon. This could be the perfect opportunity for you and/or a group of friends to come together to spread Gods love through service.
