We are in need of more servers for Mass (both children and adults) at all three of our parishes. If you are a boy 9 years old or older or an adult man and wish to serve please contact Fr. David and there will be a formal training to get you going. Thanks!
Please consider signing up to pray for Deacon Pat Wille after Mass this weekend as we have adopted him during his last year of seminary beginning in mid-August. The commitment is: just one time per month to pray a short prayer of your choice, or an Our Father, or a rosary. Many days are still available. Sign-up sheets are at all 3 parishes! Thank you!!
Guided, in fact, by divine inspiration and grace, St. Dominic foresaw that the devotion of the Rosary, like a most powerful warlike weapon, would be the means of putting the enemy to flight, and of confounding their audacity and mad impiety.
Are you a Catholic creator: a painter, potter, singer, songwriter, poet, crafter, embroiderer, graphic artist, or candle maker? Whatever you enjoy creating, if you are a woman 18 years old or older, consider taking a weekend for rest, renewal, and evangelization through your art. September 30-October 2, St. Matthew parish in Champaign will host Enkindle, a diocesan-wide women artists retreat. The pinnacle of this retreat will be a parish potluck at St. Matthew Saturday, October 1 where you will be able to share your art with the parish. Email lweis[email protected] for retreat schedule and registration form.

Coffee, tea & lemonade will be served. Bring your own wine if you wish. Please come and support his Mission in Ghana and say farewell.
When you say your Rosary, the angels rejoice, the Blessed Trinity delights in it, my Son finds joy in it too, and I myself am happier than you can possibly guess. After the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, there is nothing in the Church that I love as much as the Rosary.”

The immense good that this noble devotion of the rosary has done to the world is well known. How any, by its means, have been delivered from sin! How many led to a holy life! How many to a good death, and are now saved!
