September Prayer Tools -- Creating a Prayer Space
One of our goals for this month is for our households to create a prayer space in their homes (or refresh an existing one). Whether you live in a household of one person or ten, having a focal point for prayer aids in quieting down and placing oneself in God's presence. A prayer space can be anywhere -- a dedicated corner of a room, a shelf with some spiritual items on it, the centerpiece of the kitchen table, .... And it is good to add to your prayer space as the year unfolds.

Discovering the New Testament
As we explore the New Testament this year, it is good for us to have a reminder of how the Bible is organized and how to look up a Scripture verse or passage (group of verses). Here is a short description of how the books of the Bible are arranged and another explanation of how to look something up in the Bible.

Participate
Faithful Citizenship
Although many of us are tired of all the political ads, it is essential that we Catholics exercise our rights and responsibilities to participate in the governance of our nation, state, and local communities. As Catholic citizen, we are called to register to vote, to inform our consciences, and to make informed decisions as we exercise our right to vote. To discover more about our call to participate in the public square, please visit the USCCB's Faithful Citizenship page.
Our parish will offer an opportunity for individuals to register to vote and learn about options for voting after the Masses on the weekend of September 19 and 20.
