"I am the Light of the World; whoever follows me shall not walk in darkness, but will have the Light of Life. - John 8:12

• Are you an adult who has not been baptized and wonders about joining the Catholic Church?

• Are you a Baptized Christian who would like to now be in full communion with the Catholic Church?

• Are you someone who has been married to a Catholic and would like to know more about what Catholics believe?

• Are you a Catholic who has received all of the sacraments but has been away from the Church and now you feel you need a refresher course?

• Are you someone looking for God and not sure if the Catholic Church is the right place to find him?

If you answered yes to any of the above questions, plan to join the St. George Catholic Church RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation) process.

Everyone is welcome and there is no obligation to join the Catholic Church.

Inquiry sessions are every Monday 7-8:30 pm in the Bishop Scanlan Building 2nd floor conference room beginning Sept. 13th.

FALL CCD:

The first day for CCD will be September 12th. Sacrament grades (3rd and 9th) have a registration deadline of September 26th. We are very eager to get going again and see all the smiling faces!

DDD UPDATE

The diocese is starting its second push to meet the diocesan DDD goals. As of june 30th our parish is short $10.000.00! There are many families that have not yet pledged. Out of 1000 registered families only 220 have pledged! I ask each family that has not pledged to make a pledge of $50.00. There are blank pledge forms in the office. Pick up your pledge form, fill it out and pledge that you will send $25.00 In July or August and then another $25.00 In October or November. The diocese will send you a reminder in the mail. All you need to do is make the pledge - just $25.00 a month (two times). With your pledge you help support many ministries, rural missions, vocations, catholic community services and many more. With these programs we are able to share our Catholic faith throughout Utah. We are all called to serve. Let us serve by supporting the bishop’s programs. $25.00 For two months is a small request.

Thank you for your continued support. Many of you have given generously to support Bishop Wester’s ministries. There is much more information at the website: http://dioslcddd.org

Please bring your donations to Sandra at the church office or call 673-2604 for specific needs. Additionally Scrip can be purchased for grocery stores so that families can purchase Milk, Meat, Bread and short shelf life necessities. Thank You for your support. Your Parish Council

The pastoral council would like to find parishioners who would be willing to help other parishioners that are in need of housekeeping help. This support would only be needed a couple times a month. At the present time we have a parishioner that needs this kind of support. If you are willing to donate a couple hours a month, please contact the church office at 673-2604 or call Marianne Rowe at 656-5565. God bless you for your assistance.
