It's amazing how quickly adopting that attitude, that approach, can change the happiness levels in our lives. Commentary: By Clem Schwartz, Director of Faith Formation What will you do today that is the next right thing? I know that some days nothing seems to go the way I want it to go. I recall an old saying I wrote when I was in high school seminary studying to be a priest. The saying was: “It’s the effort that counts and not the results.” That saying got me through tough times when I was lonely or disappointed with what I had experienced that particular day. Did I make the effort to be the best person God expected? And so what happened today, does it really matter? It is your effort that counts and some days don’t always go the way you want. Matthew Kelly reminds us to look at the progress were are making. None of has reached perfection. Every day is an opportunity to be a little more the best version of ourselves. Looking for a good book? Why not purchase this best seller.... The Fisherman's Tomb by acclaimed author...John O'Neill A Texas oilman. A brilliant female archaeologist. An unknown world underneath the Vatican. In 1939, a team of workers beneath the Vatican unearthed an early Christian grave. This surprising discovery launched a secret quest that would last decades — a quest to discover the long-lost burial place of the Apostle Peter. From earliest times, Christian tradition held that Peter — a lowly fisherman from Galilee, whom Christ made leader of his Church — was executed in Rome by Emperor Nero and buried on Vatican Hill. But his tomb had been lost to history. Now, funded anonymously by a wealthy American, a small army of workers embarked on the dig of a lifetime. The incredible, sometimes shocking, story of the 75-year search and its key players has never been fully told — until now. The quest would pit one of the 20th century’s most talented archaeologists — a woman — against top Vatican insiders. "The Fisherman’s Tomb" is a story of the triumph of faith and genius against all odds. Buy it now at OSV Catholic Bookstore.

You may join the Sunday evening classes for the RITE OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION FOR ADULTS (RCIA) beginning September 16th from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m. during the weekly classes for children in grades 1-8 in the public school. You will join the other adults who have never been baptized or wish to celebrate the sacraments of Holy Communion and Confirmation in the spring of the year, too. We highly recommend you participate in a yearlong preparation renewing your Catholic Faith by sharing with others who wish to join our Catholic community. However, this is not a requirement for those Catholics who have been actively practicing their Catholic Faith for many years. The second option is to register as a candidate for the sacrament of Confirmation NOW! The only requirement will be to meet with Clem Schwartz to answer any questions who may have about the Catholic Church and to complete the necessary paperwork. We strongly encourage that your spouse or a good friend be asked to be your Confirmation Sponsor no matter which option you choose. Please complete this registration form or phone this information into Mary Ellen Boruta, 363-6897, in the Parish Office. Or drop this form in the parish collection basket by the end of the month.

  • Here Would Be a Message from the Northern Athletics President
    WELCOME MESSAGE Normally in this space there would be a message from the Northern Athletics President. Unfortunately that is not the case this year as our incumbent President, Dr Leo Carroll sadly passed away in June after a short illness. I would however like to pay tribute to him here by remembering what a devoted athletics fan he was. An accomplished athlete for Wirral AC in his youth, Leo went on to become Hon Secretary, Chairman and/or President of Wirral AC, Merseyside AA, Northern Athletics and the ECCA amongst many other roles. Leo became NA President in November 2015 and had carried out his duties presenting medals and meeting the athletes at all Championship events up to the Senior Championships in June when he was too ill to attend. He thoroughly enjoyed the tasks associated with the Presidency and would have had a great time this weekend as he was particularly involved with Endurance events both as an athlete and as a fan. Whilst you are enjoying the races today, please spare a moment to remember that without loyal servants like Leo Carroll voluntarily carrying out administrative, coaching and officiating tasks, sports events such as this one simply would not happen. Thanks to all you unsung heroes out there. On a lighter note I would like to wish all the competitors here this weekend the best of luck in achieving their goals at whatever level that may be. Have a great day TIMETABLE 11.30 Under 13 Boys 3 x 3000 metres 11.35 Under 13 Girls 3 x 3000 metres 12.15 Under 15 Boys 3 x 3000 metres 12.20 Under 15 Girls 3 x 3000 metres 13.00 Under 17 Men 3 x 3300 metres 13.05 Under 17 Women 3 x 3300 metres 14:00 Senior Men 6 x 6000 metres 14:05 Senior Women 4 x 6000 metres Presentations Presentations will be made as soon as possible after each race - listen to the P.A.

  • PRESS RELEASE Everyman Theatre, Liverpool 18Th Feb 2014 the Liverpool Everyman Is a New Theatre, Won in Open European Competiti
    PRESS RELEASE Everyman Theatre, Liverpool 18th Feb 2014 The Liverpool Everyman is a new theatre, won in open European competition, for an internationally regarded producing company. The scope of work includes a 400 seat adaptable auditorium, a smaller performance and development space, a large rehearsal room, public foyers, exhibition spaces, catering and bar facilities, along with supporting offices, workshops and ancillary spaces. The entire façade is a large, collaborative work of public art. The design combines thermally massive construction with a series of natural ventilation systems and low energy technical infrastructures to achieve a BREEAM Excellent rating for this complex and densely inhabited urban building. Steve Tompkins, Director of Haworth Tompkins said: "The Everyman project has been a labour of love for almost a decade, during which time we've come to understand the unique quality of Liverpool's architecture and the deep civic pride of its people. I hope this new incarnation of the Everyman will command the same affection and loyalty as the previous one, and inspire a new generation of Liverpool theatre makers and audiences." The Everyman holds an important place in Liverpool culture. The original theatre, converted from the 19th century Hope Hall chapel, had served the city well as a centre of creativity, conviviality and dissent (often centred in its famous subterranean Bistro) but by the new millennium the building was in need of complete replacement to serve a rapidly expanding production and participation programme. Haworth Tompkins’ brief was to design a technically advanced and highly adaptable new theatre that would retain the friendly, democratic accessibility of the old building, project the organisation’s values of cultural inclusion, community engagement and local creativity, and encapsulate the collective identity of the people of Liverpool.
