St. Emily/St. Thomas Becket Religious Education Program Registrations for the 2021-22 school year are now available for our joint parish Religious Ed program! For this coming year, we will be offering in-person sessions (Wednesday nights from 6:15-7:30pm, grades 1-8) and homeschool options for grades 1-7. In class, children learn what we believe as Catholics, how to pray and how to serve. We also have a lot of fun! Students are also prepared to receive the sacraments of Reconciliation, Eucharist and Confirmation. Sunday School for children in PK3, PK4 and Kindergarten is also available. (Sundays from 9:30am until 10:30am - bring your child and stay for Mass!) Have you ever thought about becoming a catechist? It's a wonderful way to deepen your own understanding of the faith and serve the Church. We are looking to fill a few positions for the coming school year in grades 5, 7 and 8.

July 18, 2021 Welcome to St. Thomas Becket Page 7 LIVE THE LITURGY - INSPIRATION FOR THE WEEK We only have so much psychological and spiritual energy. We easily get red. Responding to life’s demands and people’s needs can really zap us of all of our energy. Anger, frustraon, exhauson, discouragement, helplessness, and even apathy can run wild. We can find ourselves bier and irritated by the fact that we have to do it all again. We need to rest, connect, and focus. Deserted places, free of unnecessary distracons and demands, are great places of refreshment and we all need them. Desiring to be alone for a bit and rest does not indicate selfishness. Rather, it radiates wisdom. God is the source of all we do and the sasfacon of every human heart. If we are going to use the gi s God gave us well, then we have to make sure our baeries are recharged and replenished. Jesus invites us to go to a desert place to rest and pray.
