ANNUAL APPEAL
The Diocesan Annual Appeal will kick off next weekend, Sept 20-21, with a message from Bishop Bambera, and your opportunity to make an in-pew pledge here at Mass. This year, the Diocese is emphasizing its many and various important Ministries throughout the whole Diocese, and calling it "The Annual Appeal for the Ministries of the Diocese."

Our parish goal this year is $81,699. Please consider your best gift to support our Catholic Schools, Vocations (Seminarians, Priests, Deacons, Retired Priests); Catholic Social Services; Child Protection; Parish Life Programs; and Catholic Communication through various media. Prayerfully consider a generous pledge this year.
MONTHLY EUCHARISTIC ADORATION
Adoration will be Friday, October 3 from 9:00 AM until 7:00 PM.

Please sign up for your preferred hour for Adoration: one or more persons need to be here for every hour throughout the day; sign-up sheets are on the small table on your way out of the church. If unable to commit to an hour, please do come at your convenience for some quiet and rest in the presence of Jesus exposed in the Blessed Sacrament on the altar. Pray, or meditate, or perhaps read some Scripture. You could even simply sit back and enjoy the company of Jesus Christ.

There will not be Mass on the first Saturday.

Put them in the collection basket or email them to Marie Seibert. Her information is in the bulletin. If you want to share your faith at CCD, teachers, subs, and aides are needed. If interested, contact Marie.
Telephone Scam
We have received reports of people receiving telephone calls from the rectory in an attempt to collect unpaid invoices. The scammers are spoofing Caller ID to display our phone number, and using publicly available names of parish staff to trick you into divulging personal financial information.

If you receive one of these telephone calls, just hang up. SS Peter & Paul Church does not make calls to collect unpaid bills. Please call your financial institution if you believe that your account security has been compromised.
Prayer for Pope Leo XIV
Heavenly Father,

You have raised Your servant, Pope Leo XIV, to the Chair of Saint Peter.
Pour out Your abundant blessings upon him.
Through him, guide Your pilgrim Church along the path to Heaven.
Grant him wisdom to discern Your will,Courage to fulfill it,
And charity to shepherd Your people with the Heart of Christ.

In this time of transition,
Bring peace to troubled hearts,
Joy to those who suffer,
And hope to the despairing.

May he be a faithful successor to Peter,
A humble servant of Your Word,
And a fearless herald of Your Divine Mercy and Truth.
Strengthen him with the grace of the Holy Spirit,
That he may lead the Church in unity, holiness, and fidelity.

We entrust him to the maternal care of the Blessed Virgin Mary,
And to the prayers of all the saints.
Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
