September 9, 2018

Schools have started and organizations are putting their calendar of events together for the coming months. It looks like a busy time of the year. It is exciting to get things under way again. Students will learn new concepts in the classroom. New heights will be achieved in sports. Relationships will grow and develop. There is a sense of anticipation in the air.

Please follow the bulletin closely as all of the events of these next few months get underway. The Little Rock Bible Study Program will continue on Monday evenings. On Tuesday evenings there will be the review of the next Sunday’s Scriptures. We will continue Monday Adoration and Frist Friday Adoration which will include praying for victims of sexual abuse and greater transparency and accountability from Church leadership. The Rite of Christian Initiation (RCIA) process will be forming again in a few weeks to welcome new members into the Catholic Church.

Watch for details of the Parish Picnic on September 9th and events planned by the Knights of Columbus, the Columbiettes and Social Ministry. St. Rita School will also hold its annual walk-a-thon on September 30th.

It is a busy month that will invite us all to be part of many events. Please keep in mind that the Mercy of God inspires us to do these things. As members of Divine Mercy Parish the Corporal and Spiritual Works of Mercy continue to inspire us to action of helping others, but also education, inspiration and advocacy
