SATURDAY, AUGUST 19
Next month's “The Word Among Us”
has been placed out at the entrances. If this resource is found
valuable, please considering off setting the cost to the parish. The
suggested donation is $1/copy, as is marked on the envelopes provided. Join us on Tuesday for “The Way” starring Martin Sheen, 7:00 PM at
the Hancock Cinemas. This film is about “The Camino”, the ancient
pilgrimage route from France across Northern Spain to the tomb of St.
James (Santiago de Compostella). Though this is a drama, there is also a
documentary available on Netflix about the Camino, called “Footprints”. Those who would like to arrange for flowers in the Church, such as in
front of the Blessed Mother or the Sacred Heart of Jesus altars, in
memory of a loved one, are asked to schedule it with the office, so that
we do not accidentally overbook flowers. Also, if someone would like to
request an intention for a week, for the candles that burn weekly at the
Mary and Jesus altars, please also contact the office. The memorial for
the flowers and prayer intentions for the candles will be printed in the
bulletin. * * * Many dioceses right here in the United States do not
have enough priests and trained lay ministers to serve their parishes.
These dioceses are known as home missions. They struggle to fund basic
and essential pastoral works such as parish faith formation, priestly
and religious formation, lay ministry training, and evangelization; and
are unable to attend to the needs that are unique to the communities
they serve. With your support, the Catholic Home Missions Appeal helps
ease the struggle and form vibrant faith communities * * * This week the spotlight for the businesses that help support St. Paul’s by advertising in the bulletin are: The Fox Bowling Center 607-637-4401 Remember to support those that support St. Paul’s

“Unbound” Update, Part 2: Unbound is an organization
that helps individuals in third world countries gain access to
education, nutrition, at times medical care and personal items that help
them and their families to gain access to a better life. We at St. Paul
the Apostle church are currently supporting through contributions two
individuals, one from Honduras and one from the Philippines. We provide
through letters and our donation encouragement to the individual and
their families. Our second young lady is Glea Aguelo Tagumpay, age 12
who is living in the Philippines. She is 12 years old and reports she
loves dancing and her studies especially Filipino. Glea reports she is
very grateful for our financial support. Glea reports without our help
