God of wisdom and might,
we praise you for the wonder of our being,
for mind, body and spirit.
Be with our children as they begin
a new school year.
Bless them and their teachers and staff.
Give the strength and grace as their bodies grow;
wisdom and knowledge to their minds
as they search for understanding;
and peace and zeal to their hearts.
We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

CATHOLIC DIOCESE OF FORT WORTH 50TH ANNIVERSARY MASS
|
|
You are invited to join fellow Catholic Diocese of Fort Worth parishioners to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Diocese’s establishment by Pope Paul VI in 1969 when there were 67,000 Catholics in the 28-county part of North Texas that comprises the Diocese. Today, the Diocese has 1.2 million self-identified Catholic in the same 28 counties.
|
|
The theme of the Diocese 50th anniversary celebration is: Eucharist Makes us the Church. Bishop Michael Olson writes: "The Eucharist unites us more integrally than simply our gathering as a congregation of individuals; the Eucharist offers us communion with each other as through its offering we worshipped God as He desires to be worshipped. In short, the Eucharist makes us the Church."

ADORATION OF THE BLESSED SACRAMENT
Starting Monday August 19th Saint Andrew will open the Sacred Heart Adoration Chapel on weekdays from 7am to 9pm and soon to follow on weekends as well.
To date we have been blessed with 126 committed adorers to a weekly hour of Adoration and 27 subs. God is amazing!!
There are still slots to fill to open on Saturday/Sunday and also our goal is to have 2 people per shift and many weekday spots are in need of an additional adorer as well.
See the list below of times Adorers are still needed. You can look in the "need" column to see how many are needed still during each hour. If an hour is not on the list or a whole entire day (like Monday) is not there, it is because the slot is already filled with 2 adorers or in some cases even more.
If you are interested in signing up or to learn more about Adoration in general you can do so at
https://standrewcc.org/eucharistic-adoration.
If you cannot commit to a weekly slot right now signing up as a sub is also available. Just check sub only when you sign up.
