Saint Michael Parish Hudson, MA RELIGIOUS EDUCATION Registrations: Now that the children are returning to school, we ask that families please be sure to send your registration information in to the Religious Education Office as soon as possible. Without the use of the old school building, we are short a few classrooms this year and will have to begin to limit the number of children that can attend classes in the first session on Sunday mornings from 10 - 11 a.m. Those who are registered in advance will be given priority, so please register right away. Catechists needed! So what else is new at this time of the year? We are in need of catechists on Sunday mornings and Tuesday evenings. We will provide guides and training - it’s not as hard as you may think. The best catechists are not those who have all the answers for the children, but those who practice the faith. Please pray and consider taking a class this year. Classroom / Catechist assignments will be sent out to each family this week. If you have made a special request (for a particular class or catechist) we want you to know that, in almost every case so far, we have been able to comply with your request.

Twenty Third Sunday in Ordinary Time September 6, 2009 Saint Michael School News ~ Noticias da Escola de S. Miguel Saint Michael School wishes to thank the many people, parents, students, grandparents, volunteers and especially our faculty, and committee and governance board members, who all have contributed to its successful move these past weeks. Many activities are planned for the upcoming weeks. School opens for all grades on Tuesday, September 8, the Blessed Mother’s birthday. Our first day will be a half-day with an 11:15 dismissal for all classes. As is our tradition, a Welcome Coffee will be hosted by our Home & School Association, this year taking place in the gym. The traditional school Opening Liturgy will take place on September 9, at 9:00 AM, (09/09/09 at 9:00). We welcome all to join us as we begin our new year with prayer. Pizza, Beer and Prayer Meeting The St. Michael Men’s Club will host its first meeting of the year on Wednesday, September 16 at 7:00 pm in the first floor meeting room of the Parish Center. We will have a social gathering from 7-7:30 pm, followed by our scriptural prayer session and then our open discussion period. In our final meeting in May we decided as a group that we would offer our services to Father Ron for a parish project that he feels we could be of service in accomplishing. We have twenty two active members who have made our meetings fun, spiritual and relationship building. If you would like to spend some time with a group of faith filled, fun loving and special people, come join us. The pizza is delicious, the beer is cold and the relationships fulfilling.

RCIA ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT BECOMING A CATHOLIC? The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults at St Michael Parish is a ongoing process of formation specifically for people who are thinking about joining the Catholic Church. Through a process of inquiry, learning, prayer and reflection offered a period of time, one learns what it means to become a Catholic Christian, and is then able to make an informed choice. If you have been thinking about becoming Catholic, perhaps now is a good time to explore the possibility.
