St. JOHN VIANNEY

--The St. John Vianney Tuesday Morning Bible Study will  RESUME on Tuesday, September 11th at 10 a.m. at the residence of Paul and Nancy Passalugo.  
For more information, please see Father Stainbrook or the Passalugos after Mass. All welcome!

--ANOTHER INVITATION FROM THE DIOCESE OF FORT WORTH 
The "White Mass" for those in Medical Fields will be celebrated  Monday, Oct. 15, 2018,  beginning at 6:30 p.m. in St. Patrick Cathedral. This beautiful mass celebrates the importance of the special vocation physicians, dentists, surgeons, nurses, aides, therapists, and other health care professionals have chosen.
The Mass will be celebrated by Most Reverend Michael F. Olson, Bishop of Fort Worth. As one of the "On Call" Catholic Chaplains for the Diocese, Father Stainbrook will also be on the Altar at this mass. 
A reception will be held in the Cathedral Pastoral Center immediately following the Mass. Any and all St. John Vianney parishioners (and their family members)  who work in the medical field are encouraged to attend, and to wear their white coats or uniforms at this celebration.

--St. Michael Prayer
In light of the recent extraordinary difficulties experienced by our Beloved Catholic Church, and in reparation and petition for  the failure of many of our priests and bishops at this time,  a movement has arisen to  restore the use of the St. Michael Prayer both at Mass and during one's private devotions. Several Bishops have instructed their inclusion at all celebrations in their dioceses.   To that end, we commend this prayer to all our parishioners and Friends of St. John Vianney.
Saint Michael Archangel,
defend us in battle,
be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil;
may God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly host,
by the power of God, cast into hell
Satan and all the evil spirits
who prowl through the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.


 
--The  Monday Night Book Club is reading " THE POWER OF SILENCE" by Cardinal Robert Sarah. All are welcome!  For more information, please see Book Club Coordinators Tex Ann Quimby or Phil Kastner after Mass.

COFFEE TIME AT SJV after Mass 
We are looking for some additional families to undertake this very important ministry of hospitality on Sunday mornings (Some wags have even called "Coffee Hour" the 8th Sacrament!)  The more families who volunteer, the fewer Sundays each family must shoulder -- if you and your family can help, please see COFFEE HOUR COORDINATOR, EARL LUTZ after Mass.
