“Which of you wishing to construct a tower does not first sit down and calculate the cost to see if there is enough for its completion? In the same way, any one of you who does not renounce all his possessions cannot be my disciple. “
Luke 14: 28, 33

From the Desk of Father Santy
The world is full of wishful thinkers who dream and talk but never succeed because they are unprepared to make an effort. While addressing a large crowd who are eager to be His disciples, Jesus bluntly dampens their enthusiasm by challenging them in a way that is disconcerting. He is not interested in gaining a large following by softening his words and watering down the requirements needed, so he leaves his listeners under no illusion about the cost of discipleship.
The gospel presents us with a series of sayings on what the demands of a life of discipleship involve in terms of suffering and self-sacrifice. The life to be led and the conditions laid down are anything but easy: you give God everything and hold nothing back. Whole-hearted service is demanded and there is no room for compromise. The price to be paid is the heavy burden of cross carrying and it may mean the parting of company with close friends. The journey to God is so valuable that it is worth stripping our lifestyles down to the bare essentials. By doing this we realize that discipleship is more important than acquiring possessions.
This gospel makes us feel uncomfortable because our lives should demonstrate that we are carrying the cross. When the cross is absent from our lives then Christ is not present either. Putting God first in our lives is a choice we must make every day. We can hardly consider ourselves as feeling the pinch and standing up for what we believe if all we have to show is Sunday Mass with communion and a few prayers hastily said.
At moments when the struggle becomes too great, it is good to remember we are not alone; Christ is walking along every step of the road with us. We are called to be disciples at home, in the family, in our place of work, in our dealings with our neighbor, treating others as our friends and appreciating their true worth. To follow Christ through time into eternity costs nothing less than everything.

“What to Say to Someone Who is Grieving”
A grieving person needs friends and family who are willing to accompany them on their journey. This session is not only for the person who is in the midst of their grief, but also their support person(s) who may be seeking tips which will aide them in knowing what to say to that friend or family member.
Participants may attend in person or via Zoom from home. To receive the Zoom link contact Tom Bekkers, Facilitator, at tbekkers@centurytel.net, or by phone at 920-660-8066. No cost to attend, and no reservations are needed.
Our Circle of Faith parishes are in the initial stages of the one by One Campaign that the Green Bay Diocese has begun. This campaign is an investment in the future of our parishes and the Church that will bear fruit for years to come.
The campaign goal of $70 million will be used to fund these ministries:
Strengthening Parishes: $30,000,000
Growing Priestly Vocations: $10,000,000

ALL SAINTS PARISH / HOLY TRINITY PARISH

Missionary Appeal and Collection
This weekend, September 3 and 4, our parish is participating in the annual Missionary Cooperation Appeal. Father Gregory Plata of the Franciscan Order in the Assumption BVM Province will be joining us for Mass. He entered the Franciscan Order in 1981 and was ordained in 1985. He has ministered as a high school teacher, preacher of parish missions and pastor in Greenwood, MS. He currently serves as Secretary of Formation and Vocation Director for the Assumption BVM Province.
Please prayerfully consider a donation toward the Missionary Cooperation Appeal. In our Diocese, donations from all parishes are pooled and divided equally among the mission groups. This fair-share system enables our missionary speakers to go to less populated parishes in our Diocese without fear of receiving less in donations.
Parish Office Closed
The Parish Office will be closed Monday, September 5th for Labor Day. We will resume normal hours on Tuesday, September 6th.
Go Pack Go!
Help out at the Packers Pro Shop on Sunday, Sept. 18th for the game against the Chicago Bears at 7:20pm. This is a great fundraiser for our parish, and the Packers even feed our volunteers! If you are interested, please call the parish office at 920-863-5256.
Altar Society Volunteer Opportunities
All Saints Altar Society has volunteer opportunities open. We are seeking a Vice-President and Secretary beginning in September. Please contact the Parish Office at 920-863-5256 if you are interested.

Faith Formation
Please remember to fill out and return your religious education registration forms! 😊 The forms along with this year's tentative schedule are on All Saints website, denmarkareacatholic.com.
Due to a schedule conflict, we now need a 7th grade catechist this year. If you or someone you know would be able to come Wednesdays to share their faith with a great group of young people, or if you have any questions, please contact Jessica Phillips in the Faith Formation Office at (920)863-5256.
Catechetical Sunday 2022
"THIS IS MY BODY GIVEN FOR YOU"
Join us for Mass Sunday, September 18 at 8:15 am as we offer a blessing for those who come each week to share our Lord, our Catholic Faith and themselves. A blessing for all those that volunteer supporting our catechists from classroom aides, to the office, to being on our substitute list. Let us reflect on the role that each person plays, by virtue of their Baptism, in handing on the faith and being witness to the Gospel.
Following Mass there will be a light continental breakfast in the parish hall.

Churchtime Returns
Calling all young children to our Sunday morning “Churchtime” starting September 18! We are thrilled to be offering this weekly program again during the 8:00am Sunday Mass. Churchtime is for youngsters, typically age 3 through 1st grade. (Parents are welcome to accompany their child.) After the opening song at Mass, children who wish to participate are given a blessing and depart with a trained catechist to the parish hall. They are taught the way they learn best: through talking, cutting and folding, listening, finger plays, songs, games, rhymes and a simple craft. Children rejoin their family after the homily. Encourage your children to come and check it out; all children including visitors are welcome.

Pastoral Care

Ways to Remember Loved Ones
Light a candle in your loved ones memory.
Start a memorial trust or a schol- arship fund for your loved one.
Plant a tree as a memorial. Place a plaque next to the tree with a message on it.
Share your memories with family and friends and get them to share theirs too. You may learn things that you didn’t know about your loved one.
Donate money to a charity, or donate your time to help those less fortunate than you.
Listen to your loved ones favorite music.
Get a tattoo.

STEWARDSHIP
TRUSTING GOD WITH
OUR FINANCES

Time for a Change?
With the start of a new fiscal year this weekend, now might be a good time to change the way you offer your parish support. St. James offers a way that is easier, safer, and more reliable. Today so many people don’t carry cash, or even a checkbook, and the price of stamps keeps rising. We bank and pay our bills online, so why not fit your
Sacrificial Giving in with all your other financial obligations. Our website offers you an attractive way to use a credit card or debit card. You can easily contribute to a special collection from a cell phone, pay for a Mass you requested, or pay your child’s Faith Formation fee. Weekly envelopes may still be your choice, but this could save you time and stress. Go to www.stjamesandstjoseph.org and navigate to St. James homepage.

If you want to feel rich,
Just count all the things you have
That money can’t buy.

Social Concerns Meeting
Monday, April 4, :00pm

Low Gluten Hosts
Low gluten hosts (.01% gluten) are available at St. James for those with gluten sensitivity or Celiac disease. A single pyx (host container) is used to separate them from regular hosts. Please call the parish office or talk to Fr. Santy to make arrangements if you require these hosts.

Blessed are those who can give without remembering, and take without forgetting.

About Our Advertisers
The advertisers listed on the back pages of our bulletin pay for the printing of each week’s bulletin. Thanks to their support we are able to keep you up to date. When you patronize them, they feel more confident in supporting us. Give them a call first, and mention that you saw their ad in the church bulletin.

Prayerful Support
At one time or another, everyone could use a little extra care, whether grieving a loved one, suffering from an illness, preparing for surgery, or in need of extra support in a difficult time. We want you to remember that we are your parish family, and that if you need anything - prayers, a listening ear, or other support, that you can always contact us. Father Santy or our office staff can be reached by calling (920) 863-2585. Or, visit our website, www.stjamesand stjoseph.org to communicate a prayer need. If you are aware of a person, a family, or a situation where we can offer support, please let us know.

Grocery Bags Needed
The Denmark Community Cupboard is in need of brown paper bags. You can drop them off at All Saints office or at the pantry collection shelves in the entrance of St. James Church and they will be taken there before the next delivery date.

Baptismal Godparents
When selecting godparents please note: “Above all, sponsors are to provide an example of a faithful Catholic life.” Canon 873 states that there is to be only one male sponsor or one female sponsor, or one of each. If two people are chosen to be godparents, they must not be of the same sex. This is fitting since sponsors are often called godparents who, like parents, are by their very nature male and female.”

Reporting
Sexual Abuse
If you know of an
incident of sexual abuse of a person who is now under the age of 18 by a priest, deacon, employee or volunteer, please immediately call the civil authorities and then the diocese.
If the person was abused as a minor but is now an adult, call the Office of Safe Environment at 920-272-8174, or toll free at 1-877-270-8184.
