Get your flu shot at Blessed Sacrament this weekend and save 20 cents per gallon on gas!! Our Flu Shot Clinic is for anyone age 3 and over, with Hi Dose vaccines for those ages 65 and older. Sponsored by Hy-Vee Pharmacy - shots will be offered to the parishioners of Blessed Sacrament after all Masses on Saturday, September 19 and Sunday, September 20. Protect yourself - get a flu shot!

Today, we join together in prayerful remembrance of the victims of that tragic day. We ask God to surround their loved ones with His peace and healing, to bless the first responders whose courage inspired a nation, and to keep alive the spirit of compassion and unity that emerged in the face of loss. May we always remember on this Patriot Day.

Today the Church celebrates the birth of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Her nativity reminds us of God's loving plan of salvation and the hope that entered the world through her. May we follow Mary's example of faith and trust each day. Happy Birthday, Blessed Mother!

As we celebrate Labor Day, let us take a moment to recognize the dignity of every worker and the many ways their efforts help families, communities, and our church flourish. May we always value the work of every person, seek justice for all laborers, and give thanks for the opportunity to serve God through our daily work.

Dear God,

Give us the courage and strength to answer when You call! Give us clarity and trust to hear Your soft invitations. Give us the love to respond, and the bravery to take the steps that will bring us ever closer to You. Amen.
