One of the most important works of God that we do all of the time is supporting the sick and suffering with our prayers. All studies show that people who pray and receive prayer from others and are supported by the Sacraments, bear their sufferings better, recover more quickly and are open to God’s healing grace.
Will you be like the friends of the paralyzed man in the Gospel who lowered their friend through the roof right in front of Jesus, insisting that he be healed? They were so determined that their friend would encounter Jesus and experience his healing grace that they were ready to go to extreme measures on his behalf. Let’s be equally insistent and supportive.
Here are the names of our parishioners, family and friends who have asked for prayer:
Michael LeBlanc, Nancy Finkle, Natalie Swiatek, Hannah Doucette, Rosemary Chierici, Max Cassignol, Mirielle Cassignol, Michael Walsh, Margo Holoway, Grace Felix, Dan Coughlin, Marion Hunt, Anne Shortell, Laurie Mavety, Nicola Thomas, Marvin Mahoney, Fernando Guerreiro, Lawson White, Erica Thomas, Theresa Mason, Dianne Ryan, Jack Rizzo, Bibin John, Mary Temple, Bob Marcotte, Sharon Murrant, Dorothy Drake, Dianne Whalen, Rebecca Waite, Kevin Rivers, Basia Wielomaska, Boyd Touchie, Laurie Goos, Louise Bridge, Annette Hardy, Abigail Mondeville, Neenah Chowdhury, Cheryl Renaud, Emilia, Alyssia & Socorro Jovellanos, Michelle Kelly, Nancy Enright Barr, Robert Bunton, Jan & Danuta Jagaciak, Dolly Scott, Bonnie Young, Andronico Codina, Trent Lamont, Donna Belch, Gerry Derouin, Brenda Coleman, Peggy LeBlancq, Carol Parks, Douglas Green, Sherry Hodgkisson, Joyce Nussey, Mary Forwell, Sharon Teresa, Marylynn O'Brien, Gayatri Ramkission, Ann Dominique, Shirley Bugg, Dan Smith, Cindy Trottier, Len Halpin, Hubert Brown, Roberta Steele, Sarah Babcock, Edna MacDonald, Brenda Webb, Joanne Callaghan, John Macaro, Janet Collins, Joel Mahoney, Ryatt Drew, Janice Mastersm and Doreen Moher.

TO KNOW CHRIST AND THE POWER OF HIS RESURRECTION
Phillipians 3:10
The Archdiocese of Kingston have provided a pamphlet that helps us to understand and contemplate the meaning behind the beautiful six icons that make up the Icon that was presented to each parish at the 200th Anniversary Celebrations. The pamphlets can be found at the entrance of the church.
VOUNTEERS NEEDED
In honour of the 200th Anniversary of the Archdiocese of Kingston, the completion of the renovations, and the number of new families attending the parish, Fr. Whalen would like to put together a Pictorial Church Directory. The program is absolutely free of charge and every family that participates will receive a free copy of the directory. We would need about 3-5 volunteers to schedule appointments and to greet people on the days of photography. IPC Canada offers online bookings, which makes scheduling appointments much easier for volunteers. We have booked the photos to begin on September 14 through to the 26th. If you would be interested in helping with this project, please contact the parish office at StMichael@archkingston.ca.
