| walking with purpose |
Walking with Purpose is back for Fall! Please consider joining us for Reclaiming Friendship, a 6 week study that explores God's plan for friendship, which was meant to be a foretaste of Heaven. What a wonderful way to dive back into relationships as we come back from COVID. Like all Walking with Purpose studies, Reclaiming Friendship will help us explore the link between everyday challenges and the solutions given to us through the teachings of Jesus and the Catholic Church through personal study and small group discussions.
Sessions will be held between October 4 - November 15. Watch the church bulletin for preregistration details in September. The cost of the workbook will be $20. Contact Cathy Kraus (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) in the parish office for more information.

| 2017 LOSH Living Rosary |
What is a Living Rosary? The devotion appears to have begun in France in 1826, when Venerable Pauline-Marie Jaricot formed the Living Rosary Association. She was inspired to pull together groups of 15 persons who would each be responsible for praying one decade of the Rosary each day, so that the full 15-decade Rosary would be prayed each day by the group.
Over a century later, during the Nazi occupation of Poland, a young layman named Jan Tyranowski formed prayer groups of 15 men in his parish, representing the 15 mysteries of the Rosary. One of the group’s leaders was the young Karol Wojtyla—the young St. John Paul II (who would later introduce the Luminous Mysteries in his pontificate). Tyranowski met with the men in prayer and guided them in spiritual direction. He called it the Living Rosary prayer group. Wojtyla, the future pope, remained devoted to the Living Rosary prayer group and brought this model into his own parishes after he became a priest.
The Spiritual Life Committee of Ladies of Sacred Heart recently promoted a Women's Retreat. Ten ladies of our parish were able to attend at Saint Scholastica Monastery of Benedictine Sisters in Fort Smith, Arkansas. The theme of the retreat was "The Circle of Life: Journey through the Seasons." It was a combination of retreat talks, prayer and/or time for contemplation, silence during parts of the retreat, fellowship and Sunday morning Mass in the beautiful chapel at the Monastery.The weekend retreat was led by speakers Joyce Rupp, an award-winning author and a much sought after retreat speaker and Sister Macrina Wiederkehr, who is a Benedictine Sister at Saint Scholastica, a well-known author and retreat director.
