The small Chapel will be reserved for Children’s Liturgy of the Word at the 9:00 a.m. and 10:40

CHILDREN”S LITURGY OF THE WORD
St. Brendan’s Youth Faith Formation is pleased to announce Children’s Liturgy of the Word
(CLOW) beginning August 7th at the 9:00 a.m. and 10:40 a.m. Sunday masses each week throughout the school year. CLOW invites children 4 1/2 years through 3rd grade (or higher if they have
not received their First Holy Communion) to worship and pray together. Just before the Liturgy of
the Word begins for the assembly, the children are invited to go with the weekly leaders from the
Church into the Chapel. During this special time, the volunteer leaders teach the children through
prayers, songs and readings. The children learn about the same Scripture readings as the rest of
the assembly. They are taught the main message of the readings and are encouraged to share that
message with their parents after Mass. No registration needed.
Volunteers are needed to teach the lessons each week, as well as to assist with the supervision of
the children. This is a great opportunity for adults and middle school/high school youth to help
these children learn the Word of the Lord. There will be an informational volunteer meeting on
Sunday, July 31st at 4:00 p.m. in the Social Hall. For more information please contact Barb
Giordano at 856-520-0248 or [email protected].
Prayer to Our Lady of Perpetual Help
O Mother of Perpetual Help, grant that I may ever invoke thy
most powerful name, which is the safeguard of the living and
the salvation of the dying. O Purest Mary, O Sweetest Mary,
let thy name henceforth be ever on my lips. Delay not, O
Blessed Lady, to help me whenever I call on thee, for, in all
my needs, in all my temptations, I shall never cease to call on
thee, ever repeating thy sacred name, Mary, Mary.

Blue Mass Honors Police, Firefighters,
and First Responders
Young and old stood side by side in prayer on July 14th at St. Brendan's
4th annual Blue Mass to honor the police, firefighters, and first responders of Forsyth County and throughout our country. Among the first to
enter the sanctuary was young Madelynn Roberts bearing a photo of
her uncle, Michael Joseph Roberts, a Tampa, FL, police corporal killed in
the line of duty in 2009. The music of a lone bagpiper, the Knights of
Columbus in solemn procession, and a heartfelt display of cards created
by the parish's children added to a night few will soon forget.
