CCM: Bulletin for week of Sep 1

All work has a threefold moral significance. First, it is a principle way that people exercise the distinctive human capacity for self-expression and self-realization. Second, it is the ordinary way for human beings to fulfill their material needs. Finally, work enables people to contribute to the well-being of the larger community. Work is not only for one's self. It is for one's family, for the nation, and indeed for the benefit of the entire human family.  

~US Bishops, Economic Justice for All, 1986, #97

If you want to build a ship, don’t herd people together to collect wood, and don’t assign them to tasks and work—but rather, teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea.

~Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Happy Labor Day week! I hope you are enjoying the labor you are engaged in, and confident that you will birth good things!

~ Karen

EUCHARISTIC CONGRESS

Every fall, Catholics from around the diocese gather in Charlotte for a weekend of Catholic speakers, Catholic shopping, Adoration and mass with the bishop. On Friday night there’s a gathering of Catholic college students from across the diocese. We’ll have pizza, live music, a chance to meet some new people (and maybe the bishop!) and a procession to Adoration at St Peter’s. The college program begins after the keynote speaker, His Eminence, Edwin F. Cardinal O’Brien, Grandmaster of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre, speaking on “The Holy Eucharist: Making All Things New from the Upper Room to the New Jerusalem.” CCM will provide rides, but you must register on line. For registration, go to www.catholiconcampus.com/eucharistic-congress; to learn more about our musician for the evening, or to find a link to the whole congress, go to www.goeucharist.com/College-Night. You must register by next Tuesday, Sep 9!
