Yet he felt a great void in his life. Now, speaking from his perspective as a reformed criminal, John shares the moment when he felt no remorse after almost killing a man and how the love of Christ gave him the courage to turn it all around. The Bible Timeline: The Story of Salvation
by Jeff Cavins, Tim Gray, & Sarah Christmyer This is the foundational study in The Great Adventure Bible Study Series that has helped hundreds of thousands of Catholics learn to read the Bible. The Bible Timeline is a fascinating study that takes participants on a journey through the entire Bible. They will go deep into each period of salvation history and discover the amazing story woven throughout all of Scripture. Using a unique color-coded system, they will learn the major people, places, and events of the Bible and see how they all come together to reveal the remarkable story of our faith. The Bible Timeline has been granted the Imprimatur.

by Steve Weidenkopf & Dr. Alan Schreck

His Excellency the Most Rev. Richard E. Pates has chosen Chariton as the location of this year's Rural Life Mass. An outdoor Mass will be held on August 26, 2012 at 10:30 A.M. just west of town on the north side of Highway 34 (next to Lakeview Golf & Country Club). This celebration has been an initiative of Bishop Pates to not only highlight the rural nature of the diocese but also the interconnectedness of the rural and urban communities. All other Masses at Sacred Heart in Chariton, St. Brendan in Leon and St. Francis will be canceled this weekend in order to help coordinate this event and encourage all to attend. The speaker for this year is Ron Rosmann. Please come out to support both the theme of the event as well as our appreciation for the Bishop's decision to honor us with this celebration.

SACRED HEART CHARITON

Tithes- $1,729 Fall Festival is Sunday, September 16. Be sure to mark your calendars. Since Linda and Marsha have retired from coordinating the dinner we need someone to step forward and help Teresa Lahart co-chair. Please give her a call 203-1236. There are posters to hang in businesses in the back of the church, please take some with you and distribute. Fall Festival Rummage Sale- You can bring your clean, usable, fall clothing, etc, to the church basement now. The front basement door will be open from 9:00 a.m.-7:00 p.m. After hours call 203-2529. No TVs, computers or electronics because they do not sell and it costs to dispose of them. There are sign up sheets at the back of the church for selling chances for the quilt at Hy-Vee for the next few weeks. Please sign up to help with this fundraiser. Our prayers and sympathy go to the family of Matthias Pisut III, nephew of Emery Pisut.

The epic story of the Catholic Church spans thousands of years. With an unlikely beginning in a remote outpost of the Roman empire, the Catholic Church now claims over a billion living members. The persecutions, martyrdoms, conquests, and triumphs all came together to shape Western civilization as we know it today. Our identity as Catholics means that we are the inheritors of the deeds of holy men and women who for 2,000 years have built a great civilization and spread the Gospel throughout the world. Church history is not just the recitation of popes, people, places, and events; it is a story of adventure, intrigue, rebellion, reform, and devotion. This story is, in fact, our story; this is our family. If we know our past, and how we fit into the story, we will be better prepared to face whatever may come in the future.

St. Patricks Georgetown Annual Gods Portion Weekend begins Saturday, September 1 with the Open Golf Tourney with a shotgun start at 10:00 a.m. at Albia Country Club. On Sunday, September 2, Mass will be at 10:00 a.m followed by a Country Homegrown Dinner from 11:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m. Other activities to follow. Please see sheet in the back of church for more information.
