CCD NEWS……
CCD will begin on AUGUST 29 at 6:45 PM IN THE CHURCH and parents are encouraged to attend
as well! This night will be OH SO SPECIAL with a guest performer! ALSO, Sebastian D’Amico
will be speaking on Nov. 28; and we have SO MANY new and exciting events and activities
planned this year!

Our parish has purchased a new religious education series for the elementary grade levels. The new
series is titled, "Finding God" and it has an adaptive kit as part of the series. Pam Riordan, Consultant
for Children's Catechesis for the Archdiocese, has set the following date and time for training with the
religious education teachers of our parish: August 26, from 2:00 until 4:00 pm. Pam may invite other
teachers in our archdiocese to join us for this training session. We will meet in the Knight's Hall.

If you are a volunteer in ANY capacity, you are required to complete VIRTUS training prior to working with children. The
training makes participants aware of the signs of child abuse, the methods and means by which offenders commit abuse,
and five easy steps one can use to prevent abuse. We encourage all parishioners to attend this one time training session at
SACRED HEART PARISH HALL – Emporia – Thursday, August 23 (6:30-9:30 PM) OR Saturday, Sept. 8 (9:30 AM-12:30 PM).
Please preregister online at www.virtusonline.org. Light snacks will be provided.
 OUTREACH MINISTRY
Due to a few requests, we will be extending our Soles4Souls shoe collection for a few more weeks. Have you
ever bought Zappo’s shoes? They are the company that’s supplying free shipping labels for our boxes of shoes
going to Soles4Souls. We will try to run our shoe collection again later, so let Dorothy Blaufuss or one of the
Outreach committee know when you would like to see it again.

ALSO……Did you know that CCD collects aluminum cans even during the summer? They use the money for
various charities. Please include ONLY aluminum cans—not aluminum pie plates or foil. This is a different grade
of aluminum and must all be sorted out. THANKS! 
