SPECIAL COLLECTION FOR CHRISTIANS AND OTHER MINORITIES IN THE MIDDLE EAST As an expression of our solidarity with Christians and other minorities suffering in the face of growing violence and persecution in the Middle East, the parishes and missions across the Diocese of Knoxville will be taking up a special collection to support the immediate humanitarian and pastoral needs of the people in these regions. The second collection will be taken September Our prayers and our gifts will provide help to those who are so much in need. By combining our resources, this important second collection represents our community of faith at work in the world.

Thank you for your support. AMENDMENT 1 Amendment 1 is on the November 4, 2014, ballot in the state of Tennessee as a legislatively-referred constitutional amendment. The measure, upon voter approval, would insert constitutional language empowering the legislature to enact, amend or repeal state statutes regarding abortion, including for pregnancies resulting from rape or incest or when necessary to protect the mother's life. Human life must be respected and protected absolutely from the moment of conception. From the first moment of his existence, a human being must be recognized as having the rights of a person - among which is the inviolable right of every innocent being to life. Jeremiah 1:5 says Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you. All women of St. Thomas are invited to hear Stacy Dunn, Executive Director of the Knoxville chapter of Tennessee Right to Life, speak on Wednesday, September 15th at 9 a.m., immediately following morning mass.

DIOCESAN CAPITAL CAMPAIGN As you can see from the enclosed letter from Bishop Stika, the diocese is moving forward with a capital campaign that will benefit all of our parishes and the diocese. It will be comprised of a pilot wave and three subsequent waves as well as a major gift component. The pilot wave, which will include about 5-6 parishes will begin this September. I wanted to inform you that St. Thomas plans to be participating in the last phase of the campaign which means that our fundraising for the campaign will not begin until early However, in the meantime you may be contacted directly by the diocese to contribute to the major gift portion of the campaign. Over the coming months, we will begin to plan a project for our campaign as well as form committees to assist us with the campaign process. We will continue to inform you about our campaign planning phase through our website and the bulletin. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns. In Christ, Fr.

4 NEW MASS COMING Our parish will begin using a new Mass setting this fall called The Mass of Glory. It is found in our hymnal on page 58. You should begin to start hearing parts of this Mass sung as a prelude to Mass each week by our choirs and cantors. In September you will begin hearing the Gloria sung as a prelude. We will incorporate the Gospel Acclamation and the Amen into our current Mass setting on the very first weekend in September. Then, each week we will add one new Mass part until we have incorporated all of them into our Mass setting. So, as we gradually add Mass parts, we will gradually move into this new Mass setting. By October we should be good to go with the entire Mass! However, have no fear! We will not abandon The Heritage Mass! We plan on returning to the Heritage Mass at Christmastime, as well as the Octave of Easter. We are planning on using Mass of Glory only during Ordinary Time. So, give a listen over the next several weeks. And then join us as we introduce this new Mass setting!
