Mission Intention for October
That Sunday may be lived as the day when Christians gather to celebrate the resurrection of the Lord by participating in the Eucharist.
OUR CATHOLIC SCHOOLS -- PARTNERS IN MISSION: The Catholic Schools of the diocese are embarking on an active campaign to increase enrolment and to help people understand the unique value of Catholic schools.

PRAYER FOR OUR RELIGION TEACHERS
Loving God, from the beginning you have raised up among us holy men and women to guide us and teach us along your way of truth. Again today, you have called forth from this community of faith men and women willing and able to give witness to your love and the truth. We ask that you strengthen them and give them the courage they need to be catechists. Open our hearts so that, through them, we may better know and follow your life of love. Amen.

EUCHARISTIC ADORATION: “O all ye holy angels, who, by your adoration in our churches, make up for the little love which your God and our Saviour receives from men, obtain for us the grace to comprehend a little the love of Jesus Christ in the Most Holy Sacrament.” (St. Margaret Mary). Eucharistic Adoration is held throughout the year every Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from 6 am to 9 pm at St. John’s Church Adoration Chapel, downstairs. Everyone is invited to spend some quiet time with Jesus anytime during these hours.
MARRIAGE TIP: When you and your spouse disagree about something try changing places - figuratively. Take your spouse's position to see how it feels from another point of view. You don't have to agree, but it helps your spouse to know you understand. Find more Marriage Rx at www.foryourmarriage.org
