PASTOR APPRECIATION: Again this year, in keeping with Pastor Appreciation, we will be honoring Father Deno with a reception at the Parish Center next Sunday, October 30, after 10:00 AM Mass. All are encouraged and invited to attend and share in the fellowship.
NEW PRAYERS, SAME MASS : Beginning with the First Sunday of Advent November 27,2011 Catholics in this country will worship using the new English translation of the Roman Missal, Third Edition. To understand the new prayers take home a copy of the prayer card and booklet at the entrance to the church
WORLD MISSION SUNDAY: We are called to this Eucharistic celebration — along with Catholics in every parish, chapel and church throughout the world — to fulfill the call we first heard at Baptism, the call to be missionaries, to share our faith.On World Mission Sunday, we are invited to “celebrate the hope that saves” through prayer and participation in the Eucharist, and by giving generously to the collection today for the Society for the Propagation of the Faith. Let us pray especially at this Mass for all who long to hear the hope-filled, saving message of Jesus, and for the priests, religious and lay catechists in mission countries worldwide who offer them that “Good News.”
ALL SOULS ENVELOPES: In the Catholic Church the month of November is dedicated to the memory of members of our family, our parish and our community who have died. A way of remembering these persons is through sharing in a Mass for them. Envelopes for All Souls are available at the entrance to the church. With your offering indicate the names in whose memory you wish us to pray.
MARRIAGE TIP: Each generation of a family is challenged to leave the world a more beautiful and beneficial place than it inherited. Find more Marriage Rx at www.foryourmarriage.org.
WE VALUE THE GIFT OF LIFE THIRTY-SIX WEEKS AFTER CONCEPTION
Hello Spiritual Friends, I am 36 weeks along in my life – just two more weeks until I am born. I weigh 6 3/4˙ pounds and I am about 21 inches long. I am gaining about an ounce a day. My lungs are developing surfactant now, which helps the alveoli expand. I am using my lungs to practice breathing and get the hiccups frequently. My mom can feel these little jumps! My mom’s doctor is encouraging her to rest as much as possible now so she is ready for me. Thus says the Lord God: See, I will lift up my hand to the nations, and raise my signal to the peoples; They shall bring your sons in their arms and your daughters shall be carried on their shoulders. (Isaiah 49:22)
