Parish News
- The sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick will once again be celebrated at each of this weekend’s liturgies. To help with our preparations, please write the word “anointed” in the “My Comment” box when you sign up on Sign-Up Genius.
- There are two attachments with this Flocknote. One is the Worship Aid for our Weekend Masses and the other is a new activities page for our children entitled Catholic Kids Bulletin.
- FYI: The Catholic Kids’ Bulletin. Due to COVID-19 and the safety requirements in place for social distancing, we haven’t been able to celebrate the Liturgy of the Word for Children at the 9:00 AM Mass on Sundays. To help our families with younger children participate more fully in the Mass while at home, we invite you to download and print this bulletin attachment at home, and then help them work through the various bulletin activities sometime on Sunday.
- If you would like to have a picture of a loved one who has died included in our Remembrance display, please bring the pictures unframed and 5” x 7” or smaller to the parish office by Friday, October 30. See the bulletin for more details.
*due to copyright permission limitations, the Children's bulletin may not be posted on our website. If you would like to recieve a copy of the weekly Children's bulletin via email, contact the parish office.
Grace Indeed Is Amazing!
What is something you saw or heard this week that made you smile
or say “ah” or “a-ha?”
What is something new you might have done?
Maybe it’s the colors of fall!
Day Is Done!
In this weekend’s Gospel, when asked which is the greatest commandment, Jesus offers a two-part answer. The first part of the answer is based on the Shema, a prayer said by our Jewish brothers and sisters both in the morning when they awaken and at the end of the day before they sleep. This is the first prayer that Jewish mothers teach their babies. It also prayed as one keeps vigil at the bedside of a loved one. This prayer is found in Deuteronomy 6:4-6. “Hear, O Israel! The Lord is our God, the Lord alone! Therefore, you shall love the Lord, your God, with your whole heart, and with your whole being, and with your whole strength. Take to heart these words which I command you today.”
The second part of the answer is taken from Leviticus 19:18. “Take no revenge and cherish no grudge against your own people. You shall love your neighbor as yourself. I am the Lord.”
As another day comes to an end,
may each of us have a restful and peaceful night!
Fr. Chuck.
