YOUR GIFTS TO GOD AND PARISH
Our Mission: To reveal the loving, compassionate
presence of God to one another in the ordinariness of
our everyday lives through specific programs which:
1. Enable our senior parishioners to continue to live
safe, independent lives of high quality, in their own
homes, for as long as possible.
2. Enable any parishioner to maintain his/her accustomed quality of life during periods of high stress,
illness, family crisis, etc.
PROGRAMS AND HOW TO ACCESS THEM:
Call the program coordinator for the service that fits your
needs.
HELPING HANDS:
This program provides help with minor household
jobs such as: Changing air conditioner and furnace
filters; installing/changing batteries in smoke detectors; changing light bulbs; fixing leaking faucets;
weatherizing; trimming bushes; doing yard work;
cleaning gutters; washing a load or two of clothes,
dusting/vacuuming.
Coordinator: Charlie Wiswall Phone: 314-731-0933
MARTIN'S KITCHEN:
This program provides an occasional meal(s) during
times of extra individual/family stress, regardless of
the reason. During those times when you are weary
and long to just "sit at the feet of Jesus" like Mary in
the Gospel, and become refreshed, the volunteers
from St. Martin's will be your Martha and prepare a
warm meal to soothe you in body and spirit.
Coordinator: Barbara Krings
Phone: 314-731-1893

Dear Martins,
We are in the Beyond 50 moment, striving for a Vision 25, through Synergizing, Energizing and
Evangelizing of our community. These three approaches of building for the future are expressed
in many events, gatherings and profoundly in lively liturgical celebration, especially our weekend masses.
Our first Sunday 10.30 masses, two of them until this time, were a delight to witness a good
number of our PSR families joining us with our youth group. This is a great example of coming
together (synergizing) and celebrating (energizing). The RCIA program which is in the process
of being unfolded and the ongoing PSR program are very modest expression of evangelizing.
These need to be furthered strengthened. Along with these and other necessary strategies like
people, revenue and property management would play crucial role in the Vision 25. Our parish
prayer voices these many dimensions and in the weeks to come we will look into those many
facets of the parish prayer.
In this coming together, James Cecil and Paul Wiswall initiated and have organized a kickballcoming together of the parish neighborhood on October 10 between 7 and 9 PM in our grounds.
Please spread the word around.
Further there is a greater project on the making: our Parish Play in November 7 and 8 this year.
It is a dinner theater. The tickets are being sold for $15 for both the dinner and the play. This
would help to defray part the full cost of the dinner and part of the expenses for the play. Kindly
spread the word around.
But the overall framework that holds us and the Beyond 50 movement of Vision 25, is the very
name of Martin de Porres. November 3 is the feast of our Patron Saint. Since November 2 is the
solemnity of the All Souls and November 9 is the play weekend, we are intending to celebrate
the feast mass not on November 16 at the 10.30 AM mass. To enable all of us to come together
as one community and more participation, we are planning to have just one mass on November
16 at 10. 30 AM mass.
Finally as I writes this kindly ensure that negative energy and talk does not get a fertile ground
in our hearts and minds. Nothing is done in the parish out of one person’s likes or dislikes or
whims and fancies. Sometimes what we decide to do and what I do as pastor may not be according to our liking, but that does not mean we become “less church.” The church from the time of
Jesus was made of up not only different opinions but at times even opposing beliefs co-existed
and so were celebrated. And we are the Church here at Hazelwood!
Let us continue to celebrate being a Martins as Martins for the next years to come.
Peace and Grace.
Fr. RajPaul

RESPECT LIFE
The readings today speak
about the banquet to
which God-in the old and
new covenants-call his
people. The prophecy of
Isaiah tells us that God is
in the business of destroying death. "On this
mountain he will destroy
the veil that veils all people, the web that is woven over all nations; he will
destroy death forever." This is the same mountain on
which he will provide the choice foods and wines of
the banquet. God did not make death; rather he destroys it. He does so in Christ, for whom the wedding
banquet (the marriage of Christ the Bridegroom with
the Church his bride) is celebrated. To stand with
Christ is to stand with life, and to stand with life is to
stand against whatever destroys it. Nothing destroys
more life than abortion. Over 55 million babies in
our country alone have lost their lives to abortion. Oh
Lord, may we always proclaim and defend human
life as a gift from You and may we find joy in coming to the banquet. Amen!!!
CRAFTS
Thank you for all the swim noodles you have donated. We are also looking for OLD fanny
packs. These will be cut apart so the clips and
the webbing can be used for other craft projects.
Dear St. Martin family,
Do you have a Blessed Mother
stature that needs a little touch-up
paint? Or one that is unpainted,
that you would like to have painted? I would like to help. I enjoy
bringing honor to Our Mother
with this small service. I’m not
an expert, but I work carefully
and with prayer. There is no
charge or fee or donation of any
kind. It is a blessing for me to offer service to Our
Lady, it brings me peace and allows me to pray.
Mary loves me, and I love Mary. I also will pick up
and return as needed. God bless you, Sincerely, Earl
Arseneau (home) 731-3475 or (cell) 651-4195.
