Perrell Stewardship in Action: That as generous stewards, in the giving of ourselves, may we become the means by which God can answer every need, we pray to the Lord… Stewardship Reflection: In today’s second reading, St. Paul thanks the Philippians for being willing to share in his hardships and promises that God, in turn, will fully supply all their needs. Our God truly cannot be outdone in generosity!

Trinity Regional School 1025 5th Avenue East Northport 631-261-5130 COME AND PREVIEW WHAT IS AVAILABLE IN 2015 FROM THE PASTOR PASTOR’S DESK: I received an email this week that I thought you should see: THANK YOU! The Life Center of Long Island sincerely thanks St. Hugh of Lincoln Parish for their recent donation. Your generosity raised $2,866! May God bless you for your support of life! Well done, People of Saint Hugh. As always your great generosity shines for the love of God. I thought it quite fortunate that this note came in October which is Right to Life Month throughout the nation. It serves as a reminder of the need to persevere in our efforts to promote life issues all the time. The work of preserving and protecting life can be exhausting and sometimes very frustrating. Sometimes we can feel like we are fighting a losing battle. The journey seems uphill and the victories few. But when those victories come, and they do come, what a wonderful feeling comes to those who have participated in the mission of the Lord and his Church. Let me encourage us all to continue this important work through prayer, sacrifice and action. Pray for the babies and their mothers who face this horrible decision. Sacrifice for the work of those who are in the forefront of the mission to proclaim the value of each life. Give to those causes which truly reflect pour values. Finally, Take action! Write to your senators and congress representatives, your state senators and assembly members, the president and our governor of your interest in this issue. Be strong and unbending in your support for life issues. Who knows, this may be the year they finally listen to people of good will. Fr.

Adult Spiritual Formation ST HUGH’S MINISTRY OF PRAYER We have a special powerhouse of spiritual energy at St. Hugh: our ministers of prayer. This ministry of service is designed for homebound parishioners and others who are no longer able to participate actively in a parish ministry due to age, infirmity or other limitations. The first of each month, participants receive, by mail a list of prayer petitions for our world, our Church and our parish. The ministers make a commitment to pray for these intentions at their convenience, in the privacy of their own home. Please spread the word about the Ministry of Prayer! To be a part of this ministry, call the rectory 427-0638.

Muy estimados en Cristo una vez mas les saludo y deseo que la gracia de Dios les este bendiciendo grandemente. EL reclamo de Jesús a sus apóstoles en el Getsemaní, fue justo la expresión con la cual inicio esta nota para ustedes. Y hoy quiero escribirles esta letras para comunicarles que Dios mediante tendremos una Misa y Hora Santa, todos los primeros viernes de Mes, iniciaremos el próximo primer viernes de noviembre. Sera una gran oportunidad para estar con el amado y acompañarlo al menos una vez al mes por una hora. Esto incrementara la devoción de los primeros viernes como muchos tienen o traemos de nuestros países, mostrar nuestra confianza al Sagrado corazón de Jesús, y a la vez mostrar e incrementar nuestra fe y amor a la Santa Eucaristía, razón de toda devoción y amor a la Iglesia. SERA A LAS 7 DE LA TARDE CADA PRIMER VIERNES DE MES. Dependiendo de su respuesta esto llegara a ser algo fijo en la comunidad hispana. De igual manera les invitamos, si por alguna razón no pudieran venir a esta hora, también tendremos la exposición en la mañana de ese mismo día, primer viernes de mes, a las 7 de la mañana. No olviden participar en las actividades que tendremos en todo este mes. Suyo en Cristo. Padre Gonzalo LifeSpiritual Adoption Day One - Developing Baby Right to At the moment the father's sperm & mother's egg unite, a new & unrepeatable human being comes into existence complete with his own unique set of DNA. Although he is only one cell, everything about this little person is already present: color of eyes, blood type, the height he will grow to be, color hair - everything. He will play a role in his family & his community - a role only he can play! Nothing is added after conception to make him a complete human being. He already exists; all he needs is nourishment, a safe, warm environment & most of all - love. His parents don't even know he exists yet. Pray for them to safely bring their baby to birth so he can fulfill the mission God has for him. SPIRITUAL ADOPTION PRAYER Dear Jesus, child of Mary, I love you & thank you for your unconditional love. I plead with you to save the life of the unborn child I have spiritually adopted & whose life is threatened by abortion. May this child be allowed to grow in wisdom, age & strength in Your presence & in the sight of all.
