“Did You Know” - The Joyful Mysteries, the Sorrowful Mysteries, and
the Glorious Mysteries were decided upon and finalized in the sixteenth
century. In 2002, Pope John Paul II introduced the Luminous Mysteries,
also known as the Mysteries of Light.
Everyone is invited to attend the Morning of Reflection for Parish
Ministries on Saturday, November 8. This special event will feature
Bishop Emeritus Donald Trautman speaking about the Joy of the Gospel
(Gaudium Evangelii). The Joy of the Gospel is a letter from Pope
Francis to the bishops, clergy, consecrated persons and the lay faithful on
the proclamation of the Gospel in today’s world. The day will begin with
Morning Prayer at 8:30 AM and will conclude at noon. Bishop Trautman
will give two presentations, each being followed with time for small
group sharing and a question and answer period. Refreshments will be
available throughout the morning. Many who attended last year's event
requested that Bishop Trautman return for another session.
Although the Eucharistic Ministers, the readers, the musicians,
the ushers and greeters, the altar servers and those who take care of the
environment are the obvious parish ministers, everyone who serves in
any way has an important ministry. The assembly, of which we are all a
part, is the most important ministry of all. Everyone, please come and
share in this time for prayer and learning more about our faith. Please
plan to attend the Morning of Reflection for an interesting and inspiring
look at how the Joy of the Gospel impacts our lives and the life of the
modern Church.
The 55+ Club meets in the hall this Tuesday at 12:30 PM. Everyone is
invited to this monthly luncheon. Just bring a dish to share with everyone
- come enjoy lunch and fellowship together. Hope to see you there!
