October 12, 2014 Twenty-Eighth Sunday In 1986, he moved to Hoehne Colorado, the town where his wife’s parents had an extra house on the farm, and began working for Holy Trinity, Our Lady of Mount Carmel, and St. Joseph’s Parishes as a musician and catechist for confirmation. That job morphed into being the musician and liturgist for the cluster of 10 churches over the 12 years he spent in Trinidad. His gifts and education were also noticed by Charlotte Kilpatrick, who was a musician at the parish and the Dean of the Arts and Sciences Department at Trinidad State Junior College. It was from there (and 5 years after his divorce and annulment) that Fr. Don received his ultimate call to enter the seminary. At Sacred Heart Seminary in Hales Corners, Wisconsin, Fr. Malin received his M. Div. philosophy and theology. Father Malin is no stranger to Colorado, having served previously in the parishes of Grand Junction, Montrose, Rocky Ford and most recently in Pagosa Springs at our parish’s namesake Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish. He was born in Los Angeles, Calif., of Leonard and Diane Malin in 1956. Attended Hollywood High School, and then moved to Yucca Valley where he graduated from High School. Fr. Malin then attended Loyola Marymount University obtaining a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Music. He continued his education at San Jose State University, receiving a Masters Degree in Music specializing in Gregorian Chant. During that time, Fr. Malin wed Janet Miller, finished the degree in 1982, and then moved to Colorado to begin doctoral studies in Medieval Music at C. U. Boulder. Though he attended the same Music school where Bishop Berg received one of his college degrees, he didn’t know him. He left that school only a year later “when the money ran out” and began working for the Church at Our Lady of Fatima in Lakewood. Many of our parishioners will remember that when Fr. Malin was at Saint Mary in Montrose, he began a band called “The Holy Rollers” and gave a concert here in 2005 to raise funds for the deanery’s parish’s pilgrims to World Youth Day. In May of 2014, while pastor at IHM in Pagosa Springs, Fr. Don suffered a heart attack and has been recovering since. Because of this, he has had to change his diet and lifestyle and “slow way down.” In September, He was informed that he would be coming to Immaculate Heart of Mary Church in Grand Junction. We welcome Fr. Don Malin to our parish, and remember him, all of our priests, Bishop Stephen, and all bishops, and Pope Francis in our prayers! Lord Our God, in order to govern your people, you willed to unite yourself to the ministry of priests. Grant them the grace of accepting your holy will so that in their ministry and in their life they may seek only your glory. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you an the Holy Sprit, one God, forever and ever.

Twenty-Eighth Sunday World Mission Sunday World Mission Sunday, is a day set aside for Catholics worldwide to recommit themselves to the Church's missionary activity through prayer and sacrifice. In 2014, World Mission Sunday is celebrated on October 19. Every year the needs of the Catholic Church in the Missions grow - as new dioceses are formed, as new seminaries are opened, as areas devastated by war or natural disaster are rebuilt, and as other areas, long suppressed, are opening up to hear the message of Christ and His Church. Offerings from Catholics in the United States, on World Mission Sunday and throughout the year, are combined with offerings to the Propagation of the Faith worldwide. Mission dioceses - about 1,100 at this time - receive regular annual assistance from the funds collected. In addition, these mission dioceses submit requests to the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples for assistance, among other needs, for catechetical programs, seminaries, the work of Religious Communities, for communication and transportation needs, and for the building of chapels, churches, orphanages and schools. The world's national directors of the Propagation of the Faith vote on these requests, matching the funds available with the greatest needs. These funds are then distributed, in their entirety, to mission dioceses throughout the world. Please pray for those who serve in the missions, those who receive assistance and for the salvation of all people. “EPIC” A JOURNEY THROUGH CHURCH HISTORY A DVD series by Steve Weidenkopf Protesters & Defenders I Protesters & Defenders II Tuesday, October 14 at 9:15 to 11:15am, Thursday, October 16 at 6:00 pm to 8:00pm ATTENTION: Wednesday October 15th at Noon is the deadline to make any necessary changes to the new November / December Ministry Schedule.
