Are we le ng the cares of this world distract us from hearing, accep ng and living his Word? + For Joseph Dang Luong Ha by Tuyen Ha Sunday, October 12, 2014 9:30 a.m. · It is dangerous for people to put off the important with some vague idea of doing it ‘later’. When ‘later’ comes, they are never ready, for their lives have been shaped and organized without any room for it. We need to pay a en on to what is truly valuable in our lives - our family, friends, health, principles, meaning - and the source of all these things, Jesus Christ. Are ‘urgent’ concerns pu ng us in danger of being indiffer-ent to God’s call to the fullness of life? Mass Wednesday, October 15, 2014 (MTHS) 9:00 a.m. · Mass Saturday, October 18, 2014 5:00 p.m. · Mass Sunday, October 19, 2014 A Ques on: Is there something important that you have kept pu ng off un l ‘later’? Is it actually that important to you? If so, what are you doing today to be ready for it, or to help make it come about sooner rather than ‘later’ - or never? 9:30 a.m. · Mass Weekend Masses at St. Andrew Parish Saturday 5:00 p.m. Sunday 9:30 a.m. Weekday Mass at Mother Teresa High School (440 Longfields Dr) Wednesday at 9:00 a.m. (Oct 8,15 & 22) Weekday Masses at St. Monica Church: (2080 Merivale Rd) Monday 7:00 p.m. (9:00 am on holiday Mondays) Tuesday & Wednesday 7:00 p.m. Thanksgiving: Giving thanks for what we have is so important that we have even a civic holiday - a day for no other purpose than to stop, recognize and be grateful for our blessings. Some people -are very aware of the abun-dance, freedom and security we enjoy. They may not need a special day, but the rest of us do. We give thanks to God by sharing our abundance with the less fortunate; by gathering together with family and friends to celebrate what we have and are; by taking the me to relax and praise the goodness of God. Thursday 9:00 a.m. (Coffee following Mass) Friday 9:30 a.m. 1st Saturday of the month 9:00 a.m. Weekend Mass Schedule at St. Monica Church: Saturday 5:00 p.m. Open To God: As we give thanks, we grow closer to God, more aware of his love. Our faith will increase. And we will be more able to call on the Lord to help us remove from our lives anything that is a barrier to his loving presence. Sunday 9:00 a.m., 11:00 a.m. & 7:00 p.m. Please remember in your prayers… those who are sick at this me. For those who celebrate this weekend, may the love of Jesus Christ be your joy and confidence; for others, may it be your strength and consola on. Confirma on Parent Mee ngs: FOR OCTOBER Peace.

There were fun ice-breaker games by Mary Armstrong, to help meet new friends, a great roast beef dinner, door prizes by Felice Miranda and lots of fun. With raffles of donated prizes and an auction run by Peter Ruiter the tournament this year raised over $3500. This money will be used for charitable causes in our parish, thanks be to God. Many thanks go to all the folks on the golf committee: Siobhan, Deacon Ray, Mario, Mary, Courtney, Carter, Andrew at Manderley Golf, and all volunteers for their hard work and dedication.

Our Catholic faith teaches us to meet the needs of the suffering with: compassion; the Church’s prayer; and our assistance - to show the ailing their great worth, to assure them that they do not suffer alone and to remind them in their suffering that they reveal to us the face of Jesus Christ in a unique way. The measure of a society is found by how it cares for its most vulnerable members. Let us not fail our ailing brothers and sisters by legalizing euthanasia rather than ministering to their suffering. Please join together in prayer and fasting to ask God’s help in preventing the great assault on human life of euthanasia becoming legal in Canada.
