Twenty-Eighth Sunday of the Year – October 12, 2014
THIS WEEK we will have weekday Mass Monday through Saturday.
The Catholic Daughters of the Americas will offer a Spaghetti Supper and
Silent Auction at St Mary’s Catholic Church this Friday, October 17, 2014
from 5-7pm. Adults: $8.00 Children 6-10 $5.00
For about the next 5 - 6 weeks, the Knights of Columbus will be collecting
for the NC WOUNDED WARRIOR FUND. This fund pays to
send soldiers from NC, who are wounded and overseas in hospitals, home
for Christmas to be with their families. If a soldier is unable to travel, we
pay to fly the family to be with the soldier. The Knights will be distributing
collection cups after Mass for you to take home and fill with your loose
change during the week. When it is full, bring it back and we'll empty it for
you. If you choose not to take a cup home, we certainly welcome one-time
donations. Any questions, call Don Pierce, 788-0357.
An adult education workshop will be offered at St. John's in Waynesville
tomorrow, Monday, Oct. 13, from 6:00 until approximately 8:00pm. The
presentation is entitled, "The Role of Music in the Liturgy," and is
intended not only for parish music directors and choir members (though it
should of course be of great interest to them), but for anyone who wishes to
learn more about the way music plays a role in our liturgical worship and
helps to create an atmosphere of prayer. We will discuss what the Church
tells us about music during the Mass as well as point to helpful liturgical
resources.

all by the attention and love given to the person, whose life is always sacred and
inviolable.
