We probably all know from our own personal experience of the delightful moments that take place when we gather with family and friends to celebrate and enjoy each other s company. Bonds of friendship are strengthened over meals whether they are simple or elegant. The Eucharist is the Church s atttempt to share in the banquet of the Lord. Not only does He prepare for us a feast fit for a king, but he also offers us His Son as nourishment. It is perhaps a good time ot examine our celebration of the Eucharist, to see if it reflects the ideal banquet of the nations on Mt. Zion that we read about in Isaiah. Does our Eucharist open its doors to all? As we celebrate the supper of the Lord, we try to express our unity with all of our sisters and brothers. Our sharing and unity will always fall short of the degree to which Jesus shares with us. Are we caught up in distinguishing rich from poor, black from white, acceptable from unacceptable? Only when we can sit at the table and share in honest fellowship with anyone and everyone, is the Eucharist what Jesus intended it to be. It appears we have a long way to go. October Devotions October is dedicated in a Catholic Church to Mary the Blessed Mother, and to praying the Rosary. Every Tuesday through Friday throughout the month we will have a Mass at 5:30 p.m. and directly after Mass we will have the Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament and will pray the Rosary. Please join us in prayers to the Blessed Mother. All Souls Day Remembrance Wypominki During the month of November, we remember in a special way our loved ones who have already finished their earthly journey and have entered the new life, but who are forever in our hearts. All Souls Day Remembrance Wypominki are one of the religious practices in which we commit to God s care our dear departed loved ones. The envelopes for All Souls Day Remembrance - Wypominki , are to be found in the pews and at the entrances to the Church. Please fill them out with the names of your loved ones, for which you would like to have the prayers said during the special mass, and return them with the Sunday collection or to the parish office. Please turn them in by Monday, October 27th. Altar Flowers and Vigil Lights There are many ways to remember our dear departed. We have Mass in their honor and we pray. Another way is to make a donation for the altar flowers in their memory to commemorate their anniversary, some special happening in their lives or just in remembrance or monthly vigil lights. At the same time we add a special beauty to the Eucharist. Please contact the Parish office (467-3068) if you would like to make a donation of altar flowers or monthly vigil lights.
