Music Ministry Notes:
All Saints...All Souls Which is which?
On All Saints Day (November 1), the Church honors all the
holy men and women who edified the Church by their blood, by
their labors, or by their virtue. In other words, they lived a good
Christian life to the best of their ability. All Saints Day is usually
a Holy Day of Obligation. We are accustomed to celebrating All
Saints Day as Catholics by attending Mass. When All Saint’s
Day falls on a Saturday or a Monday, the obligation to attend
Mass is abrogated.
All Soul’s Day (November 2), is usually NOT a Holy Day of
obligation unless it falls on a Sunday. It is a day in which we
pray for our beloved dead who have not yet obtained their reward in heaven, attending Mass is a tradition and part of that
daily prayer. It is our Catholic belief that these souls are helped
by the intercession of saints in heaven and by the prayers of the
faithful on earth. To pray for the dead is an act of charity and
piety. That is why, at every liturgy, we pray for the dead as part
of the Prayers of the Faithful (Intercessions), now called the
Universal Prayer. By showing this mercy to the suﬀering souls
not yet in heaven, we are promised to be shown mercy at the
time of our departure from this world.
This year, November 2nd, All Soul’s Day, falls on a Sunday
and will be celebrated at all the weekend liturgies. The parish
will remember those parishioners who celebrated a Resurrection Liturgy here this past year at 5:00pm mass in by reading
their names aloud during the liturgy.

A Stewardship Moment
Twenty-Ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time
In today’s Gospel we hear proclaimed a profound
teaching by Jesus on stewardship. What belongs to
Caesar? What belongs to God? Christian stewards
recognize that everything they have belongs to God.
God created them, and God has claims on every
part of their existence. They also realize that the sovereign is an institution whose nature and purpose is
to promote the common good and protect the welfare of its citizenry. As long as it accomplishes this
mission while treating every single person with deep
respect, justice and compassion, it merits the steward’s support and cooperation. Christian stewards
know what belongs to the Lord, and they are better
citizens when they live their lives according to His
Gospel.
CYO HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL

I hope you are enjoying the beauty of
the fall colors all around us. Last year
I did miss the fall. In Rome most everything that changed either turned
yellow or brown, no oranges, reds or
purples like we are blessed with here
in Northeast Ohio.
This weekend the women of the parish are making the Renewal. Please
keep the team, par cipants and all
those who help with their meals in
your prayers. It is a wonderful opportunity for spiritual growth.
Please keep in your prayers about
100 of our young people who will be
confirmed this Friday night at 7:00
p.m. by Bishop Roger. There will be a
recep on in the basement a er Mass
to visit with fellow confirmandi and
the bishop.
I received a phone call the other day
from a gentleman who cares for his
handicapped daughter who called to
alert me to the fact that some of the
handicapped parking spaces in the
parking lot are occupied by cars without handicapped tags. I would ask
everyone’s coopera on in reserving
those spots for those who really need
them during the weekend liturgies.
And a reminder about keeping the
far south por on of the parking lot
with yellow striping open during the
week as an aisle so that people can
access the Church and rectory. On
the weekends please fill all marked
spaces, white and yellow all the way
to the curb.
Catholics across the
country will be celebrating Priesthood Sunday
on October 26, 2014. It
is a day set aside to celebrate the importance of
the gift of priesthood in the life of the Church. It is a time
for us to reflect on the ministry that our priests share with
us when we gather at the Table of the Lord — when we call
in our times of need. Consider sharing a personal note or
card of thanks.
Together we pray that many of our young people will
be inspired by the ministry and witness of our priests. May
their hearts be open to hearing and responding to God’s
call in their lives. More information on priesthood can be
found at clevelandcatholicpriesthood.com.
Have a blessed week!
Fr. Tony
Traveling Statue of the Blessed Mother:
The sign up sheet for hosting the
Blessed Mother is available in the East
Vestibule. Sign up quickly to secure your
time.
The Knights of Columbus sponsor the Tony
Imburgia Scholarship to help families of St.
Francis Xavier School. In 2014, seven $750
scholarships were awarded, in 2013, five at
$750 each and in 2012, five at $500 each.
This can only happen as a direct result of our
Knight's eﬀorts in remembrance of Tony
Imburgia and his and our common desire to support our
kids and their families at SFX Day school.
