Being sent on a mission is a consequence of being disciples.” Living Stewardship: We are grateful this week for all stewards in our parish who re-prioritize their giving in these challenging times and the faith to keep the mission of Christ first! Stewardship of Collections: Our thanks and gratitude for your sacrificial giving each week. ........

Trinity Regional School 1025 5th Avenue East Northport 631-261-5130 COME AND PREVIEW WHAT IS AVAILABLE IN 2015 FROM THE PASTOR PASTOR’S DESK: On Thursday, October 23rd, Bishop Nelson Perez will be at Saint Hugh to administer the Sacrament of Confirmation to 80 boys and girls. These young people have been preparing hard for this most special day for the last two years in our Confirmation Program. In addition to weekly classes during the school year, the students have had to fulfill several other assignments to ready themselves for living full Christian lives. First, each year they have had to perform service hours at home, in school or at the parish. Some of those hours had to reflect one or more of the Spiritual and Corporal Works of Mercy (Remember those?) The purpose of this project was to teach the children the meaning of the words, “By this shall all know that you are disciples, that you have love for one another.” In addition, the students had to write reflections on the readings and homilies from Masses during the year. This was to teach them the importance of going to Church and participating on the mass to learn what Jesus calls us to do and how we are to live in the world. Their preparation included writing a personal letter to me telling me why they wanted to receive the sacrament. (Yes. I read every one!) The students were also required to reflect on the importance of the Gifts and Fruits of the Holy Spirit that they will receive. These last few weeks before Confirmation have been filled with presentations on the challenges of the modern world, personal preparation to receive the Spirit and an interview with a staff member. As you can see, the girls and boys have worked hard to prepare for this great day in many ways. We are certainly proud of them. During the Confirmation celebration, I will present them to the Bishop and attest to their readiness for the Sacrament. As the pastor, I will be speaking in your name. Please take some time this week to pray in a special way for these young people. As Catholics in the world today, they will face many challenges, just as you do. They will need the strength of the Holy Spirit and thee support of their Church – Saint Hugh. That support begins now with your prays for them. If you did not take a specific name over the last two weeks, that’s OK. Pray for them all! (That’s a lot of prayers!) These youngsters are the future of our world and our church. They deserve the very best we can give them. *************** Sunday, November 2nd is All Souls Day, a day set aside to remember our loved ones who have died. The 10:00 Mass will be a special Mass to remember those parishioners who have died this year. We will also remember members of our families who left us this year. All are welcome to attend. Because the Scriptures remind us that it is good to pray for the dead, the parish will also begin a special novena of Masses on that day for those who are enrolled. You may enroll your loved ones by placing their names on the envelope you received and placing it in the basket. Extra envelopes are available at the doors. Fr.
