Arnaldo M. Sánchez, OSM - Director OSM SECULAR ORDER—638-3938 Twenty-Ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time World Mission Sunday – Fr. Paul Gins, O.S.M. In today’s Gospel reading from Matthew 22:15, 17-21, the Pharisees ask questions of Jesus to test him. “Is it lawful to pay the census tax…? If he answers yes, he can be condemned as disobedient to God’s Law, a collaborator with a hateful occupying power. If he answers no, then he has violated the laws of the Emperor. Jesus refuses to draw a sharp line between religious observance and political engagement. Instead, without taking sides, he obliges the Pharisees to do their own thinking. “Repay to God what belongs to God”. © LTP The upcoming election will require an informed conscience. Carefully read each candidate’s position on issues and make a Gospel choice. Media ads seldom present the total picture. Pope Frances wrote “World Mission Sunday is a privileged moment in which the faithful of various continents engage in prayer and concrete gestures of solidarity of the young Churches in mission lands.” Today the Archdiocese of St. Louis takes up the annual collection for the Society for the Propagation of the Faith and its support of 1,150 young mission dioceses. I thank you for whatever support that you were able to give in the envelope included in your packet. Additional envelopes, which can be placed in next week’s collection, are in the entryway. The thrust of this year’s program was to assist the growth of the Church in Mongolia whose needs are representative of the poor in the world’s missions. By reaching out today, you helped them and other faith communities build their Church. Building the Domestic Church: “The Family Fully Alive” is an initiative of the Knights of Columbus that started this month and continues for twelve months. There is a Psalm of the Month that can be used every Sunday at your family prayer time. October’s is Psalm 105: O give thanks to the Lord, call on his name, Make known his deeds among the peoples! Sing to him, sing praises to him, Tell of all his wonderful works! Glory in his holy name; Let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice! October 19, 2014 Seek his presence continually! Remember the wonderful works that he has done, His miracles, and the judgments he uttered, O offspring of Abraham his servant, Sons of Jacob, His chosen ones! He is the Lord our God; His judgments are in all the earth. He is mindful of his covenant forever of the word that he commanded, for a thousand generations, The covenant that he made with Abraham, His sworn promise to Isaac, Which he confirmed to Jacob as a statute, To Israel as an everlasting covenant, Saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan As your portion for an inheritance.” It’s not too early to mark the next event in our four part series of educational outreach. The Alzheimer Society of St. Louis will give a presentation in our Church at 7pm on Monday December 1st. Invite family members, neighbors, caregivers, etc. to attend. This is for the parish and neighborhood. We are all touched in some way by this dreaded disease. Will this be in our future? Come and have questions answered. Copies of the State of the Parish Report are in the sacristy. A word of thanks goes to our communications committee and (PAC) the Pastors Advisory Committee for their assistance in preparing this annual report. Recent bulletins have included the results of the Parish August 23rd Survey. Over 20 parishioners volunteered to assist to work through some of the questions that were raised. A meeting will be called to take advantage of this interest. Thank you . Thanks to those who planned and worked the October 18th Oktoberfest. (Those at the 4:30 Mass – come on over.) It is great to have monthly gatherings such as this. Do you have an idea for November? The recent Trash Bag Fundraiser brought in over $1,550 for the parish. This was a former school and HCA event that they decided they wouldn’t have this year. Thank you to Melanie Fechter and the volunteers who coordinated and picked up this opportunity. Seek the Lord and his strength, We welcome all who come to worship with us.

It is called Electronic Giving or Direct Debiting. Just contact the Business Office and speak with Gail. She will get a form to you for completion and your account can be directly debited for the designated amount of your choice. Another option is to contact your bank and have a check automatically mailed to SHF at whatever time you designate. Most banks will do this for no charge.

Bob and Sunday with Annunciation Parish, spent a holy hour in adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, and many took the opportunity to receive the sacrament of Reconciliation. Teens spent time engaging scripture, enjoying recreation, preparing and serving their own meals, and took time to reflect on their relationship with God.
