Parents must complete the preparation program (offered every other month). Please contact the church office at least two months prior to your anticipated date for Baptism. Marriage: This sacrament provides an opportunity for a couple to stand as a sign of God’s love in the community. To this end, a period of preparation is important and necessary. Contact the church office at least six months prior to your proposed marriage date to begin this process. Anointing of the Sick: If you are preparing for surgery or hospitalization, this sacrament can be celebrated with you on any weekend at the church. In an emergency, contact the church so we can pray with you at home or in the hospital. Mission Statement With the Blessed Virgin Mary, the first disciple of Jesus Christ, as our example and patron, the mission of Queen of the Apostles Catholic Church is to proclaim and share the Gospel entrusted to us. We celebrate our oneness with the Risen Christ, with each other and the entire Church, through the sacraments, especially the Holy Eucharist. We accept the direction given us by the Second Vatican Council. We are committed to this mission by our worship, education, fellowship, and outreach to the needy. Our Weekly Tithe: Collections 10-12-2014: $13,299.98 Thank you for your support of the parish! Last week, because of your generosity in the offertory, we were able to send a tithe of $665.00 to Family Promise.

I am writing this on Monday afternoon, October 13. We have just completed a very successful BBQ Supper, selling 711 meals (at a profit of five dollars per meal). I am overwhelmed by the success of this event and so grateful to Gary, and all those who volunteered their time for set up, service and clean up and all those who helped organize this event. I also want to mention our Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts who were invaluable in making the delivery of meals in bad weather last Saturday such a smooth reality. Thank you to all. And, if that were not enough, I have just returned to the office from the beginning of our first annual Queen's Classic Golf Tournament at Pine Island Country Club. 19 foursomes are currently playing to make this another successful fund raising opportunity for the parish. I am grateful to the committee that organized and did all the foot work to gain sponsorships and otherwise fund this first, great event. In the bulletin you will see the names of all our sponsors and I hope, if you are able, you will support them if you have a need for their services. I also want to thank the Hay Clinic and Dr. Jerry Gardner for its overall sponsorship of the tournament. Your generosity to us is a blessing! These two very successful fund raisers will assist our building program, especially as we prepare to provide furnishings and other necessary elements to our overall plan. Welcome the opportunity this weekend to do some early Christmas shopping and purchase olive wood products from Christian families in Bethlehem. To do so is to also support the livelihood of Palestinian Christians who, in the current conflicts in the Holy Land, continue to find their employment and the security of their family life severely compromised. Ministry Moments: Food Baskets Christmas dinner can be a special time for families to gather, and yet, some families struggle with this tradition we might take for granted. Due to the generous donations of turkeys, hams, canned food, potatoes, sugar, flour, and baked goods, our parish has been able to assist families in the local community with boxes of foods. BI-LO is also a strong supporter in this endeavor. Names are provided by the BCO, SOCKS, and parishioners who are aware of families in need. Each year, over 100 boxes of food are given away. If you know of a family in need, or would like to help in other ways, please contact Heather Hart at 704-842-4059. I also have to thank our "tech team" who have taped, edited and shaped the DVD presentations we will use for our small group meetings beginning this next week. Father Chris and I have developed the materials and this will give me a chance to reach a larger number of parish members to reflect on Advent themes (yes, before Advent -- so you will be ready to develop them further when I preach on these themes during the Advent season!). I hope you will consider joining a small group. Check the flyer in the bulletin and mark your calendars for "My People: A Purpose, A Sponsored by the Homebound Ministers of Queen of the Apostles Church Promise, A Treasure and A Heritage." Quilt Raffle A beautiful queen size quilt, crafted by women of the homebound ministry will be raffled on Sunday December 7 at the Christmas Cantata. Tickets will be available following the masses on the weekends of November 1-2, November 15-16, and December 6-7. - Father Frank Tickets are $5.00 each or 6 for $25.00. Proceeds to benefit the new church building fund. Lastly, let me remind you of the Monday evening Rosary each Monday in October at 7:15 PM. We are praying for peace in our hearts, our community and in our world. Join us if you can in the church for the remainder of the month! Be blessed this week.

Treasures from Our Tradition All Christians in both East and West embraced the care of the sick as essential to church life. In the West, the importance of the visit of the priest is stressed, while in the East, the sick person is brought to the church for a full Liturgy of the Word. Some, such as the Armenians, even call it the “Ritual of the Lamp,” since the oil is poured out of the lamp by which the Word is read. This may be why Eastern Christians sometimes anoint the sick with this oil, since the trip to church might kill them. Our tradition in the West also unfolded in monasteries, where it was possible for infirm monks to be attended with a full and beautifully consoling liturgy. In 950 the monks of St. Alban’s Abbey in Mainz produced a ceremonial book that was instantly a pastoral hit everywhere. There were two lengthy rituals for the sick, one an extended vigil, and the other a liturgy of anointing that included Communion under both species. While this ritual was a house formula for monks, it is easy to see how monks who had the care of parishes desired to serve their parishioners in a similar way. The first form included the chanting of penitential psalms, and the second form required a confession beforehand. Both forms included a laying on of hands, which everyone understood as being an essential part of penance. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Todos estamos llamados a la salvación. Las palabras que dice el Señor, después de haber resucitado, las dice con autoridad. Porque no solo recibió la vida inmortal, sino que también fue constituido Rey y Señor del universo con un poder que no tiene límites, lo abarca todo y lo ejerce en el cielo y en la tierra. Este poder lo ha recibido de su Padre Dios. Todo ser humano alcanzará la salvación solo si lo reconoce como su Señor. Jesús estando en la posición plena de este poder universal, instituye la misión: Vayan, pues, y enseñen a todas las naciones. Siendo el Señor de todos los hombres, envía a los discípulos a todos los hombres. Aunque físicamente no lo verán ya más, El no los abandonará; al contrario, estará continuamente con ellos, con su Iglesia: Sepan que yo estaré con ustedes todos los días, hasta el fin del mundo. Yo estoy con ustedes, me quedo con ustedes, comparto su historia, les llenaré su vida con mi presencia. Cada acción de nuestra vida como cristianos siempre está protegida por el Espíritu Santo. Por eso Jesús nos invita a realizar una misión y es la de dar a conocer el Evangelio a todos los hombres, pero con fe, esperanza y amor. Esa misión comenzó el día de nuestro Bautismo, es decir el día de la vida de la Gracia. Quién es el verdadero discípulo de Jesús? Aquel que vive la vida de gracia y la transmite a los demás y además la defiende con su vida, con su testimonio y que no pone condiciones, sino más bien se deja llevar por las mociones del Espíritu Santo. Hermanos, atendamos la invitación que hoy Jesús nos hace, ser discípulos de Jesús, es decir llevar el mensaje a nuestros hermanos. No condicionemos nuestro trabajo en la Iglesia o el de la vida espiritual, más bien dediquemos más y más a esta misión, porque todas las acciones humanas aunque sean buenas, sino están fortalecidas por nuestro apostolado desde el Evangelio, pronto se acaban, es muy triste terminar nuestra vida sin cooperar con Jesús en llevar el mensaje de Dios a los hermanos, comenzando con nuestra propia familia. Que Dios los bendiga. P. José Antonio Juya V. Reserve la fecha…Domingo, Octubre 26 de 2:00 a 5:00pm en los terrenos de la iglesia.
