WELCOME TO ST. DAVID’S PARISH th October 19 , 2014 29th Sunday in Ordinary Time – A Reflection What do we owe God and our neighbour? Scripture tells us to give to everyone whatever is their due and to “owe no one anything, except to love one another.” In today’s Gospel, the Pharisees try to get Jesus to incriminate himself by choosing between loyalty to God or Caesar. He tells His questioners that if they use Caesar’s money, then they have to pay for it. But they must also pay what belongs to God, who takes care of our needs. Jesus’ answer addresses a much more important issue: our relationship with God. As children of God, we belong to Him. WORLD MISSION SUNDAY This weekend, October 18 & 19, we will take up the annual collection for World Mission Sunday. Please be as generous as you can in supporting the mission of the Church to evangelize all people. There are special envelopes at the entrance of the church for this weekend’s special second collection. Thank you!!! Bottle Drive The Knights of Columbus have organized a bottle drive in support of the Ontario Special Olympics. Please save your beer, wine and liquor bottles and drop them off at the church on the weekends of Oct. 18 & 19 and Oct. 25 & 26. (If needed, the knights can pick them up at your home.)

DAVID’S Ventinovesima Domenica –A<<Gesù Cristo è il Signore>>: questo grido della fede primitiva protesterà fino all’ultimo giorno contro la pretesa dei cesari di disporre di un potere assoluto e divino. Dobbiamo imparare a riconoscere anche oggi gli <<ipocriti>>, che si nascondono dietro alle loro ideologie per asservire totalmente l’uomo, fin nella sua realtà più intima di cui deve rendere conto esclusivamente a Dio. Giornata Missionaria Mondiale Questa domenica, 18 & 19 ottobre, la Chiesa Universale celebra la Giornata Missionaria Mondiale. Per dare appoggio ai nostri missionari cattolici sparsi nel mondo, ci sarà una seconda colletta speciale a tutte le Messe. Troverete buste di offerte all’entrata della chiesa. Grazie. Raccolta di Bottiglie Conservate le vostre bottiglie di liquore, vino e birra e portatele alla chiesa questa domenica, 19 ottobre, e domenica prossima, 25 ottobre per la raccolta di bottiglie organizzata dai nostri Cavalieri di Colombo per dare appoggio ai Special Olympics per i giovani andicapati. Grazie!!! Oktoberfest I Cavalieri di Colombo della nostra parrocchia vi invitano a l’annuale festa nella sala della chiesa, sabato, 25 ottobre alle 6:30 pm, con musica, cena, divertimento e premi. I biglietti saranno in vendita dopo le Messe domenicali per $40.00. Non mancate! Venite a Cantare!!! Il coro italiano che canta ogni domenica alla Messa delle 10:30 am invita nuovi membri a partecipare nella corale. Non bisogna cantare come Enrico Caruso o Maria Callas!!! Venite a cantare le lodi del Signore con il nostro bel coro italiano. ************************************************** th Baptisms- October 19 , 2014 Sofia Arianna Catalano Matteo Gian-Vincenzo De Francesco Emma Gasparro Bradley David Hawley Joshua Peter Hawley Brooklyn Victoria Hyatt Sienna Rose Mirabelli Anthony Remo Orsini Sofia Anne Pellegrini Sebastian Stipani Sofia Vetro Saturday – Sabato Oct 18 5:30 p.m. †Alexandra Foto Sunday– Domenica Oct 19 7:30 a.m. †Biagio Corrado 9:00 a.m. †Francesca & Antonio Capizzano †Maria & Roberto Belmonte 10:30 p.m †Addolorata Gaglia †Franco, Valverdina, Maria, Mike & Giulia Longo †Anna Stamos †Mary Torchia †Salvatore, Felicia & Famiglia †Rosa Romana †Carmelo De Luca †Antonio Igizii †Angelo Savoia (3 Yrs) †Rosa Fazari †Giuseppe Servello †Aniello, Domenica & Freda Capone †Adriana Scariot †Leopoldo Gallo e Rachela Folino † Santina Iello Rosa Maria Diaz (Living) 12:00 p.m. Pro Populo 1:00 p.m. Baptisms 5:30 p.m. Angela, Maria & Family, Alejandra & Family members, Rosario & Family members (Living) Monday – Lunedì Oct 20 7:30 a.m. †Girolamo Crimi 7:30 p.m. Mem.Mass:†Elena Iacobelli (1 Mo) Tuesday – Martedì Oct 21 7:30 a.m. †Loretto & Maria Petricca 7:30 p.m. Mem.Mass:†Natalina Fazari (1 Mo) Wednesday – Mercoledì Oct 22 7:30 a.m. †All Deceased of the Facchini Family 8:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m. Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament 7:30 p.m. †Oliverio Gileppo Thursday - Giovedì Oct 23 7:30 a.m. †All Deceased of the Cimmini Family 6:30 p.m. Mem.Mass:†Mario Magnelli (Died in Italy) 7:30 p.m. Mem.Mass:†Nicola Mattacchione (1 Mo) Friday – Venerdì Oct 24 7:30 a.m. †Darlene D’Aversa th 6:00 p.m. 50 Wedd.Anniv.
