A Marianist Moment
SAINTS /FEASTS OF THE WEEK
The 75th Anniversary Gift
Oct 22: This is the first time
we celebrate the sainthood
of Saint John Paul II, Pope
d. 2005 ~ “Open wide the
doors to Christ,” urged John
Paul II during the homily at
the Mass when he was
installed as pope in 1978.
Born Karol Jozef Wojtyla in Wadowice, Poland, he lost his mother,
father and older brother before his 21st birthday. World War II cut his
education career short. While working in a quarry and a chemical
factory, he enrolled in an “underground” seminary in Kraków, was
ordained in 1946, and immediately sent to Rome where he earned a
doctorate in theology. Shortly after ordination, he served as a chaplain
at the university, then as an assistant pastor in a rural parish. Later he
earned a doctorate in philosophy and began teaching that subject at
Poland’s University of Lublin.
Communist officials allowed him to be appointed auxiliary bishop of
Kraków in 1958, considering him a relatively harmless intellectual. He
attended all four sessions of Vatican II and contributed especially to
its Pastoral Cons tu on on the Church in the Modern World. Appointed as Archbishop of Kraków (1964), he was named a cardinal in 1967.
Elected pope in October 1978, he took the name of his short-lived,
immediate predecessor. Pope John Paul II was the first non-Italian
pope in 455 years. In time, he made pastoral visits to 124 countries.
He promoted ecumenical and interfaith initiatives, especially the
1986 Day of Prayer for World Peace in Assisi. He visited Rome’s
Main Synagogue and the Western Wall in Jerusalem; he also established diplomatic relations between the Holy See and Israel. He improved Catholic-Muslim relations and in 2001 visited a mosque in
Damascus, Syria.
The Great Jubilee of the Year 2000, a key event in John Paul’s ministry, was marked by special celebrations in Rome and elsewhere for
Catholics and other Christians. Relations with the Orthodox Churches
improved considerably during his ministry as pope.
“Christ is the center of the universe and of human history” was the
opening line of his 1979 encyclical, Redeemer of the Human Race. In
1995, he described himself to the United Nations General Assembly as
“a witness to hope.”
His 1979 visit to Poland encouraged the growth of the Solidarity
movement there and the collapse of communism in central and eastern
Europe 10 years later. He began World Youth Day and traveled to
several countries for those celebrations. He wanted to visit China and
the Soviet Union but the governments in those countries prevented it.
One of the most well-remembered photos of his pontificate was his
one-on-one conversation in 1983 with Mehmet Ali Agca, who had
attempted to assassinate him two years earlier.
In his 27 years of papal ministry, John Paul II wrote 14 encyclicals
and five books, canonized 482 saints and beatified 1,338 people.
Pope Benedict XVI beatified John Paul II in 2011, and Pope Francis
canonized him in 2014.
A framed color print of our church
is offered to each Pillar Family.
If you have not yet picked up
your copy, you may do so
during regular office hours.
May the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit be glorified in all
places through the Immaculate Virgin Mary. Amen.

In his 1999 Le er to the Elderly, Pope John Paul II wrote:
“Grant, O Lord of life,...when the moment of our definitive ‘passage’
comes, that we may face it with serenity, without regret for what we
shall leave behind. For in meeting you, after having sought you for so
long, we shall find once more every authentic good which we have
known here on earth, in the company of all those who have gone before us marked with the sign of faith and hope....Amen.”

STEWARDSHIP
Stewardship Reflection
October 19, 2014
“Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s and
to God the things that are God’s.” - Matthew 22:21
Everything we are and everything we have belongs to God.
We aren’t “owners” of anything, we are merely “stewards” of
the gifts God has given each of us. All God is asking is that we
give back a portion of what He gave us. This is the essence of
Stewardship. God should be our first priority in everything.
All else comes second.

Marriage Encounter Enrichment Evening
Marriage Encounter
Hello to all couples, priests & religious who have ever made a
Worldwide Marriage Encounter weekend. A 2014 Enrichment
will be presented just for you on Saturday, November 8, at
Blessed Teresa of Calcutta, Fr. Rosy Rosebrough’s parish.
The event begins with Mass at 4:30 pm, and closes prayer at
9:00 pm; simple pot luck and presentation as well (bring a meat
dish or appetizer to share). RSVP by November 1 to Sam & Liz
Cohen at 636.256.9055 or by email:

Fall brings the start of many things – a new school year,
a season full of colors and crisper air. A Marriage Encounter
weekend is also a start to new things for your relationship –
a time to renew, rejoice in the beauty of your marriage and
rekindle communication. A Marriage Encounter weekend is
scheduled for Oct 24-26 and Dec 5-7.
More information is available at www.stl-wwme.org or by
phone at 314.469.7317. A great decision for a new season of
married life.
