This is the weekend! As you read this, the sauce is simmering … the homemade
meatballs are warming … the wine is chilling. Everything is ready for the Serafini’s Spaghetti
Dinner! If you are reading this Saturday after Mass, there is still time to call everyone you
know and invite them! If you are reading this on Sunday, you can easily come across the parking lot and come on in! We will be raffling off the gift baskets starting at 5:30, and the 2014
Corvette Stingray at about 6:00 … still, plenty of time to buy tickets! It is going to be a great
day, with great food, and great friends!
Tuesday, October 28th, is the Feast of St. Jude the Apostle. We are going to move the regular 6:30 p.m.
Mass to 7:00, and have it in Church. Please allow me to invite you all to simply, come together for a Mass of
Thanksgiving, as we honor our patron, thanking St. Jude for his intercession for almost 60 years, helping us to
build up this wonderful community of family faith. Since Monday, we have been emailing different prayers to
honor the Novena of St. Jude, in the hopes that you and your family would gather for a few brief moments to
honor our patron. May we conclude these days of prayer with the Word of God and the powerful gift of the
Eucharist this Tuesday evening!
What a glorious way to end the Synod on the Family in Rome last week! Pope Francis beatified Pope
Paul VI, who died on the Feast of the Transfiguration (August 6th) in 1978. Pope Paul had the enormous task
of continuing the work of the Second Vatican Council, which began under the papacy of the very popular Saint
Pope John XXIII. He was the one who initiated the whole idea of papal visits to different countries, having a
special interest in Africa, where he visited so many of the nations there. In fact, he was the first Pope to visit
the continent. One of his first acts as the new Holy Father was to canonize several martyrs from Uganda. I
know that he was heavily criticized for it, but one of his greatest encyclicals was Humae Vitae, “Of Human
Life”, in 1968. Pope Paul VI was one of the very first world leaders to address the world population problem
of the late 1960’s, teaching his belief in “Responsible Parenthood”: teaching parents to become more responsible when bringing children into an already-crowded world … teaching them to know when to have children,
and when not to. The Holy Father felt that it was not wise to bring children into this world if the couple was
not properly prepared personally, spiritually, socially, etc., to provide a proper home and life that their child
truly deserves. It was a radical change from previous Church teachings. With the recent canonizations of Sts.
Pope John XXIII and John Paul II, it was easy to forget about the true importance of the deeply holy man who
served in between them. It must have been a powerful celebration at St. Peter’s last week; especially, with
Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI in attendance.
Guys, I cannot express enough how great of a day is coming up next Saturday, November 1st: the
“22:32 Men’s Conference” at the Warner Theater! There are going to be some powerful speakers geared just
for guys … Deacon Harold Burke-Silvers, a passionate speaker and evangelist, author, radio guest and CEO
of Servant Enterprises … Jesse Romero, a former boxer and LA County Sheriff’s Deputy with a master’s degree in Theology and a great message … along, with our own Fr. Larry Richards, Pastor of St. Joseph/Bread
of Life. It is going to be a great day just like last year, and just like the Women’s Conference a few weeks ago.
I am telling you that it is NOT to be missed, guys! It will make it even better if you bring your son or your Dad
with you.
Next Saturday is the Feast of All Saints. But, since it falls on a Saturday, it is still a holy day, but not a
day of obligation. However, we will still be offering a Mass here for the Feast at 9:00 a.m. The Saturday
Mass of anticipation will be for Sunday, the Feast of All Soul’s. At the noon Mass next Sunday, we will be, especially, inviting the family members of the people who died in the last year, and were buried from St. Jude’s
since last All Soul’s. There will be a reception to follow in the Founders Room. It will be a very emotional and
powerful liturgy, to be sure … as a reminder to these families that their loved ones are now in the Glory o God.
Our hope is to bring them some peace.
Msgr. Kreigel is having a few of “The Fathers” over for dinner this week. And, I never pass up on a
free meal from Henry! I am always amazed by all the different ways he serves franks and beans!
Have a great week! I sure hope one of you win the Corvette! See you at the dinner!
Fr. D.
