Saint John Paul II Area Faith Community Bulletin Pastor: Associate: Church of the Holy Family 700 Main Street West Silver Lake, MN 55381 320 • 327 • 2356 www.holyfamilysilverlake.org Fr. Anthony Stubeda Fr. Paul Schumacher Church of the Holy Trinity 110 Winsted Avenue West, PO Box 9 Winsted, MN 55395 320 • 485 • 2182 www.winstedholytrinity.org Thirtieth Sunday in Ordinary Time Priesthood Sunday October 26, 2014 Church of St. Pius X 1014 Knight Avenue North Glencoe, MN 55336 320 • 864 • 5162 www.stpiusxglencoe.org Holy Day of Opportunity Without looking at a calendar I could tell you that Halloween, All Saints Eve, is just around the corner. Almost every program on television involves ghosts, goblins, witches and villains, and the later evening programs trend towards horror and mayhem. Children’s conversations revolve around costumes and dressing up, and scary stories are making their yearly appearance among us. Trick or treating will soon begin and children will have more candy than their little bodies can tolerate. Our culture has taken the pre-Christian fear of the growing cold and darkness as omens of evil and the power of death and brightened it, polished it and turned it into a light-hearted celebration of spooks and jack-o-lanterns. For adolescents and adults it is a time to be frightened in the dark by scary movies and horror films. In the life of the Church it is a turning point in our contemplation of the meaning, mission and ministry of Jesus. We turn to look death in the face and see through its show of power to the conquering victory of Christ. We celebrate that God’s plan for us is an eternal celebration of his love in heaven. We need not fear death, because Christ has conquered it for us and invited us through death to new life. The twin feasts of All Saints Day and All Souls Day proclaim our hope and trust in Christ’s promise of salvation. We declare that we are a Communion of Saints, a fellowship of the friends of God and witnesses to hope. While Halloween offers fear in the shadows, we contemplate the bright light of salvation. While horror and terror are easy to find, we proclaim hope and courage. Our celebration of the saints joined in celebration in heaven and our fervent prayer that our beloved dead reach the banquet of the Lord are a consolation in a sometimes scary world. Because All Saints Day falls on a Saturday this year, it is not a holy day of obligation. I however invite you to see it as a holy day of opportunity. The All Saints Day Masses at each parish are an opportunity to be comforted, encouraged and consoled by the truth of our destiny. Take the opportunity to come and celebrate the promises of Christ and the truth of our salvation. Our weekend Masses will be the more solemn celebrations of All Souls Day. We will remember not the great lights of the saints, but the kitchen lights of parents, spouses, brothers, sisters and friends that shone in our lives. We will remember and pray for those people close to our hearts. We will ask the Lord to gather them to glory. In a special way at each of the Saturday evening Masses in our area faith community we will remember those who prayed with us last All Souls Day and who have passed through death with hope in Christ. We are not obligated under the threat of mortal sin to attend All Saints Day Mass this year, but I hope you will see it as a holy day of opportunity; an opportunity to be blessed, to be lifted up and to be filled with hope. See you at Mass on Saturday morning oh, cloud of faithful witnesses and friends of God. Fr.

Once again this year our parish plans to create a shrine to the saints in front of the altar for All Saints Day and the month of November. If you can help us by lending us your statues of saints for the month, please drop them off with Kelly Le Crone at the liturgy office at church. Your generous lending will help us create a fitting honor to the saints and heroes of our faith. MUSIC NEEDS: Each year our musicians need updates and supplements for their accompaniment books and our musicians and cantors need books with the Responsorial Psalms and Gospel Acclamations for the year. If you are interested in helping with these costs please talk to Kelly LeCrone, our AFC liturgist, or with Shirley Nowak in the parish office. These generous volunteers serve us well, and these necessary materials allow them to lead us in song and in praising the Lord. THE RE CONNECTION There have been some requests for an RE ghost story. With Halloween coming up, I guess this is as good a time as any. Is it true??? Yes, the kiddos will naturally giggle at this, but is it true? All I can say is that strange things have happened when the hallowed halls go dark after everyone has departed and yours truly is left to lock up…now trying to decide if it is to keep someone out…or to keep something in… Having just shut down the lights, the hallway was draped in silent shadows…springing to life with each streak of late October lightning. Haunting displays such as these drive even the most steel nerved among us to the recitation of ‘ol Psalm 23. So as the howling wind outside began to drive the rain mercilessly into the window panes much to the applause of the mighty thunder, a new noise curiously crept up close, and boy, was I praying that it was the Lord at my side with His rod and staff to give me courage…there to lead me to greener pastures and outta this spooky spectacle. But from all the accounts of Scripture that I have come across, our Blessed Lord was never really fond of giggling like a school boy while playing peek-aboo in the darkened doorways. Not being particularly interested at that point to see who was indeed beside me, I quickly quit that creepy corridor, again imploring the Almighty that it was goodness and love pursuing me, and not the first grade phantom which had so eerily entertained my very eyes and ears. Reaching my office, grabbing my books and keys in one frightened, fluid flow and, racing out to the parking lot, I dared not look back…not for fear of turning into the fabled pillar of salt, but rather a quivering mass of emasculated manhood. So, is it true, you ask again? Well, I like to think that the only ghost whose company we enjoy on any given Wednesday Night is the Holy Ghost. And like I said, the kiddos will giggle when they hear this…our very hallowed halls echo with it…even when no one is around! TURKEY CARDS: once again this year we will be collecting our partially filled Coborn’s Turkey Cards to help our Catholic Schools Week Dinner. If you are not using them, please turn in your partially filled cards at the parish office before December 1. If you are going to turn in a sales slip, please remember that we need the whole sales slip, not just the bottom part that indicates the number of stamps earned or they will not be redeemable.

Mass at St. Pius X will be at 8:00 a.m. Mass at Holy Trinity will be at 8:15 a.m. and Mass at Holy Family will be at 10:00 a.m. While this day is not a holy day of obligation you are invited to observe the feast with us at one of these Masses. All of our Sunday Masses will be celebrations of All Souls’ Day. At Saturday evening Masses we will have special memorials for all who have died since last All Souls’ Day.

Topics include prayer and petition, miracles, current events in the life of the Church, heaven and hell and a question and answer evening. Please make plans to join us. THE ARRIVAL OF FR. CORNELIUS AND OUR MASS SCHEDULE: Several people have asked if we would be changing our Mass schedule now that we have been blessed with the presence of Fr. Cornelius. At this point there are no plans to change our Mass schedule. We have a schedule that accommodates the needs of each parish, and that allows two priests to cover the Masses in case of illness or the need for one of our priests to be absent.
