OCTOBER 26, 2014
In Our Parish
November 1st All Saints Day … All Saints Day is normally a
Holy Day of Obligation. However, when it falls on a Saturday
or a Monday, the obligation to attend Mass is abrogated or
waived. This means that Catholics in the United States are not
required to attend Mass. Therefore, no Masses have been
scheduled for Friday evening, October 31st or Saturday
morning, November 1st!
PARISH NEWSLETTER EDITOR NEEDED … We wish
to thank Megan Berger for the time and talent she has
volunteered over many years in gathering and editing
information for our quarterly Parish Newsletter. Megan is
moving on to another ministry after our November Newsletter
is published. We ask for God’s blessings on Megan and her
family in her future ministry endeavors. This means we will
require someone who has the time and talent to replace Megan
in this role. If you are interested in becoming editor for the
Parish Newsletter, please contact Deacon Charlie Miller at the
rectory at [email protected]., by phone at
866-2859, or by arranging for a time to meet regarding the
responsibilities of this ministry. Thank you.
SPX BASKETBALL… Winter registration is now open for
anyone in grades 4-8 who attend St. Pius X School or St. Pius
X Religious Education Classes and are interested in playing
basketball this year. Registrations can be found at SPXAA.com.
Evaluations/Try-ins will begin the first week in November. All
paperwork MUST be completed before participating and can be
found on-line at SPXAA.com. If you have any questions

"CALLING ALL STRONG MEN IN THE PARISH TO
HELP JOSEPH'S COAT!” Our furniture ministry is in need
of help to work on the 2nd Saturday of each month from 8 AM11 AM picking up furniture donations in the provided trucks
and possibly delivering furniture to people in need who cannot
make arrangements to pick up the items. There are only a
handful of men currently in our group and we need 5-6 men
each Saturday so the need to grow our group is important. If you
have interest in joining our team or helping on a few Saturdays
a
year,
please
e-mail,
Anthony
Mampieri
at
[email protected] or you can call him at 614-554-1536.

acceptable but not mandatory. If you have any questions, please

THROUGH THE MASS
4-Part Video Series
Begins Monday, October 27, 7:00 pm

never before, leading you to a richer, more fruitful worship
experience.
The study will be held weekly in the PAC Room, beginning
Monday, October 27, at 7:00 pm. For more information, contact
Leah Kelly at 866-2859. All are welcome.

corner. Join other parishioners for a weekend of faith and
fellowship December 5-7 at St. Therese Retreat Center. “Man's
Journey of Faith: Walking with Christ to Greater Wholeness”
will be the retreat theme. Men often find their own unique
challenges of faith. This retreat will explore some of the
struggles men have in finding meaning and faith in their day to
day lives. The retreat will look at some spiritual struggles of the
great men in the Bible as a way to offer encouragement for our
own faith walks. Karl Ruttan is the retreat Director. He has
served as an Episcopal priest for over thirty five years in
congregations in Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Africa.
He recently retired from parish ministry to pursue his passion
for spiritual direction, formation, and retreat leadership. He
received his doctorate in Spiritual Formation from Duquesne
University. He has a long time interest in men's spirituality.
Cost of the retreat is $110.00 and includes 4 meals and all
materials. Commuter cost is $50.00. Registration deadline is
December 1st. Contact Leah Kelly to register at 866-2859.

TWENTY-NINTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
OCTOBER 26, 2014
LIVES OF THE SAINTS
October 25
St. Antônio de Sant’Anna Galvão
(1739-1822)
God’s plan in a person’s life often takes unexpected turns which become life-giving through cooperation with God’s
grace. Born in Guarantingueta near São Paulo (Brazil), Antônio attended the Jesuit seminary in Belem but later
decided to become a Franciscan friar. Invested in 1760, he made final profession the following year and was
ordained in 1762.
In São Paulo, he served as preacher, confessor and porter. Within a few years he was appointed confessor to the
Recollects of St. Teresa, a group of nuns in that city. He and Sister Helena Maria of the Holy Spirit founded a new
community of sisters under the patronage of Our Lady of the Conception of Divine Providence. Sister Helena
Maria’s premature death the next year left Father Antônio responsible for the new congregation, especially for
building a convent and church adequate for their growing numbers.
He served as novice master for the friars in Macacu and as guardian of St. Francis Friary in São Paulo. He founded
St. Clare Friary in Sorocaba. With the permission of his provincial and the bishop, he spent his last days at the
Recolhimento de Nossa Senhora da Luz, the convent of the sisters’ congregation he had helped establish.
He was beatified in Rome on October 25, 1998, and canonized in 2007.
