Mission Statement
With the Blessed Virgin Mary, the first disciple of Jesus Christ, as our example and patron, the mission of Queen of the
Apostles Catholic Church is to proclaim and share the Gospel entrusted to us. We celebrate our oneness with the
Risen Christ, with each other and the entire Church, through the sacraments, especially the Holy Eucharist. We accept
the direction given us by the Second Vatican Council. We are committed to this mission by our worship, education,
fellowship, and outreach to the needy.
Our Weekly Tithe:

Thank you for your support of the parish!
Last week, because of your generosity in the
offertory, we were able to send a tithe of $525. 00
to Family Promise. This week we will use our tithe

shelter for Senior Citizens needing supervision and
support during the day.

From the Pastor’s Desk...
This weekend I am preaching an appeal for the Propagation of the Faith in
Greensburg, Pa. asking for financial support for the Circus and Traveling
Show Ministry. Pray for the folks of St Pius XI and Visitation parishes
there: that they will be open and generous. I am grateful to Father Hoover
and Father Mulligan for being here in Belmont!
With October's end we look to a variety of special opportunities in the
parish in November. The great Feast of Saints and Souls that we will
celebrate next weekend (November 1 which falls on a Saturday is
therefore not a day of obligation this year). Once more we invite you to
bring framed pictures of deceased loved ones and place them on the
shelves in front of the altar. You will see the other opportunities as we
enter November and remember our beloved deceased members on the
flyer that is in your bulletin.
Ministry Moments:
I am also grateful to those Hispanic members of the parish who once more

Reflexión
Queridos hermanos: Tú, Señor, eres mi refugio. El doble mandamiento.
Al final de su ministerio público, Jesús tuvo controversias en Jerusalén
con la jerarquía religiosa judía y con las autoridades civiles a propósito
de su autoridad; con el grupo de fariseos y los herodianos por lo del
tributo al César; con los saduceos, por la creencia en la resurrección de
los muertos. Finalmente, nadie se atrevió a interrogarlo, aunque
Celebración del Día de la determinaron entre todos ellos matarlo con el más cruel de los
suplicios, la muerte de cruz.
Hispanidad
La cuestión sobre el mandamiento más grande de la ley corresponde a
El Próximo sábado 1 de Noviembre la preocupación de encontrar un principio unificador de las varias
formulaciones de la voluntad de Dios. Sin embargo, Jesús fue claro en
tendremos nuestra celebración del
Día de la Hispanidad después de la definir el gran mandamiento: Amar a Dios sobre todas las cosas y al

tu lugar de origen. Esperamos que
pero no aceptamos a nuestro prójimo; ese es un error gravísimo.

Tenemos que hacer el esfuerzo de reconocer el amor de Dios en los

hermanos y en la medida que lo reconozcamos, comenzaremos a
celebración que nos recuerda de
sentirlo en nuestra propia vida. Ojalá reflexionemos en este mensaje
dónde venimos y nos permite
compartir con los demás miembros tan bello y no nos quedemos en discusiones superfluas que no nos
llevan a nada. 'Dejémonos amar por Dios para poder entender su amor
de nuestra comunidad nuestras
costumbres y tradiciones. Si deseas y su manera de vivir, para poder amar a nuestro prójimo con la misma
intensidad. Que Dios los bendiga y que María Santísima nos ayude a
colaborar trayendo un plato de
comida, te puedes comunicar con la seguir a Jesús con todas nuestras fuerzas.
