Amen. Memorare Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help or sought thine intercession was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen. FOR ALL OUR DEARLY BELOVED DEPARTED The names of those who have recently passed from this life to the next will remain on the bulletin necrology for nine weeks. They will then be transferred to the permanent parish necrology, also known as the Book of the Dead. Mass Intentions for loved ones after this time will be printed the week that the Holy Mass is scheduled. Lord Jesus, remember especially in loving mercy: Donald Bragg, Garland Barnes, William Telscher, Joyce Manuel, David McCarthy, Mercedes Checo, Lew Turco, Dorothy Speeney, Claire Altimari, Josephina Escamilla, Walter DeHosse, Jr. Bethlehem Wood Carving Our friend Louie from the Holy Land will be at SVdP on November 1 and 2 after all Holy Masses. Everyone is invited to check out the beautiful olive wood religious items. Christians in Bethlehem have supported their families for many years by selling these beautiful works. They face many challenges due to the terrible situation there and from the lack of pilgrims visiting the holy land. These hardship have caused families to flee in search of income to feed their families. This art work gives Christians in Bethlehem a chance to survive. In 1982, Catholic Christians made up 18% of the population in the holy land. Now they number only 2%, and their future is of great concern. Your generosity toward theses hard-working Catholics will help to protect the holy site and to insure future generations of a Catholic presence in the holy land. All Souls Novena The All Souls Novena will begin on Saturday, November 1, at the 4:00 p.m. Holy Mass and will continue for nine Holy Masses, through Saturday, November 8, at the 6:00 p.m. Holy Mass. If you would like to have a loved one remembered during the Novena, please pick up an envelope in the Narthex, fill it out, and return it to the parish office. IN YOUR PRAYERS To request prayers for yourself, or for loved ones who are sick, or who have special intentions, please list their name in the Book of Petitions located on the table across from Fr. Adrian’s office. Prayer intentions will be listed in the bulletin for one week and will remain in the Book of Petitions for a period of six months. Names listed before Monday will be printed in the bulletin the following weekend. Fr. Omar Loggiodice, Deacon Steve Bek, Robert Donovan, Marylou Bishop, Rita Bek, Chris Long, Jeremiah Sullivan, Brandi Sullivan, Julia Nunez and family, Onate Escamilla family, Mata Magana, Mata Onate, Katy Dillion, David Najib Chahrouri, Sarah Fries, David Lojo, Steven Marks We ask the Lord to grant them comfort and healing.

SVdP Catholic Church Christmas Assistance The Parish of Saint Vincent de Paul would like to help to feed families in need and to assist with modest presents this Christmas.

As you continue to observe October as Respect life Month, we must remember to accompany the teaching on the morality of abortion with the clear message that the Church offers hope and healing for those experiencing emotional and spiritual wounds after an abortion. The archdiocesan Project Rachel Ministry was established to provide compassionate care and help to women and men who are suffering because of an abortion. Project Rachel is a part of the Respect Life Ministry, and our services include confidential and caring referrals to priests, therapists, counselors or support groups as appropriate. For confidential help in dealing with the aftermath of abortion, please contact Project Rachel at (404) 920-7365, [email protected], or visit http://www.archatl.com/ministries/ respectlife/healingafterabortion.html. New Request for Action Family Detention Centers Many women and children crossing the southern border deserve refugee status because of the violence in their homeland. Until their status can be determined, they are being kept in detention centers in several parts of the United States. Representatives of the Catholic Bishops of the United States have visited these detention centers and characterize them as inhumane, expensive, wasteful, and contrary to American values. http://www.justiceforimmigrants.org/ documents/Family-Detention-TalkingPoints.pdf. The bishops of the United States, through their Justice for Immigrants campaign, are asking us to contact President Obama and urge him to stop the extension of these detention centers and implement community based alternatives. Further information and a proposed letter to the White House is found at http://www.capwiz.com/justiceforimmigrants/ issues/alert/?alertid=63454631&type=PR. The Women’s Guild Care Calendar As our parish grows, there is an increasing need to provide families with meals during illness or life changing events. In an effort to better coordinate the planning of such assistance, the Women’s Altar Rosary Guild will be utilizing carecalendar.org. Currently, the Donovan family has an immediate need. If you would like to help by providing a meal for the Donovan family, simply log into carecalendar.org, and enter the calendar id# 192879, and security code 3042. From there you can sign up for the day(s) that will be convenient for you.

Advance Directive for Health Care It’s something that we like to avoid thinking about, but end-of-life health care decisions are important. Families might not know what their loved one would want done in a particular health care emergency; doctors, not trained in Catholic teaching, might end up making medical decisions that a person doesn’t want; families might have to wrestle with who makes the final health care decision. Georgia provides an answer to these difficult issues with an Advance Directive for Health Care (ADHC). An ADHC tells families and physicians the health care decisions a patient wants during incapacity, and it provides for the appointment of a health care agent to help make any other medical decisions. It is a legal document, and as such carries the weight of the law. Filling out the ADHC can be a daunting task. However, St. Vincent de Paul parishioners are here to provide free help. If you would like more information on ADHCs or would like help with filling out an ADHC, please e-mail [email protected] or call (229) 251-0039.

Since it is going to be lunchtime, we ask that you bring a food dish to share. We will supply the drinks and treats. A sign-up sheet for ministry volunteers is posted on the ministry bulletin board.

We thank you for the privilege of being able to organize ourselves politically, and of knowing that political loyalty does not have to mean disloyalty to you. We thank you for your law, which our Founding Fathers acknowledged and recognized as higher than any human law. We thank you for the opportunity that this election year puts before us, to exercise our solemn duty not only to vote, but to influence countless others to vote, and to vote correctly. Lord, we pray that your people may be awakened. Let them realize that while politics is not their salvation, their response to you requires that they be politically active. Awaken your people to know that they are not called to be a sect fleeing the world, but rather a community of faith renewing the world. Awaken them to know that the same hands lifted up to you in prayer are the hands that pull the lever in the voting booth; that the same eyes that read your Word are the eyes that read the names on the ballot, and that they do not cease to be Christians when they enter the voting booth. Awaken your people to a commitment to justice, to the sanctity of marriage and the family, to the dignity of each individual human life, and to the truth that human rights begin when human lives begin, and not one moment later. Lord, we rejoice today that we are citizens of your kingdom. May that make us all the more committed to being faithful citizens on earth. We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. ARCHBISHOP’S ANNUAL APPEAL 2014 “You shall love your neighbor as yourself” Leviticus 19:18 St. Vincent de Paul's Parish Goal: $48,600.00 Amount Pledged: $53,688.66 Amount Paid: $39,928.12 33-Days to Morning Glory Looking for the quickest, surest, and easiest way to holiness, but don’t know where to begin? In our hectic time, St. Pope John Paul II and Blessed Mother Teresa knew that the quickest way to be transformed into a saint is through a relationship with Our Blessed Mother Mary. Join us on November 2nd as we begin a 33-Day preparation for Marian Consecration. For six weeks we will reflect on four great Marian saints who will teach us the secret to drawing closer to the Heart of Jesus through the Heart of Mary. Weekly meetings will be on Sunday nights from 6:15 - 8:15 p.m. in Room 6. We will share insights with our small group and watch a video by Fr. Michael Gaitley. Cost is $30 for materials. Please contact Mary Ware at (770) 222-0624. This is a simple and easy way to be spiritually renewed and to grow in holiness! Please Note: New e-mail address for Bulletin Announcements! All Bulletin announcement requests should be forwarded to [email protected] on or before Monday of each week, to be included in the Bulletin for the upcoming weekend. Congratulations!
