From the Pastor
Flu Season & Reception of Precious Blood at Mass
Due to the onset of the flu season and other healthrelated concerns, the reception of the Precious
Blood from common chalices at Mass will be
temporarily discontinued. This will take effect
beginning this weekend. Also, keep in mind that
if you are ill and not feeling well, please use
common sense by staying home to rest and
recuperate. Remember, the obligation to attend
Mass is lifted due to illness and/or poor health.
Thank you for your understanding.
Fall Back!—Daylight Savings Time ends
Sunday, November 2nd
Don’t forget to turn your clocks back one hour
before you go to bed on Saturday, November 1st.
All Saints Day is November 1st and All Souls
Day is November 2nd
This year, because November 1st falls on a Saturday,
the obligation to attend Mass on the Solemnity of
All Saints is lifted. Therefore, it is NOT a holy day
of obligation this year. Mass for the Solemnity of
All Saints will be at our regularly scheduled
8:15 a.m. Mass on Saturday, November 1st.
Since All Souls Day, November 2nd, falls on a
Sunday this year, it replaces the normal Sunday
in Ordinary Time. We will commemorate the
All Souls liturgy at all our regularly scheduled
weekend Masses November 1st & 2nd.

Our parish is filled with
caring, generous people who
understand and embrace the
Annual Pastoral Appeal and
all the good that it brings to
our parish and to our diocese.
It is a true witness to our Catholic
faith when the unity of faithful, generous people
provide resources for our diocese to evangelize
and seek those in need of Christ. Your generosity
to the Annual Pastoral Appeal supports this
mission of our church and we are able to bring
Jesus way out past our parish walls. Thank you
to all who have given a sacrificial gift to the
Annual Pastoral Appeal. You have reduced our
parish obligation and helped to advance the
outreach of our faith. If you have not yet made a
gift, it’s never too late. Let your faith be your
guide and participate in this appeal for our parish and for those in need throughout our diocese.
Gift envelopes are located at the back of the
church for your convenience. May God continue
to bless you and all the wonderful parishioners of
our parish and of our diocesan faith community.
Thank you for your continued care and service.
Christ is Calling…
Will You Follow?
Jesus came to a lot of sleepy
people. They were safe and secure in their
practices and observances, but for some the echo
of a promise kept alive the suspicion that there
was more to come. He found them. He was the
promise. There was more to come. They came
and saw.
This week is your last chance to sign up for the
women’s retreat next weekend. The hour is late
but not over. Call today for late registration for a
retreat that will bring much joy and peace into
your life.
CHURCH ETIQUETTE
The priest should be the last in,

We invite you to donate flower

An 8-week Journey Through the Bible
Tricia Boat-Sorbie
In Memory of My Beloved Msgr. Trainor
on the Anniversary of his 95th Birthday.
September 24/25–November 12/13
A Quick Journey Through the Bible is an excellent
program for beginners and those who have
studied scripture for years. This simple program
uses the Bible Timeline learning system to give
people a useful framework from which to read
and understand the Bible. Most Catholics know
much more about the bible than they realize, they
just need help organizing what they know.
This program will help you put it together and
better understand scripture, church teachings and
enrich your experience at Mass.
You will learn:
 How the major people, places, events and
themes of the Bible fit together within the
central story woven throughout Scripture.
 The 12 major time periods of salvation history
and the story told in the 14 narrative books of
the Bible.
 The six covenants God made with humanity,
leading to the establishment of the Catholic
church.
 How the 14 narrative books fit in with the
other 59 books of the Bible.
 How to use the color-coded tools to remember
the important time period of the Old and New
Testaments and much more.
The next 3 upcoming sessions:
Oct. 29 & 30 Divided Kingdom; Exile
Nov. 5 & 6 The Return; The Maccabean Revolt
Nov. 12 & 13 Messianic Fulfillment; The Church
For more information, please contact Frank Boyle
at 360.1147, ext. 201, or email at [email protected].
Donations and the occasion will be published in
the church bulletin and announced at Mass.
Please contact the Parish Office at 360.1147.
Martha’s Helpers
We are in need of several smiling
faces to help us out around our
church. There are many tasks

might be a volunteer opportunity for you!
For more information, or to volunteer, please

Prepare yourself and get ready
to join Fr. Garry in No-Shave November.
What is No-Shave November?
No-Shave November is a unique way to raise cancer
awareness. The goal of No -Shave November is to
grow awareness by embracing our hair, which
many cancer patients lose, and letting it grow
wild and free. Donate the money you usually
spend on shaving and grooming for the month to
educate about cancer prevention, save lives and
aid those fighting the battle.
If you’re not ready to sport a new shaggy look,
consider donating anyway to support the cause.
Go online to no-shavenovember.com for more
information and/or to donate.
Parents, friends and family
members of an incarcerated
individual are invited to attend
a monthly parent’s support

issues, including, but not limited to, feelings of
loss and grief affiliated with this situation.
Confidentiality is assured. This faith-based
meeting is open to persons of every denomination, but the format is Christ-centered. Everyone

respected for those who choose not to.

Lord and Holy Protector,
you called Abraham and Sarah to leave their homeland
and to journey away from their own people.
Yet you kept them safe wherever they went.
Protect our children, our husbands and wives,
our mothers and fathers, and our friends and loved ones
who now must leave to fight in this war.
Walk by their side and calm any fear.
Be their companion and guide their thoughts;
Encircle them with your light, and keep them from harm;
And when their service is ended, lead them safely home.
For you, O God, are our shelter in every storm
and our refuge in times of danger.
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen
