PARISHIONER REGISTRATION Parishioner registration is important to the parish as well as the parishioner. All parishioners are encouraged to register.

If you are presently receiving envelopes and would like them discontinued please call the rectory and we will assist you. ( ) KEEPING UP WITH EXPENSES The parish effort to closely manage day to day expenses continues. However, expenses such as utilities, property insurance and our archdiocesan assessment for central services (in some months totaling as much as $15,000) put a strain on our ability to keep current with all expenses. Our objective is to achieve that goal without any assistance from the Archdiocese. The continued generosity of every parishioner and increased giving whenever possible will make that possible. Thank you for your continued support. PARISH PAY WEEKLY OFFERINGS THROUGH AUTO- MATED GIVING: is available to parishioners. Please log onto: to enroll online.

4 October 16, 2016 Page 3 Sponsors for Baptism/Confirmation Serving as a Sponsor is a great honor and serious responsibility in the Church. Sponsors are liturgical ministers who promise to support the candidate and be a good example of living the Catholic Faith. For this reason the Church has certain requirements that have to be addressed before one can be considered a Sponsor. A Sponsor is expected to be attending Mass on Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation, be at least 16 years of age, Baptized and Confirmed in the Catholic Church, not a parent of the candidate and if married, validly married, in the Church and if not married not living with someone as if married. Sponsor Certificates will be granted only to people who can satisfy these requirements.

6 October 16, 2016 The Twenty-ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time Page 5 DEPENDING ON GOD Getting by with a little help from our friends is not an idea that began with the Beatles. Certainly the idea of getting by with a little help from God goes back at least to the first reading today from Exodus. How we get that help, however, is the key to this weekend s scriptures. No matter how inadequate Moses felt to the task God had given him, he persevered even though he needed help from the people around him. The Israelites especially depended on God for freedom. The woman in the Gospel, desperate and destitute, had no one to depend on, but still she would not give up. She could not afford to bribe the unscrupulous judge, but she pestered him into weariness until finally he met her demands. We sometimes need to turn to others to help us through difficult times; but if we always turn to God, we won t be disappointed, for our help, the psalm assures us, is from the Lord. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.. TODAY S READINGS First Reading As long as Moses hands were kept uplifted, Joshua and his men had the better part of the battle with Amalek (Exodus 17:8-13). Psalm Our help is from the Lord, who made heaven and earth (Psalm 121). Second Reading Remain faithful; proclaim the word; be persistent whether it is convenient or not (2 Timothy 3:14 4:2). Gospel God will secure the rights of the chosen who call out day and night (Luke 18:1-8). The English translation of the Psalm Responses from Lectionary for Mass 1969, 1981, 1997, International Commission on English in the Liturgy Corporation. All rights reserved. READINGS FOR THE WEEK Monday: Eph 2:1-10; Ps 100:1b-5; Lk 12:13-21 Tuesday: 2 Tm 4:10-17b; Ps 145:10-13, 17-18; Lk 10:1-9 Wednesday: Eph 3:2-12; Is 12:2-3, 4bcd-6; Lk 12:39-48 Thursday: Eph 3:14-21; Ps 33:1-2, 4-5, 11-12, 18-19; Lk 12:49-53 Friday: Eph 4:1-6; Ps 24:1-4ab, 5-6; Lk 12:54-59 Saturday: Eph 4:7-16; Ps 122:1-5; Lk 13:1-9 Sunday: Sir 35:12-14, 16-18; Ps 34:2-3, 17-19, 23; 2 Tm 4:6-8, 16-18; Lk 18:9-14 TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION From the early medieval period, it was expected that the many bishops of Italy travel to Rome at least once every three years to give a report of their ministry, with a footnote granting the bishops of Sicily a visit every five years. By the eleventh century, the idea of bishops visiting the tombs of the apostles was a very strict requirement for all within reasonable reach of Rome. The age of discovery and the expansion of the Church into remote corners of the earth made this an unreasonable burden in many cases, yet every bishop was required at least to send a representative to Rome every five years. In 1911, Pope St. Pius X established the rule for a quinquennial (meaning once in five years ) report, called an ad limina. This literally means to the threshhold, and refers to the expectation that the visiting bishop will go to the thresholds of the tombs of the apostles Peter and Paul and to a personal audience with the Holy Father. An exemption was given to so-called mission territories, which in 1911 included the United States. The reports were still required, but could be filed by letter with an office of the missions called Propagation of the Faith. This status was changed in 1917 and since that time all American bishops have been subject to the ad limina. These reports, carefully kept in the Vatican archives, are a treasure trove for historians, providing snapshots of culture and faith and a record of the Church s resilience even in times of persecution and change. Rev. James Field, Copyright J. S. Paluch Co. Apostolate of Prayer Father, in your plan of salvation you provide shepherds for your people. Fill your Church with a spirit of courage and love. Raise up worthy ministers to your altars, ardent but gentle servants of the Gospel. To those clergy who have already answered your call, grant joy and perseverance in your service. Amen. Oct 17 Rev.
