Our Condolences We extend our deepest sympathy to the families and friends of the following parishioners who have died in July thru September 2016, and pray for the repose of their souls: Ramona Chauvin Wattigny Date of Death: July 2, 2016 Lois Laviolette Prosper Date of Death: July 11, 2016 Vernice Migues Delahoussaye Date of Death: Aug. 2, 2016 Mae Louviere Dautreuil Date of Death: Aug. 15, 2016 Billy Ray Derouen Date of Death: Aug. 16, 2016 William Reed Chauffe Date of Death: Aug. 25, 2016 Lona Trahan Smith Date of Death: Sept. 8, 2016 Rafael Gregorio Bedia Date of Death: Sept. 18, 2016 Thank you for your generous response to the Society for the Propagation of the Faith last weekend. Some people are called to go to serve in other countries to develop the Church and serve its people, but all of us can pray and support the Missions from right here in the parish. Blessing of Nativity Mausoleum Sunday, October 30 th Following the 10:30am Mass Is your child thinking about service to the church? Do they want to take a more active role during Mass? The Altar Server program may be what they are looking for. If your child is interested in participating in the Altar Server Program (3rd grade and up - Catholic Schools, Private Schools & Public Schools), please contact Lupe or Polly Camacho at the church office Nativity Mausoleum Update Our sales campaign is underway for the construction of new mausoleum crypts at Nativity of Our Lady. The new mausoleum is probably 1 year away from completion, therefore, the small number of unsold crypts that we have in current inventory will be reserved for temporary placement for caskets of families who have bought in the new mausoleum and are awaiting completion of the new facilities. We wanted to make this information known so that you can plan accordingly for your family s burial needs. If you would like to speak to a salesman from the Acme Mausoleum company, please call the church office for their contact information. REFLECTIONS Twenty-Ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time - It is ironic that, often, it is the unbeliever who is the example of compassion and charity while many Christians seek vengeance and condemn those who have not been saved or who behave in ways they deem inappropriate. As disciples, we are called to imitate Jesus and respond to others as he would. While it is easier to find the faults in others, our challenge is to discover the good in others and treat everyone with respect and compassion. The Lord is your keeper He will keep your going out and your coming in. - Psalm 121:5, 8 Reprinted with permission from S.T. Productions.

Reading II: 2 Timothy 3:14-4:2 Be faithful to what you have learned. Gospel: Luke 18:1-8 Pray always and never lose heart. Theme: Never stop praying. Have faith and never give up! CHILDREN: Jesus teaches us to trust God. How does God help you in your daily life? YOUTH: Jesus tells us that persistence will pay off, if we continue to pray to God. How and when do you pray? How could you grow in the ways that you pray? ADULT: When you pray, what do you ask for most often? How do you know God gives you this request? Because our church bulletin is printed out of state, all Mass intentions and announcements should be submitted to the office at least two weeks prior to the requested bulletin date. Thank you. We are pleased to announce that arrangements have been completed with Acme Mausoleum Corporation to build Phase 4 of our mausoleum here at Nativity of Our Lady. Acme Mausoleum has over 100 years of memorial experience and is the largest builders of mausoleums in the nation. They were the builders of our recent additions to our mausoleum and are here again offering the same trustworthy credentials and satisfactory service. Representatives will be contacting our families over the next few weeks to answer questions about the mausoleum and determine who is interested in making provisions for their families. The number of crypts selected before construction will determine the size of the mausoleum. Spaces are reserved on a first come basis, therefore anyone seeking information should either mail in the return card from the brochure being mailed to you, or by calling Acme at To be assured of a selection of your preference, you should reserve your space now. Additional brochures are located at the rear of the church for those who may not have received one in the mail.
