5 Female Veterans: The Grayson Springs DAR (Daughters of America Revolution) are planning an event to honor all female veterans. If you know of any please contact Linda Peterson at or A Little Humor: A man got a real tough penance from the priest one day after going to confession. The priest told the man, for your penance I want you pray a whole decade of the rosary. The man told his friend, the good news is I only have one more year to go. Change: If nothing changes, nothing changes. - Earnie Larsen. Parish Ministries: It is never too late to signup for any of the ministries in our parish. Just talk to Fr. Tony or call the parish office. Good Health: Hundreds of medical studies have shown that being spiritual can help us live longer. Even if these studies were to reverse their findings and say that being spiritual can t extend our life span, faith can still add fulfillment to our years of whatever number. Prayer, altruism (selflessness), and a sense of belonging to a community are a prescription for holistic health. (Rx: Meditate, donate, and congregate regularly to improve your health. Consult your Divine Physician if your condition weakens.) Turn Off That Racket! It takes time to make peace with silence, but it s important to do. Every so often, we need a breather. We need to experience the truth revealed by the author of Psalm 46 when he wrote, Be still and know that I am God! Joy for All: The Joy of the Gospel is for all people: on one can be excluded. Pope Francis The joy of the Lord will be my strength. (Nehemiah 8:10) St. Paul School Calendar October 22 Mr. Gatti's Fundraiser 11 am - 8 pm Must bring a church bulletin or flyer mentioning fundraiser in order to receive the percentage. Set your mind on things above (Colossians 3:2) Scripture Sunday: Today, October 15 has been designated by Bishop Medley as Scripture Sunday in our diocese. This is in response to Pope Francis s desire that one Sunday of the year would be set aside in an effort to make the Sacred Scriptures better known. The bookmarks inserted in today s bulletins explains this further and proposes a method of praying the Scriptures called Lectio Divina which is Latin for Sacred Reading. Men s Prayer Group: Men of Saint Joseph, it is time to stand up and show the parish, your children and grandchildren how prayer is the way to make a difference and a change. This Monday, October 16, at 6pm in the basement of the rectory (street side entrance) we will pray as a group of brothers in Christ. This is a wonderful way to get started praying for our country, our town, and our Church and be an example for all to see and follow.

The store hours are Monday Saturday, 9:00 am 2:30 pm. If you could volunteer to work one day or part of a day, once a week or a couple of times each month, please give Barbara Fitzhugh a call at or
