John seems upset that someone is healing in the name of Jesus but is not part of their special group. How does Jesus handle this? Have you ever been suspicious of someone or a group that seems to speak in the name of Jesus? Why did this bother you? 2. As a parent or guardian, uncle or aunt, do you model what it means to be a follower of Jesus? In what ways do you help others know the love of God? 3. Jesus seems to be preaching harsh predic ons. What message is Jesus sending us? Sellersburg/Speed Pancake mix and Syrup No Children s Liturgy of the Word, Mass-Time Nursery or Religious Educa on next weekend (Oct. 7) due to the Turkey Shoot. Regular programming will resume Sunday, October14th. September 30, 2018 Dear fellow parishioners, As we near the end of the liturgical year, there are tremendous opportuni es within the church calendar for enriching our faith. Notwithstanding Advent and Christmas which begin our new church year, we have many chances to learn about and celebrate the heroic men and women recognized by the Church as Saints, culmina ng on All Saint s Day (Nov 1). This upcoming week we celebrate the feast days of St. Thérèse of Lisieux, commonly known as The LiBle Flower (October 1), The Feast of the Holy Guardian Angels (October 2), St. Mother Theodore Guérin (October 3), St. Francis of Assisi (October 4) and Bl. Francis Xavier Seelos and St. Faus na (October 5). The Catholic Church teaches that: Being more closely united to Christ, those who dwell in heaven fix the whole Church more firmly in holiness They do not cease to intercede with the Father for us, as they proffer the merits which they acquired on earth through the one mediator between God and men, Christ Jesus (Catechism of the Catholic Church, no. 956). The Church encourages the church militant (us) to request the aid of the church triumphant (those in heaven) to help us grow closer to our Lord as we work to emulate their virtues. October is abundant with well-known saints, in par cular our Patron Saint Pope St. John Paul II (JPII) who we celebrate on Monday, October 22. Spend an evening with the Mother of Mercy Messengers who will speak on Divine Mercy on Sunday, October 21st at the St. Paul Chapel (p4), along with Holy Hour and Confessions. Divine Mercy Sunday (the second Sunday of Easter) was ins tuted by JPII in 2000 at the same me he canonized Sr. Faus na Kowalska. On this day, he declared "This is the happiest day of my life." (thedivinemercy.org) One of my favorite Catholic devo ons for enriching our faith is the Novena, a 9-day prayer for the intercession of a par cular saint to Jesus on behalf of our inten ons. Leading up to the feast day of JPII, we will make available prayers for his intercession for our inten ons and our church, especially as we move toward building our new unified worship space. Watch the bulle n and our parish website for this novena prayer we can share together October As we turn the page on another church year, and subsequent calendar year, may God bless you and your family. May we also pray for the Communion of Saints intercession for those who are sick or in need of healing. Blessings, Joan Dilger First Saturday Devo on to the Immaculate Heart of Mary St. Paul Chapel Saturday, October 6, :00am Rosary, Litany, and Devo ons 8:30am Mass Confessions will also be available. All you holy men and women, pray for us.

OCTOBER OUTREACH COLLECTION: October 7, 2018 I recently aended the Parish Twinning Program of the Americas Na<onal Conference in Nashville. It was a humbling experience to be with so many other parishioners from across the USA and see their passion for their twin parishes in Hai< and in other countries. The speakers challenged us to be Bold and Crea<ve in our Twinning, to rethink the way we do Mission; but most compelling for me was the challenge to BE THE GOSPEL WE PREACH. Our twinning rela<onship with our parishes in Bayeaux-Novion provide us with an opportunity to do just that- Be the Gospel we Preach. There are several ways you can help us do that. 100% of the October outreach collec<on, as well as the money raised in our Hands Across Hai' Appeal will go to directly aid our sister parish in Hai<. With your dona<ons, we are able to pay teacher salaries, provide food for the priest and the parish staff (priests in Hai< do not receive a salary, but live on only the support of their parish collec<ons which is less than $3000 US dollars a year), help maintain their buildings, and provide direct outreach to the poorest of the poor. You can help by being generous in the outreach collec<on as well as the Hands Across Hai< Appeal throughout October. You can also help by considering aending a mission trip to learn more about the life of our sister parish (our next trip will be in early February or March a fine <me to be in a tropical climate). It is a wonderful opportunity to make new friends with our sister parishioners. Also, please consider this an invita<on to join us on the third Tuesday of each month for the regular mee<ngs of our Hai< Commiee. There is a Hai<an Proverb that says, Lile By Lile, the Bird builds his Nest. Please be generous and help us build up our sister parishes in Bayeaux- Novion.
