TWENTY-SEVENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
POPE FRANCIS' PRAYER INTENTION FOR OCTOBER: "We should always remember the dignity and rights of those who work, condemn situations in which that dignity and those rights are violated, and help to ensure authentic progress by man and society. Let us pray that all workers may receive respect and protection of their rights, and that the unemployed may receive the opportunity through their work to contribute to the common good." See the original video at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwhzhx9cpo8 YOUNG ADULTS 21-35: SUNDAY, OCTOBER 15, 6:00pm: SAVE THE DATE!!!: All young adults, single and married, are invited to a social gathering downstairs in the parish hall on October 15 at 6:00pm. It will be an opportunity to just get together and socialize and to see how the Spirit will move us in growing together for our parish community. Please also invite anyone who you think might be interested. See you there! ON THE BULLETIN BOARD: There are many events going on throughout the archdiocese, too many of which can be included in the parish bulletin. Further information on the following events can be found on the parish bulletin board at the parking lot entrance to the church: Columbus Day Parade: October 9 DOOR COLLECTION THIS WEEKEND: As I mentioned last week, we will be taking up a collection at the door after all Masses in aid of hurricane relief. A portion of the proceeds will go to Catholic Relief Services, because of their low administrative costs, guaranteeing that most of the money will go toward aid to the victims of the hurricanes in the US, in Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands. The other portion will go to the Redemptorist Congregation in aid of the island of Dominica. They have begun a gofundme campaign to raise funds to rebuild churches and houses. 80% of their infrastructure was also damaged by Hurricane Maria. If you would still like to contribute, St. Peter's Church in Florida suffered the loss of both their church and their rectory. Their pastor, Fr. Jets Medina, is a friend of mine, and he has asked for our help. If you would like to donate in the form of gift cards, for example, to grocery stores, Home Depot or Ace Hardware, or Visa and American Express, you can send them directly to him. If instead you wish you send a check to help rebuild the parish, you may make out a check to "St. Peter Catholic Church" and send it to the following address: St. Peter Catholic Church PO Box 430657 31300 Overseas Hwy Big Pine Key, FL 33043 Whatever and however you can give will be appreciated. So please help as you can.
