Twenty-Ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time October 20 & 21, 2018 In 1884, Pope Leo XIII requested that atholics throughout the world say the following prayer after each mass to seek St. Michael s protection for the church, which was under attack by Satan. Pope Francis has asked us to resume the practice. Prayer to St. Michael Saint Michael, the Archangel, Defend us in battle. Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly hosts, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who wander through the world for the ruin of souls. AMEN! God Bless our Newly Baptized We warmly welcome Joelle Marie Lessard, daughter of Eric Lessard and Marielle Galera Lessard. She became a atholic and a member of our faith community last Sunday. May our prayers and example help her get closer to God!

This is the land they are currently leasing for their athletic fields. We have enough land left in the other section for at least 20 more years of lot sales and we really do not need this land. Both the Finance ouncil and the Pastoral ouncil have voted unanimously to proceed with the sale. There are many steps left to take (appraisals, surveying, approval by diocesan boards, setting a price, town meeting, contract) before we see the money. We have drawn up a wish list of capital improvements we d like to tackle with this money. More details as things progress. emetery News Please note that the cemeteries will officially close on November 1, when the water will be shut off. owever, the gates will remain open until after Veterans Day (November 11). Burials will continue until the ground is frozen. Keep in mind that as the weather gets colder, access to the church buildings can become more difficult. We will do the best we can to keep entrances clear but please be prudent and use caution! We have placed jars and envelopes at the church entrances to collect your offerings for the hurricane victims in the arolinas and other recent disasters. They will be there through the month of October. You can make the contribution by check, payable to the church. Please deposit your donations in the jars provided or in the collection basket..

If you re looking for a contrast between the hurch and the world, here it is. While most people in the world seem to be obsessed with being first: getting ahead, keeping up with the Joneses, meeting all their wants and needs, it seems that many atholics are quite content to be last. They are the last ones in hurch for Mass, they sit in the last pew, are the last to volunteer for any program or project and usually toss their last dollar in the collection. When Jesus said that the first will be last, I know this is not what e had in mind. In today s gospel. two of his disciples (James & John) were looking for special treatment (they wanted to be first) and Jesus used the occasion to teach us all a valuable lesson, though what e said seemed very strange in an era of slaves and absolute rulers. If you want to be first, become the slave of everyone else. In other words, place the needs of every other person ahead of your own. Stop what you are doing when someone asks for help, let them have that last dollar you Sanctuary Lamp From this Sunday thru next Saturday, the sanctuary lamp in church will burn for these intentions: St. Paul s: Gary Kulacz by Walter, Marie & Family St. Mary s: Will Gauthier by the Parish ST. GABRIEL S PRAYER LINE If you d like to call in your prayer requests, this month s contact is Muriel Paradis, 496-9673. You can also write in your request in the book at either church. Prayers Requested Will Gauthier Rev. Jim Keegan Pauline Methot Gene Tucker Pope Francis Prayer Intentions for October: For Mission of Religious. That consecrated religious men and women may bestir themselves, and be present among the poor, the marginalized, and those who have no voice. were saving for a latte, let them use your car if theirs won t start, run their errands, lend/give them money, let them talk your ear off, etc. If you do this, two things will happen: first, your plans will take the back seat. It will take you longer to get your own projects done, you will probably lose a few bucks or half a day, you ll often come home exhausted and once in a while, you ll find that you re in over your head. But secondly, people will come to depend on you. You will be the first one they think of or turn to when they have a problem, when they face a crisis or need a sympathetic, understanding friend. Jesus says that this is the kind of first we should be looking for. While the world may consider this a loser strategy, anyone who lives this way will honestly tell you it makes them feel wanted, needed, like a million bucks, like they re sitting on top of the world! And that s before they even take their seat at Jesus right or left!
