Franciscan Seminarians
Last week, Matthew Archbold of
the Cardinal Newman Society
reported the following: Following
decades of downward trends,
the number of men currently
enrolled in graduate seminaries
is the highest it has been in two
decades, according to
Georgetown University’s Center
for Applied Research in the
Apostolate (CARA). This year’s
reported numbers of 3,694
graduate theology students is a
sign of hope for the Church
which had been in a state of
continued decline. Since 1985,
enrollment numbers had gone
down from 4,063 in 1985, to
3,172 in 1995, to 3,474 in 2000,
and just 3,308 in 2005. But the
number is still fewer than half
the 8,325 seminarians in 1965.
St. Vincent de Paul Regional
Seminary in Florida has seen
enrollment rise from 61 students
i n 2 0 1 0 t o 8 5 t h i s y e a r,
according to the Sun-
Sentinel newspaper. Fr. David
Toups, the seminary’s rector, told
the newspaper that the seminary
may be forced to expand if this
trend continues. "We can always
use more priests,” he reportedly
said. “There will never be a
shortage of work." KenrickGlennon Seminary in St. Louis
saw 125 seminarians in the pretheology and theology programs.
That’s reportedly the highest
enrollment the seminary has
seen in the past 15 years.
Annual ordinations have also
rebounded a bit with 511 a year,
versus the 442 and 454 reported
in 2000 and 2005 respectively.
CARA also reported that the
number of permanent deacons is
rising every year. In 1985, there
were just 7,204, but now there
are 17,325 permanent deacons.
Meanwhile, the Church has
continued to grow in the U.S.
Since 1965, the number of
Catholics, according to the
Official Catholic Directory, has
grown from 45.6 million to 66.8
million this year.
This discernible turn-around in
the numbers of young men
entering seminaries throughout
the world is generally attributed
to the recovery of a more
authentic Catholic tradition that
has characterized the pontificates of Blessed John Paul the
Great and Pope Benedict XVI.
This August, in the Franciscan
Province that serves Saint
Thomas Aquinas Cathedral, ten
of our friars professed solemn
vows in Vietnam. Two of them
are scheduled for ordination next
year. In July, we also had two
simple professions. One of the
brothers pictured above, at the
Franciscan friary of Marytown in
the Chicago area, is Friar Israel
Arauz-Rosiles OFM Conv from
Reno! Pray for our seminarians.

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION
The TWEENERS program has been
cancelled due to lack of interest.
CATHEDRAL SECURITY
I have asked the security company to remove any person who causes concern in the
Cathedral. The Cathedral is a place that anyone can come in and visit with Jesus and not be
harassed by anyone. The security company is to do the removal with as little disturbance
and as politely as possible. Over the past month I have had over a dozen complaints of
prayer disruptions in the Cathedral. This causes a great concern about the children that
sometimes run around the Cathedral area seemly unsupervised.
REPAIRS
Starting on the first of November we will have the gutters repaired on the Cathedral and
new gutters placed over the fire escapes on the school building. Every year during the
winter the ice forms and hangs over the edge which covers the side entrance to the
Cathedral. Once this is completed I will start to repair the lights and sound system if there is
money left.
PANTRY NEEDS
This year the pantry will need clean winter coats that fit men, women and children, and
sleeping bags that will keep people warn when the temperature reaches zero. Any help is
always appreciated.
SCHOOL BUILDING WATER LEAK
The week of October 7th we will be fixing the water pipe from the meter to the school shut
off valve in the school building. This will take three to five days to complete.
CSA
The Cathedral receives $50,000
each year from CSA towards
our outstanding Renovation
loan.
Your support to help the
Cathedral reach its goal is
greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Q: How do you make
holy water?
A: You boil the hell
out of it!
MISA DE SANACION
El Grupo de Oración, La Sagrada Familia, le invita a una Misa de Sanación precedida por el Padre Félix
Martinez de Chihuahua, México el próximo Miércoles 9 de Octubre a las 6:30PM.
FIESTA DE NUESTRA SEÑORA DE GUADALUPE

Nuestra Sra. de Guadalupe. Su donación de $35 comprará un ramo de rosas. Si usted puede ayudar,

de la Virgen de Guadalupe.
E NTRADA
Creo en Jesús, creo en Jesús, Él es mi amigo, es mi alegría, Él es mi amor;
creo en Jesús, creo en Jesús, Él es mi Salvador.
El llamó a mi puerta, me invitó a compartir su heredad; seguiré a su lado, llevaré su mensaje de paz.
Ayudó al enfermo y le trajo la felicidad; defendió al humilde, combatió la mentira y el mal.
Día y noche, creo en Jesús, Él está a mi lado, creo en Jesús, sigo sus palabras, creo en Jesús,
doy por Él la vida, creo en Jesús, es mi Salvador.
Enseñó a Zaqueo a partir su hacienda y su pan; alabó a la viuda porque dio cuanto pudo ella dar.
Aleluya, creo en Jesús, Él es el Mesías, creo en Jesús, Él es mi esperanza, creo en Jesús,
vive para siempre, creo en Jesús, es mi Salvador.
SALMO RESPONSORIAL
Ojalá escuchen hoy la vos del Señor, no endurezcan el Corazón.
OFERTORIO
En ti mi Dios, mi amparo y mi refugio, en ti pongo mi confianza. (2)
Dios te libra del cazador, del lazo que busca destruirte. Te cubre con sus alas divinas y será su plumaje tu refugio.
No ha de alcanzarte la tribulación, ni la plaga caerá sobre tu casa. Dara a sus ángeles la orden de cuidarte siempre en tu camino.
Me llamaras y yo responderé, estaré contigo en la desgracia. De días sin fin te colmare y hare que veas la salvación.
COMUNIÓN
Comulgar es un acto de amor, comulgar es un acto divino; recibiendo el cuerpo de Cristo, en especies de pan y de vino. (2)
Jesús Eucaristía, maestro Dios de bondad, amigo de los pobres, venid a mi alma ya.
Dijiste a los cansados yo os aliviaré y si os persiguen con vosotros estaré.
Tu cuerpo es alimento para la salud y bien de quien tu gracia vive por los siglos y siglos amén.
FINAL
Danos un corazón grande para amar; danos un corazón fuerte para luchar.
Hombres nuevos creadores de la historia, constructores de nueva humanidad,
hombres nuevos que viven la existencia como riesgo de un largo caminar.
Hombres nuevos luchando en esperanza, caminantes sedientos de verdad;
hombres nuevos sin frenos ni cadenas, hombres libres que exigen libertad.
Hombres nuevos amando sin fronteras, por encima de razas y lugar;
hombres nuevos al lado de los pobres compartiendo con ellos techo y pan.
El Coro Santo Tomás se encarga de la Música el día de hoy.
