Octubre - mes del Santo Rosario
17-18 de octubre - 29º domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
Este domingo es el Domingo Mundial de las Misiones
El mensaje del Evangelio de este fin de semana: De manera muy semejante al hombre rico del Evangelio
de la semana pasada, los discípulos todavía no han comprendido que solo encontramos el poder y seguridad
verdaderos cuando confiamos en Dios. Ni la riqueza ni el poder pueden impedir o vencer la muerte.
Espiritualidad 911¿Sabía Ud. que tenemos un grupo solo para las mujeres de nuestra
parroquia? Nosotras nos reunimos el tercer lunes de cada mes en el salón de la casa parroquial. Nuestra
próxima reunión será el lunes, 19 de octubre a las 7 de la noche. Puesto que octubre es el mes del Santo
Rosario, empezaremos la reunión rezando los Misterios Gozosos. En las reuniones de los próximos meses
planeamos discutir la Encíclica del Papa Francisco sobre El cuidado de la casa común, o sea, nuestro planeta,
sus pueblos y todas sus criaturas.
Uno de los beneficios de nuestros encuentros es el apoyo y camaradería que compartimos unas con otras. Si
Ud. necesita un descanso de su rutina y pasar un rato rezando y compartiendo con otras mujeres
sobre su fe y su relación con Jesús, asista a nuestras reuniones del lunes, las cuales suelen durar
una hora y media.
Dear St. Patrick’s,
I thank you so much in the name of the 7, 8 and 9 grades students for the money to purchase textbooks. I
went to Fonkoze last Friday and the money was available. I started to buy the textbooks and plastic to protect
them. Pictures of that will get to you soon. School doing well, parishioners and I are excited to see the group
in March. We started the school with cafeteria because we received rice, beans, oil from Caritas and the
money from St Patrick’s to purchase firewood and spices.
Thank you and God bless you all.
Fr. Roderick

We Seek Your Help
Our current parish hymnal, JourneySongs, 2nd Edition, is in
various states of disrepair. Ten years old now, it does not contain
the revised Order of Mass and is missing many of the
supplements. It is time to order new hymnals for St. Patrick
Church!
JourneySongs, 3rd Edition, is the updated version we seek to
purchase. It is complete with all the new information and has a
green cover.
The suggested donation is $25.00 per hymnal.
As previously, a name plate will be added inside the front cover of the new hymnal in
memory of your deceased loved one or in honor of a family member or friend. You can also
choose to donate toward the purchase of multiple books.
Our used hymnals will be donated to two parishes in Appalachia. One of those parishes is in
West Virginia, where Father Joe served when he was first ordained. So your previous book
offering will continue to "serve others in your name."
Envelopes are provided for your tax-deductible donation and can be dropped in the
collection basket or brought to the parish office.
Thank you in advance for your donation! We hope to complete this Hymnbook Campaign by
the beginning of November 2015.
The St. Patrick’s community will be
celebrating Thanksgiving
with a Thanksgiving Dinner that
will take place immediately following the
10:30 a.m. Mass on Sunday, November 15.
Everyone is invited to attend.
Turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes and drinks will be provided.
You are asked to bring a side dish according to the following:
Family last name beginning with the letters:
A through G — a salad
H through N — bread or dessert
O through Z — a vegetable dish
Please sign-up in the narthex so that we can plan accordingly.
