He lay helpless and alone on the roadside, half dead from the
robbers’ merciless beating. Two travelers came upon the injured
man, but rather than offer assistance, they simply avoided him.
Finally, a third passerby “was moved with compassion at the sight”
of him (Luke 10:33) and went out of his way to help.

Save the Date! Our annual IHM Picnic
will be held on Saturday, October 22,
11:00 a.m. –3:00 p.m.
In the Parable of the Good Samaritan, we can see ourselves in each
person. Like the robbers, we have hurt others. Like the priest and
the Levite, we have failed to show compassion. Like the injured
traveler, we have suffered in body and spirit, feeling rejected and
alone. Yet God never stops offering each of us his mercy, “a
concrete reality with which he reveals his love” (MV 6).
We have been treated with mercy ourselves, and Jesus tells us to “go
and do likewise” (Luke 10:37), giving us the roadmap of the Spiritual
and Corporal Works of Mercy.
Each person “has a place in God’s hear from all eternity” (AL 168).
Within this context, Pope Francis reminds us, “we are called to
protect our humanity, and this means, in the first place, accepting it
and respecting it as it was created” (AL 56).
Like the Good Samaritan, may we always treat each person with
merciful love and respect that affirms the gift of his or her life.

Commitment forms were mailed to every registered household; extras are available
in the church narthex and the parish office. Please record your commitments of
Time, Talent and Treasure for the year ahead on that form, and bring it with you to
Mass next Sunday, when we will place them in the offertory along with our regular

The Archdiocesan Parish Verification
Form describes an “active” Catholic family as: (1) registered in their
parish; (2) participating regularly at Mass on Sundays and Holy
Days; (3) having a parish Time & Talent commitment on file for
the current year and participating in at least one parish ministry;
(3) having a parish Treasure commitment on file for the current
year and contributing on a regular basis; and (4) pledged and
contributing to the Archbishop’s Annual Appeal for
the current year. Those who do not meet these criteria
are “registered but not active” and are not eligible for
“active Catholic” tuition. Please do the right thing
now so that your pastor is able to check “active”
when your verification form crosses his desk.
You, your family and friends are invited to
join us at the IHM Annual Family
