OCTOBER 18, 2015
During November, we are called in a special way
to remember our brothers and sisters who have
fallen asleep in the hope of the resurrection. A
“Book of Remembrance” will be placed on the
lectern, beside the credence table, at the back of the
church sanctuary on October 31. I invite you to write the names
of your deceased family members and friends in this book and
we will pray for them at all Masses throughout the month of
November. We will also have a special Mass of Remembrance at
5:15 PM on Wednesday, November 11. Our Adoration Chapel is
one of only four locations in the Diocese of Charlotte to have 24
hour Perpetual Adoration. If you would like to reserve a special time
slot to spend time in prayer with our Lord, please call Melanie and
Dave King at 828-638-0462. Many thanks for your generosity to
this weekend’s second collection for World Mission Sunday.
- Sincerely Yours in Christ,
Fr. Larry LoMonaco

STEWARDSHIP THOUGHT
All discipleship involves mission. The Bishops’ pastoral letter on
stewardship reminds us, “Every member of the Church is called to
evangelize, and the practice of authentic Christian stewardship
inevitably leads to evangelization.” We are grateful this week for all
stewards in our parish who evangelize and bring Christ to the world
by the example of their lives.

items, toothbrushes, mouthwash, floss, and ponchos are welcome
as well. Please put your donations in the plastic blue container
across from the restrooms. Thanks for helping your brothers and
sisters in need!

Operation
LAMB
Program. LAMB supports local organizations helping persons with

Special Olympics, North Liberty School, CAMP Cogger and Holy
Angels in Belmont. Also, the State K. of C. Council makes a large
donation to J. Iverson Riddle Center in Morganton. Your help is
appreciated supporting this great program.
CHURCH HUMOR!
Nine-year old Joey was asked by his mother what he learned in
Sunday School. “Well, mom, our teacher told us how God sent
Moses behind enemy lines to rescue the Israelites from Egypt.
When he got to the Red Sea, he had his army build a pontoon
bridge and all the people walked across safely. Then he radioed for
some bombers to blow up the bridge and wipe out Pharaoh’s army.
All the Israelites were saved!” “Now, Joey, is that what your teacher
taught you?” his mother inquired. “Well, no, mom. But if I told it the
way the teacher did, you would never believe it!”
XXIX DOMINGO DEL TIEMPO ORDINARIO
Jesús ofreció su vida como sacrificio para el pecado. Por eso, nos reunimos
aquí, agradecidos y humildes, a dar gracias a Dios.
Stewardship
Los buenos administradores de los bienes de Dios no deben discutir sobre
quien es más importante. El Evangelio de hoy dice claramente que
aquellos que aspiran a la grandeza deben atender humildemente las
necesites de todos. Incuso Jesús no vino a ser servido, sino a servir.
Formación de Fe
Por favor marque sus calendarios:
No hay clases de Formación de Fe el domingo 25
o el Miércoles 28 (Los grados del Kinder al octavo Grado.
Del escritorio del Padre Larry,
Durante el mes de noviembre, estamos llamados a recordar de
modo especial a nuestros hermanos y hermanas que se han
dormido en la esperanza de la resurrección. Se colocara el
"Libro de conmemoración" en un atril, junto a la mesa, en la
parte de atrás de la iglesia, el 31 de octubre. Los invito a
escribir los nombres de sus familiares y amigos en este libro y
oraremos por ellos en todas las Misas durante el mes de
Noviembre. También tendremos una Misa de Conmemoración
el Miércoles, 11 de Noviembre a las 5:15pm. Nuestra Capilla
de Adoración perpetua es uno de sólo cuatro puntos de la
Diócesis de Charlotte en tener 24 horas de Adoración
Perpetua. Si desea reservar un tiempo especial para pasar
tiempo en oración con nuestro Señor, por favor llame a
Melanie y Dave King al 828-638-0462. Muchas gracias por su
generosidad en este fin de semana a la segunda colecta para la
Jornada Mundial de las misiones.
En cristo, Fr. Larry LoMonaco
Venta de Fruta
Los caballeros de Colón están llevando su venta
anual de fruta: naranjas, toronjas y fruta mixta.
Si usted quiere ordenar favor de contactar a un
miembro de los caballeros de Colón o pude llenar una forma que
está en la mesa que esta en el pasillo. La fruta será entregada
alrededor de la primera semana de Diciembre. Si tiene preguntas
favor de contactar a Eric Ruffner al 324-2917
Solemnidad de Todos Los Santos
Primero de Noviembre, es el Día de Todos los
Santos, un día Solemne. A medida que cae en
Domingo. Se celebrará en la Misa regular del
Domingo a la 1pm. El Padre Nohé celebrara la misa
de Conmemoración a los Fieles difuntos el Lunes, 2
de Noviembre a las 6:00pm en la Iglesia.
Adoración Perpetua
El inmenso sacrificio que nuestro Señor Jesús hizo por
nosotros, al morir en la cruz, no se puede comparar con
nada. ¿Cómo es que nosotros podemos pagarle un poco,
de su sacrificio? Tal vez convirtiéndonos en soldados de
oración ¿Por qué no pasar una hora la semana con él? Si
tu siente en su corazón que quieres pasar tiempo con Jesús, por favor
ponte en contacto con Dave y Melanie King al 828-638-0462 o por correo
electrónico [email protected] o visite nuestra pagina parroquial al
staloysiushickory.org/parishioners/forms.
La capilla siempre esta en
necesidad de dos Adoradores por hora. Pero por ahora la necesidad
inmediata es en las siguientes horas: Lunes de 3-4pm
¡Gracias y que
Dios los bendiga!

feel they may have a calling to the priesthood and
encourage them to continue to explore that call.
WHAT’S HAPPENING

Remember: Children in Kindergarten through 2nd Grade
must be walked in and picked up by a parent. No child will

PERPETUAL ADORATION
Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults is
available to anyone who wants to learn more
about the Catholic faith, either non-baptized,
baptized in a different faith tradition, or
baptized Catholic with no further faith
formation. You may just want to come and sit
in for two or three sessions at first, just to
see what it’s about. That’s great – drop in, no obligation, no
commitment, your presence is all that’s required at first. We meet
on Wednesday evenings from 7:00 – 8:15 in the Parlor. This
Wednesday’s topic is: “Grace and Virtue.” If you would like more
information, please call Monica Ebelhack at 327-2341.
The immeasurable sacrifice that our Lord JESUS did, dying on the
cross to save the world, cannot compare to any. How can we give
back? Maybe by becoming one of God’s Prayer Warriors at the
Adoration Chapel, spending one Holy Hour a week. The Chapel
is always in need of two or more Adorers every hour. If you feel
you’re being called, please contact Dave and Melanie King at 828638-0462, email [email protected], or go to our parish
website to sign up staloysiushickory.org/parishioners/forms. Right
now we have one Holy Hour vacant: Mondays 3PM-4PM. Thank
you and may God be with us all.
“To save one life,” the Talmud teaches us, “is to save the world.”
This is the essence of Commandment 5: The Law of Life. “You
shall not kill” Exodus 20:13. This lesson is from our ongoing
series, “The Ten Commandments / Laws of the Heart” by Sr.
Joan Chittister. Join us at 9:15-10:30 on Sunday mornings for
prayer, the lesson and discussion. Each class is a stand alone
lesson ~ come when you can. Next week: October 25th ~ No
Class! Join us on November 1st for the “Law of Commitment.”
Events: Halloween Social, Trunk-or-Treat
Turkey Bowl, Christmas Tree Sales
