ROSARY The month of October is the month of the Rosary. During this month we will pray one decade of the Rosary at the end of each Sunday Mass. I encourage you to say at least one decade of the Rosary each day during the month of October together with your family.

“May the Rosary always be in your hands”.

Message of Our Lady from Medjugorje, February 25, 1988.

Saint Pedro Calungsod Saint Pedro Calungsod (c. 1654 - April 2, 1672) is a Filipino Roman Catholic martyr who was killed while doing missionary work in Guam in 1672. He was beatified on March 5, 2000, by Pope John Paul II. As a skilled sacristan and teacher of catechism,

he was a companion of Blessed Diego Luis de San Vitores to the Marianas Islands. Through their efforts, many received the sacraments especially that of baptism. A plot to kill Pedro and San Vitores started when a certain Choco, a Chinese who gained influence over the Macanas of Marianas Island, circulated false accusations that the missionaries were spreading poison through the ritual of the pouring of water (i.e. baptism), and through the ritual of Catholic Masses. Calungsod and Diego San Vitores were both murdered after baptizing an infant and mother who converted to the Roman Catholic faith. Because of his association with the Chamorro natives of Guam, he is often portrayed with a Crucifix, Catechist book, and a Palm leaf. Calungsod is the second Filipino saint after San Lorenzo Ruiz if approved by the Pope and the Holy See. Canonized by Pope Benedict XVI on October 21, 2012

Sacramental Marriage It has come to my attention that many couples in our parish who are free to marry in the Catholic Church have chosen to live in a civil marriage or common-law relationship. As your pastor I strongly encourage you to contact me as soon as possible to explore the possibility of receiving the Blessing of the Church through the Sacrament of Marriage. Please know this will be held in the strictest confidence when calling the parish office or emailing to stjpastor@shaw.ca

ONLY

3 MONTHS

LEFT Please return your Sharing God’s Gifts envelope with your financial contribution to the office via the collection basket or mail it to the parish office as soon as possible.

We appeal to all parishioners to support this Appeal but especially to those who have never contributed!!!

Today, for World Mission Sunday, along with

Catholics throughout the world, we are called to offer our prayers and generous financial

support, through the Propagation of the Faith, for the worldwide mission of Jesus. Your gift on World Mission Sunday helps:

People in remote villages, towns and cities through the witness and work of missionaries and local priests.

Children, the elderly, refugees, the sick and orphans through the service of Religious Sisters

and Brothers. To bring the Gospel to the poorest of our human family.

Catechists proclaim the message of hope and peace that only Christ can give.

Please offer prayers for the work of the

church in the missions today–the Pacific Islands, Latin America, Africa and Asia. And please be as

generous as you can today, for World Mission Sunday.

The Church sets aside the

month of November to remind

us to pray for our faithful

departed. I hope many of you

pray daily throughout the year

for your beloved dead, and for

all who have preceded you into

the life to come. Every day, and

in each Mass offered, the Church remembers those

already in heaven as well as those now being made ready

and fit for God’s glory. By your prayers and good works,

and by the offering of Holy Mass, you do assist those you

love who have left this life before you.

During changes in the Church we hear less of the

urgency to pray for the Souls in Purgatory. Often we

hear people say they are most certain their relative or a

friend has gone straight to Heaven! Who knows? They

lived such a good life and suffered so much from a long

illness, but even so, who are we to say this for certain?

Never forget that the most precious gift we can give souls

departed is to have Mass offered for someone who has

just died.

To satisfy our desire to help our deceased Loved

Ones participate in God's light, happiness and peace 12

Masses will be offered during the whole coming year –

starting on All Souls’ Day; November 2.

Special envelopes are attached to this bulletin for

those who wish to have their deceased Loved Ones

remembered in special prayers on All Soul’s Day and

throughout the year.

Please PRINT names CLEARLY in BLOCK letters

and return through the Sunday collection basket or to the

parish office no later than October 30.

Please indicate the Mass you will attend (9:30 am or

7:00 pm). Names will be included at your choice of Mass

time if indicated. If not they will be read at the Mass with

the least names.
