24th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Hello and happy Twenty-Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time to all!
This weekend we welcome Luke Bland, who is a seminarian for the
Diocese of Tulsa, OK and has been assigned to St. Bridget for the
academic year. By a way of introduction he writes:
My name is Luke Bland, and I'm from
the Diocese of Tulsa. I was raised
in the Methodist Church but as a
teenager I walked away from the
faith. While in college at the
University of Tulsa I entered full
communion with the Catholic
Church when I received the
Sacrament of Confirmation on
Easter Sunday 2018. Important to
my conversion was meeting well-
rounded Catholics who knew and
loved God and His Church, on-fire
FOCUS missionaries, studying
philosophy, and the beauty of the
Catholic Church's traditional liturgy. For
leisure, I enjoy film photography,
reading, playing guitar, and ultimate
frisbee.
Luke will be joining us on Sunday mornings at the 8:00am and
10:00am Masses in order to get a taste of “parish life” as part of
Kenrick-Glennon Seminary’s pastoral formation program. Please
offer him a warm “St Bridget Welcome.” (By the way, you can just
call him “Luke.”)
As you may have seen in the bulletin or FlockNote, beginning
Monday evening at 7:00pm in the cafeteria, I am offering a
course called “The Sacraments: God’s Greatest Gifts to Us.” I
know how important it has been in my own life to learn more about
our Catholic Faith, because the more I have come to understand,
the more I love and desire to live our Faith! For this reason, one
of the greatest joys I have in priesthood is sharing what I have
learned.
I decided to focus on the Sacraments, because the Sacraments
are truly unique to Catholicism (only Catholics believe in all seven
Sacraments), and they are the most direct ways that God
regularly imparts a share in His life (grace) to us. Understanding
and receiving the Sacraments well is essential for holiness, and
my hope is that something I teach will help deepen your
understanding and love for our Lord in His Sacraments.
“Classes” are rather informal: no registration, no textbook. Just
show up! I will usually have some handouts to follow along or take
notes, if you desire.
The first two weeks will be an overview about what a Sacrament
is and why the Sacraments are important, and then we will study
each of the seven Sacraments in particular.
My plan is to meet every Monday at 7:00pm from now until the
end of November. I plan to go for about an hour each week. (Any
later gets close to my bedtime!) Look in each weekend’s bulletin
for that upcoming Monday’s topic. I hope that you are able to join
us!
Finally, please note that there is no 8:00am Mass this Friday
morning.
Have a blessed day!
In Christ,
Fr Burkemper
Apple Butter!
We are in need of donations for pint canning jars or lids and
rings for the jars. We will also need sugar donations. Sign up
sheets in the back. If you have anything you can donate,
please bring it by the parish office.
Instead of a traditional Bible Study curriculum, we are
going to read and discuss “Interior Castle” by St. Teresa
of Avila. If you are interested in attending or have any
questions about the book or the class, please reach out to
me at mmeadg@outlook.com. We will meet in the
cafeteria, beginning on October 6 at 6PM.
Deacon Mike
DEACON’S CORNER
Q. What does the Church teach about astrology and isn’t it
just a harmless pastime?
A. The Catholic Church teaches that astrology
(not astronomy) is superstitious nonsense. None of it is really
harmless because there is always the danger of beginning to
take it seriously, if, by coincidence, something should happen
that the astrologer predicted. The real danger begins the
moment someone begins to entertain the thought that “there
might be something in this”. There are many gullible people in
this world who believe that some star billions or trillions of
miles away could have an influence in their lives. Just think
of cases of identical twins which have completely different
personalities, although they were born within minutes of each
other. The end of this road is complete abandonment of
truth, reason and religion. In the Hebrew Scriptures (Old
Testament—Deut. 18:10-11), the Jews were told never to
consult an astrologer (fortune teller) under penalty of
death. Catholics are bound in conscience to have nothing to
do with astrology—nothing. Anything that leads someone
away from God and His Teachings will only lead to Satan and
astrology will certainly lead someone away from God. Deacon
Mike can be reached at MMEADG@outlook.com.

17th with the Fall Festival, Please sign up in
