This weekend, we will have a Special Collection for World Mission Sunday. It is a day set aside for Catholics worldwide to recommit themselves to the Church’s missionary activity through prayer and sacrifice. As described by Pope John Paul II, World Mission Sunday is “an important day in the life of the Church because it teaches how to give: as an offering made to God, in the Eucharistic celebration and all the missions of the world.”
Envelopes are in the pews for your use. There will not be a second collection, but instead, we ask that you include your offering in the special envelope with the regular collection. Thank you!

MASS SCHEDULE & INTENTIONS FROM OUR PASTOR
Tuesday, October 22nd is the optional memorial for Saint John Paul II, Pope. It’s a rare treat for us to be able to celebrate a saint that was alive here on earth during our own lifetimes! If you ever met Saint John Paul II (with tens of thousands of your closest and dearest friends in St. Peter’s Square), have a
special place in your heart for the author of The Theology of the Body, or have some extra time this week, I hope you will be able to come to our 6 pm Mass that day as we remember our Polish Pope. (The Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick will follow for those who are ill). I look forward to seeing many of you at our Senior Mass and Lunch this Thursday at 11 am. Mass at 11 am—if you can’t stay for lunch that’s fine! The theme is apples, a perfect Autumn item.
Dear Parish Family & Friends,
Peace and all good,
Fr. Steve Giannini

If you are interested, please contact Sue LaRue, [email protected], for more information.
It Takes A Parish….
On September 14, 2019, over 50 of our parish ministry leaders gathered together for a Pastoral Planning Day. Our objective was to review each ministry’s mission in the light of Communication, Stewardship and Evangelization with a special emphasis on youth.
In April 2019, Pope Francis released Christus Vivit (Christ is Alive), an Exhortation to young people and to the entire people of God. In it he writes;
“The Community has an important role in accompaniment of young people; it should feel collectively respon-sible for accepting, motivating, encouraging and challenging them.” CV 243 “If we journey together, young and old…together, we can learn from one another, warm hearts, inspire minds with the light of the Gospel, and lend new strength to our hands.” CV 199 And in Section 206, he says “motivated by this spirit (journeying together) we can move towards a participatory and co-responsible Church…no one should be excluded or exclude themselves.”
With the Holy Father’s urging and scripture (particularly Romans 12:1-18) as a call, our parish ministries discussed and outlined ways in which we as parish family can accompany each other to utilize our gifts, learn from each other and serve side by side.
We thank all those who participated in this morning of reflection, commitment and action. Now we call upon all our brothers and sisters of our parish family to join us and commit to reach out, listen, invite, encourage and support each other, young and old.
This may require us to move out of our comfort zone and embrace our awkward feelings or preconceived ideas, but through the promptings and support of the Holy Spirit, we can accept this challenge and continue to foster a beautiful expression of Christ’s love here at Saints Francis and Clare of Assisi Parish.
Christ is alive!
