Holy Redeemer Catholic Church
Our Mission Statement: The mission of Holy Redeemer Parish is to be a Catholic community centered in Christ as revealed through the Holy Scripture, Sacred Tradition and the Church's teaching authority. The Holy Spirit empowers us to reach out and build God's Kingdom as we worship, educate, serve and evangelize.
Paul urged Timothy to offer “supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings … for everyone” (1 Timothy 2:1), and so we shall do today as part of our worship together. Welcome!
29th Sunday in Ordinary Time What does it mean to “serve” others? Does it mean becoming a doormat, always doing what everyone wants you to do? Is it possible to “serve” someone by NOT helping them or NOT doing what they ask? Does it mean you should always do whatever is asked of you regardless of how it might impact your own life and family responsibilities? Think about what it means to serve others. Consider how well you serve others. Do you think about what is the loving thing to do or do you just jump and do “something?” Do you need to change anything?
Anyone among you who aspires to greatness
must serve the rest. ~Mark 10:43

St. Joseph Faithful Protector During this Year of St. Joseph, he shows us how to say “yes” to life, despite our own fears, frailties, and weaknesses. For it is Joseph who was chosen by God to guide the beginnings of the history of redemption. He was the true ‘miracle’ by which God saves the child and his mother. May we, too, be miracles in the lives of those who are most in need, especially at the beginning and end of life. ~from the Archdiocese
Second Collection Next Week Next weekend we will celebrate World Mission Sunday. Pope Francis invites the entire Church to support mission dioceses in Africa, Asia, the Pacific Islands and parts of Latin America and
Europe where priests, religious and lay leaders serve the world’s most vulnerable communities. Please keep the Pope’s missions in your prayers and be generous in next week’s collection for the Society for the Propagation of the Faith.

Going to extremes
When a herd of elephants ventured into a town in eastern India, people chased them away. But soon they learned that a baby elephant had fallen into a 30-foot well and been left behind. Workers had to use three backhoes to free the calf, breaking down the brick well and digging a sloping trench for the youngster to walk out on.
Righting a wrong — and even saving a life — may require extreme measures. A structure holding someone captive may need to be torn down. And in many cases, it’s better to allow the trapped one as much independence and agency as possible. Rather than hoisting the elephant out vertically, which might have been dangerous and traumatic, helpers made a path so it could take part in attaining its freedom.
God often works like this, restoring and equipping us to partner with him. How can we assist others while granting them the dignity of being part of the solution?
~Heidi Hyland Mann
One way Satan attacks Christians is by reminding us of our sins, both of commission (wrongdoing) and omission (neglecting to do right). And one way we can fight back is by remembering our baptism. The reformer Martin Luther recommended pondering that sacrament daily, whenever we wash our face, because “in baptism sins
are drowned.”
Getting dressed can serve as another frequent reminder, Luther says, because baptism is the “daily garment … the Christian is to wear all the time.” He writes, “Christ instituted holy baptism … to clothe you with his righteousness. It is tantamount to his saying, ‘My righteousness shall be your righteousness; my innocence, your innocence. Your sins indeed are great, but by baptism I bestow on you my righteousness; I strip death from you and clothe you with my life.”

Religious Exemption
No letters can be written by priests or other Church officials to support an individual’s request for religious exemption. This is because the matter is strictly between the employee and the employer. Also, no Church official can state that receiving the vaccination is contrary to moral teachings of the Church, given the moral guidance provided by the Church as referenced above. Individuals can be directed to use National Catholic Bioethics Center materials as reference to craft their own letters of conscientious objection. ~Excerpt from the Archdiocese
Mark Your Calendars Father will be saying Mass on Tuesday, November 2nd at 9am for All Souls Day. Christmas decorating will be the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Come join the fun Nov 27th! We can use colored outdoor LED lights.
These general intercessions were composed from the Litany of St. Joseph. They focus on some of the titles and charisms attributed to St. Joseph.
Illustrious son of David, Following the example of St. Joseph, may we strive to live a virtuous life and give witness to the faith in all that we do.
Light of Patriarchs As St. Joseph was a light of faith, may we too radiate the light of Christ in our families and in our work.
