You grow spiritually with each moment you spend with Jesus!
FROM THE PASTOR Dear parishioners, Today Jesus tells us that we
must be servants of all in order to be great in His kingdom. James
and John were seeking to have a special place in His kingdom but
Jesus tells them it involves much suffering. Let us be servants of
all and offer our sufferings up for the sake of the kingdom of God.
If anyone wants to begin a bible study or start some particular
ministry in the parish please give me a call. I am here to enable
you to do such things. If everybody does something, then we can do
a lot together. The work on the bell tower is coming along nicely.
It should be finished soon. I was talking with Fr. Joseph Brennan
the other day. He told me that Msgr. Bourgeois made the church
without front doors so that people would not leave church early.
They would have to go through the side doors in front of a bunch of
people which might deter them. Msgr. Teurlings use to send the
altar boys with candles after somebody leaving church early because
they still had Jesus within them. That would truly be a deterrent.
Sincerely in Christ,
Fr. Thomas VoorhiesFr. Tom’s Joke of the Week

Respect Life Month 2015 ~ “Every Life is Worth Living”Whether it
lasts for a brief moment or for a hundred years, each of our lives
is a good and perfect gift. At every stage and in every
circumstance, we are held in existence
by God’s Love. Abortion and “Personhood”
Abortion continues to deny the inalienable, God-given right to
life first mentioned in our Declaration of Independence.If a
“fetus” is wanted by the mother, the unborn child is a
person----invariably a very cherished person, as is very evident
from attending any baby shower!However, if the mother does not want
the child, our law says the unborn child is not a person and
therefore has no legal protection whatsoever.Does this make any
sense?Personhood of a child cannot and should not be dependent on
the will and wishes of anyone. The unborn child is, or is not a
person as a matter of common sense and science, regardless of
someone’s will or wishes.Under our current law, “wanted” babies are
protected; “unwanted” babies are slaughtered.

PARISHIONERS FOR LIFE: MOTIVATING MEMBERS TO HELP END
ABORTION
Upcoming Prayer CampaignsOctober 14th-22nd: Novena to St. John
Paul II
October 17th- 25th: Novena for Priests, leading to Priesthood
Sunday
To download a copy of the prayers recited during these times,
please visit our website under the
section “Parishioners for Life.”The Triumph of Life
“As today’s pro-life community often is, Paul was regularly
ridiculed: indeed, he suffered far worse than ridicule, for the
truth about God, God’s law, and the natural law makes many
uncomfortable.
Those who resist God’s law don’t want to be reminded of its
demands. This is no less true in our time than in Paul’s. And so we
pray for the conversion of those whose hearts have been
made hard by the sin of abortion and the sin of its propagation.
We pray for the courage and
persistence of St. Paul, as we endeavor to spread the Gospel of
Life. We pray for the triumph of life”
(Cardinal William Keeler, January 22, 2006).
