INFORMATIONAL UPDATE
We are currently updating the information we have on
file for our parishioners. We all know that today’s socie-
ty is a fast paced society and things are constantly
changing and improving. We have come to realize that
people no longer have land line phones, P.O. Boxes, or
have moved which makes it very difficult for us to con-
tact parishioners. Please fill out an informational sheet
(one per family). This is not a membership form. This is
only to update necessary information we use in the par-
ish office. If you have any questions please call the of-
fice at 879-2141.
MARCH FOR LIFE 2016
March for Life in Washington DC will be held January

this event. Information packets and registration forms
are available at the rectory.
FALL BAKE SALE
A Fall Bake Sale will be the weekend of October 24 &
25 after all Masses at Holy
Trinity Parish. All proceeds
to benefit the 8th Grade
class trip to Cedar Point.
WE REMEMBER FR. JOSEPH ROACH The Reverend Joseph W. Roach, a senior priest of the

On Monday, November 2, we will celebrate The
Feast of All Souls. We will again remember and cel-
ebrate all those who were honored with a Mass of
Christian burial from our church during the past year.
This is a beautiful candlelight service which for many
will be a great comfort and closure to their loss. We
would like to include this year, members of your im-
mediate family, that have also died since last Novem-
ber 2, but were not buried from our parish. Their
name will not be included on the banner that will
hang up front for the month of November, but we will
call off their name and a candle will be carried for-
ward by a family member, as we call the names of
those from our parish listed on the banner. If you
would like your loved one included in this special re-
membrance Mass, and they have passed on within
the last year, please call the rectory office and give
us the name of the person to be included on our list.

LAYER UPON LAYER
For the next few weeks Holy Trinity will have articles in
the bulletin concerning the abuses of Planned
Parenthood which are taken from a Michigan Right to
Life newsletter sent to us recently.
Planned Parenthood, under another name, was founded
by Margaret Sanger in 1916. It was her ultimate goal to
eliminate certain groups of people that she deemed to be
“human weeds,” “reckless breeders,” or “human beings
who never should have been born.”
Her scheme to eliminate the “unfit” included compulsory
sterilizations and even forcing certain groups of people to
a lifetime of farm work. She despised anyone of a reli-
gious bent, especially the Catholic Church because of
their opposition to her agenda.
This woman once wrote, “The most merciful thing that a
large family does to one of its infant members is kill it,” is
still recognized as a great American hero among the
ranks of Planned Parenthood leaders.
Today, Planned Parenthood operates more than 700
centers across the country promoting their philosophy.
More abuses will be shared through the month of Octo-
ber.
Following are opportunities where you may show your
support for life.
*This year’s cross display, to remember the unborn de-
prived of their right to life, will be erected at People’s
Baptist Church, 701 W Midland Street, Bay City. Cross-
es will be displayed through October 24.
*A Diocesan Respect Life Mass will be held Sunday, Oc-
tober 11. See page 2 for more details.
*On Tuesday, October 20, at 7:00 p.m. Bishop Cistone
will celebrate a special Mass in remembrance of babies
who have died in the womb, “Let the Little Children
Come to Me” and to pray for parents and families who
have suffered the pain of miscarriage and stillbirth. The
Mass will be held at St. John Vianney Church in Sagi-
naw. All are welcome.
*Rachel’s Vineyard weekend retreat are a beautiful op-
portunity for any person who has struggled with the emo-
tional or spiritual pain of an abortion. The retreat is a
very specific process designed to help someone experi-
ence the mercy and compassion of God. It offers many
exercises to help them grieve the loss of their unborn
child. It concludes with a Memorial Service. The retreat
and registration are strictly private. All inquiries are an-
swered confidentially. The next retreat in our area is No-
vember 13-15, 2015. For more information on any of the
diocese events, please contact Lori Becker, Respect Life
Coordinator through the diocese at 989-799-7910.
Please make sure that we pray that there will be an end
to abortion and that our elected officials will take this
theme to heart

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 love.
Our relationships on earth are meant to help us and oth-
ers grow in perfect love. We are meant to depend on
one another, serve each other in humility and walk to-
gether in times of suffering.
An elderly man whose health is quickly deteriorating; an
unborn baby girl whose diagnose indicates she may not
live very long; a little boy with Down syndrome; a mother
facing terminal cancer, each may have great difficulties
and need assistance, but each of their lives is a good
and perfect life.
Experiencing suffering, or watching another suffer, is
one of the hardest human experiences. But we are not
alone. Christ experienced suffering more deeply than
we can comprehend, and our own suffering can be
meaningful when we unite it with his.
Jesus is with us every step of the way, giving us the
grace we need. God invites us to embrace the lives we
have been given, for as long as they are given. Every
life is worth living.
