TH 28TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

OCTOBER 9TH, 2011

PRAYERS FOR THE DECEASED: We pray for our loved ones who have died recently. PRAYERS FOR THE SICK AND SHUT-IN: Let us raise up in prayer those who seek Gods healing love, those at the hospital, hospice and at home especially Pat Preen, John Albert, Joan Faye Prince and Gladys McNulty. May your struggle be consoled by Christs love.

ON OUR WAY WITH JESUS: Our annual program to assist parents in the preparation of their children for the sacraments of Reconciliation and Eucharist is about to begin. Registration forms are available at the parish office. We would ask that parents make every effort to register as soon as possible.

Our first family meeting is on Monday, Oct. 24th at 7:30 p.m. in the church. INTRODUCTION OF NEW SUNG MASS SETTING - REVISED ROMAN MISSAL
REVISION OF THE ROMAN MISSAL Attached to this weekend's bulletin is a copy of the revised texts of the people's parts in the revised Roman Missal. Please take the time to review and pray over these texts which we will start using November 26/27. Next weekend we will begin using the new sung Mass setting of the revised Roman Missal. Between now and then you can familiarize yourself with the music by listening to it on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=RCqyIdtTFmg "And With Your Spirit"

In the new translation of The Roman Missal, one of the most noticeable changes comes in the short dialogue repeated four times during Mass: The Lord be with you. / And with your spirit. The peoples response is a more accurate translation of the Latin Et cum spiritu tuo. This translation also help us to see the dialogues roots in scripture. For example, in the letter to the Galatians, Saint Paul writes, The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers and sisters (6:18, NRSV; see also Philippians 4:23 and Philemon 25). Saint Paul is speaking of the special gifts of the Holy Spirit poured out upon them. In the liturgy, this dialogue is only used when an ordained minister presides. Some of the early Church Fathers interpreted this as an allusion to the gift of the Spirit given by Christ in the Sacrament of Holy Orders. At the beginning of Mass, at the reading of the Gospel, at the beginning of the Eucharistic Prayer, and just before the blessing and dismissal, priest and people exchange this dialogue of prayer, seeking the Lords presence in our midst. OCTOBER IS WORLD MISSION MONTH orld Mission Sunday is on October 23rd this year. This is a world wide collection for the missionary church that provides emergency aid when disasters strike, cares for refugees in war torn nations, and provides rural health clinics and transportation for priests, catechists, religious and lay pastoral workers. It provides financial support for the daily needs of all missionaries. Please pray for the missions and be generous on World Mission Sunday.

BEREAVEMENT GROUP will not meet this week due to Thanksgiving.
