On
October 8, 2013, Pope
Francis announced that in
October 2014 there would be
an Extraordinary General
Assembly of the Synod of
Bishops on topics related to
the family and
evangelization. Subsequent
communications made clear
that the Extraordinary
General Assembly would be
followed by an Ordinary
General Assembly of the
Synod of Bishops in October
2015, on the same topics.
The
theme of this gathering is
"the pastoral challenges of
the family in the context of
evangelization." Our Holy
Father has asked for prayers
from the faithful as this
gathering of Bishops
explores the challenges
facing families today.
A copy of this prayer
is included with this
bulletin.
God Bless!

ALL SAINTS DAY AND ALL SOULS
DAY
Saturday,
November 1st is the Feast of All Saints. This
year, because it falls on a
Saturday, All Saints day
is not a Holy Day of Obligation. Sunday, November 2nd,
is the Commemoration of All Souls, the day we remember our
dead. The weekend Masses will be the All Souls Day Masses.
There will be no evening
commemoration of All Souls this year. However, an All Souls
Day envelope is included with the offering envelopes with
space to include the names of the dead you want to be
remembered at the Mass and in prayers during the entire
month of November. Please return your envelope by November 2nd.

The Review Board for the
Diocese of Cleveland needs two members: an individual with
experience in investigations, and a survivor of child sexual
abuse who has completed a course of treatment. The Review
Board advises the Bishop of Cleveland on keeping children
safe from sexual abuse and examines allegations of sexual
abuse of minors by clerics.
Consider applying for the
Review Board if you have an abiding interest in young
people, and are an independent thinker, self-motivated, and
able to make a significant time commitment. Members are from
varied life experiences who are in full communion with the
Catholic Church. A term is five years.
