     Next weekend, our Lithuanian parishioners along with many in the Lithuanian Community in the Cleveland area will gather together to celebrate Lithuanian Days. This annual autumn event is a celebration of the Lithuanian culture. Saturday evening is the celebration of Lithuanian music, friendship and fellowship, and Sunday morning at our 10:00 Mass is a celebration of Catholic Faith.

     Since Lithuania regained its freedom with the fall of the Soviet Union, there has been tremendous growth in culture in Lithuania. And so Lithuanian Days here has adjusted its focus to not only remember the past but also to make them a celebration of life today.

     An important part of our Lithuanian culture is our Catholic Faith that was suppressed for a half century. Over the years in this country, we have seen a great number of Lithuanian communities that were anchored by a Catholic Parish disband with the closing of Parishes, leaving only a small remnant of primarily older people. I believe that we are very fortunate here in Cleveland to have our parish dedicated to serve as an anchor to our Lithuanian community. The Lithuanian Community in Cleveland is made up of people of all ages, who were born here in the United States and in Lithuania.

     Next weekend I look forward to welcoming all of you home here at St. Casimir’s. I want everyone to know that this is your parish and I invite your participation in the life of the Parish Community. Remember that the more of you who participate fully in the life of the Parish, the stronger our community becomes. We are here to meet your spiritual and cultural needs, and we can only do this when you are here. Welcome home and may God Bless you!   

                                             God Bless! Fr. Joe Bacevice

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.

PRAY FOR OUR DEAD

 

We ask you to remember in your prayers the following who have died and were buried from our Parish: Ilona Soltesz, Frances Virant and Richard Fortenbaugh. May they have eternal rest in the peace of God’s Kingdom.

 

SONG LEADERS WANTED

 

We are looking for individuals who would like to be song leaders at our Masses. Whether you can participate every week, or only occasionally, we invite you to join in and help make St. Casimir a singing parish. If you are interested, contact either Fr. Bacevice or Roma Bandza, or better yet, come up to the choir loft 15 minutes before Mass. (9:30am for those coming to the 10:00 Mass)

 

PASTORAL COUNCIL

 

We are looking for a few good people to run for a seat on our Pastoral Council. Application forms are available in the Book Room. Applications will be accepted until October 27th. Any member of the parish, age 16 and older, with a few exceptions, is eligible to run for a seat on the Pastoral Council. We invite you to seriously consider serving on this important council in our Parish.

 

MISSION SUNDAY

 

Next Sunday is World Mission Sunday, that day all of us are asked to support the missionary efforts of the Church throughout the world. We do this by praying for the success of our missionaries and by contributing to support their work. We invite you to participate in this effort by donating to the Mission Sunday appeal. Please use the envelopes provided for this appeal next weekend.

 

PRIESTHOOD SUNDAY

 

Catholics across the country will be celebrating Priesthood Sunday on October 26, 2014. It is a day set aside to celebrate the importance of the gift of priesthood in the life of the Church. It is a time for us to reflect on the ministry that our priests share with us when we gather at the Table of the Lord – when we call in our times of need. Consider sharing a personal note or a card of thanks. Together we pray that many of our young people will be inspired by the ministry and witness of our priests. May their hearts be open to hearing and responding to God’s call in their lives. More information on priesthood can be found on the website: www.clevelandcatholicpriesthood.com
