Stanislaus Church, 3649 E 65th St. Afterwards, you are invited to
a reception in the Social Center to meet the Bishop. This event is being

will be offered at 7:30am (Engl.), 12:00 noon (Engl.) and 7:00pm (Lith.).
Following the evening Mass we will have the traditional Lithuanian All Souls
procession and prayers for the dead. We invite the families who have lost a
loved one since last November 2nd, to participate in the
commemoration. 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 in the Masses.

Over the past several weeks I have placed an announcement in the bulletin
asking for volunteers to run for a seat on our Parish Pastoral Council. As of
today, we have received no applications.
Our Pastoral Council is the most important advisory group I have in the
parish. The Pastoral Council advises me on all aspects of parish life, from
making up Mass schedules to setting priorities for property repairs and
improvements. Every year we elect four members and I appoint one member for a
two year term. Two members of the Council must be from the Lithuanian community
and two members must be from the non-Lithuanian community. They can be
re-elected once before they are ineligible for one year.
This year, one member is ineligible to run for another term. I am sure that
there are at least four members of our parish who would be willing to serve on
the council. The application process is easy. Application forms are available
in the Book Room and we would like all applications submitted by Sunday, October
29th.
It is easier to sit back and watch or to complain and criticize. It takes
effort and commitment to become involved in the life of the parish. Being able
to make a difference and be involved in Parish Life is a rewarding experience
and worth the effort that goes into it. I invite and encourage you to fill out
an application.
God Bless! Fr. Joe Bacevice |

SPEND TIME WITH THE LORD
 Wednesday, October 11th,
we will have our monthly Eucharistic Adoration from 6-9 pm. All are invited
to stop in and spend some time in quiet prayer before the Blessed Sacrament.
We encourage you to make a commitment to spend a specific time in prayer on
these days. If you are able to make such a commitment, please sign up in the
Book Room.
2017 CALAMITIES DONATIONS
This weekend and next,
we are accepting donations for the 2017 Calamities, requested by the
National Bishops’ Conference. This money will be used to assist in the
rebuilding of Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands after Hurricane Maria and
Mexico City after the earthquake. Envelopes for this are at the entrances to
the Church.
WELCOME
This weekend we extend
a welcome to Lithuanian Scouts from all over the United States and Canada
for their annual Mystery Hunt (Paslapčių Ieškonė)
through Cleveland. We wish them and their families an enjoyable stay and an
exciting time in Cleveland. During their visit here this weekend there may
be some parking congestion issues, especially in our Marcella Road lot.
OCTOBER COUNT
During the first two
weeks of October, every parish in our diocese conducts the annual “October
Count,” when we count the number of people who come to each Mass. This
information is sent to the diocese and is used along with the numbers on our
parish register to determine how well we as Church are practicing our faith.
The results of these statistics is also used to help determine where we need
to improve our practices, how our priests and deacons are distributed, helps
us set priorities for programs, and helps determine the future of our
individual parishes.
