FALL FUND RAISER

Our Eighth Annual Clambake/Steak Bake/Autumn Raffle will take place on Saturday, October 27th, beginning after the 5:30 Mass in our upper hall. Raffle tickets are now available at the back of the Church. All parishioners are asked to pick up their envelope with Raffle tickets, as this will save us the cost of mailing them to everyone.   
     This year we are using a new caterer and are able to lower the prices and improve the quality of our food. In addition to great food, there will be plenty of refreshments, a basket auction, split raffles, and much more. Dinner tickets will be available after Labor Day.
     We invite everyone to participate in this fund raiser to support our parish. We are also looking for volunteers to help with this project. Set up, clean up, bakers, and other volunteer positions need to be filled. Please sign up in the Book Room to help us out. We look forward to seeing everyone on October 27th.

PROGRAM BOOK

Again this year, we are printing a program book for our Fall Fund Raiser. Parishioners, Parish Organizations, and businesses are invited to advertise or send their greetings showing support for our Parish.  An ad can be placed in the book for as little as $10. Ad forms are in everyone’s ticket envelope. Additional forms are available at the back of the church. Everyone is invited to participate.

PRISON MINISTRY

The Diocesan Ministry to the Incarcerated distributes zip-lock bags filled with helpful items for those who are indigent and incarcerated. Items can be purchased through the prison commissary, but many inmates do not have the funds to do so. Items needed are: shampoo and conditioner (travel size), bar soap, body wash, lotion, packets of tissue and white socks for men and women. If you would like to donate these items, contact Father Bacevice or Laura at the rectory office.

     For the past several weeks, the Sunday Gospel tells of Jesus explaining that He is the Bread of Life. Hearing His words: “Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood...” and “For my flesh is real food and my blood is true drink...” was and is a challenge.
 

     The Gospel this weekend concludes this with what I call “decision time.” Can the disciples accept his words? The answer was a resounding NO. It’s not just a few who can’t accept this teaching, but John tells us that “many of his disciples returned to their former way of life and no longer accompanied Jesus.” This probably came as a shock to Jesus, as these were the people who had accepted and followed him through his teaching, his healings, and his miracles.
 

     So Jesus addresses the twelve apostles: “Do you also want to leave?” Peter, speaking for the twelve, answers: “Where can we go? You have the words of Eternal Life. We have come to believe and are convinced that you are the Holy One of God.” The Twelve are committed.
 

     What about you? Are you ready to accept this? Are you ready to take a stand? Many times it is difficult to make such a commitment, especially when the all too human side of the Church comes out. When faced with scandal and disappointment, is your faith strong enough to follow Peter’s answer: Where can I go? You have the words of Eternal Life. You are the Holy One of God.

 

 God Bless ! Fr. Joe Bacevice
