ALL SOULS DAY and CANDLES
 Friday,
November 2nd, is the Feast of All Souls,
the day we remember our dead. Three traditional All Souls Day Masses will be
offered: 7:30am (EN), 12:00 noon (EN) and 7:00pm (LT). 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.
In addition, we have ALL SOULS DAY CANDLES, which can be
inscribed with the name of the deceased you want remembered. These candles
will burn for 5 days beginning on November 2nd. The donation for
each All Souls Day candle is $5. For your convenience, candle request
envelopes can be found at the church entrances. We invite everyone to
participate.
PASTORAL
COUNCIL
 We
have begun the nominating process for new members of our Pastoral
Council. This year, we will be electing four members to our Pastoral Council
for a two year term beginning January 1, 2019. Application forms are

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 have a new caterer and are able to lower the prices and
improve the quality of our food. Dinner tickets are now available
after all the Masses at the main entrance to the church and in the hall
after the 10:00 Mass. They can also be purchased during the week at the
rectory during business hours. Ticket prices are: Clambake - $30, Steak-bake
- $35, extra dozen clams - $10. In addition to great food, there will be
plenty of refreshments, a basket auction, split raffles, and much more.
WE ARE LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEERS to help with this project: to
set up, clean up, bake, and help in other ways. Please sign up in the
church’s main entrance 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.

Today is Respect Life Sunday and October is Respect Life Month. When most
of us think about respect life or pro-life, often we limit our thoughts to
abortion and the legality of abortion in the United States. True, abortion is a
great moral evil, not only here in our country, but in many parts of the world.
All of us do need to show our support for anti-abortion legislation, keep this
issue in the open, and work and pray to end this evil in our world.
But being pro-life is much more. To call oneself a believer or supporter of
life, one is committing themself to support the dignity of all life from the
moment of conception to the moment of natural death. Issues of euthanasia,
assisted suicide, and capital punishment are important pro-life issues in our
society, as are issues of crime, poverty, human traficking,and starvation. It is
too easy for us to just ignore these issues as most of us live a comfortable
healthy life. Yet, our call as Christians and as Catholics is to form our
conscience to see the dignity of all human life and to take whatever actions we
can to support efforts to address our social ills and to see the dignity of each
person in our world as a creation of a loving God.
We can do this first by prayer, then by supporting legislation that
protects all people, and then by being involved in our own communities working
to improve the quality of life of everyone, especially the most vulnerable
people among us. When we are able to do these things, then we can truly call
ourselves pro-life.

CLERGY CONFERENCE
Father Bacevice will be
away from Tuesday afternoon to Friday afternoon (Oct. 9 – 12 ) at a clergy
conference. In this absence, there will be no services in the Church. The
Masses listed in the bulletin for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday will be
said at the conference. Also, there will be no Evening Eucharistic Holy Hour
on Wednesday, nor will there be morning rosary in the Church. However, the
parish office will be open for regular parish business from 10:00am to
5:00pm.
MASS OF ANOINTING
 We
will celebrate the Mass of the Anointing of the Sick on Sunday, October
14, at 12:00 noon. We encourage our older members and those with chronic
illnesses to participate at that Mass and receive this important Sacrament
of healing.
BLANKET SUNDAY
 The
weekend of October 13-14, marks the 32nd
Annual Blanket Sunday Collection to aid the needy. This collection is
sponsored by the Diocesan St. Vincent de Paul Society. Due to a lack of
storage space, we will gratefully accept your donation and do the shopping
for you, making your money go even further with bulk purchases of blankets
and other items needed by the homeless and disadvantaged. So “blanket”
someone for the winter – and give yourself a warm feeling! You may also
donate online at
