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.
PRIESTHOOD SUNDAY
On
October 28th Catholics will celebrate Priesthood Sunday, a
day set aside to celebrate the importance of the gift of priesthood in the
life of the Church and for us to reflect on the ministry that our priests
share with us - when we gather at the Table of the Lord, and when we call on
them in our times of need. Consider sharing a personal note or a card of
thanks with them. We pray that our young people will be inspired by the
ministry and witness of our priests and that their hearts be open to hearing
and responding to God’s call. More information on priesthood can be found at
www.clevelandcatholicpriesthood.com

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, and then are ineligible for one year.
This year, two members are ineligible to run for another term. Also, I was
unable to appoint a member last year, as those I approached would not accept the
appointment. I am sure that there are at least five members of our parish who
would be willing to serve on the council. The application process is easy and
application forms are available in the Book Room. We would like all applications
to be submitted by Sunday, November 4th.
It is easy 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 invitie you to consider serving on the
Parish Pastoral Council.
God
Bless ! Fr. Joe Bacevice

PLEASE PRAY
 We
ask you to keep in your prayers the souls of Anthony Ferrando and Augustinas
Idzelis who died last week and were buried from our parish. May they have
eternal rest in the peace of God’s kingdom.
MISSION SUNDAY
This Sunday
is World Mission Sunday, a 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.
THANK YOU
Last weekend’s collection
for the Diocesan St. Vincent de Paul Blanket Sunday totaled $325. Many needy
families and individuals will receive needed winter supplies through SVDP’s
Ozanam Centers, Catholic Charities, and other organizations serving the
homeless in our metropolitan area. A sincere thanks to all our parishioners
for their donations and prayers. If you haven’t had a chance to contribute,
you can still donate online at
www.svdpcle.org
or make a check payable to SVDP. Thank you very much.
PASTORAL
COUNCIL

Council. This year, we will be electing four members to our Pastoral Council

Voting will begin November 18th and conclude December 2nd.
