28th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Every four years, this country holds primary elections. Usually, two or three
states vote at a time. On what is called Super Tuesday, more than twenty states
hold their primary elections. And 2008 was no different; however, on this Super
Tuesday there were reports in one state of voters showing up at their usual polling
placing to vote only to discover that their state had already had its election a week
earlier, and in another state, people showed up to vote only to learn that their
primary wasn't for a few more weeks. Some were finally ready, but it was too late;
others tried to get in but weren't ready.
The parable of the wedding feast in today's reading from Matthew actually tells
two different stories. In the first, the king prepared for his son's wedding and sent
out an invitation to all he thought would attend. But no one took him seriously, and
all refused to attend the wedding. The king had their city burned; one would
assume they then wished they had attended the wedding, but their wishes came
too late. In the second part of the parable, the king has invited just about anyone to
the wedding; many come, but one who does is not dressed for a wedding; the king
sees he is not ready to attend and escorts him out.
We are called to the kingdom of heaven; we cannot afford to wait to answer
until the time is right for us. Nor can we assume that we will be welcome just
because we think we deserve it. Remember, through his parables Jesus invites
people to the feast of the kingdom, but he also asks for a radical choice: to gain
the kingdom, one must give everything. Words are not enough, deeds are required
(CCC 546). How we use our gifts of grace in preparation for the kingdom is what
matters most.

Respect Life
Now there are those who would patrol life, not after it
becomes a harvest but while it is seed in the granary.
The new kind
of vigilance would
not wait until the fruit
Respect
Life
appeared on the tree, as did Hitler and others, but
would stifle the blossoms and the buds. They would
take up their watch at the borderline of love and life
and say, "They shall not pass."

CHILDREN’S CHOIR
All 3rd through 6th graders who would like to be a part of a Children’s
Choir are invited to practice this Thursday, October 19 in the church from
6:30 -7:30PM to lead music at the 10:30AM Mass the third Sunday of
each month (this month on the 19th). If you have any questions, contact
Lynne Carroll at 641-752-1808.
SHARE YOUR MUSICAL GIFTS IN A FUN, NEW WAY
There is a new Catholic Praise and Worship team starting and we would
love to have you join us! Music rehearsals begin soon and musicians of
all ages are welcome to sing or play for this new group. Please mark your
calendars and join us to learn the music in St. Henry Church: Sunday,
October 12 at 4:00PM, Sunday, November 9 at 4:00PM and Tuesday,
November 18 at 6:30PM. Interested or want more information? Contact
Laura McIntosh 515-720-7882 or Pablo Ajapacaja at 712-635-1697 or
Carrie Seberger at 641-752-5192.
BAPTISM CLASS
Tuesday, October 28 is the next class for parents who want to have a
child baptized in the next several months. It will be held in the lower level
of the Parish Center at 7:00PM. The next class will not be until January.
Please contact the Parish Office to pre-register.
CAN YOU “STUFF” OUR BULLETINS?
There is a need for someone, or a group of “someones” to step forward.
All we ask is that the bulletins get put in the mailboxes at church between
Friday noon and Saturday noon. Should you, your family, or your group
be interested in serving St. Henry in this way, contact Karen K. in the
Parish Office. We are seeking enough people so it would be only one
weekend every month.
ACTIVITY BAGS FOR CHILDREN
Something new at St. Henry; play bags for our children 3 and under for
them to take into church. The bags are located above the mailboxes.
Grab one to bring into church, and return after Mass. Currently we have
12 bags, and hope to get 6 more soon. As a youngster said as he was
leaving Mass last week "That was really fun!"
CHILDREN'S LITURGY OF THE WORD
We would like to encourage parents to use the Activity Bags for children,
3 years old and under, and wait until they are 4 years old to begin attending the Children's Liturgy of the Word. The Children's Liturgy program is
designed for youngsters, 4 - 7 years old. We would like to invite children
between the ages of 4 and 7 who attend the 10:30AM Sunday Mass to
celebrate liturgy in a way that is specifically written for their age. It really
is better for children under 4 to remain with their parents and use the
Activity Bags in the pews.
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
You will receive a new registration sheet for volunteer opportunities soon.
Watch for it in the mail along with your annual Stewardship Letter. Look it
over, and pray for direction on how you can best use your talents to
serve at St. Henry.
