On World Mission Sunday, Catholics of the world unite at Mass to recommit ourselves to our vocation, through Baptism, to be missionaries. We are called in a special way to be missionaries through prayer and participation in the Eucharist, and by giving generously to the collection for the Society for the Propagation of the Faith. Our brothers and sisters in the Missions themselves offer their prayers and sacrifices so that others may come to know Jesus! In a world where so much divides us, World Mission Sunday rejoices in our unity as missionaries! It provides an opportunity to support the life giving presence of the Church among the poor and suffering in more that 1,150 mission dioceses. Thank you for your generosity! ***************************************************** During the month of October the Rosary will be recited before the 5:00 p.m. & 10:00 a.m. weekend masses. There is a sign up sheet in the back of church for volunteers to lead the rosary. October 12, 2014 PRO LIFE NEWS The Bishop's Pastoral Plan for Pro Life Activities regrets to inform you that in Nebraska, 204 babies were killed by induced abortion during April; 226 during May; 168 in June and 191 In July. Unfortunately, the year to date total is 8% higher than the same time frame in 2013. Since 1973, there have been 181,499 babies killed by induced abortions in Nebraska. Nationally, more than 55 million abortions have been done since 1973. Please pray for an end to this destruction of human life and for the spiritual and psychological healing of all persons wounded by abortion. Is there an abortion in your past? Do you feel a sense of loss? Despair? Alienation and guilt? Do you feel distant from your Church? PROJECT RACHEL can help heal the wounds of abortion. For private, sensitive and confidential counseling and/or reconciliation, call 1-800-456-HOPE (4673). More information is available online at www.hopeafterabortion.com. ***************************************************** Thank you to all our advertisers on the back of the St. Luke’s Church Bulletin.
