THE TWENTY-EIGHTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
OCTOBER 12, 2014
From the Pastor……..The Dialog announced Official Appointments by Bishop Malooly this week:
Our previous pastor, Msgr. J. Thomas Cini, VG has been appointed Special Assistant to the Bishop and will
now be in residence at St. Joseph on the Brandywine Parish. Msgr. Cini served as our pastor for nine years
while continuing his diocesan duties as Vicar General. We are grateful for his faithful service to our parish.
We look forward to showing our appreciation to Monsignor at a later date as his schedule allows.
We congratulate Very Reverend Steven P. Hurley, VG, STL, our former associate pastor of St. Ann’s.
Father Hurley has been appointed Vicar General and Moderator of the Curia succeeding Msgr. Cini by
supervising all the departments and secretariats of the Diocese of Wilmington. We send him our prayers and
best wishes in this position which he assumes in addition to his duties as pastor of St. Thomas the Apostle
Parish.
LAST CALL FOR CHRIS HILLMAN TICKETS!!! Our show with the 1991 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee
is this Sunday, October 12th at 7pm in the St. Ann’s School Social Hall. Tickets will be available at the door.
Free admission for our school children. This is an excellent opportunity to hear, see and a meet a man whose

for yourself on Google or Wikipedia. Don’t miss this chance! We need and appreciate your support. (Fr.
Dan’s band will open!) Doors open at 6:30pm.
2015 Mass Intentions - Since the earliest days, Holy Mass has been offered for the dead.
Our prayers,
but especially Holy Mass, assist those who have passed on to attain heaven. Also since its earliest days, the
Church has offered Mass for the intentions of the living, especially the sick.
Many of you ask for Masses to be said regularly for deceased loved ones. Some ask that these Masses be
offered on specific dates, and we do our best to accommodate your requests. We are now accepting Mass
requests for the calendar year 2015.
Your special requests will be honored to the extent possible, but we ask your patience and understanding.
So that we can accommodate as many families as possible, we ask that requests of multiple Masses be limited
to twelve per year. Since scheduling begins in late October, it is important that requests be received by
October 15, 2014. If you would like to be informed of the dates and times of your scheduled requests please
include a self-addressed stamped envelope, a phone number or email address so that we can contact you.
Please note that the scheduling for the 2015 Masses will not be completed until December. Thank you.
CAPITAL CAMPAIGN NEWS…….from Fr. Mink

Religious Vocations –In today’s second reading,
St. Paul tells the Christians at Philippi how to live so
that “the peace of God that surpasses all
understanding will guard your hearts and minds in
Christ Jesus.” A key element in experiencing that
peace is seeking out God’s unique plan for one’s
life. Where is the Lord trying to lead you? How
does He want you to glorify Him? Is He calling you
to priesthood or to religious life? If you think so,
please call or write Father David Kelly, Diocesan
Director of Priestly and Religious Vocations at 5733113 or vocations@cdow.org. Be sure to visit the
website, www.CalledByTheLord.com.
