Pat Coyne and Jerry Nichols Co-Chair Finance Committee 1 28th SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME OCTOBER 12, 2014 Dear Parishioners, Next Sunday, October 19th, is World Mission Sunday. It is a special day set apart throughout the Catholic Church to concentrate on the Church’s Missionary work around the world. Mission Sunday helps us to reflect on how the Church is still making every effort to preach the Gospel of Jesus in every land. Mission Sunday also helps us to realize how fortunate we are to have received the gift of our Catholic Faith and to be able to practice that Faith in freedom. We pray for all those missionaries who take the Word of God to people in every land. This year we are fortunate in having Father Ed Dougherty, the outgoing Superior-General of the Maryknoll Father and Brothers, speak at all of our Masses. Father Dougherty has spent a number of years on the missions, himself, and is just completing a six year term as Maryknoll’s Superior-General. We are delighted to have Father Ed with us. The second collection next weekend will be taken up for the Church’s missionary efforts throughout the world. On behalf of all the missionaries whom you will assist through your contributions and all those who will hear the Christian message through the voices of those countless missionaries, we thank you for your generosity. Also, on Next Sunday afternoon, October 19th, the parish is hosting, without question, the grand social event of the Fall season . . . the annual St. John Vianney Italian Festa. The hours are from 5:00 P.M. to 7:30 P.M. It will be a very relaxed evening, one filled with good food, enjoyable conversation and lots of fun. Please keep in mind that the hor d’oeuvres are served at 5:00 P.M. and are available until about 5:45P.M. when dinner is served. So, if you want to enjoy the delicious hor d’oeuvres, you need to get there early. The Italian Festa is a parish event and a family event, open to everyone in the parish. From my perspective, it’s wonderful to see so many parishioners join us for the occasion. The price of admission is very reasonable . . . $20.00 for adults making advance reservations and $25.00 at the door. The charge for children, 12 years old or younger is $9.00 in advance and $10.00 at the door. There’s plenty to eat, so bring a good appetite. If you haven’t made your reservation yet, there is still room, but call quickly since the dinner was a sellout last year. Gil Chavez, a local caterer and a parishioner, is once again providing the hors d’oeuvres and the main course. It is a BYOB affair with sodas and setups for those who wish them. There will also be some wine available for those who forget to bring something that goes well with pasta and other culinary delicacies. Come early and relax with your friends and fellow parishioners. We look forward to seeing you there. Have a good week ahead. God bless you all. Sincerely yours in Christ, Rev. Msgr. Donald E. Leighton Pastor 2 28th SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME OCTOBER 12, 2014 PRAY FOR All those serving in defense of our Country, both at home and abroad, especially Captain Christopher S.

Walking with Purpose The Changing Landscape for Families Considering College Enabling Women to Know God WALKING WITH PURPOSE is a weekly Bible study that aims to bring women to a deeper, personal relationship with Jesus Christ by offering personal study and small group discussion that link our everyday challenges and struggles with the solutions given to us through the teachings of Christ and the Catholic Church. St. John Vianney will be hosting a conversation about college and college costs on Monday, October 20, 2014 from 7:00 - 8 :00 p.m. in the Parish Hall. While the evidence of the lifelong benefits of higher education remains strong, perhaps more than ever, families and students are grappling with questions of cost and value when it comes to choosing a college. This interactive presentation will focus on the dynamics associated with choosing a college in today's competitive and cost-conscious climate, focusing as well on the role of Catholic colleges and universities in delivering excellence while remaining affordable. We meet at St. Thomas of Villanova, Rosemont Chapel auditorium on Thursday mornings from 9:15 – 11:15 am or Thursday evenings from 7-9 pm. All are welcome. Free Childcare is available for the morning session. For more information go to Walking with Purpose.com or email or call : Maria O’Malley, mariaomalley@comcast.net 215.740.6742 Our presentation will be led by Dennis Murphy, who has served in leadership positions in enrollment and student affairs at Villanova University, Bucks and Montgomery County Community Colleges, GwyneddMercy University, Neumann University, and Rosemont College.
