On All Saints Day (November 1), the Church honors all the holy men and women who edified the Church by their blood, by their labors, or by their virtue. In other words, they lived a good Christian life to the best of their ability. All Saints Day is usually a Holy Day of Obligation. We are accustomed to celebrating All Saints Day as Catholics by attending Mass. When All Saint’s Day falls on a Saturday or a Monday, the obligation to attend Mass is abrogated. All Soul’s Day (November 2), is usually NOT a Holy Day of obligation unless it falls on a Sunday. It is a day in which we pray for our beloved dead who have not yet obtained their reward in heaven, attending Mass is a tradition and part of that daily prayer. It is our Catholic belief that these souls are helped by the intercession of saints in heaven and by the prayers of the faithful on earth. To pray for the dead is an act of charity and piety. That is why, at every liturgy, we pray for the dead as part of the Prayers of the Faithful (Intercessions), now called the Universal Prayer. By showing this mercy to the suffering souls not yet in heaven, we are promised to be shown mercy at the time of our departure from this world. This year, November 2nd, All Soul’s Day, falls on a Sunday and will be celebrated at all the weekend liturgies. The parish will remember those parishioners who celebrated a Resurrection Liturgy here this past year at 5:00pm mass in by reading their names aloud during the liturgy. 4 St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church St. Francis Xavier Catholic School Update day, February 12, 2015.

What belongs to Caesar? What belongs to God? Christian stewards recognize that everything they have belongs to God. God created them, and God has claims on every part of their existence. They also realize that the sovereign is an institution whose nature and purpose is to promote the common good and protect the welfare of its citizenry. As long as it accomplishes this mission while treating every single person with deep respect, justice and compassion, it merits the steward’s support and cooperation. Christian stewards know what belongs to the Lord, and they are better citizens when they live their lives according to His Gospel.

Last year I did miss the fall. In Rome most everything that changed either turned yellow or brown, no oranges, reds or purples like we are blessed with here in Northeast Ohio. This weekend the women of the parish are making the Renewal. Please keep the team, par cipants and all those who help with their meals in your prayers. It is a wonderful opportunity for spiritual growth. Please keep in your prayers about 100 of our young people who will be confirmed this Friday night at 7:00 p.m. by Bishop Roger. There will be a recep on in the basement a er Mass to visit with fellow confirmandi and the bishop. I received a phone call the other day from a gentleman who cares for his handicapped daughter who called to alert me to the fact that some of the handicapped parking spaces in the parking lot are occupied by cars without handicapped tags. I would ask everyone’s coopera on in reserving those spots for those who really need them during the weekend liturgies. And a reminder about keeping the far south por on of the parking lot with yellow striping open during the week as an aisle so that people can access the Church and rectory. On the weekends please fill all marked spaces, white and yellow all the way to the curb. Catholics across the country will be celebrating Priesthood Sunday on October 26, 2014. It is a day set aside to celebrate the importance of the gift of priesthood in the life of the Church. It is a time for us to reflect on the ministry that our priests share with us when we gather at the Table of the Lord — when we call in our times of need. Consider sharing a personal note or card of thanks. Together we pray that many of our young people will be inspired by the ministry and witness of our priests. May their hearts be open to hearing and responding to God’s call in their lives. More information on priesthood can be found at clevelandcatholicpriesthood.com. Have a blessed week! Fr.
