important and necessary.
Contact the church office
at least six months prior to
your proposed marriage
date to begin this process.

Mission Statement
With the Blessed Virgin Mary, the first disciple of Jesus Christ, as our example and patron, the mission of Queen of the
Apostles Catholic Church is to proclaim and share the Gospel entrusted to us. We celebrate our oneness with the
Risen Christ, with each other and the entire Church, through the sacraments, especially the Holy Eucharist. We accept
the direction given us by the Second Vatican Council. We are committed to this mission by our worship, education,
fellowship, and outreach to the needy.

From the Pastor’s Desk...
I am writing this on Monday afternoon, October 13. We have just
completed a very successful BBQ Supper, selling 711 meals (at a profit
of five dollars per meal). I am overwhelmed by the success of this
event and so grateful to Gary, and all those who volunteered their time
for set up, service and clean up and all those who helped organize this
event. I also want to mention our Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts who were
invaluable in making the delivery of meals in bad weather last Saturday
such a smooth reality. Thank you to all.
And, if that were not enough, I have just returned to the office from
the beginning of our first annual Queen's Classic Golf Tournament at
Pine Island Country Club. 19 foursomes are currently playing to make
this another successful fund raising opportunity for the parish. I am
grateful to the committee that organized and did all the foot work to
gain sponsorships and otherwise fund this first, great event. In the
bulletin you will see the names of all our sponsors and I hope, if you
are able, you will support them if you have a need for their services. I
also want to thank the Hay Clinic and Dr. Jerry Gardner for its overall
sponsorship of the tournament. Your generosity to us is a blessing!
These two very successful fund raisers will assist our building program,
especially as we prepare to provide furnishings and other necessary
elements to our overall plan.
Welcome the opportunity this weekend to do some early Christmas
shopping and purchase olive wood products from Christian families in
Bethlehem. To do so is to also support the livelihood of Palestinian
Christians who, in the current conflicts in the Holy Land, continue to
find their employment and the security of their family life severely
compromised.
Ministry Moments:
Food Baskets
Christmas dinner can be a special
time for families to gather, and
yet, some families struggle with
this tradition we might take for
granted. Due to the generous
donations of turkeys, hams,
canned food, potatoes, sugar,
flour, and baked goods, our parish
has been able to assist families in
the local community with boxes of
foods. BI-LO is also a strong
supporter in this endeavor. Names
are provided by the BCO, SOCKS,
and parishioners who are aware
of families in need. Each year,
over 100 boxes of food are given
away. If you know of a family in
need, or would like to help in
other ways, please contact
Heather Hart at 704-842-4059.
I also have to thank our "tech team" who have taped, edited and
shaped the DVD presentations we will use for our small group meetings
beginning this next week. Father Chris and I have developed the
materials and this will give me a chance to reach a larger number of
parish members to reflect on Advent themes (yes, before Advent -- so
you will be ready to develop them further when I preach on these
themes during the Advent season!). I hope
you will consider joining a small group. Check
the flyer in the bulletin and mark your
calendars for "My People: A Purpose, A
Sponsored by the Homebound Ministers of Queen of the Apostles Church
Promise, A Treasure and A Heritage."
Quilt Raffle
A beautiful queen size quilt, crafted
by women of the homebound ministry
will be raffled on Sunday December 7
at the Christmas Cantata.
Tickets will be available following the masses
on the weekends of November 1-2,
November 15-16, and December 6-7.
- Father Frank
Tickets are $5.00 each or 6 for $25.00.
Proceeds to benefit the new church building fund.
Lastly, let me remind you of the Monday
evening Rosary each Monday in October at
7:15 PM. We are praying for peace in our
hearts, our community and in our world. Join
us if you can in the church for the remainder
of the month!
Be blessed this week.

Treasures from
Our Tradition
All Christians in both East and West
embraced the care of the sick as
essential to church life. In the
West, the importance of the visit of
the priest is stressed, while in the
East, the sick person is brought to
the church for a full Liturgy of the
Word. Some, such as the
Armenians, even call it the “Ritual
of the Lamp,” since the oil is
poured out of the lamp by which
the Word is read. This may be why
Eastern Christians sometimes
anoint the sick with this oil, since
the trip to church might kill them.
Our tradition in the West also
unfolded in monasteries, where it
was possible for infirm monks to be
attended with a full and beautifully
consoling liturgy. In 950 the monks
of St. Alban’s Abbey in Mainz
produced a ceremonial book that
was instantly a pastoral hit
everywhere. There were two
lengthy rituals for the sick, one an
extended vigil, and the other a
liturgy of anointing that included
Communion under both species.
While this ritual was a house
formula for monks, it is easy to see
how monks who had the care of
parishes desired to serve their
parishioners in a similar way. The
first form included the chanting of
penitential psalms, and the second
form required a confession
beforehand. Both forms included a
laying on of hands, which everyone
understood as being an essential
part of penance.

Reflexión
Que todos los pueblos conozcan tu bondad. Todos estamos llamados a
la salvación. Las palabras que dice el Señor, después de haber
resucitado, las dice con autoridad. Porque no solo recibió la vida
inmortal, sino que también fue constituido Rey y Señor del universo
con un poder que no tiene límites, lo abarca todo y lo ejerce en el cielo
y en la tierra. Este poder lo ha recibido de su Padre Dios. Todo ser
humano alcanzará la salvación solo si lo reconoce como su Señor.
Jesús estando en la posición plena de este poder universal, instituye la
misión: Vayan, pues, y enseñen a todas las naciones. Siendo el Señor
de todos los hombres, envía a los discípulos a todos los hombres.
Aunque físicamente no lo verán ya más, El no los abandonará; al
contrario, estará continuamente con ellos, con su Iglesia: Sepan que
yo estaré con ustedes todos los días, hasta el fin del mundo. Yo estoy
con ustedes, me quedo con ustedes, comparto su historia, les llenaré
su vida con mi presencia. Cada acción de nuestra vida como cristianos
siempre está protegida por el Espíritu Santo. Por eso Jesús nos invita a
realizar una misión y es la de dar a conocer el Evangelio a todos los
hombres, pero con fe, esperanza y amor. Esa misión comenzó el día de
nuestro Bautismo, es decir el día de la vida de la Gracia. Quién es el
verdadero discípulo de Jesús? Aquel que vive la vida de gracia y la
transmite a los demás y además la defiende con su vida, con su
testimonio y que no pone condiciones, sino más bien se deja llevar por
las mociones del Espíritu Santo. Hermanos, atendamos la invitación
que hoy Jesús nos hace, ser discípulos de Jesús, es decir llevar el
mensaje a nuestros hermanos. No condicionemos nuestro trabajo en la
Iglesia o el de la vida espiritual, más bien dediquemos más y más a
esta misión, porque todas las acciones humanas aunque sean buenas,
sino están fortalecidas por nuestro apostolado desde el Evangelio,
pronto se acaban, es muy triste terminar nuestra vida sin cooperar con
Jesús en llevar el mensaje de Dios a los hermanos, comenzando con
nuestra propia familia.
Que Dios los bendiga. P. José Antonio Juya V.
