29th Sunday in Ordinary Time . . .
"Repay to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to
God what belongs to God" is the classic
response Jesus made to his accusers who tried
to trap Him in speech in today's Gospel. The
Word in Isaiah today helps us better understand
how God is in charge of everything, and
nothing happens without God's knowledge and
concern. Cyrus was the king of Persia who
helped liberate the Jewish people from exile
and return them to their own dear homeland,
even though he didn't know the God of Israel
and Jesus. No matter what would happen to
Jesus in this world, He knew his heavenly
Father would deliver him from evil and raise
Him up in the resurrection from the dead. All
things belong to God! Do you and I live as
though we REALLY believed this fundamental
truth of our Christian Faith?
Scripture Readings for next Sunday: Exodus
22:20-26; 1 Thessalonians 1:5-10; Matthew 22:34-40.
Responsorial Psalm: “Give the Lord glory
and honor.”

40 Days For Life and The Human Life
Amendment . . . I'm sure you are aware of the
contentious campaign going on about Measure #1 that
will voted on in the November 4th Election. The Catholic
Church in ND and Pro-Life people of the State are
asking for a "Yes" vote on Measure # 1 to help protect
the laws that are already in place to curtail abortion and
uphold the dignity of every human person, from
conception to natural death. Planned Parenthood forces
from out of state are pouring thousands of dollars into
advertising against the passage of Measure # 1; with
false accusations and blatant lies. BE SURE TO VOTE
"YES" on Measure # 1 in November or by absentee
ballot. The 40 Days Devotionals for this current week
are also available for your reading and reflection;
carrying a variety of prayer services from various
religious leaders throughout the Country. Again, if
anyone wishes to make a donation to cover the cost of
these pro-life efforts could leave it with the Parish Office
which will be sent on to the respective offices.
World Mission Appeal this October . . . World
Mission Appeal Envelopes are attached to today's
bulletin to remind you of this most important and
essential collection taken up worldwide to help support
the missionary activity of the Catholic Church. "I Will
Build My Church" is the theme of this year's appeal, a
favorite thought of Pope Francis as he leads the way to
reaching out to many who don't know Christ or belong
to His Church. This year's appeal focuses on the
country of Mongolia, one of the more vibrant and young
branches of the universal Church. You may also use the
"envelope" in your offertory box of envelopes for this
appeal. Please be very generous and try to give your gift
within the next week or so. Thanks!
Our Sympathies go out to the Lloyd Becker Family of
Sacred Heart Carrington . . . Lloyd Becker, age 87, died
on October 10, and left behind his wife, Joanne and
family. Lloyd was very active as a K.C. member of
Sacred Heart and assisted Fr. Haas in building the
artifact cabinet for the St. Joseph Parish of
Bremen. Joanne Becker has served as the Director of
the Religious Education and Youth Ministry for Sacred
Heart for many years.
