Normal Mass Times are listed on the front of the bulletin. Please contact the office for special Mass times during Lent and Holy Days of Obligation. To receive your First Holy Communion, contact the Parish Office, 896-9408. SACRAMENT OF CONFESSION Essential to the Christian Life, the Sacrament of Confession is where we come into contact with Christ who wishes to heal and bless us. Regular Confession is an integral part of practicing our Faith and experiencing the peace and joy of a personal relationship with Jesus. 30 minutes before every Mass, the Sacrament of Confession is offered. If you need to receive the Sacrament of Confession for the first time, contact the Parish Office, 8969408. SACRAMENT OF BAPTISM Through the waters of Baptism, the new Christian enters the Church and is given Eternal Life. If you would like to have your infant baptized, please contact the Parish Office at least 2-4 months prior to the baby’s due date so that there is enough time to complete preparation for the Sacrament. Parents should be registered, participating members of the Parish Family. Candidates for Sponsors (Godparents) should be attending Mass regularly. Both parents and sponsors will attend a Baptismal Seminar before they receive the Baptismal Packet which must be received before an approved date is scheduled. If you are a parent or an adult seeking the Sacrament of Baptism, please contact the Parish Office, 896-9408. SACRAMENT OF MARRIAGE In the beginning, God created mankind as one, male and female. Christ elevated this union to the level of a Sacrament, an image of His own love for His Bride, The Church. Our Parish Family is made up of many beautiful marriages who enrich the Church and the world. Couples discerning the vocation of Holy Matrimony should contact the Parish Office to begin the journey of preparing for their new life together no later than 6-9 months prior to the desired wedding date. SACRAMENT OF ANOINTING OF THE SICK AND FUNERAL/BURIAL ARRANGEMENTS The Church and her Sacraments accompany us at every moment of our life. When we are very sick or nearing the end of this life, we receive the healing of Christ through Anointing of the Sick. Please contact the Parish Office, 896-9408, to make an appointment. Also, contact the office before you contact anyone else in making funeral arrangements. We will lovingly guide you through that most difficult time. NEW PARISHIONERS WELCOME Please fill out a census card (located near the doors of the church), call the Parish Office or register online at the church website: www.sprcc.org.

VETERANS DAY – TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 11TH May we remember that the freedoms we enjoy in our most gracious home, the United States of America, did not come without a price.

O God, by whose mercy the faithful departed find rest, look kindly on Your departed veterans who gave their lives in the service of their country. Grant that through the passion, death, and resurrection of Your Son they may share in the joy of Your heavenly kingdom and rejoice in You with Your saints forever. We ask this through Christ our Lord. ~United States Conference of Catholic Bishops AN ACT OF CONSECRATION FOR THE UNITED STATES Most Holy Trinity: Our Father in heaven, Who chose Mary as the fairest of Your daughters; Holy Spirit, Who chose Mary as Your spouse; God the Son, Who chose Mary as Your mother; in union with Mary, we adore Your majesty and acknowledge Your supreme eternal dominion and authority. Most Holy Trinity, we put the United States of America into the hands of Mary Immaculate in order that she may present the country to You. Through her we wish to thank You for the great resources of this land and for the freedom which has been its heritage. Through the intercession of Mary, have mercy on the Catholic Church in America. Grant us peace. Have mercy on our President and all the officers of our government. Grant us a fruitful economy born of justice and charity. Have mercy on capital and industry and labor. Protect the family life of the nation. Guard the innocence of our children. Grant the precious gift of many religious vocations. Through the intercession of our Mother Mary, have mercy on the sick, the poor, the tempted, sinners – on all who are in need. Mary, Immaculate Virgin, Our Mother, Patroness of our land, we praise you and honor you and give ourselves to you. Protect us from every harm. Pray for us, that acting always according to your will and the Will of your Divine Son, Jesus, we may live and die pleasing to God. Amen. CJC SANCTITY SERIES: Navigating the Spiritual Life by Using the Means to Holiness Scripture Wherever the river flows, every sort of living creature that can multiply shall live, (Ezekiel 47:9) Thus we do not fear, though earth be shaken and mountains quake to the depths of the sea, (Psalm 46:3) Do you not know that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? (1 Corinthians 3:16) Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up, (John 2:19) Reflection Where do you find God? How do you talk to God? Have you listened to hear God’s message to you? What is God’s message directed specifically to you? The real purpose of meditation is this: to teach a man how to work himself free of created things and temporal concerns, in which he finds only confusion and sorrow, and enter into a conscious and loving contract with God in which he is disposed to receive from God the help he knows he needs so badly and to pay to God the praise and honor and thanksgiving and love it has now become his joy to give.

St. Vincent de Paul Insurance Donations All Saints Day All Souls Day $7,726.18 $179.00 $406.00 $91.50 $966.00 $2,792.00 “The promotion of the practice of stewardship is important for the mission of the Church and for the spiritual well-being of each individual Christian. Everyone benefits from the sacrificial gift one makes of his time, talent, and treasure.” ~Pope DA Benedict XVI THANK YOU FOR YOUR GENEROUS DONATIONS AND STEWARDSHIP! BECAUSE OF YOUR GENEROUS SUPPORT, WE HAVE A WONDERFUL PLACE OF WORSHIP. A STEWARDSHIP MOMENT In today’s reading from Saint Paul’s letter to the Christian community at Corinth, he suggests that we are all called to e “wise master builders” in the building up of God’s temple, the local Church. Each one of us has been given gifts to offer this building enterprise, and we are called to be good stewards of this project, to build this church together, in communion with one another, according to God’s plan, not ours. Jesus Christ is the solid foundation upon whom we are to build. Saint Paul further suggests that God will judge us according to the quality of our stewardship. Can we see ourselves as “master builders” of God’s church? What gifts are we using to construct this holy place that God will call home?
