A note from Sr. Miriam.....Greetings dear parishioners! I pray that all is well for you and your families. We are continuing to prepare for RCIA

(Rite of Christian Initian for Adults and Children). Are you someone or do you know some one who....

1. Has expressed an interest in becoming Catholic?2. Has a child over the age of seven who has not been baptized?

3. Was baptized Catholic as a child, but has not celebrated Eucharist or Confirmation?

We offer an opportunity to come together in a small group to learn more about our faith. Sessions focus on the teachings and experience of Church and prepare individuals to celebrate the Sacraments of Baptism,

Confirmation and Eucharist during the Easter Season. There are separate sessions for children and youth. You are welcome to participate in the process with your questions, insights and your faith

story in a warm accepting setting. Contact:

The prophets of the Old Testament foretold that God’s Spirit would rest upon the Messiah to sustain his mission. Their prophecy was fulfilled when Jesus the Messiah was conceived by the Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. The Holy Spirit descended on Jesus on the occasion of his baptism by John. Jesus’ entire mission occurred in communion with the Spirit. Before he died, Jesus promised that the Spirit would be given to the Apostles and to the entire Church. After his death, he was raised by the Father in the power of the Spirit.

Confirmation deepens our baptismal life that calls us to be missionary witnesses of Jesus Christ in our families, neighborhoods, society, and the world. . . . We receive the message of faith in a deeper and more intensive manner with great emphasis given to the person of Jesus Christ, who asked the Father to give the Holy Spirit to the Church for building up the community in loving service.

Congratulations to our youth who will receive the Sacrament of Confirmation this weekend!

The 27th SundayIn Ordinary Time

October 4, 2020

I hope everyone is well as we we truly enter into the season of Fall. I am looking forward to the many cold and windy trips from the Rectory to the Church as we go through the coming months.

Well not really, but I thought it was better to have a somewhat positive outlook anyways! On another note, October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. This hits particularly close to home

for my family this year. My mom was diagnosed with an aggressive form of Inflammatory Breast Cancer in February 2020. Shocking right? It popped up mostly out of the blue, but

due to awareness and dilligence, we addressed it earlier than most. She’s doing well, especially after 6 rounds of chemotherapy, surgery, and awaiting 5-6 weeks of radiation everyday. It’s a long,

frustrating, scary process, but by the grace of God and family support, she is getting through it.So, during this month of awareness here’s a few things to do:

-Pray for all those affected by cancer-Read the article in the bulletin on basic prevention and awareness.

God bless you this week and always..............Matthew

Breast Cancer Awareness MonthThe lifetime risk for a woman to be diagnosed with breast cancer is 1-in-8, and things like a family history of breast cancer or moderate alcohol intake may increase that risk. So, what’s the best way to stay healthy? Know your risk factors and get screened. A mammogram is the first line of defense against breast cancer. And understand that a positive mammogram is not a diagnosis. No matter what the outcome, treatment and support is available. Follow the simple steps below to make sure that you’re being proactive.

Once you work with a doctor to identify which risk factors apply to you, you can figure out which screening is right for you. Using x-rays, a digital mammogram allows for less radiation than a traditional screening, better analysis, and easier file storage.

3D mammography allows a radiologist to examine tissue more closely. When used in combination with digital mammography, 3D mammography detects up to 40% more invasive cancers. Scared of getting screened? The uncomfortable part only lasts for a few seconds and the whole process is over in less than 20 minutes.

We pray for those affected by breast cancer, those who have died, and those who continue to fight!
