Welcome Father Paul McAvoy
Thank you for looking after us while Father Shea is away.

29th Sunday In Ordinary Time - October 16th, 2005

“Is it lawful to pay taxes to the emperor, or not?”  Jesus answers this without offending anyone- obeying civil law does not contradict God’s laws. Remember always that governments are changeable but the Lord does not change - by being respecting God’s kingdom here on earth, we will be faithful to our baptismal duties & honour Jesus’ call to discipleship.

STATUE OF MARY: (Please leave in the entrance after the Mass you attend for the next family)
The week of Oct 16th prayers will be offered in the home of Linda Goldstein.
The week of Oct 23rd prayers will be offered at Mae’s Nursing Home.

Banns of Marriage:

Kelly Dalton & Casey Nelson

VOCATION VIEW
Even as a child you knew the importance of asking often for something you really wanted.
Now again, in an adult way, ask God to show you His will.
But, be ready to do it!

O God, who has chosen the Apostles to propagate the faith & to establish Your Holy Church throughout the world, we earnestly beseech You to choose from amongst our people many priests, deacons, religious brothers & sisters and lay persons who will gladly devote their entire lives in making YOU known & loved by all
