33rd  Sunday in Ordinary Time Today’s readings speak of living our lives fully - using the gifts and talents which God has given us  - in the best manner - that is for the good of others.    If we do this there will be a special place for others in eternity - we will “enter into the joy” of the Lord.

In your prayers please remember Matthew Graham who left a bequest to Holy Name Parish in his will.  Please consider your parish in your will.  It is another way to help God’s work.

PRIEST’S BENEFIT FUND At Masses across the Archdiocese of Kingston next weekend, a collection will be taken for the  Priests’ Benefit Fund.  Most of the priests who are now living in retirement due to age or illness are priests we have known, respected and even loved as pastors.   They are good men of God who helped us live out our Catholic faith for generations - from baptizing our babies to offering words of comfort at the funerals of our loved ones.  In the best and worst times of our lives, our priests have been there with us, like family, hearing us out and helping us out.  And now some of them have come to a time of life when they could use our support.  Lay people had never been asked to help until three years ago.  Despite a generous response across the diocese and in this parish since then, the Priests’ Benefit Fund still needs building up to meet the growing need.  Please give your prayerful consideration to how much you should put in that envelope next weekend.

The Tuesday Night Series”Knowing God Better” has concluded.  It was excellent.  We will run it again next September for those who missed it. Bible Study begins in January.  More details later.

Prayer for Vocations

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. Through the intercession of our Blessed Lady, we ask this through Christ our Lord.   Amen.
