INTERNATIONAL DAY OF THE ROSARY
October 22
Please join the St. Jude Council of
Catholic Women at 6:00pm on October
22 as we pray the Luminous mysteries
of the Rosary in as many different
languages as we can gather participants
from our Catholic Community. We will
have a beautiful presentation with prayer and
Marian hymns. Immediately after the Rosary, we ask
that everyone bring a dish to share in the Parish Life
Center. Please feel free to dress in apparel from your
native land to help celebrate our Internatonal
Community. If you would like to sign up for one of
the Hail Marys, please contact Joan Albert at
[email protected], or via cell at 601-616-5404.
ATTENTION PARENTS!
October 24
Did you know that nearly 80% of young adult
Catholics stop attending Mass in the first year of
leaving the home? NOW Forming small group
discipleship for High Schoolers. This is a great place
for those preparing for Confirmation & those who
have received this Sacrament of Initiation.
Discipleship helps to ignite the Fire. This is NOT a
Class, it is apprenticeship in following Jesus. Many
of you may remember the small group format of
meeting in homes we did a few years back for ‘Why
Catholic’ ? This is a program of similar setting but for
our young teens. It enables them to come together in
small groups to discuss Faith and discipleship. It
gives them the opportunity to ask questions and
explore in a friendly atmosphere their sense of God
and the calling each of them have. Each small group
is designed to have an adult facilitator to help guide
them. We are hoping to begin this exciting program
with a small group here at the church and build from
there. If you think this is something God may be
calling you to do or if your teen would like to give
this a try, call lrene Scoggins at
[email protected] or 423 596 0053 or Gracie
Mcguire at [email protected] or 423 504 5864
or come to an introduction meeting on Saturday 24th
at 6:30pm.
TWENTY-SEVENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
____________________________________________________________________________________________
ARE YOU CURIOUS ABOUT THE CATHOLIC
CHURCH?
Do you know someone who might be interested in
learning more about, or has a desire to join, the
Catholic Church? Perhaps that someone could be
you. The St. Jude Rite of Christian Initiation of
Adults (RCIA) team will be hosting two Come and See
Inquiry sessions on Oct 21 & 28 at 7:00 pm in the big
room in the Parish Life Center. These 1-1/2 hour
gatherings will be informal discussions and showand-tell sessions centered on the Catholic faith, and
the questions and comments that arise from within
the group. Each night we will cover different topics,
so please plan on attending both. If your schedule
prevents you from attending these sessions, please
contact us to make arrangements to meet with a
member of the RCIA team at a time when it is
convenient for you. There is no obligation to join the
Church; just come and see. For those interested, the
formal preparation to enter fully into the Catholic
Church will begin in the weeks following.
For more information, please contact the parish office
at 423-870-2386, or contact the RCIA Coordinator,
Butch Feldhaus, at [email protected].
OLIVE WOOD SALE
October 24-25
Next week our brothers and sisters representing the
Bethlehem Christian Families, a nonprofit
organization through Land of Peace, will be speaking
about the Christian situation in the Holy Land and
selling crucifixes, religious art work and rosaries
made of olive wood which is native to Israel and
Bethlehem. Since tourism has greatly depleted,
Christian families in the holy land, who depend on
tourists, have been greatly affected. The goal of this
mission is to build a Charitable Hospital in
Bethlehem and help the poor and needy families in
Bethlehem and Jerusalem. Sale of these goods will
help them very much and also give you the
opportunity to have something authentic from the
Holy Land. Please browse and buy some articles. It
is for a good cause and also a help to your personal
devotion. For more info, see www.landofpeace.org
and www.bcfmission.com.
ST JUDE PARISH PICNIC
Sat., October 31
We will have a holiday craft bazaar and a hobby
show, along with food, games and much more! If
you are interested in selling your goods at our
bazaar, or want to show off your hobby at the hobby
fair, call Kyra! Space is limited. Please see the insert
in this bulletin to register.

WHITE MASS
October 17
Bishop Stika invites you to join him in celebrating a
diocesan White Mass for all who serve in the health
care profession on Sat, Oct 17 at 11:00am at the
Church of Divine Mercy, 10919 Carmichael Rd. in
Knoxville. As a time honored tradition of the
Church, the White Mass represents a special time to
invoke the blessing of the Holy Spirit upon those
serving in the health care profession, and to reflect
upon the Church’s teaching not only upon the
healing mission of those in the health care profession,
but also upon the salvific meaning of human
suffering in light of Christ’s redemptive suffering. A
luncheon will follow Mass and feature Dr. Barbara
Harly-Golder MD, JD, who will speak on “Physician
Assisted Suicide: A Catholic Response.” Please
RSVP for the Lucheon to Theresa Valero at
[email protected] or 865-212-5570.

PARENTS, PLEASE READ THIS!
 Just a reminder that St. Jude Church offers a
Parish Nursery for infants through 5-year-olds
during the 10:30am Sunday Mass. The nursery is
located in the Parish Life Center basement, is staffed
by volunteer parents, and is safe and fun!
 Once older children begin coming to Mass,
please encourage them to participate in the
Children’s Liturgy of the Word, also held during
the 10:30am Sunday Mass. This is an ageappropriate opportunity for 5- to 12-year-olds to
listen to the day’s readings and learn with their
friends how to live out the Gospel message. The
children are dismissed from the sanctuary just before
the first reading, and parents are always welcome to
accompany their children to the Parish Library for
the Children’s Liturgy.
 If you would like to learn more about either of
these ministries, or would like to volunteer, please
call Kyra Ross at 870-2386.

Refleccion Sobre La Palabra Del Señor
¿Qué hacer para que el amor que unió a dos
personas “en una sola carne” no lo apaguen las
discrepancias de caracteres y gustos, el paso
lento de los días iguales, los desengaños y los
sinsabores y penas de la vida?
El amor es como un fuego que debe ser cuidado
y alimentado cada día sacrificando troncos y
ramas, y avivándolo con el soplete, el viento del
Espíritu que lo hizo prender en el corazón de
cada uno. Serán esos troncos y ramas de la
paciencia, la delicadeza en el trato mutuo; los
detalles
de
servicio;
el
no
elevar
destempladamente la voz; evitar las indirectas;
ese saber cuando se debe callar y cuando el
silencio puede resultar antipático o hiriente; el
buen humor en los momentos de tensión; el no
querer tener siempre razón porque es más
importante tener armonía y paz que tener razón;
el pasar por alto los pequeños fallos que todos
cometemos en la vida; ¡y tantos detalles
pequeños más! Troncos y ramas que mantendrán
encendido ese fuego. Recordemos esto: el amor
no resuelve los problemas, los elimina,
impidiendo que se produzcan.
Ya sabemos que la convivencia no siempre es
fácil, pero no la hagamos más difícil todavía
descuidando esas pequeñas cosas que el amor
convierte en grandes y que hacen, también
grande, al amor. “Un pequeño acto, hecho por
Amor, ¡cuánto vale!”, afirma S. Josemaría
Escrivá, y añade: “Has errado el camino si
desprecias las cosas pequeñas”.
Aquella gran figura que fue el cardenal Newman
escribió: “No es posible encontrar a dos
personas por muy íntimas que sean, por mucho
que congenien en sus gustos y apreciaciones, por
mucha afinidad de sentimientos espirituales que
existan entre las mismas, que no se vean
obligadas a renunciar en beneficio mutuo a
muchos de sus gustos y deseos si quieren vivir
juntas felizmente. El compromiso, en el más
amplio sentido de la palabra, es el principio de
toda combinación, y cualquiera que insista en
gozar plenamente de sus derechos, en manifestar
sus opiniones sin tolerar las de su prójimo, y de
esta suerte en los distintos aspectos, habrá de
resignarse forzosamente a vivir solo, pues le será
imposible hacerlo en comunidad”.
No le cerremos la puerta a la armonía familiar
por el egoísmo de pensar sólo en los propios
gustos e intereses. Ningún valor por grande que
parezca es comparable a la paz familiar. ¡Unidad
por encima de todo, aunque haya que sacrificar
algún derecho! No hay felicidad allí donde no
hay fidelidad a esas pequeñas renuncias, a esas
menudas atenciones, que hacen grande y fuerte
el amor y constituyen el secreto de la armonía
conyugal.
