This coming weekend our Parish Council will be hosting
a volunteer fair. Have you thought about participating in one of
our many, many ministries?
Volunteering is an excellent way to be of service to the
community, you'll meet interesting and committed parishioners,
and you'll help this wonderful parish.
If you've been considering a ministry, please drop by next
Sunday in front of the church after the Masses.
Last Sunday, the Extraordinary Synod on the Family
began in Rome. The Synod will be discussing some pretty
difficult issues like birth control, divorce, remarriage, etc. Pope
Francis began his homily at the Synod Mass by quoting Matthew
and the placing of intolerable burdens on people. Michael Sean
Winters, a writer at the National Catholic Reporter, has a
compelling piece on the Synod.

On Tuesday, October 21, at 6pm, the Curran Center for
American Catholic Studies will present Sidney Callahan who will

psychological sciences to provide vital resources for the dialogue.
The talk will take place at Fordham at Rose Hill Campus. Call
718-817-0662 for more information.
In today's second reading, Paul says, "There is nothing I
cannot master with the help of the One who gives me strength."

Next Sunday, Pope Francis calls every Catholic in the world to
celebrate our vocation to be missionary. It's World Mission
Sunday! We will have a 2nd collection at all the masses.
As Catholics around the world – here at home and in the Missions
– gather at the Eucharist around the table of the Lord, we are to
pray for the Church's worldwide missionary work. We pray for
those awaiting the "Good News" of our Lord's great love for us
and for the missionaries who offer the poor and suffering the light
of Christ. And we are to offer financial help through the Society
for the Propagation of the Faith for more than 1,150 dioceses in
Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Pacific Islands.

NOTICIAS PARROQUIALES
Queridos Feligreses y Amigos;
El próximo fin de semana nuestro "Parish Council"
conducirá una feria para voluntarios. Ha pensado usted alguna
vez en participar en uno de nuestros ministerios? Ser voluntario
es una gran forma de servir a la Comunidad, una oportunidad de
conocer otros feligreses muy interesante así como dedicados, y al
mismo tiempo una manera de ayudar a nuestra parroquia. Si ha
estado considerando un ministerio, nos reuniremos el próximo
domingo después de las Misas en frente de la iglesia.
El domingo pasado comenzó en Roma el Sínodo
Extraordinario Sobre la Familia. En este Sínodo se discutirán
temas tan difíciles como el control de la natalidad, el divorcio,
segundos matrimonios, etc. El Papa Francisco comenzó su
homilía en la Misa del Sínodo citando al Apóstol Mateo:
"imponiendo cargas intolerables sobre las personas". Michael
Sean Winters, reportero del "National Catholic Reporter" escribió
un articulo muy interesante sobre el Sínodo. Lo pueden leer en:
http://ncronline.org/blogs/distinctly-catholic/synod/opens.
El martes 21 de octubre a las 6:00 pm el "Curran Center
for American Catholic Studies" presentara una conferencia en la
cual Sidney Callahan hablara sobre: "La Mujer y el Cristianismo:
Preguntas Inquietantes y Sin Resolver". A medida que las
mujeres en la Fe Católica reconsideran quienes son en términos
de su cuerpo y genero, el Profesor Callahan se apoya en las
ciencias psicológicas para proveer recursos vitales para el
dialogo. Esta conferencia tendrá lugar en el "Rose Hill Campus"
de Fordham University. Para mas información pueden llamar al
718-817-0662.
En la segunda Lectura de hoy el Apóstol Pablo
dice:"Todo lo puedo unido a Aquel que me da fuerza". Philippians
4:13.
Roguemos por la Paz.
Fr. Duffell..
DIA MUNDIAL DE LAS MISIONES
El próximo domingo el papa nos invita a celebrar las misiones.
Nos pide desarrollar la vida misionera de la Iglesia. Ayuda a las
misiones. Ora por ellas, trabaja por ellas. Con tu ayuda financiera
1,150 diócesis son socorridas
UNCIÓN DE LOS ENFERMOS
Él sábado, 18 de Octubre, tendremos el sacramento de
la Unción de los Enfermos en la Misa de 12:10 p.m.
Todo el que necesite el poder sanador de Dios en sus
vidas están invitados a participar.
COLECTA DE ALIMENTOS PARA FAMILIAS NECESITADAS
La semana que viene se hará la recogida mensual de alimentos
no perecederos para el programa de "Alimentos para Familias
Necesitadas". La lista de las cosas que pueden traer se
encuentra en la mesa situada detrás del último banco de la
Iglesia. Por favor, deposite su ofrenda en las cajas que se
encuentran frente a los altares laterales del Sagrado Corazón y
de la Ssma. Virgen. Gracias por ayudar a que nuestra comunidad
necesitada pueda alimentarse mejor a lo largo del año
