PASTOR’S CORNER
A Synod is a gathering of some bishops with
the Pope in Rome. The Synod on the Family began
last Sunday. It is better said that the meeting in Rome
is probably the beginning of a sustained time of prayer
and reflection about the life in Jesus as it is lived out in
marriage and family. It is NOT, as some media were
striving to make it, an occasion to vote on Church
teaching regarding marriage, family planning etc. It IS
a time to ask the guidance of the Holy Spirit in applying the message of the Scriptures and the wisdom of
the tradition on the joys and challenges to marriage
and family life in our day.
The Synod, on the other hand, it is an occasion
for the Church to take more into account the ordinary
lives of good Catholics. You may recall that a while
back people were invited to respond to a questionnaire
in preparation for the Synod. It is the teaching of the
Church that a source for discerning the movement of
the Holy Spirit is the voice of the People of God.
Clearly the People of God have diverse experience and
speak with a diverse voice both culturally and in terms
of opinion. So the challenge for the Synod during this
period of time is to discern the voice of the Holy Spirit
in such diversity.
For more information go to: http://
www.usccb.org/issues-and-action/marriage-andfamily/2014-2015-synods-of-bishops-on-thefamily.cfm. Let us continue to pray for the a deep
spiritual renewal in the Church on a parish, diocesan,
and universal level.

Prayers & condolences to Marlene & her family.
First impressions last. What is a visitor’s first impression
when walking in the door for Sunday Mass? Hospitality involves a diversity of ministries: Lectors, Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion, choir, priest, deacon, people who
assist with the collection, and GREETERS. A greeter, simply
enough, is someone who helps the person walking through
the door feel welcome. You can be an individual, couple of
friends, or a family. You need to know some basic information about our buildings and about “who’s who” so as to
answer questions. But most of all, you need to put yourself in
the person’s shoes and consider, “What will make him/her/
them feel like they not only belong, but have been expected?”
Earlier in the year as part of her Lay Ministry Program Mary
Richter presented a workshop about becoming a more welcoming parish and now we want to get ourselves organized to
do just that. If you are interested please join us on Tuesday
evening, Oct. 21 [note changed date] from 7:00 to 8:00.
If you have questions, contact Fr. Mike.

PRAY FOR THE THIRD EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL ASSEMBLY SYNOD
OF BISHOPS- OCT. 5 –19, 2014 The theme of the 2014 Extr aor dinar y Synod is
“the pastoral challenges to the family in the context of evangelization.” In preparation for
this event and during this event we ask all to pray the prayer of Pope Francis.
H
" oly Family of Nazareth, may the approaching Synod of Bishops
make us once more mindful of the sacredness and inviolability of
the family, and its beauty in God’s plan."
- Pope Francis (12.26.13)

A CATHOLIC APPROACH TO…
2014
Many thanks to all who so generously gave
donations for those in need.
The final counts are in and we were able to
give away approximately 230 bags of groceries,
25 bags of schools supplies, 30 bags of diapers and much more! We fed over 75 people
lunch and the people were so grateful.
A BIG THANKS also to all our volunteers who
arrived before the crack of dawn and braved the
cold, cold weather to serve! We couldn’t have
done it without you!!
We had such positive feedback we are hoping
to make this an annual event. Keep an eye out for
stories, pictures and articles to come in the Julie
Jewels! God bless you all!
Several years ago Fr. Mike offered a series entitled
“A Catholic Approach to Scripture, Sacraments and
Spirituality, and Morality”. He will be offering them
again. The purpose of the three-part series is to highlight the uniquely Catholic approach to these three
areas. Many Catholics approach these areas of Christianity with points of view they have picked up from
the more Protestant atmosphere of the U.S. The goal
is not to enter into polemics but to clarify differences.
Obviously, this will be the most superficial of studies
so that another goal is to offer resources for continued study. Because this will be a cursory look, it
makes no claim to be the only way to look at these
areas with Catholic eyes.
The sessions will be offered in the “St. Stephen
Hall” of the Fenmont from 7:00 to 8:30 on the following days:
• A Catholic Approach to Scripture
Thursday, Oct. 23
• A Catholic Approach to Sacraments and
Spirituality Thursday, Oct. 30
• A Catholic Approach to Morality

¡Atención a los que les gusta preparar postres!
Después de todas las misas el 25 y 26 de octubre, nuestros candidatos de confirmación van a vender postres en el PREP Bake
Sale. El dinero que ingresan va para ayudar a varias programas
de ayuda comunitaria…canastas del Día de Gracias en St. Raphael, Heifer International, Rice Bowl y a niños con problemas

donativos de postres para vender…pueden dejarlos en las mesas
en la entrada de la iglesia el día de la venta.
COMITÉ REGIONAL
Dentro de los próximos tres años habrá un solo párroco para las tres parroquias: Santa Julia de Billiart, San
Pedro en Cadenas, y San José. Eso es debido a los pocos sacerdotes que se ordenan estos días. Este cambio
está ocurriendo no solamente en Hamilton, ni solamente
en la Arquidiócesis de Cincinnati, sino en todo el país.
Sin duda habrá cambios para todos. Podría ser en
la frecuencia de las Misas dominicales. Podría ser en el
tiempo que el nuevo párroco tendrá disponibles para los
feligreses de cada parroquia. Podría ser en las finanzas.
En este momento no se sabe nada con certeza.
Para preparar para ese día se está formando un comité de representantes de las tres parroquias. Es importante que haya un representante de la Comunidad Hispana. Se busca una persona que:
• Esté cómoda participando en reuniones en inglés
• Tenga tiempo disponible en la tarde (generalmente
a las 7pm)
• Pueda dedicar tiempo para escuchar las inquietudes
de la Comunidad Hispana y darle a conocer el trabajo del comité.
• Esté dispuesto a leer unos pocos documentos.
Se espera que el comité se reunirá no más que
una vez al mes por los próximos tres años. Si le gustaría
formar parte del comité o si tiene preguntas acerca de
ello, hable con el P. Mike. Muchas Gracias.
