Twenty-ninth Sunday of Ordinary Time—October 19, 2014 ST. FRANCIS DE SALES PARISH 195 West 13th Street . Holland, MI 49423 www.stfrancisholland.org Our Parish Mission Statement We, the people of St. Francis de Sales Catholic Church, are a pilgrim people, a people on a journey. We struggle to live out the gospel in the context of our parish and our community while we travel together the path to the kingdom of God. We respect the beliefs and traditions of other Christian churches, and we strive to cooperate with them in serving those in our community. We are to be a people of hospitality toward vacationers, college students and seasonal laborers, making a special effort to help them feel welcome among us. We believe the various cultures within our community are gifts from God, and rather than assimilate them, we seek to be enriched by them. We accept one another and our different backgrounds while at the same time recognizing we are indeed a common Christian family. Whether cooperating with other Christian churches of the community of Holland, welcoming visitors and seasonal laborers, or accepting one another within our own parish community, we seek the unity that God wills, for we share “one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all, and works through all, and is in all.” (Ephesians 4:5-6) Pastoral Staff Rev.

Corpus Christi Catholic School organizó una colecta de alimentos durante la semana del 29 de septiembre al 3 de octubre.

We will not be holding our annual Trunk-or-Treat this year. Este año no celebraremos el evento anual llamado Trunk-or-Treat. Chocolate is good for you! Eating dark chocolate helps restore flexibility to arteries and prevents white blood cells from sticking to the walls of blood vessels. What does that mean? It plays a role in the prevention of atherosclerosis, which is a build up of plaque that limits the flow of oxygen rich blood. Pick your dark chocolate over your milk chocolate for the heart of it! A Su Salud Martha Kuyten, Enfermera de la Parroquia ¡Comer chocolate es bueno para usted! El comer chocolate negro ayuda a recuperar la flexibilidad a las arterias y evita a que las células blancas se adhieran a las paredes de los vasos sanguíneos. ¿Qué quiere decir esto? Significa que el chocolate negro juega un papel en la prevención de la arteriosclerosis, que es el acumulamiento de placa que limita el flujo de sangre abundante en oxigeno. ¡Si va a comer chocolate, escoja mejor el chocolate negro en lugar del chocolate de leche y así beneficiará a su corazón!
