Mass intentions are available on a first
come first served basis, up to three per
Mass. A nominal donation is requested for
the priest who says the Mass. The priest
may offer a Mass for many intentions, but
may accept only one donation per Mass;
donations for additional intentions go to the
church. Intentions are often for the
deceased, but can also be for the living, i.e.
birthday blessings, anniversaries, or in
thanksgiving.

Trust in God
Paul tells us “My God will supply
whatever you need.” ...an important
stewardship reference for us as well. Our
trust in God, our understanding that God
will indeed provide, and He will meet our
every need, is what allows us to practice
stewardship so freely. This does not
mean that we merely sit back and wait for
the Lord, but it does mean that we are
willing to take the risk, to share freely and
generously, knowing that we walk with
the Lord and that He will, as Paul assures
us, “meet our every need.”

remembrance for the dead…
The Book of the Dead has been placed
in the Narthex and will be there through
October 31st. Parishioners are invited to
enter the names of the dead, especially
those who have died in the past year, in
keeping with the longstanding tradition of
remembering those who have died to the
love and mercy of God. The Book will be
placed in the sanctuary throughout the
month of November.
A Plenary Indulgence, applicable only to
the souls in Purgatory, is granted to the
faithful who on any and each day from
November 1 to 8, devoutly visit a
cemetery and pray for the departed. On
All Souls’ Day a plenary indulgence is
granted to those who devoutly visit a
church or oratory and recite an Our
Father and the Creed.

Welcomes Mr. James Stovall,
Director of Music
On Monday, October 5th, St. Bartholomew
Catholic Church will welcome our newly hired
full-time Director of Music, Mr. James Stovall.
Originally from Baytown, Texas, James was
Fr. Wayne Wilkerson,
one of the organists at St. Michael Catholic
Pastor
Church in Houston, Texas. We anticipate
James’ gift of music and are eager for him to join us at the parish.
James, you are welcomed in the name of Christ!
Thank You and God Bless You,
Alexandra Christie!
It is with heavy hearts and deep gratitude that we bid farewell to
Alexandra Christie as our outgoing part-time Director of Music at
St. Bartholomew Parish. Alexandra was employed here at our
parish for the past three years. Her kindness and generosity to
the people of God and to the many parishioners involved in our
music ministry is gratefully received and ever appreciated by all.
Choosing to be a stay-at-home mother and give full time to her
children and family, our Alexandra will continue to be involved in
our music ministry as a volunteer and member of the choir.
Alexandra, thank you for a job well done and for the many ways
that you have enriched our lives through the ministry of music.
Well done, good and faithful servant!

This past Sunday, an appeal was made on behalf of the
Houston Coalition for Life pro-life ministry. Mrs. Christine Melchor,
Executive Director for this organization spoke at the Masses this
past weekend and made an appeal for us to assist a second bus
and ultra-sound machine known as “baby blue” to put this bus on
the road. I am truly astounded and humbled by the generosity of
our parishioners. As of Tuesday, October 07, 2014, the second
collection raised $89,003.99. Your commitment to life and living
the gospel is evidenced in this total. I am deeply grateful for your
kindness, your prayers and ALL that you individually and as a
community of faith gave. May God Bless You and Your
Generosity!

Papal Documents Condensed by Deacon Bill Wagner
Evangelii Gaudium - A Condensation
(Apostolic Exhortation on the “Joy of the Gospel”
by Pope Francis - November 24, 2013)
CHAPTER THREE: The Entire People of God Proclaims the Gospel
We are all missionary disciples
120. Because of their baptism, all members of God’s People become
missionary disciples. Whatever their level of instruction in the faith, all are
agents of evangelization. The new evangelization calls for the personal
involvement of each of the baptized. Every Christian is challenged, here and
now. Indeed, anyone who has experienced God’s saving love does not
need much time or length of training to proclaim that love. Every Christian is
always a “missionary disciple.” If we need convincing, let us look at the first
disciples, who, immediately, after encountering Jesus, went to proclaim him
joyfully, “We have found the Messiah!” Immediately after speaking to Jesus,
the Samaritan women became a missionary and many Samaritans came to
believe, “because of the woman’s testimony. So too, Saint Paul, after his
encounter with Jesus, “immediately proclaimed him.” So what are we
waiting for?
121. Of course, all are called to mature in our work as evangelizers. We
want to have better training and a deeper witness to the Gospel. But this
does not mean that we should postpone the evangelizing mission. All of us
are call to offer others an explicit witness to the saving love of the Lord. In
your heart you know that it is not the same to live without him; what has
helped you to live and given you hope. This is what we are to communicate
to others. Our falling short of perfection should be no excuse. Our mission is
a constant stimulus not to remain mired in mediocrity but to continue to grow.
The witness of faith leads us to say with Saint Paul, “Not that I have already
obtained this, or am already perfect; but I press on to make it my own,
because Christ Jesus has made me his own.”
122. The different peoples among whom the Gospel has been enculturated
become in turn active agents of evangelization. This is because each
people is the creator of its own culture. Culture is a dynamic reality,
constantly recreated, as each generation passes on a whole series of ways
of approaching different situations to the next generation that must likewise
reformulate it as it confronts its own challenges. Once the Gospel has been
enculturated in a people, they also transmit the faith in ever new forms.
Hence it is important to understand evangelization as enculturation. The
people of God, by translating the gift of God into its own life bears witness to
the faith it has received and enriches it with new expressions. One can say
that “a people continuously evangelizes itself.” Herein lays the importance of
popular piety, a true expression of spontaneous missionary activity. This is
an ongoing and ever developing process of which the Holy Spirit is the
principal agent.
Please Note: Evangelii Gaudium is available through local Catholic bookstores or on
the web at EWTN or the Vatican.

Early Voting For the November 4th
Election Begins Next Week—
Monday, October 20th
Positions to be decided include Texas’ top officials
as well as national congressional seats
In the 2012 Presidential election, over 29,000,000 Catholics went to
the polls and voted. That’s the good news. The bad news is this:
Almost half of them voted for the man Archbishop Charles Chaput
rightly called “the most committed ‘abortion-rights’ presidential
candidate since the Roe v. Wade abortion decision in 1973.”
~Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director Of Priests for Life
and Gospel of Life Ministries
~ The Running of the Rose ~
Friday
November 14th
at 7:00pm at
St. Bartholomew
Catholic Church
All members of
St. Bartholomew are invited to join us as
the Joseph M. Walla Squires Circle
#2738 participate in an event which pays
tribute to Our Lady of Guadalupe,
patroness of the Americas. Squires
across North America will carry a Silver
Rose from London, Ontario, through the
United States, to Mexico City, Mexico, on
a pilgrimage providing a symbol of their
unity and brotherhood. We will host the
Silver Rose as one of its stops in Texas,
with a special prayer service followed by
a reception at the KC Hall.
We honor Our Lady and express the
unity of the Order, as we reaffirm our
dedication to the sanctity of human life. It
is to the Blessed Mother that we turn in
prayer as we work to end the Culture of
Death that grips our society.
This November election may be America’s last chance to turn from the
evil of abortion and restore our inalienable RIGHT TO LIFE! It is critically
important for faithful, pro-life Catholics like you to show up at the polls
and VOTE! The Catechism states: “Submission to authority and coresponsibility for the common good make it morally obligatory … to
exercise the right to vote” (2240). This obligation is so serious that in
their 1998 document Living the Gospel of Life: A Challenge to
American Catholics, our bishops instructed U.S. Catholics on the vital
role they play in the political process. The simple fact of the matter is
that VOTING is the best way for you to take part in the Church’s work of
promoting and building a Culture of Life here in the United States.
But there’s a catch. When Catholics go into the voting booth, they
do not cease to be Catholic! The same hands joined in prayer to the Lord
in Church are the hands that pull the lever in the voting booth!!! And that
means being informed about both the issues and the candidates. It
means applying Church teaching to our voting decisions. And most
important of all, it means ... knowing which issues are non-negotiable
and which are matters of prudential judgment! The Church is very clear
in teaching Catholics which issues are of the greatest importance.
Primary among these are direct attacks on innocent human life through
ABORTION and EUTHANASIA! No matter what a candidate’s position is
on any other issue – the economy, health care, the “War on Terror”, the
death sentence, immigration – if he or she promotes either abortion or
euthanasia, then that candidate automatically DISQUALIFIES him or
herself from public office. Period!
But how many Catholics know this? All of us are required to
take our Catholic faith with us when we enter the voting booth. We
Catholics are the most important demographic of voters in the
entire country. Cardinal Ratzinger (Pope Benedict) issued a “doctrinal
note” stressing that: “A well-formed Christian conscience does not
permit one to vote for a political program or an individual law which
contradicts the fundamental contents of faith and morals.” That’s what
millions of U.S. Catholics need to understand.
You Must Vote as a Catholic In The
November 4th Election!
