News from the Parish Office

Good Morning,

We hope that you will help support the parish youth who will be participating in the Cardboard Charity Campout next weekend by donating blankets, flashlights and personal hygiene items they will be using to simulate being homeless.  Toothpaste and toothbrushes are being donated, but travel-size toiletries such as soap, deodorant, shampoo, sunscreen, along with small bottles of water and granola bars would be welcome.  Donations can be left in the box outside the Parish Offices - contact Becky Culver if you have any questions or for additional information. 

The Sacrament of Reconciliation will be offered this Saturday from 3-3:30, with Fr. Jack Caldwell as the celebrant.

Please complete and return your 2017 Stewardship Form - it can be mailed, placed in the collection basket or dropped in the Mail Slot outside the Parish Offices, in the envelope addressed to Fr. Dale marked "Confidential."  We thank those of you who have already responded.

The Knights of Columbus invite you to their Fish Dinner this evening from 5-7:00 PM, and to their monthly Chicken Dinner on Sunday from Noon until 2:00PM.  Your support is appreciated - proceeds help fund their charitable work. 

Parishioner Jan Kehne spoke with Bryce Nall last Friday.  He was in good spirits and will be in rehab another 2-4 weeks. Bryce said he has made great progress with his therapy and does have some minor sensation in his legs.  The doctors will not say if this will continue to improve and that only time will tell.  He asked that we continue to pray for him.

And on the Feast of St. Patrick:  May the road rise up to meet you.  May the wind be always at your back.  May the sun shine warm upon your face; the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand.

SECOND ANNUAL CHRISTMAS CANTATA @ SFX

NEWS FROM THE PARISH OFFICE

Good Morning,

 Those who ordered the 2017 Daily Prayer Book should see me to pick up your copy.  The fee of $9.00 can be paid in cash, or by check made payable to the parish.  

 Liturgical Ministers are asked to indicate your availability for the upcoming Holy Day Masses so the December schedule can be prepared.  The sign-up sheet is on the table near the loft stairs and we ask that you fill it out this weekend. 

 Please join us after Mass on Saturday for appetizers and good company - the inspiring CSA video will be shown.

 Please remember in your prayers the family of Mr. Carmine Campanella, who passed away October 30th.  His wife, Ruth Ellen, is related to the families of parishioners Ann Lindle Simpson and Nina Lawson.  Deacon Gerry Mattingly will be the celebrant at Mr. Campanella's funeral tomorrow at 2:30 PM at Hall Taylor Funeral Home in Taylorsville.  Visitation begins at 1PM.  May his soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed, rest in peace.  

 Lastly, we pray for blessings on all those who have served our country in the armed forces, on today, Veteran's Day.  We ask for, echoing St. John Paul II, an end to wars and the dawning of a new era of peace, as a way to honor all the veterans of past wars.

 Blessings, Diane

Prayer for the Republic

We pray, Thee O Almighty and Eternal God! Who through Jesus Christ hast revealed Thy glory to all nations, to preserve the works of Thy mercy, that Thy Church, being spread through the whole world, may continue with unchanging faith in the confession of Thy Name.

We pray Thee, who alone art good and holy, to endow with heavenly knowledge, sincere zeal, and sanctity of life, our chief bishop, Pope Francis, the Vicar of Our Lord Jesus Christ, in the government of his Church; our own bishop, Joseph E. Kurtz, our own pastor, Father Dale Cieslik, all other bishops, prelates, and pastors of the Church; and especially those who are appointed to exercise amongst us the functions of the holy ministry, and conduct Thy people into the ways of salvation.

We pray Thee O God of might, wisdom, and justice! Through whom authority is rightly administered, laws are enacted, and judgment decreed, assist with Thy Holy Spirit of counsel and fortitude the President of these United States, that his administration may be conducted in righteousness, and be eminently useful to Thy people over whom he presides; by encouraging due respect for virtue and religion; by a faithful execution of the laws in justice and mercy; and by restraining vice and immorality. Let the light of Thy divine wisdom direct the deliberations of Congress, and shine forth in all the proceedings and laws framed for our rule and government, so that they may tend to the preservation of peace, the promotion of national happiness, the increase of industry, sobriety, and useful knowledge; and may perpetuate to us the blessing of equal liberty.

We pray for his excellency, Matt Bevin, the governor of this state, for the members of the assembly, for all judges, magistrates, and other officers who are appointed to guard our political welfare, that they may be enabled, by Thy powerful protection, to discharge the duties of their respective stations with honesty and ability.

We recommend likewise, to Thy unbounded mercy, all our brethren and fellow citizens throughout the United States, that they may be blessed in the knowledge and sanctified in the observance of Thy most holy law; that they may be preserved in union, and in that peace which the world cannot give; and after enjoying the blessings of this life, be admitted to those which are eternal.

Finally, we pray to Thee, O Lord of mercy, to remember the souls of Thy servants departed who are gone before us with the sign of faith and repose in the sleep of peace; the souls of our parents, relatives, and friends; of those who, when living, were members of this congregation, and particularly of such as are lately deceased; of all benefactors who, by their donations or legacies to this Church, witnessed their zeal for the decency of divine worship and proved their claim to our grateful and charitable remembrance. 

To these, O Lord, and to all that rest in Christ, grant, we beseech Thee, a place of refreshment, light, and everlasting peace, through the same Jesus Christ, Our Lord and Savior. 

ALL SAINTS ANNUAL HOLIDAY BAZAAR

MUST SEE VIDEO: Carpool Karaoke with Bishop Malloy!

MUST SEE VIDEO!

For your Election Day viewing and listening pleasure, two priests of the Diocese of Rockford, Illinois, and their bishop are the stars of a new video making the rounds on the internet that parodies the “Carpool Karaoke” segments made famous by James Corden’s “The Late Late Show” on CBS.

According to the Rockford Register Star, the video was unveiled a couple of Sunday's ago at an annual youth summit in the diocese attended by 1,700 teens. Father Keith Romke and Father Kyle Manno pretend they’re driving to the summit. Halfway there they pick up their “boss,” Bishop David Malloy, to give him a ride. You gotta see this!

I hope this brings you a few laughs at the end of this Election Season 2016!
