There’s not much more Ordinary Time left as we arrive on
the 30th Sunday when Pope Francis beckons us to make a difference for the poor and forgotten across the globe. The Society for the Propagation of the Faith grew from the idea of one young woman to pray and make a small weekly donation to help the missions. Read about Pauline Jaricot and then please give on World Mission Sunday.
This week, our pastor reflects on our global belonging. He reminds us that whether we are the visitor or the visited, we are family - sisters and brothers of the same Loving Father. We are mystically connected - it's a powerful concept. Join his contemplation at From Fr. Chuck.
Tomorrow, Saturday, we offer two parish events and one celebrated worldwide.
-
It's not too late to make Milagros. Join us tomorrow – at 10 a.m. We’ll be in the Ministry Center (500 W. MLK) in Antioch. Bring your small hammer, $10 for adults and $5 for children, and go home having made new friends and something beautiful! Don’t wait to reserve your spot on the bus for our Mission pilgrimage on November 9. Read all about both events at Our Lady of Guadalupe.

Hospitality Minister Training will be offered Saturday, October 22 from 2 to 3:30 in the Church. We need you!

Tomorrow is the feast of a charismatic Pope who modeled advocacy for human rights. We invite you to reflect on this saint’s efforts in support of human rights and pray using words he left for us at Saints Gallery.
Want a great way to solve the problem of what to be for Halloween? Our St. Vincent de Paul Society Conference has a great source for costumes and so much more! They’d also like to thank their kind sponsors for giving to the Friends of the Poor Walk. There’s even a costume suggestion at JUSTNews.

We’re hoping that in this phase of our capital campaign, every family will follow the example of generations before us. Their investments provided us with a place to pray, learn, and serve. Now it’s our turn – please give to Beacon of Hope.
