From the Desk of Fr. Mike Nacius, Pastor
October is Respect Life Month as well as the Month of the Holy Rosary and World Mission Month. There will be opportunities available through the parish and local efforts to participate in and be part of activities celebrating and supporting these important efforts and teachings of our faith.
 
The Respect Life Ministry of our parish is inviting you to participate in the Baby Bottle Project. For those new to this ministry, you are invited to take a baby bottle (or two) home today. Keep it in a visible location in the home. Fill the bottle with coins or other monetary contributions and return it to the parish on the weekend of October 21. Baby Bottles are available at the entrances of the church. All funds collected support the important ministry of Aid for Women in their 40 th  year of care and service. For more information about Aid for Women, visit Help Aid For Women  or send an email to  info@aidforwomen.org .

You are invited to join parishioners in reciting the Rosary at 6:05am before the first Mass of the day on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday as well as following the 8:00am Mass on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Our School  children will be reciting the rosary on Friday's at 9:00am.

As you exit church today you can pick up a copy of the Extension Catholic Magazine . The magazine highlights the work of Extension in supporting the spread of the Gospel in rural America. Extension is inviting Catholics to build a stronger future together. As Catholics throughout the United States struggle with the painful issues facing the Church today, we recognize that it is a difficult time to be Catholic. It is times like this we should join together as a family of faith looking toward positive examples of hope and community. We want to hear from you.  What makes you proud to be Catholic?
 
Catholic Extension is inviting people to share their stories, including short videos, photos or a written post on social media using the hashtag # WhyImCatholic . The stories will be gathered and shared on Catholic Extension's  Facebook  page,   twitter ,   and  website  to illustrate what makes people proud to be Catholic and helps to give them hope for the future. You can find more information by visiting Catholic Extension.
 
Congratulations to the couples that joined us Saturday as we recognized couples that were married in 1993, celebrating their 25 th wedding anniversary. May God bless, strengthen, and encourage all married couples in living out their vows.  
 
God bless you with an Alleluia heart this day.
