4 YOUTH: “What is a Patron Saint?” Patron Saints are special protectors or guardians over any area of life that is important to us, such as occupations, illnesses, churches, countries, causes etc.
Patron Saints named by popes, but can be chosen by individuals or groups as well. Patron Saints are often chosen because an interest, talent or event in their lives relates with a special area. Saint Francis of Assisi, for example, loved nature, so he is the Patron Saint of Ecologists. We should all have a Patron Ecologists. We should all have a Patron Saint. Why? For one thing, we can use that saint’s life as an example for our own lives. For another, we can ask for that saint’s life as an example for our own lives or we can ask for that saint’s intercessory prayers to God on our behalf, kind of like asking a friend to pray for us. It would be a good project to do some internet research on Catholic saints and find one that would be a good Patron Saint for you.
SACRED HEART PARISH FALL DANCE: will be on Saturday, October 21st at the Canadian Legion. Tickets are $10.00 and can be purchased at the door or call Marie Pennell at 388-5090.
THE SEARCH: What is this journey in between the event we call “birth” and the one we call “death?” Is the journey taking you somewhere, or are you leading yourself to some kind of destination – a destination that could extend beyond your last breath? What do you want from your life during the in-between? The questions are there, and, the answers are too.
THE SEARCH is an innovative video series that tackles the key questions of every human heart. In seven beautifully filmed episodes, experts from multiple fields of science, medicine, psychology, art, and religion examine our place in the larger story of existence. The SEARCH is from the Augustine Institute that serves the formation of Catholics intellectually, spiritually, and pastorally to renew the Church and transform the world for Christ. Please register! This program will be advertised outside of our parish communities. We need committed volunteers from the parish to come and help by participating in small group discussions, welcoming people into our Church, and to journey with people. Please use the contact information below to volunteer
When: Monday evenings 7 – 8:15 pm, until October 30th (Thanksgiving Monday excluded)
Where: Cathedral of the Most Holy Redeemer and Immaculate Conception Registration: thesearchcb@gmail.com or by calling 631-4543
PRAYER REFLECTION: Jesus says:
“Whoever is not with Me is against Me; and whoever does not gather with Me scatters.” I sometimes feel that my life is like scrubland, halfway between garden and desert. I sometimes feel that I lie in a world of twilight, halfway between day and night. I sometimes feel like lukewarm water, halfway between hot and cold. I sometimes feel that I am in a state of indifference halfway between love and hate. I sometimes feel I am trudging along a safe little path halfway between good and evil. Lord, save me from the illusion that because I am not against You, I am therefore for You.
Above all, save me from being neutral.
