STEWARDSHIP REFLECTION
Twenty-Eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time

“My God will supply whatever you need…” - Philippians 4:19

God really does provide for those who are grateful and generous. This is very difficult for people that don’t live a stewardship lifestyle to believe. People are skeptical and say it’s just coincidence. If you are skeptical, try living a stewardship lifestyle for just one month – be generous with your gifts of time in prayer, talent in charitable works and treasure and see how God provides for your needs.

GIVING
Jesus, help me to act on what I say I believe. 

Offertory – At Masses & Online Giving (Weekend of 10/4/20)  $13,512.

A most sincere thank you to all families who choose to continue supporting the church through your giving. Your support is crucial and heartfelt. Words fall short in expressing our gratitude. May God bless you for your generosity.

TEMPORARY SUNDAY MASS ADDED

We have been truly blessed with an increase in attendance at the Sunday Mass at 9:00am. We presently have chairs set up downstairs in the Social Hall to accommodate for the overflow. To help out with this situation, we have added, for the remaining month of October, a 7:30am Mass on Sunday morning.

The following is our current schedule for Sunday Mass times:

Sunday, October 11th 7:30am, 9am, and 12pm (Spanish)
Sunday, October 18th 7:30am, 9am, and 12pm (Spanish)
Sunday, October 25th 7:30am, 9am, and 12pm (Spanish)

We hope to see you soon!
We are prayer warriors. Abba, teach us to pray.
We are servant leaders. Jesus, help us follow your example to serve.
We are a giving people. Holy Spirit, enkindle the fire of our love to give.
Let us pray, serve and give to the Lord…

We give of ourselves, our resources and from our abilities. What are some examples in the Bible?
·       Ourselves: the Parable of the Good Samaritan, Luke 10:25 - 37
·       Our resources: the Lesson of the Widow’s offering, Mark 12: 41 - 44
·       Our abilities: the Parable of the Talents, Matthew 25: 14 - 30
Moral of giving: help those in need, contribute generously, and use your God-given skills in serving the Lord!
Welcome back to Life's Corner!

Archbishop Naumann* has written an article that provides a brief overview of Catholics' responsibilities to protect and defend human life as we approach the polls. To read the article, Priorities at the Polls, please click on the link below.

Hurricane Laura is another tragic reminder of the suffering that can be caused by natural disasters. Whether these catastrophes occur in slow motion as Laura has or with little or no warning at any hour of the day or night, people of faith naturally want to offer assistance. 

Electronic donations may be made to Catholic Charities USA. They and their member agencies respond to immediate emergency needs for such necessities as water, food, shelter and medical care, as well as to the long-term need to rebuild and recover after widespread destruction. They also assist the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops with pastoral and reconstruction needs of the Church. Their address information follows:

VIRTUAL ZOOM RETREATS

THE MONASTERY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

In response to the (Covid-19) pandemic, the retreat house is closed indefinitely to the public. In place of 'in-person' retreats, we are offering virtual zoom retreat presentations. Members of our monastic community will give these conferences, as well as other selected presenters who will share their insights and knowledge.

This retreat is via Zoom in two sessions: 
Part 1: 10-11:30 AM followed by a lunch break.  
Part 2: 2-3:30 PM
What can you do when life doesn’t go according to plan?  Hope is a tool we can leverage to pull us through the obstacles that get us stuck and propel us into the future we desire. 

Reserve your spot today! Retreat@trappist.net or 770-760-0959.

Our Office is open Monday- Friday 8:00AM - 1:30PM
