Tuesday @ 7:00 pm, starting Oct 22, 29, Nov 5, 12, 19 & 26. -- Find rest before busyness eats you alive We often search for peace in a world that longs for God, but doesn’t know him. This book teaches you to see the small, and often few, quiet moments and experience God in the midst of the busyness. Together we will learn to quiet our mind, deepen our prayer life and experience the fullness of God’s unconditional love for us. Join Deacon Richard and Archdiocesan Spirituality Center Associate Director, Diane Abbondante for six weeks to explore the Book, Busy Lives Restless Souls. Please purchase and read the first chapter before our first class.

What kind of attitude do we bring with us to Mass each weekend? Do we feel proud of ourselves for what we have accomplished this week; or do we feel inadequate— sorry for all the times we’ve failed— aware of our human weaknesses? As we celebrate the Eucharist together, let us examine our consciences and recognize our need for God’s mercy. The more we recognize our need for God and His mercy, the more we can open ourselves up to the grace He wishes to pour out on us.

Today is World Mission Sunday. We are called to a personal encounter with Jesus, in the Church, and to offer, through this Eucharistic celebration, our prayers and our financial support. Through the Society for the Propagation of the Faith, we continue the mission of Jesus. Today, we are “sent” out to witness to the Missions in the world through our prayers and personal sacrifices for our brothers and sisters around the world. As always, your prayers are your most treasured gift to the Missions. Your prayers and financial assistance, offered today, WORLD MISSION SUNDAY, support mission priests, religious Sisters and Brothers, and lay catechists who are Christ’s witnesses to a world so in need of His healing, love, and peace.

Tickets for this event will be available for purchase under the Portico in front of church this weekend of October 19/20. Tickets can be purchased with cash, checks (payable to Dynamic Catholic) or by using the available form for credit cards.
