ALL SAINTS DAY
Friday, November 1st, is the Solemnity of All Saints and a Holy Day of obligation. On this day we honor all of the Saints in heaven, those great and small. No doubt among them are many of our ancestors and relatives who have gone before us in faith & now live forever with God. They are the heroes of our faith, and they serve as witnesses and examples for us to follow. Masses for All Saints Day will be at Saint Luke’s at 8:30am and at Saint Patrick’s at 6:30pm.
FALL POTLUCK
St Patrick’s had a Fall Potluck & Hymn Sing-along on Saturday, Oct 19th. Lot’s of fun for many!
COMMUNION FOR THE HOME BOUND
Father regularly brings Holy Communion to those in our parish who are home bound. If you or someone you know is home bound, please call and let father know.

MINISTRIES APPEAL (Formerly UCA)
The Ministries Appeal is underway. By now you should have received an invitation to contribute. If you did not, please contact the parish office. The Ministries Appeal focuses on the ministries of our Diocese that bring our mission to share the teachings of Jesus Christ to life. Through Education and Family, through Evangelization and Outreach, and through Vocations and Clergy Support, these three ministries support and sustain our Catholic faith throughout our Diocese. Please be generous. Also, note that a major change this year is that your donations should be sent directly to the Diocese. An envelope for that purpose is included in your packet. But, you can still use your UCA envelopes and the parish will get donation to the Diocese. For more details on the diocesan website, click here.

********************
The Chosen is an artistic portrayal of the life of Jesus and the Apostles. As “The Passion of the Christ”, the creators of this series attempt to show how things might have been if we had been there … using the art of cinematography. It is worth watching, but with the idea that not all of the words, actions, or ideas presented are known to be true. Consider it like looking at a work of art attempting to portray the parable of The Prodigal Son. As we watch “The Chosen,” we turn to prayer and the Gospels for “the truth” but realize the lives of those portrayed must have been amazing! Here is a video where Bishop Barron and Jonathan Roumie attempt to describe the series and faith and their relationship:
The following videos discuss two of the most popular Podcasts in the country done by Father Michael Schmitz with help from Jeff Cavins:
