On the feast of St. Francis of Assisi, Pope Francis, released the third encyclical letter of his papacy entitled Fratelli Tutti, on fraternity and social friendship. As with Laudato Si’, the title is an Italian quotation of the pope’s saintly namesake, translated as “brothers and sisters all.” The 287-paragraph document is a brisk walking-tour of Pope Francis’s social teaching and well worth a read. In this time of social distancing, the Holy Father reminds us that we ought to love our brothers and sisters as much when they are far away as we are with them. The encyclical articulates in eight chapters a call for all human persons to recognize and live out our common fraternity. It starts with a consideration of what is holding humanity back from the development of universal fraternity and moves to an expression of hope that peace and unity will be achieved through dialogue among peoples of faith. The following offers a brief summary of each chapter beginning with the first two chapters.

Chapter 1 – Dark Clouds Over a Closed World In the first chapter, Pope Francis outlines some trends in the world today that he finds running counter to seeing each other as brothers and sisters: the loss of a historical consciousness, the throwaway culture, the stalled expansion of human rights, fear of immigrants, and the superficiality of digital connection that can lead to aggression and polarization. Francis does not intend to produce an exhaustive list of the world’s social ills, but rather highlights how these issues are all connected by an elevation of the individual over concern for the whole of humanity: “The gap between concern for one’s personal well-being and the prosperity of the larger human family seems to be stretching to the point of complete division between individuals and human community… It is one thing to feel forced to live together, but something entirely different to value the richness and beauty of those seeds of common life that need to be sought out and cultivated” (31).

Chapter 2 – A Stranger on the Road After the lament of the first chapter, Pope Francis offers an extended reflection on Jesus’ parable of the Good Samaritan as a “ray of light in the midst of what we are experiencing” (56). The Holy Father sees in the parable a reminder that the natural love we experience for family members should be consciously extended to those who are strangers to us. This call to care for strangers in need has its roots in Judaism, and Pope Francis highlights that this care must be expressed both personally, case by case, and communally, united as a family. Each new day should be seen as an opportunity to “include, integrate, and lift up the fallen” rather than “an arena for [our] own power plays” (77).

The Knights of Columbus will be sponsoring a “Trunk or Treat” in the church parking lot on October 31st from 7-8 pm.

We are planning on a total of 20 cars loaded up with holiday goodies. Six cars have already signed up. We need 14 more. Trunks of the cars may be decorated preferably with Biblical themes. We would like to reinforce our Catholic conviction that Halloween is not about ghosts, goblins, zombies, and pirates, but about all the saints. It’s All Hallows Eve!

We are asking for donations of candy to help with the Trunk or Treat. Contact Mike Ellis at the church office: 799-3334 or 227-8808 (cell) or email: Mellis@standrewmoore.com

What is the YDisciple Adventure?

YDisciple is not just another religious ed program, rather it is an educational adventure into the Christian way of life. Think about those twelve famous followers of Jesus known as apostles. Who were they? What purpose were they called to by the Lord? What was their relationship to Jesus? The Gospels tell us that he chose to spend most of his time with this small band of friends. This makes of them the original “small group” in which learning takes on a special character. Jesus knew that he was sent into the world by his heavenly Father to proclaim Good News to everyone, and he knew he needed to surround himself with others to show them how they could play an important role in this mission. Jesus was a mentor, a friend, and a leader for these apostles. And since Catholic Christianity is above all a way of life there are people in every parish who because they are following The Way, they are able to show others how to do this. Individuals like Fr. Jack, Fr. Gabriel, Mike Jaques, Lynn Grant-Yingling, team members and some parents will do their best to lead the way. Jesus had the calling to personally care for and spiritually guide his closest followers so they could do the same with others. History reflects that this approach produced many disciples, and this is why he has called us to “go therefore and make disciples of all peoples.” (Matthew 28:19). Like Jesus, we are calling parish members to serve as mentors/leaders/facilitators of small groups in which we have high hopes that many of our youths will develop a closer friendship with Jesus so as to say YES to his call to become more intentional disciples. What we will be doing in YDisciple has everything to do with becoming a family of faith in which we increasingly experience each other as brothers as sisters in the Church. Pope Francis, Archbishop Coakley, and Father Jack share a pastoral vision drawn from the Good News of Jesus Christ in which Catholics see the need to “build a culture of conversion and discipleship in parishes.” A long time ago our patron, St. Andrew had an encounter with Jesus that changed his life. The first thing he did afterwards was to go and tell his brother, Simon Peter, “We have found the Savior, Come and see!” So come along on this adventure and see for yourselves that Jesus really is the savior of the world..

Flu Shots available at St. Andrews

Another flu season is right around the corner; and this year it will occur in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic. Preventing the flu is always important. But it’s even more critical now, when so many of our health care resources are being used to treat patients with COVID-19. By reducing your chances of catching the flu and needing to seek medical attention for it, you are doing your part to conserve these already limited resources. If you get sick and must go to the doctor, your chances of being around someone with COVID-19 are much higher. Walgreens pharmacy has agreed to administer flu shots to parishioners again this year. Flu shots will be available on October 25th from 9:00 to 11:30 a.m. in the Joyce Center. Accepted forms of payment include insurance, cash or credit card. Most insurance plans cover flu shots with no cost to clients. Registration forms for the flu shot will be available at the welcome center. It is preferable that the form is completed and turned into St. Andrew office prior to October 19th. You will not be turned away if you forget to pre-register.

Sign-up sheet at the welcome center or call (405) 799-3334 to register.

Many people, perhaps even most, give little or no thought to vital decisions that need to be made when the time for us to leave this world approaches. Advance care planning is a positive thing to do. The most essential thing any one person can do is to speak to your family, your loved ones, your doctors, and trusted clergy members regarding matters related to the time of our death. Make sure they know your desire to be faithful to the teachings of the Church. As difficult as talking about death may be, we should be having these conversations while we are young and healthy to most effectively plan for the time when we are not. Catholic funeral rites are a rich part of Catholic Tradition and offer many benefits for those who have passed as well as for their loved ones. We plan for all the important moments of our lives: marriage, buying a home, retirement…planning for the many decisions that occur near the end of life is no different. Whether someone is facing an acute illness, a long-term chronic illness or a terminal illness, advance care planning can help alleviate unnecessary suffering, improve quality of life and provide better understanding of the decision-making challenges facing the individual and his or her caregivers. Advance care planning is about doing what you can do to ensure that health care treatment and funeral arrangements are consistent with your wishes and preferences should you be unable to make your own decisions or speak for yourself. The speakers at the End of Life Presentation will look at some of these important issues from the catholic perspective.

Pray for Friends and

Family Who Are Very Ill

Intercessory prayers can be very helpful not only for those who are ill but for those who are caring for them. While we are all free to offer prayers for any intention, this particular prayer list is intended for those who have suffered a serious injury or who have fallen very ill. Our prayers can help to get them back on course.
