Good morning to all! I have given a gift of some new books

to the parish library. In honor of this election year, let me share with

you one the books that would be worth your time to read. Archbishop

Charles Chaput, archbishop of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania has given

our Catholic citizens a worthy reflection on Americana civic life called

“Render unto Caesar: Serving the Nation by Living Our Catholic Be-

liefs in Political Life”. Archbishop Chaput is a leader among Ameri-

can bishops, encouraging American Catholics to live vibrantly our

Faith rather than submitting to the culture.

What is the purpose of this book? The Archbishop writes in

the first chapter: Over the past decade I’ve grown increasingly tired of

the church and her people being told to be quiet on public issues that

urgently concern us. Worse, Catholics themselves too often stay silent

out of a misguided sense of good manners. I think that he is absolutely

right. Catholics citizens have to take up the challenge of knowing a bit

of our Catholic history in America and understanding better what the

Church teaches on the great issues of the day and why. May this book

challenge us to take up our baptismal vocation to be salt and light in

the world, encouraging what is good is America and challenging what

needs conversion.

FR. DAVID

November 1, All Saints Day, Holy Day of Obligation: Masses at St.

praises you, the noble fellowship of prophets praises you, the white-

The Extraordinary Form Mass is the Latin Mass according to the Mis-

brate this Mass form and will do so once a month on Saturday. A
