Twenty-sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time

How is it that we are merely aware of the misery—poverty, discrimination, injustice around

us? Is it because we have not learned to see, or that we prefer not to see? It is said of God in

the Old Testament that he saw the misery of his people, and, seeing it, he liberated them.

Jesus saw the misery of the people around him and he did all he could to free them. Let us

ask the Lord here with us that we may learn to see our own afflictions and those of the peo-

ple around us. Then we can, with God’s help, do something to remedy them.

present to us around the Church and the Office

areas. We continue to ask everyone to make

use of the main entrance of the church as well

as the entrance facing directly towards the

school leading down to the Parish Hall. The

north/east entrance is still off limits for securi-

ty reasons and only those who need access to

the Sacristy have been permitted to make use

of it. We appreciate your cooperation and pa-

tience.

Parishioners are still invited to consider

assisting our parish by joining the coun-

ters team. Call the office for more info.

Renovation Update: We have finally received approval to com-

plete the remaining work in the church area,

parish hall and other specific areas. This

means that the East Nave will again be

sealed for over two weeks, leaving the

main nave of the church available for the

parishioners to use during this time, espe-

cially during Sunday. We hope that this

may be the time when parishioners may

begin to consider evaluating their support to

complete other projects that many of you

wish to see completed.

We would like to ask any of the parishion-

ers who wish to donate materials or know

someone who might be willing to do so, to

let the parish office or Fr. Efren know at

your convenience.

Materials needed: One inch thick Micro-Lok Fiber Glass

Pipe Insulation of various sizes

Plastic elbows

Tape to cover iron heating pipes

Help us reduce the cost of our renovations

by donating materials that you or someone

you know can donate. For further details

contact the parish office.

Please Help us Help the Poor St. Vincent de Paul Society of St. Jude’s

asks for your help. We are in desperate

need of the following items: Rice (2kg and

less), canned soup, peanut butter, jam, pasta

sauce, canned fish and meat. We thank eve-

ryone for your help in meeting the needs of

the less fortunate in our area. Items can be

brought to the parish during office hours.

We have a Winner!!!

Congratulations Vipul Shah (Ticket #064),

he is the winner of an Apple Mini iPAD

32GB. Thank you all who participated by

purchasing tickets to help raise funds for

our Parish. A total amount of $1,058 was

raised from this draw which will be put to-

wards our renovation efforts.

Catechetical Workshops We have started a Catechetical series of

workshops which will continue for six con-

secutive Wednesdays until October 16,

2013. Time: from 7pm to 9pm. Place:

Holy Family Room. Call the Office if you

still want to join.

What does bulletin advertising

do for our parish? It pays for the production of your week-

ly bulletin. Plain and simple. If you do

not take the bulletin into the communi-

ty, our advertisers will take their busi-

ness elsewhere. The least we can do is

support them by bringing the info home

to those who may not necessarily attend

mass. If you have a business or you

know someone who does, consider ad-

vertising in our bulletin and in so do-

ing avoid having to pay for it our-

selves. Sending out the production of

our bulletin will eliminate languages

and other benefits we presently have.

Advertise with us and support adver-

tisers.

My Offering, Sacrifice & Support As part of our belonging to the Commu-

nity of St. Jude’s Parish, we continue to

remind our parishioners of our common

responsibility to provide support to our

parish so that its doors continue to be

open to us when we need it. We partic-

ularly remind those who do not use

envelopes that it is now expected for

anyone seeking services of the

Church to identify themselves as

members of the parish through the

use of envelopes.

Registration for First Communion

and Confirmation

Parents who called to sign up for an inter-

view with the pastor to discuss First Com-

munion or Confirmation will be called this

week to set up a time for a meeting with the

pastor.

Since it is expected that parents should al-

ready be attending mass regularly, it follows

that those who are attending would have

heard the invitation both at the pulpit during

mass as well as in the bulletin. Therefore,

given that the dead line to sign up was Sep-

tember 20th, we suggest that those who did

not take the time to sign up, start attending

mass regularly so that you do not miss these

invitations and be able to meet the expecta-

tions for these sacraments. The following are

the requirements:

The family must live within the bounda-

ries of the parish. (proof of address re-

quired) or on-going attendance with regis-

tration at the parish.

if the family does not live within the

boundaries of the parish, previous registra-

tion and active participation in the parish

(as stated above) is considered as qualifi-

cation for parish membership.

Attend Sunday Mass regularly (Saturday

Vigil Mass included) not just starting to-

day, but previous practice must be identi-

fied (occasional participation is not

enough)

Families belonging to other parishes must

seek the assistance of their pastor for this

or any other sacrament.

REGISTRATION PROCESS

Registration will take place as follows:

1. Book a Screening Meeting

2. If approved, a Registration Form will be

provided with instruction to register.

3. Attend an Orientation Session once regis-

tration has been submitted and approved.

Parents, you have until Friday, September

20th to make contact with the parish and

make an appointment to see the pastor for

the Screening Meeting. After this date we

are not accepting applications for this

year; however, you can always plan for

next year.
