In today’s Gospel reading, we hear the invitation from the king to attend the wedding banquet.
The king’s servants are sent out to invite any and all after those first invited reject the invitation.
Obviously a metaphor, this reading is easily understood as God’s invitation to us and our
opportunity to accept or reject it. As our response to God’s invitation, we are asked to clothe
ourselves in gratitude, humility, and love as explained by St. Paul in the Second Reading.
God’s provident love is gracious and unconditional, inviting all to the banquet. We respond to
His love by in turn extending our gratitude, acting with humility, and sharing that love. All aspects
explained by St. Paul in last week’s reading.
I will be offering some Parish financial information today, taking the opportunity to express my
gratitude to each parishioner and family of St. Peter Chanel for their remarkable commitment and
generosity not only in support of the operation of the parish, but by demonstrating a continued
appreciation for the Works of Mercy through their charitable outreach. I will offer a few more
examples of your Good Works as I speak, but in this letter, allow me an opportunity to share my
appreciation and gratitude for this remarkable parish family.
See you at Mass,

“My God will supply whatever you need…”
PHILIPPIANS 4:19
God really does provide for those who are grateful and
generous. This is very difficult for people that don’t live
a stewardship lifestyle to believe. People are skeptical
and say it’s just coincidence. If you are skeptical, try
living a stewardship lifestyle for just one month – be
generous with your gifts of time, talent and treasure and
see how God provides for your needs.
Second collection next Sunday for
“World Mission Sunday 2017”.
There will be special envelopes in the narthex and you
can use the SPC online payment page to make a
donation.

Puerto Rican clergy and laity within our

effort.
Cash donations from individuals may be sent to the
Chancery (Attention: Puerto Rico Relief) to defray
the costs of shipping and support the work of
Caritas. Desperately needed supplies include
bottled water, non-refrigerated milk, canned food,
batteries of all types, bed linens, baby food, and
disposable diapers. Volunteers are being sought at

Questions about becoming Catholic?
Or completing your Sacraments?
Victoria Lambo is journeying in RCIA, the process for adults to become Catholic and
receive Sacraments. She recently shared her thoughts on what she is learning about
the Church:
I came to view the Church in a different light. I had never really thought about the
profound intimacy of the Holy Spirit working through the Church, the body of Christ,
to connect people to God and each other. In the Protestant church, we shared
communion once a month, and recognized it as symbolic of the body of Christ. Now,
I have a renewed reverence for the Sacrament of Holy Communion, and find comfort
in thinking of the Church as an “earthly dwelling, a celestial place,” an “invisible
richness and a visible reality in the community.” I always felt like I could be with God
anywhere, and I still believe that to be true. However, when I became less active in
church community, I felt like an ember that had fallen off the flame. My faith seemed to be unwavering, but I didn’t
realize I was missing all that God wanted to share with me in the unity of His family. I pray for the Holy Spirit to fan
the flames of my heart, so that as a member of the body of Christ, I will accept and share God’s love in His Church.
Please join us in praying for all those journeying in the process to become Catholic and receive
Sacraments: Brittany, Kit, Shannon, Barry, Amanda, Daniele, Gail, Melissa, Zach, Roshonda, Kayla,
Jennifer, Victoria, Caitlin, Michael, Kathlyn, Rick, Jim, Danielle, Richard and Faye.

Wisdom: God's Vision for Life
A Great Adventure Bible Study
led by Deacon Mike Bickerstaff
(Began September 26, 2017)
Tuesday Mornings from 10 am to 12
Noon in McNamee Hall
By Jeff Cavins and Thomas
Smith: In this study, Jeff Cavins and
Thomas Smith examine biblical
wisdom as it relates to daily life.
Drawing on the wisdom literature of
the Bible—Proverbs, Wisdom,
Sirach, and Ecclesiastes—Wisdom will
teach you how to actively seek out
sound guidance and increase your
sense of peace in navigating life.
Scripture offers a vision for
happiness and well-being. With this
program, you will learn how to
gather, gain, and grow in wisdom,
and you will experience the joy it
brings to your life. You will also
discover what wisdom is (and what it
isn’t!), learn new habits for increasing
wisdom in your daily life, and gain
confidence, through role models and
practice, in living according to God’s
vision.

tremendously positive impact on the
life and mission of the Church. Many
of these witnesses lived out the
scriptures in their daily lives with
heroic virtue. Sessions are stand-

GIFT is in session this week while PSR and EDGE take a break. In this week’s Gospel, Jesus teaches about humility.
The parable of the wedding feast reminds us that God desires our wholehearted acceptance of his invitation to
salvation. As you gather as a family, discuss what you consider appropriate attire for various occasions. Take some
time to pray together as a family that you will respond wholeheartedly to God’s invitation to salvation.

Life Night: Christian Atheist Life Night: Christian Atheist I believe in God, but don't fear Him
Sunday, October 15—6-8 pm
Our Life Night Series resumes this week with a focus on
fear of God. We hear a lot about how God loves us, so
what does it mean to fear Him? When we say, “you’re a
good, good father,” it doesn’t just mean “you give me
nice things.” It means he loves us like a parent should—
when we choose good and when we choose evil—but
out of love. He doesn’t want us to continue to make the
wrong choices. Bring a friend, and meet us in the Youth
Room for pizza followed by tonight’s program.

Breathe in me, O Holy Spirit,
That my thoughts may all be holy.
Act in me, O Holy Spirit,
That my work, too, may be holy.
Draw my heart, O Holy Spirit,
That I love but what is holy.
Strengthen me, O Holy Spirit,
To defend all that is holy.
Guard me, then, O Holy Spirit,
That I always may be holy.

First Saturday of every month,
Communions of reparation be
