Mass Intentions & Readings 28th Sunday �

in Ordinary Time�

October 10, 2021�

Readings and Reflections

First Reading: I pleaded, and the spirit of wisdom came to

me. I preferred her to scepter and throne, and deemed

riches nothing in comparison with her. (Wis 7:7�8)

Reflect: Today’s reading presents wisdom and prudence as

life’s most precious gifts. Why do you think these virtues

were held in such high regard by ancient Israel?

Psalm: Fill us with your love, O Lord, and we will sing for

joy! (Ps 90)

Second Reading: No creature is concealed from him,�

but everything is naked and exposed to the eyes of him to

whom we must render an account. (Heb 4:13)�

Reflect: Hebrews connects the power of the word of God

with divine judgement � one day we must all “render an

account” of our lives before the Lord. How often do you

think about your own judgement day? �

Gospel: “Go, sell what you have, and give to the poor�

and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow

me.” (Mk 10:21)

Reflect: Jesus teaches the rich man and the disciples that

while wealth can often hinder one from entering the

kingdom of God, self�sacri9ice and discipleship can earn

eternal life. How well do you balance these realities in your

life? �

Fr. Bart Stevens, St Anthony Catholic

Church, will lead the Public Rosary at Laurel’s

Townsquare(on First Ave � across from

Yellowstone Bank).�

In TheSecretoftheRosary, St. Louis de

Montfort states:� “Public prayer is far more

powerful than private prayer to appease the

anger of God and call down His Mercy; and Holy

Mother Church, guided by the Holy Spirit, has

always advocated public prayer in times of public

tragedy and suffering.”���

AmericaNeedsFatimaasks that tens of

thousands of prayer warriors gather to pray the

Rosary for America, for she needs a monumental

miracle of conversion.��

In the words of Blessed Pope Pius IX:� “Giveme

anarmysayingtheRosaryandIwillconquer

theworld.”��� Please bring your Rosary on

Saturday and join with our Blessed Mother for

our beloved nation and souls.�

October is the month of the

Rosary.� Each day in October, a

different group from Billings/

Laurel will be praying the Rosary

on Billings Catholic Radio.� Tune in on Wednesday's to pray

the Glorious Mysteries with St. Patrick Youth! �

Votive candles are again available in the Chapel

of Shrines for those who wish

to light a candle for your

loved ones. Please

remember to leave your

donation to offset the cost of the candles.�

Dear parishioners of St. Patrick Co-Cathedral,

Thank you for participating in our Time and Talent Sign Up. We

appreciate you! At this time, we are slowly getting some of our

ministries back up and running. In the meantime, we encourage

the following ministries to complete their Safe and Sacred training.

Once this is completed, you will be contacted for further training

and scheduling: Ushers, Extraordinary Ministers of Holy

Communion (parish and homebound), Catechists, Bus

Drivers. To complete this training, required by the Diocese of

Great Falls- Billings, please visit:

https://diocesegfb.safeenvironment.org/login/index.php

Here are a few updates regarding some of our ministries:

Coffee & Donuts: We would like to begin after the 8:00am and

10:30am Mass once per month starting October 17. Responsibili-

ties include: Picking up donuts at Albertsons, preparing coffee,

preparing donuts, collecting donations and clean up. This ministry

will eventually run itself. Each volunteer will be assigned one Mass

per month until we get enough volunteers to do this every week

(hopefully by December/ January). You will receive a contact list

of other volunteers in this ministry. If you are unable to volunteer

during your time, you will need to contact another volunteer to fill

in for you. Please contact Diana

at dpenney@stpatrickcocathedral.org immediately if you are

interested in serving donuts at the 8:00am Mass on the 17th.

Bus Ministry: Our goal is to resume Bus Ministry in November

one Sunday per month at the 10:30am Mass. Responsibilities

include: Filling the bus up with gas, picking up passengers 1-2

hours before Mass, and dropping off passengers. Passengers will

call the parish to confirm pick up once per month . Bus drivers

must contact another volunteer if they are unable to drive for their

scheduled time.

Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion: Once you

complete your Safe and Sacred training, please contact Fr. Leo

for additional training. Once this is finished, you will be placed on

the schedule for Mass times by Brock Boender. Homebound

ministry- Fr. Leo will discuss responsibilities and training with you

once Safe and Sacred training is complete.

Ushers: Once you finish the Safe and Sacred training, email

Brock Boender at bboender@stpatrickcocathedral.org. From

there, he will place you on the schedule once you complete

additional training. There will be a formal training/ review in the

near future. Keep an eye in the bulletin for dates and times. We

would like to resume taking up the collection.

Sacristans, Lectors, Choir members, Cantors: Contact Brock

Boender to shadow another Sacristan or to schedule training. You

do not need to complete the Safe and Sacred training.

For any questions or comments regarding our parish ministries, do

not hesitate to contact us. Thank you for all you do!
