IN OUR PARISH

WE WELCOME TO OUR PARISH FAMILY THROUGH BAPTISM   Reagan Marie Hill and Cora Elizabeth Hill, daughters of Ryan & Ellen; and Calvin Timothy Votel, son of Tim & Danielle.  May the Lord bless their lives with love, health and happiness.  

OUR DEEPEST SYMPATHY   goes out to the family and friends of  Mary Schildmeyer who passed away last week.  She and her husband Bill were parishioners at St. Catherine before she was moved into St. Charles.  Please keep her and her family in your prayers.

UPCOMING PRAISE AND WORSHIP SPEAKER   Do you believe in modern-day miracles? Deacon Jack Sullivan of Boston does because he was healed on August 15, 2001 from a crippling spinal disorder through the intercession of Cardinal Newman. This miraculous healing led to the beautification of Cardinal Newman on September 19, 2010. Deacon Jack will tell the story of this amazing miracle tonight, Sunday, October 16th, 7:00PM @ St. Catherine of Siena church in Ft. Thomas, KY. He will follow the talk with a healing service and a blessing with Newman’s relic. No tickets needed, a free-will offering will be taken. For details call 441-3438.

Parish Night Begins Wednesday October 19th    We are very excited to announce that his year’s Parish Night Program will be the showing of Father Barron’s “Catholicism”.  This is a ten part video series that takes the viewer around the Catholic world and explores the Church as a culture through its teachings, art, music, and architecture and most importantly the lives it shaped.  Father Barron lays out the Catholic proposal in a visually stunning and engaging series of presentations that invites everyone into the heart of the faith, which is friendship with Jesus Christ.  Father Stef will facilitate each viewing with an open discussion and a question and answer session.  We know you won’t be disappointed so please plan on attending this year’s Parish Night Program.  Parish Night sessions begin immediately following 6:30 Mass.

FLU VACCINE will be available after ALL masses on Saturday, October 23rd and Sunday, October 24th in McCrystal Hall.  Cost:  $20.00 or free to Medicare recipients - be sure to bring your Medicare card.  Please take advantage of this service of the Health Ministry.

OPPORTUNITY TO HELP OTHERS   Our parish members, Julie DuPont, Mary Scott, Karen Little, and Teena Devoto are partnering with Welcome House of Northern Kentucky in a project called “The Garden Shoppe”.  They have opened a store to benefit single-parent, lower income families who live at the Gardens at Greenup Apartments in Covington. They are looking for personal care items, cleaning supplies, home goods, clothing, shoes, toys, books and other miscellaneous items. Your new or gently-used individual donations can be delivered to one of them, or pick up is available upon request. In addition, your assistance with connections to gain financial donations is also greatly needed and very much appreciated.

COLLECTION FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE LITTLE SISTERS OF THE POOR   The Little Sisters of the Poor will be collecting donations following all masses next weekend for the support of their work among the elderly poor.  The Little Sisters operate the St. Paul’s Archbishop Leibold Home located in Clifton.  For over 143 years the sisters have been caring for the needy elderly from Cincinnati, Kentucky and Dayton, providing them with a home, nursing care and above all, love and respect.  They celebrated the canonization of their Mother Foundress, St. Jeanne Jugan on October 11, 2009.  In order to maintain their home of 95 residents, the sisters go out daily to solicit for their needs.  Any help you may be able to give them will be deeply appreciated.  

PRO-LIFE    We will continue to solicit names after all masses during the month of October for the Bishop’s “Many Faces of Pro Life Newspaper Ad”. Please sign-up outside church after mass.  We still need help at the doors for the last two weekends of the month.  If you can help, please call Linda Schuchter at 441-1220.

IMPLEMENTATION PLAN FOR THE UPCOMING CHANGE IN THE ROMAN MISSAL   Each week there will be an article relating to the upcoming changes in the Roman Missal.  (Some of them may be run more than once and they may not follow the Order of Mass.

Holy Communion, Part I

“May receiving your Body and Blood, Lord Jesus Christ, not bring me to

judgment or condemnation, but through your loving mercy let it be my protection in mind

and body, and a healing remedy.” Saying quietly this prayer or another one found in the

Roman Missal the priest prepares to receive the Body and Blood of Christ. At the same

time the faithful prepare for Holy Communion in the silence of their hearts.

Lifting the Eucharistic Bread above the chalice, the priest invites the faithful to

look upon the Lamb of God and to receive in Holy Communion a foretaste of the “Supper

of the Lamb” (Revelation 19:9) made ready for the blessed in heaven. “It is most

desirable that the faithful, just as the priest himself is bound to do, receive the Lord’s

Body from hosts consecrated at the same Mass and that, in the circumstances when it is

permitted, they partake of the chalice” (GIRM, art. 85).

The Communion chant begins while the priest is receiving the Sacrament. Like

the Entrance and Offertory chants, it is, according to tradition, an antiphon — often

drawn from the gospel of the day — and a psalm chosen to resonate with it.
