 IN OUR PARISH 

PARISH CENSUS    If you have not yet verified your registration information, you can come to the parish office during the week to check your information.  The office is open Monday - Friday from 9:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.  Those who do this will not get a home visit from our census workers.  Also, if you are willing to be a census taker, we still need your help.  Please contact Ann Ulbricht at 441-8159 to sign up.  We will be holding 2 training sessions here for the workers on Monday, October 3rd and Wednesday, October 12th at 7:00 p.m.  Please prayerfully consider volunteering for this, as many workers are needed to complete this task.  

FR. IAN MCDOLE      As many of you know, Fr. Ian has been celebrating mass here since the summer.  However, he is returning to Rome to continue his studies, so his last mass here will be on Saturday, October 1st at 8:00 a.m.  This means that the last Monday morning mass will be tomorrow, September 26th.  Please keep Fr. Ian in your prayers as he travels to Rome.  

WE WELCOME   to our parish family through baptism:  Luke Anderson Kramer, son of Drew and Anita.  May this day be for him the beginning of a life filled with God's mercy, grace and love, and a future blessed with happiness and hope.  

PARISH FEST 2011   will be held TODAY,  Sunday, September 25th from 4:00 p.m. - 7:30 p.m. Grilled items, smoked pork and beverages will be provided, just bring a side dish to share.  There will be games, fun and music for all ages, so be sure to come and share an evening with your fellow parishioners!

RN's and LNP's NEEDED    to help administer flu shots at church and at school.  Call 491-8771 to volunteer.

WELCOME OUR NEW MEMBERS    Stop by McCrystal Hall next Sunday, October 2nd, after the 9:00 a.m. mass for the New Members Welcome Breakfast.  Join fellow parishioners for breakfast and meet the newest members of the St. Catherine Parish family.

Bus to Pro-Life Mass   Pray for the sanctity of life on Tuesday, October 4th at the Pro-Life mass at the Cathedral. With bus transportation from St. Catherine to the Cathedral, you don’t have to worry about parking.  The bus will leave the St Catherine parking lot promptly at 6:15pm.  Call the parish office, 441-1352, and get your reservation in quickly so we know what size bus to reserve.  This year we will have pro-lifers from St. Philip also joining us on the bus.  It will be a great chance to meet and unite with other pro-life supporters and prayer warriors. We will have Benediction at 5:45 p.m. that day, so that you will have plenty of time to attend and still get on the bus.

CHILDREN’S LITURGY OF THE WORD    This program will be starting again on Sunday, October 9th at the 9:00 a.m. mass.  It is open to children kindergarten – 5th grade and is held on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of the month during the 9:00 am mass.   The children are taken to McCrystal hall and read the readings and Gospel from the children’s lectionary and participate in a guided reflection about the Gospel. 

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 on 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.

Alleluia

“Then I heard what seemed to be the voice of a great multitude, like the sound of

many waters and like the sound of mighty thunderpeals, crying, ‘Alleluia’” (Revelation

19:6). Alleluia means “praise the Lord.” It is a cry of jubilation, the sound of pure,

undiluted joy. We sing Alleluia to welcome and greet Christ, the Bridegroom-King,

present in the proclamation of the holy Gospel. Alleluia says, “We recognize you, O

Christ, and welcome you with inexpressible gladness.” The last syllable of Alleluia — ia

— is derived from the Hebrew Yahweh. In the Church’s ancient tradition of liturgical

chant, this last syllable becomes a river of ecstatic sound, a prolonged cry that climbs

above the zone of words.

The Alleluia is sung in every season other than Lent. The return of the Alleluia at

the Easter Vigil is a solemn and glorious moment. Three times it is intoned by the priest

and repeated by the people. At other times the Alleluia is intoned by the cantor and

repeated by the whole congregation. The cantor sings a short verse that sums up the

Gospel of the day. Then, as the Book of the Gospel arrives at the ambo, the people

acclaim Christ with a final Alleluia and stand ready to hear his voice.
