OCTOBER ROSARY DEVOTION at Holy Name The month of October each year is dedicated to the Most Holy Rosary. This is primarily due to the fact that the liturgical feast of Our Lady of the Ro-sary is celebrated annually on October 7th. It was instituted to honor the Blessed Virgin Mary in grati-tude for the protection that she gives the Church in answer to the praying of the Rosary by the faithful. Join us Monday-Saturday 6:30 PM, except Wednesday 7:30 PM after Benediction, in the Chapel.

Next Sunday’s Second Collection is for WORLD MISSION SUNDAY

World Mission Sunday, organized by the Prop-agation of the Faith, is

a day set aside for Catholics worldwide to recommit themselves

to the Church's missionary activity through prayer and sacrifice. In 2013, World Mission Sunday is celebrated on October 20.

Annually, World Mission Sunday is celebrated on the next-to-last Sunday in October. As described by Pope John Paul II, World Mission Sunday is "an important day in the life of the Church because it teaches how to give: as an offering made to God, in the Eucharistic celebration and for all the missions of the world" (see Redemptoris Missio 81). Pope John Paul II has also spoken of the Propagation of the Faith's General Fund of support, calling this a "central fund of solidari-ty." In a message delivered on a recent World Mission Sunday, the Pope said: "The offerings that will be collected [on World Mission Sun-day] are destined for a common fund of solidarity distributed, in the Pope's name, by the Society for the Propagation of the Faith among the missions and missionaries of the entire world." Every year the needs of the Catholic Church in the Missions grow - as new dioceses are formed, as new seminaries are opened because of the growing number of young men hearing Christ's call to follow Him as priests, as areas devastated by war or natural disaster are rebuilt, and as other areas, long suppressed, are opening up to hear the message of Christ and His Church. That is why the involve-ment and commitment of Catholics from around the world is so ur-gently needed. Offerings from Catholics in the United States, on World Mission Sunday and throughout the year, are combined with offerings to the Propagation of the Faith worldwide. Mission dioceses - about 1,100 at this time - receive regular annual assistance from the funds collected. In addition, these mission dioceses submit requests to the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples for assistance, among other needs, for catechetical pro-grams, seminaries, the work of Religious Communities, for communi-cation and transportation needs, and for the building of chapels, churches, orphanages and schools. These needs are matched with the funds gathered in each year. The world's national directors of the Propagation of the Faith vote on these requests, matching the funds available with the greatest needs. These funds are then distributed, in their entirety, to mission dioceses throughout the world.

COLUMBUS DAY Monday, October 14, 2013 in observance of Columbus Day, the school and parish offices will be closed. There will be one Mass at 9:00 AM in the Church.

FAZtor ‘s Notes by Fr. Arnold Zamora Fr. David Schunk, the Vocation Director of the Archdiocese of San Francisco, who came to us last weekend, is intensifying his campaign for

more vocations to the priesthood and religious life. He will be going to our Catholic schools and he is scheduled to visit Holy Name School before the end of this year. We are definitely in need of more priests to serve our Archdiocese. I know at least one priest covering for or acting as pastor for two parishes. Retired priests are also being reactivated. Priests often go out of their assigned parish to help another parish. Please pray for more vocations! This is the time of the year that our priests in the Archdiocese of San Francisco hold their annual retreat at Vallombrosa Center in Menlo Park. There are two groups scheduled for October 7-11 and October 14-18, 2013. Fr. Toan went to the first five days and it will be my turn this week. Former Archbishop of San Francisco, Most Rev. George Niederauer, is our Retreat Master this year. Please pray for your priests! People have always asked me what is the difference between a Day of Recollection and a Retreat? Sometimes, I offer my naughty definition, first that recollection means second collection and retreat means you treat me for dinner. Actually, recollection and retreat don’t have anything to do with money and food, or the material and physical aspects of a human being. In contrast, they have to do with our spiritual nourishment, our personal wellbeing and our relationship with God and with our fellow human beings. The simple difference is a matter of time. Usually, since recollec-tion by definition is an act of recalling to mind, it may be done in few hours or a day. While retreat by definition is an act of with-drawing, it is done for a couple of days. In short, retreats are long-er than recollections. Recollection, although longer in letters, it is shorter in practice than a retreat. Reminds me of a man who first came to the States. He did not know how to read and write. One day he visited the amusement park and he wanted to go to the restroom. But since he didn’t know how to read, he wasn’t sure which one is the Ladies and which one is the Gentlemen. He asked a friend to tell him the difference. His friend said: “Just count the letters, if there are more letters than the other room, that’s Gentlemen, that’s for men, that’s where you go.” So, the man went and as soon as he entered the room, the ladies were screaming. His friend said: “What happened?” The man replied: “I followed what you told me to count the letters and I went to the room that has more letters.” His friend went to check the rooms only to find out that they were marked: MEN and WOMEN.

28th Sunday in Ordinary Time: Luke 17: 11-19 Ten Lepers The road south from Nazareth in Galilee took Jesus and his

followers to the village of Nain. There in the morning shadow of the Hill of Morah Jesus was immediately recognized. Soon a great crowd gathered around him, remembering the great miracle he had per-formed there. They praised Jesus for raising a widow’s son to life as he was being brought to burial.

Jesus declined their offer to stay and continued on the main road which led along the border of Samaria. By mid-day they were in sight of Mount Gilboa and were approaching a village where they planned to stop and rest. Peter saw a group of men coming toward them and asked Jesus: “How did they find out so fast?”

Jesus shrugged, wondering himself how word of their arrival had managed to precede them. As the villagers drew closer Jesus was able to see they were staggering and lurching, some of them bent over, wrapped in rags. They were lepers.

Because Jewish law quarantined lepers, they kept their dis-tance. The ten men moved off the road, allowing Jesus to pass. They climbed higher on the hillside and positioned themselves there, begin-ning to call out: “Jesus, Master, have pity on us.”

Looking up at them, even from the distance, Jesus could see their infirmities. One had great red blotches on his swollen face. An-other was filled with scabs and clumps of hair were missing from his head. The law prescribed that once a skin disease was cured, the leper must present himself to one of the priests to be declared “clean” again. Until then, lepers were outcasts.

“Go, and let the priests examine you,” Jesus declared. Joyful hope surged through all of them as they realized what Jesus’ words meant. They ran on ahead to find the priest and on the way their skin cleared and they were restored.

One of the lepers, a man from Sebaste, in Samaria, noticed that his arms were no longer filled with scabs and sores. He stopped running and stared in amazement at his smooth arms and hands. He couldn’t find the bald spots on his scalp and his fingers traced the smooth skin of his restored face. So suddenly freed from the dreaded disease, he was overcome with gratitude and turned to run back to Jesus. Some of the disciples began to back away when they saw him coming right at them.

“Praise God, praise God!” he shouted as he came, stumbling in his robe, to fall face down in front of Jesus. “Thank you Jesus. Thank you,” he sobbed, looking up through tear-filled eyes.

Jesus asked him, “There were ten of you. Where are the other nine?”

Turning to the disciples, he asked: “Why is this foreigner, a Samaritan, the only one who came back to give thanks to God?” No-one answered. Jesus looked down at the Samaritan at his feet. “Get up and go. Your faith has made you well,” Jesus said. He got to his feet and Jesus placed his hand gently on the man’s shoulder. They began to walk along together. The disciples fell in behind and they all continued toward the village.

The lepers went out to find Jesus, hoping he would be

able to end their hopeless situation. They asked him for a cure

and they were rewarded for their faith.

The story invites us to do the same. We must go out and

find Jesus in our lives. We must ask him for help, for a cure, for

guidance. Whatever our petition, we must have both the faith

and the strength to accept his response. And whatever his re-

sponse, we must also give praise and thanks to him.

The Second Vatican Council: A 50th Anniversary Perspective By the twenty-first Ecumenical Council of the Catholic Church,

October 11, 1962-December 8, 1965; Edited by Jerry Back

Question: What authorities should be in place to promote and regu-late liturgical practices? Answer from Sacrosanctum Concilium: Zeal for the promotion and restoration of the liturgy is rightly held to be a sign of the providential dispositions of God in our time, as a movement of the Holy Spirit in His Church. It is today a distinguishing mark of the Church's life, in-deed of the whole tenor of contemporary religious thought and action. So that this pastoral-liturgical action may become even more vigorous in the Church, the sacred Council decrees: It is desirable that the competent territorial ecclesiastical authority set up a liturgical commission, to be assisted by experts in liturgical science, sacred music, art and pastoral practice. So far as possible the commission should be aided by some kind of Institute for Pastoral Liturgy, consisting of persons who are eminent in these mat-ters, and including laymen as circumstances suggest. Under the direction of the above-mentioned territorial eccle-siastical authority the commission is to regulate pastoral-liturgical action throughout the territory, and to promote studies and necessary experiments whenever there is question of adaptations to be pro-posed to the Apostolic See. For the same reason every diocese is to have a commission on the sacred liturgy under the direction of the bishop, for promoting the liturgical apostolate. Sometimes it may be expedient that several dioceses should form between them one single commission which will be able to promote the liturgy by common consultation. Besides the commission on the sacred liturgy, every dio-cese, as far as possible, should have commissions for sacred music and sacred art. These three commissions must work in closest collab-oration; indeed it will often be best to fuse the three of them into one single commission.

Editor’s Note: Sacrosanctum Concilium (the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy) has as its central aim a focus on greater participation of the laity in the liturgy. We are currently reviewing the constitution’s third chapter, “The Reform of the Sacred Liturgy.”
