We call to mind and pray to the known saints and those who have died, who are in the peace of paradise. Each Catholic, upon baptism, must be given a saints name. For example, my first name Owen is a derivative of Eugene. My second name Brendan, calls to mind the Irish navigator and saint. Sometimes parents will choose a cute name that isn’t a saint’s name. In this situation, the parents must ensure the second name is the name of a saint. Since the early days of Christianity we who are Christian call to mind our patron or patroness after whom we are called. We strive to emulate their lives and seek their intercession on our journey through life. Parents – it’s a good idea to help your child know their saint/saints and help them research who that holy person is, that intercedes for them and supports them. The month of November is traditionally a month when we pray for our beloved dead. On November 2 nd , the Feast of All Souls, we remember all the dead and pray for the repose of their souls. God gives every human being the gift of life and for those of us who are Catholic, we are expected to attend Mass weekly and receive Holy Communion frequently. We are expected to go to confession a minimum once a year or as necessary and live in a state of grace. When we commit a sin we fall from the state of grace. Should we fall out of the state of grace, our soul goes to purgatory where we need to be cleansed in order to attain the glory of the Kingdom of Heaven. A soul in purgatory depends on the Mass intentions, prayers and sacrifices of the “faithful” to lift them from purgatory to the glory of Heaven. During this month I invite each of you to make out a list of family and friends who have died. Pray for them at Mass, offer a Rosary for them, and sacrifice for them. It is also important to pray for the “lost soul.” This is a soul in purgatory who has no family or friends to pray for them and it depends on us to lift them to the Glory of Heaven. We know that God’s wish is that we all attain the glory of Heaven. Given that however, we have a freedom of choice and must follow Catholic teaching to attain the Kingdom of Heaven. As your pastor I am responsible for every soul in our parish and pray especially for those who are weak in faith and not living a strong Catholic life. Fr. Matthew and I, as your priests, are always available for confession. As you are aware, we have an emergency line for the dying. It is our greatest desire that those who are ill or dying call upon us to give them the Sacrament of the Sick; to cleanse and strengthen them on their journey of faith. If you or a family member or a neighbor needs the Sacrament of the Sick, don’t wait too long. Call us so that God’s graces can bestow cleansing and courage to the one who is ill or dying. I had an email from Fr. Andrew and he asked me to send you his prayerful good wishes. He’s studying Holy Scripture in Rome. He’s really enjoying these early months of being a priest and assures us of his prayers and Mass intentions. Father Owen

Thirty-First Sunday in Ordinary Time November 5, 2017
November 1st is always a joyful day to remember the saints of the Holy Roman
Catholic Church. We call to mind and pray to the known saints and those who have
died, who are in the peace of paradise. Each Catholic, upon baptism, must be given a
saints name. For example, my first name Owen is a derivative of Eugene. My second
name Brendan, calls to mind the Irish navigator and saint. Sometimes parents will
choose a cute name that isn’t a saint’s name. In this situation, the parents must ensure the second name
is the name of a saint. Since the early days of Christianity we who are Christian call to mind our patron
or patroness after whom we are called. We strive to emulate their lives and seek their intercession on our
journey through life. Parents – it’s a good idea to help your child know their saint/saints and help them
research who that holy person is, that intercedes for them and supports them.
The month of November is traditionally a month when we pray for our beloved dead. On
November 2nd
, the Feast of All Souls, we remember all the dead and pray for the repose of their souls.
God gives every human being the gift of life and for those of us who are Catholic, we are expected
to attend Mass weekly and receive Holy Communion frequently. We are expected to go to confession a
minimum once a year or as necessary and live in a state of grace. When we commit a sin we fall from the
state of grace. Should we fall out of the state of grace, our soul goes to purgatory where we need to be
cleansed in order to attain the glory of the Kingdom of Heaven. A soul in purgatory depends on the Mass
intentions, prayers and sacrifices of the “faithful” to lift them from purgatory to the glory of Heaven.
During this month I invite each of you to make out a list of family and friends who have died. Pray for
them at Mass, offer a Rosary for them, and sacrifice for them. It is also important to pray for the “lost
soul.” This is a soul in purgatory who has no family or friends to pray for them and it depends on us to
lift them to the Glory of Heaven.
We know that God’s wish is that we all attain the glory of Heaven. Given that however, we have a
freedom of choice and must follow Catholic teaching to attain the Kingdom of Heaven. As your pastor I
am responsible for every soul in our parish and pray especially for those who are weak in faith and not
living a strong Catholic life. Fr. Matthew and I, as your priests, are always available for confession. As
you are aware, we have an emergency line for the dying. It is our greatest desire that those who are ill or
dying call upon us to give them the Sacrament of the Sick; to cleanse and strengthen them on their
journey of faith. If you or a family member or a neighbor needs the Sacrament of the Sick, don’t wait too
long. Call us so that God’s graces can bestow cleansing and courage to the one who is ill or dying.
I had an email from Fr. Andrew and he asked me to send you his prayerful good wishes. He’s
studying Holy Scripture in Rome. He’s really enjoying these early months of being a priest and assures
us of his prayers and Mass intentions.

Choosing a Godmother or Godfather
In choosing a Godmother or Godfather the Catholic parents must
ensure that the Godparent is a baptized Catholic who has received
the Sacrament of Confirmation.
The Godparent should be an active Catholic (attend Mass every
weekend) and be willing to show their love of Christ with the child
they’re standing up for.
Sometimes parents confuse the role of Godparents with the role of
guardian. The Godparent is not responsible for taking care of the
child if the parent should die. However, they are responsible to help
teach the Catholic faith to their Godchild by word, deed and
example.

SACRAMENTS Baptism
We celebrate the sacrament of Baptism most Sundays. Parents are welcome to have the Baptism celebrated either at a week-end Mass or at the Liturgy of Baptism at 1:15. To make arrangements for Baptism please call Father Owen or Fr. Matthew. Godparents must be confirmed and be active members of the church and attend Mass regularly.
Sacrament of Reconciliation Every Saturday at 8:15 – 8:45 and 4:45 – 5:15 (or by appointment with Fr. Owen or Fr. Matthew).
Sacrament of Marriage Please contact Fr. Owen or Fr. Matthew and set up an appointment. Any Catholic couple needs approximately a year to prepare for the Sacrament of Marriage, which includes sessions with the Priest celebrating the marriage and attendance at Pre-Cana conferences.
Sacrament of the Sick / Hospital Visits At St. Rose we are strongly committed to the spiritual care of the sick. Because of privacy laws, hospitals and nursing homes are not allowed to release the patient’s religious affiliation. Therefore, we must depend on families of our sick parishioners to inform us of their whereabouts and condition. Please notify the parish office of any need for a home or hospital visit.
RCIA The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults is a program for people who seek full initiation in the Catholic Church through the reception of the Sacraments of Baptism, Eucharist and Confirmation, which are received at Easter Vigil.
