“Son of David, have pity on 

me.” Jesus stopped and said, 

“Call him.” So they called the 

blind man, saying to him, 

“Take courage; get up, Jesus is 

calling you.” Jesus said to him 

in reply, “what do you want 

me to do for you?” The blind 

man replied to him, “Master, I 

want to see.”

FEAST OF ALL SAINTS 

A HOLY DAY OF OBLIGATION 

Mass will be celebrated on 

Thursday, November 1 

at 9am and at 7pm.

Page 2 

By: Deacon Franz 

I’m sure you’ve all heard about the year of faith 

promulgated by Pope Benedict XVI…I found information 

from various sources and I hope it answers some of your 

questions: 

What is the Year of Faith? 

Pope Benedict XVI has set aside a special year for Catholics 

throughout the world to rediscover, and share with others, the 

precious gift of Faith entrusted to the Church and the 

personal gift of faith that we have each received from God 

the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. 

When is the Year of Faith? 

Pope Benedict XVI has decreed that the Catholic Church will 

observe the Year of Faith between 11 October 2012 and 24 

November 2013. 

What is special about the dates for the Year of Faith? 

Pope Benedict has chosen to open the Year of Faith on the 11 

October 2012 because that date is the anniversary of two 

important events in the life of the Catholic Church: The 11th 

of October is the 50th anniversary of the opening of the 

Second Vatican Council (11 October 1962 - 8 December 

1965). The 11th October is also the 20th anniversary of the 

publication of the Catechism of the Catholic Church by 

Blessed John Paul II. The Year of Faith will close on 24 

November 2013, the Solemn Feast of Christ the King 

throughout the world. 

Why is the anniversary of the Second Vatican Council so 

important that it marks the opening of the Year of Faith? 

Pope Benedict explains that though the Second Vatican 

Council occurred half a century ago it remains ‘the great 

grace bestowed on the Church in the twentieth century’ that 

is ‘a sure compass by which to take our bearings in the 

century now beginning.’ The Holy Father is also convinced 

that the Second Vatican Council, if interpreted and 

implemented according to the mind of the Church stretching 

back to the Apostles, ‘can be and can become increasingly 

powerful for the ever necessary renewal of the Church’. 

(Porta Fidei, 5). This is why an important component of the 

Year of Faith will be reflection and rediscovery of the riches 

contained in the texts of Vatican II. 

What are Pope Benedict’s hopes for each one of us during 

the Year of Faith? 

The Holy Father wants us to rediscover the journey of faith 

so as to shed ever clearer light on the joy and renewed 

enthusiasm of the encounter with Christ. He wants us to 

rediscover a taste for feeding ourselves on the word of God, 

faithfully handed down by the Church, and on the bread of 

life, offered as sustenance for his disciples (cf. Jn 6:51). To 

take the opportunity to read the documents of Vatican II 

correctly, help them become widely known and take them to 

heart as important and normative texts of the Magisterium. 

To approach the Year of Faith as a time of purification for the 

Church and for individuals, a summons to an authentic and 

renewed conversion to the Lord. To intensify our reflection 

of faith, so we acquire a more conscious and vigorous 

adherence to the Gospel, especially at a time of profound 

change such as humanity is currently experiencing. To 

profess our faith in the Risen Lord in our cathedrals and in 

the churches of the whole world; in our homes and among 

our families, so that everyone may continue next column 

St. Ronald, Clinton Township 

For many years I had the hardest time appreciating St. Paul. 

I always thought I would not like him if I met him and that 

was probably true but as I read his letters more, I figured 

maybe if I knew him better I would change my mind. Guess 

what? I did. St. Paul stands tall among the heroes of the world 

for his single-minded focus. He only had one goal and 

that was to give the message of Christ to as many people as 

possible and once given, continue to nurture every single 

community with letters and by sending other evangelists to 

help them grow in faith. His letters are sometimes downright 

cranky like an annoyed parent but, always like a parent’s, they 

were motivated by love. As you read his letters, you are struck 

by the depth of that love. 

That is what Christ does to people. He truly is the Light of 

the World. He has shone the love of God to us and lighted the 

darkest corners of the world and gave us hope. If we believe 

that, really believe it, then we ought to be make an effort to 

share it. Surely the world needs that hope. We might not be 

St. Paul, but we can do our best just as he did. 

Carol Lemelin, Worship Coordinator 

THIS AND THAT by Dcn. Franz cont from previous column 

feel a strong need to know better and to transmit to future 

generations the faith of all times. The Holy Father wants the 

Year of Faith to arouse in every believer the aspiration to 

profess the faith in fullness and with renewed conviction, with 

confidence and hope. He wants us to intensify the celebration 

of the faith in the liturgy, especially in the Eucharist, which is 

“the summit towards which the activity of the Church is 

directed; … and also the source from which all its power 

flows.” To rediscover the content of the faith that is professed, 

celebrated, lived and prayed, and to reflect on the act of faith, 

is a task that every believer must make his own, especially in 

the course of this Year. In order for us rediscover the content 

of the faith, the Holy Father proposes that the Year of Faith 

will have to see a concerted effort to rediscover and study the 

fundamental content of the faith that receives its systematic 

and organic synthesis in the Catechism of the Catholic Church. 

Pope Benedict is clear that faced with the urgent need for the 

purification of the Church the ‘one thing that will be of 

decisive importance in this Year is retracing the history of our 

faith, marked as it is by the unfathomable mystery of the 

interweaving of holiness and sin.’ By this the Holy Father 

means to encourage each one of us to become familiar with the 

great figures of our Faith, from Mary and the Apostles, to the 

saints, martyrs, confessors and virgins. Porta Fidei, 13. 

Taking up one of the recurring themes of his pontificate, the 

Holy Father expresses the hope that the Year of Faith will also 

be a good opportunity for each one of us to intensify the 

witness of charity, which is faith in action. Pope Benedict 

concludes with a beautiful expression of his hopes for us: 

‘Intent on gathering the signs of the times in the present of 

history, faith commits every one of us to become a living sign 

of the presence of the Risen Lord in the world. What the world 

is in particular need of today is the credible witness of people 

enlightened in mind and heart by the word of the Lord, and 

capable of opening the hearts and minds of many to the desire 

for God and for true life, life without end.’ Porta Fidei, 15 

I hope this guide to frequently asked questions helps. 

God Bless, Deacon Franz

THANKSGIVING 

FOOD DRIVE 

The Thanksgiving Food Drive continues and will 

run until Sunday, November 11, 2012. 

Please use the “SVdP Thanksgiving Food Drive” envelope that was sent to you in your 

September, October and November packet of envelopes to send in your cash or check donation 

(payable to St.Vincent de Paul). SVdP will then use the donations to purchase turkeys and 

food gift cards for the families we will be helping this Thanksgiving. If you prefer, you may 

purchase a food gift card(s) at Meijer or Kroger’s in increments of $10, $20, $25, or $50. 

With all the different dietary needs and special diets we have encountered in helping those less 

fortunate, we believe giving them the ability to purchase their “holiday meal of choice” is the 

best gift we can give them. The amount that each family will receive will depend on the family 

size. 

Please put your SVdP Thanksgiving Food Drive donations in the collection baskets during 

Mass or drop them off in the office. 

If you have any questions, feel free to call the parish office at 792-1190. 

Adopt A Family For Christmas

about adopting a family for Christmas, 

but the Giving Tree will be up November 10th. 

Any family being adopted will not have gift tags put on 

the Giving Tree. 

They will go to the person/company adopting them. 

Therefore, we must hear from you by Monday, November 5 th

the information.

More From Deacon Franz: 

Harley-Davidson And Pope Benedict Mark 110th Anniversary 

Celebration Milestone 

ROME, Oct. 3, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ - Next June, tens of thousands of Harley-Davidson riders and fans from around 

the globe are expected to make their way to Italy's capital city to celebrate Harley-Davidson's 110th Anniversary and the shared 

passion for freedom that unites riders everywhere. 

Today, Pope Benedict XVI along with Willie G. Davidson, grandson of one of Harley-Davidson's founders and his son, Bill 

Davidson, Vice President of the Harley-Davidson Museum, launched the countdown to Harley-Davidson's 110th Anniversary event 

in Rome, June 13-16, 2013, by presenting two commemorative motorcycle gas tanks to the Pope for a blessing. The tanks will be 

signed by Pope Benedict, Willie G. and Bill, and mounted on two motorcycles - one will return to the company's hometown of 

Milwaukee, and displayed at the Harley-Davidson Museum, while the other will be auctioned to support the Good Samaritan 

Foundation. 

Highlights of Harley-Davidson's 110th Anniversary Celebration in Rome next year include a party in the Port of Ostia, a parade 

through the heart of Rome, two headlining concerts at Stadio Olimpico and a papal bike blessing at St. Peter's Square. "We're 

anticipating next year's celebration in Rome to be one of the largest events we've ever held outside the U.S. "That is a strong 

testament to our continued global transformation as we respond to our growing fan base all over the world." The year-long 

celebration features 12 anniversary experiences the company will bring to existing motorcycle events in global markets through 

September 2013. For more information, Harley-Davidson fans are invited to join the celebration online where they can share their 

personal stories and riding experiences on Facebook, Twitter with the hashtag #HD110, and at www.h-d.com/110 . The website 

features details about the 110th Anniversary events and content posted from fans around the world. 

Let’s see, how much vacation time I have next year and how do I get my motorcycle to Rome…hey, maybe the Pope will go for a 

ride with me. That would be a stitch, Deacon Harley and the Pope…go figure. God Bless, Dcn. Franz

(Look for the article by Mrs. Kim Jacob elsewhere in this 

bulletin.) Very exciting things are happening. It is my hope 

and prayer that you will support the new Youth Minister.

Youth Ministry 

News Kim Jacob 

Wow! We had a great turnout for the Youth Day Open House. 

I am very pleased with the number of youth that signed up to 

be a part of Youth Ministry here. To reiterate what I said in 

church last Sunday that as a parish we need to make every 

youth member feel welcome at every mass/function. The 

Catholic Bishops of the United States call parishes to become 

“youth friendly communities”. A youth friendly parish values 

youth by making them feel welcome, listening to them, 

responding to their needs with age appropriate programming, 

and supports youth with “prayer, time, facilities, and money”. 

Secondly, the parish sees youth as resources by empowering 

gifts of youth, provides meaningful roles for youth in the 

community, and acknowledges their efforts and contributions. 

Lastly, the parish should encourage intergenerational 

relationships by connecting youth to role models/ mentors and 

by including youth in the life of the parish: prayer, learning, 

serving and, celebrating. 

Middle School Ministry will meet this 

Tuesday night from 7:45 to 8:30 in room 

103. High School Youth Group will meet 

tonight from 6pm to 8pm in the Hall. 

Bring your friends and your enthusiasm! Have a blessed week!

Those who seek to serve us in government office, that 

by their love for every human being, from conception to

protectors of the defenseless and 

guardians of the innocent.
