<strong>2008</strong> Rwanda Mission Appeal<br />
Today you heard Fr. Leszek Czelusniak MIC<br />
speak about the growth and development of<br />
the Marian Rwanda mission and their service<br />
to the poor and unfortunate. A large part of<br />
their ministry is to help Rwandan Catholics<br />
grow in faith, hope and charity. One way is to<br />
share insights from the apparition of Mary in<br />
Rwanda, Our Lady of Kibeho. <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Peter</strong> parish<br />
is proud to support, in solidarity, this mission. In fact<br />
it was a <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Peter</strong> parishioner, Mr. Mark Debish, who designed<br />
the banners hanging in our sanctuary and in the<br />
Marian Missions sites.<br />
If you were not able to contribute to today’s collection,<br />
please contribute directly to the Marian Helper’s Center<br />
which coordinates support for the mission. Their address<br />
is Marian Rwanda Mission, P.O. Box 716, <strong>St</strong>ockbridge,<br />
MA 01262.

In Gratitude We received a letter<br />
from Care Net Family Resource Center<br />
which expressed a great deal of gratitude<br />
for all who gave gifts at our parish baby<br />
shower two weeks ago. The letter is<br />
posted on the bulletin board in the lobby for those who<br />
would like to read it along with an itemized list of what<br />
was donated. We donated 7,854 baby care items, 2 strollers,<br />
1 car seat, baby toiletry items, 410 clothing items and<br />
23 other miscellaneous items<br />
totaling 8,429 donated items! One part of the letter reads<br />
“At a time when so many Americans are cutting back and<br />
actually hoarding personal wealth, your generosity truly is<br />
distinctive and exemplary. It is an obvious testament to<br />
your commitment to protecting the sanctity of human life,<br />
as well as your adherence to the admonition of Scripture<br />
to provide for the spiritual, emotional and physical wellbeing<br />
of one’s neighbor.”<br />
A special thank you to Fr. Robert Vennetti MIC whose<br />
leadership and direction made this Spiritual Adoption<br />
Program so successful. Thanks also to our Prayer and<br />
Worship Committee for their hard work and for all those<br />
who fervently prayed for all the unborn babies and their<br />
mothers the past 9 months. This was a great opportunity<br />
for us to grow spiritually and at the same time give a face<br />
and name to the many human lives that are in danger of<br />
being destroyed before they ever have a chance to take a<br />
breath. Please continue to pray for unborn babies and<br />
mothers who may feel frightened or unsupported in their<br />
pregnancy that God would embrace them all in His loving<br />
and tender care.<br />
Pick Up Anniversary Pictures Wedding photos<br />
that were dropped off at the rectory for our Anniversary<br />
celebration last month are still waiting to be picked up.<br />
Also, photos that were taken of all the couples at the gathering<br />
can be picked up at the rectory too. Thank you!<br />
Eucharistic Procession Thanks Praised be<br />
Jesus Christ for the splendid summer-like day as we<br />
walked in our 4th Annual Eucharistic Procession. A<br />
special thank you to all our Priests and our Deacon who<br />
were leading the way. The Altar servers of both parishes<br />
did a great job. It is no easy task to carry flags, banners<br />
and a crucifix this far. You are so appreciated! The much<br />
needed sound system worked excellently. We thank the<br />
generous donor for this gift. Thank you to Jim Brandt &<br />
Jerome for carry the speakers. Also to our members of the<br />
Police Department for keeping us safe. Mark your calendars<br />
for next year <strong>October</strong> 11 at 1:30 pm.<br />

Using the Name of God The U.S. bishops’<br />
Committee on Divine Worship recently announced a new<br />
directive from the Vatican regarding the use of the name<br />
of God in the sacred liturgy. Specifically, the word<br />
"Yahweh" may no longer be "used or pronounced" in<br />
songs and prayers during liturgical celebrations. The decision<br />
was based on long-standing Jewish and Christian<br />
traditions of not pronouncing the divine name wherever it<br />
occurs in the biblical text. You may notice some small<br />
changes to a few songs that are sung during Mass from<br />
what is printed in your missals.<br />
Unfortunately, at the time the directive was announced,<br />
the 2009 editions of these books had already been printed<br />
and, in many cases, shipped. The 2010 editions will include<br />
revised versions of the songs with updated texts.<br />

Election Recommendation We strongly urge all<br />
parishioners to register, become informed on key issues,<br />
and to vote. The Church does not support or oppose any<br />
candidate, but seeks to focus attention on the moral and<br />
human dimensions of issues. We do not authorize the distribution<br />
of partisan political materials on parish property.<br />
An Olympic effort Swimmers captured the headlines<br />
over the summer at the Beijing Olympics. A few<br />
months after Michael Phelps' record setting performance,<br />
a local Catholic swimmer also competed in the same pool<br />
where Phelps collected his medals. While he didn't come<br />
home with a medal from the Paralympic Games, <strong>St</strong>. Francis<br />
Borgia parishioner, Tom Miazga, who has limited use<br />
of his legs due to cerebral palsy, is by anyone's standards<br />
a winner in the game of life. Read about his accomplishments<br />
in the <strong>October</strong> 23 issue of your Catholic Herald.<br />

World Priest Day <strong>October</strong> 26 is the celebration of<br />
World Priest Day. World Priest Day is a celebration and<br />
affirmation of the men who commit their lives to the Lord<br />
and the Church via the Sacrament of Holy Orders. Take a<br />
moment next Sunday to say thank you to our priests.<br />
Roots of Faith: Catholic Basics for Adults<br />
Do you feel like your children know more about the<br />
Catholic faith than you do? Do you have a desire to learn<br />
more about what our Church teaches and believes? Roots<br />
of Faith is an ongoing, monthly series which provides<br />
basic information about the Catholic faith, and an opportunity<br />
to pose questions on the selected topic. Each month<br />
you have two opportunities to participate in a 90-minute<br />
presentation and discussion focused on a core teaching or<br />
practice of the Church. This month, the topic will be:<br />
“Catholic Traditions: Saints, Holydays, and Holidays,”<br />
presented by Danny Rodriguez from <strong>St</strong>. Mark’s. This will<br />
be a delightful and entertaining presentation on the way<br />
the Church has celebrated certain men and women who<br />
have lived the Paschal Mystery and honored them as<br />
saints, as well as some of the customs and traditions that<br />
have evolved through the centuries. Dates and times: <strong>St</strong>.<br />
Mary’s <strong>Parish</strong> Center, Monday, <strong>October</strong> 20 at 7 pm and<br />
<strong>St</strong>. Therese Church (Lower Level) on Sunday, <strong>October</strong> 26<br />
at 1 pm. Family rated for all ages, please come and join<br />
us, and realize that even today, in our very own lives,<br />
there are rich opportunities given to us all to become<br />
saints, as well! Celebrate our Holydays, and enjoy the<br />
upcoming holidays…
