NUGGET OF WISDOM FROM FR. IVAN'S HOMILY

The centrality and importance of love as a spiritual gift narrow down the actions required to attain the Kingdom. By perfecting love, we reveal the divine image within us and demonstrate our desire for eternal communion with our Creator. Mt 22:34-40

CARITAS URGET NOS

Fr. Ivan

Thank you to all who contributed to the Collection for the Seminarian Education Fund. These gifts will provide funds for tuition, room and board, books, healthcare and retreats for our seminarians. Your investment in our seminarians is a prayerful commitment to your Church and to your brothers and sisters in Christ. If you have not made your gift, please drop your envelope into the offertory basket today or next weekend. Please continue to pray for our seminarians, for members of our clergy, and for vocations to the priesthood.

NOTICE REGARDING NOVEMBER OFFERTORY ENVELOPES
We have been notified that some parishioners have not yet received their November offertory envelopes due to an ongoing mailing/production delay with our vendor, Cathedral Corporation. They are aware of the issue and are actively working to resolve it as quickly as possible.

What you can do in the meantime:

• Use a Plain Envelope: You may use any standard blank envelope for your contribution. Please write your full name, mailing address, and envelope number (if known) on the outside so your donation can be properly recorded.
• Online Giving: If you prefer, you can also make your weekly or monthly contribution securely through our parish online giving portal.

We sincerely appreciate your patience, understanding, and continued support.

OCTOBER IS RESPECT LIFE MONTH
Don’t forget to pick up your baby bottle for the Annual Baby Bottle Campaign. Your spare change will help Care Net Pregnancy services minister to women and men who are experiencing an unplanned pregnancy. Please fill your bottle with change, cash and/or check and return to church by November 1, 2026.
