The Sacraments
The Sacrament of Reconciliation: Confessions are heard each week on Saturday at the Church (SR #46) from
3:45pm to 4:45pm or by calling the parish office to make an appointment with a priest. Learn more about this
beautiful sacrament by visiting our website: www.allsoulssanford.org/reconciliation
The Sacrament of Baptism: Call the parish office to learn the necessary requirements and make an appointment
with Fr. Kenneth Metz to have your child baptized. Ask us about the requirements for Godparents.
The Sacrament of Marriage: Getting married? Congratulations! The process of being married in the Catholic
Church could take between 6 months to a year to complete. Please contact Ann Cammarata at the parish office as
soon as possible after your engagement if you would like to be married at All Souls Catholic Church.
Anointing of the Sick: Please call the parish office. The Rite of Anointing tells us there is no need to wait until a person
is at the point of death to receive the Sacrament. Did you know that the Sacrament may be repeated if the person
becomes sick again? A person should be anointed before surgery when a dangerous illness is the reason for the
intervention.
Eucharistic Ministry to the Sick and Homebound: If you are unable to attend Mass, please call the parish office so
we may assist you in having a visit from one of our ministers or one of our priests.
Catholic Funeral and Burial: Please call the parish office or have the funeral home director contact us to arrange
the Funeral Mass and for more information about burial at All Souls Catholic Cemetery.
Our Online Homilies: If you missed Mass over the weekend you may view the weekly homily by visiting:

Scripture Reflection—26th Sunday in Ordinary Time
"'My child, remember that you received what was good during your lifetime while Lazarus likewise received what was bad.'" Today's Gospel reading is Jesus' parable about a "rich man," whose name we do not know, and a "poor man," named Lazarus. The story shows both men after death, the rich man in torment, and Lazarus enjoying the comfort that he was deprived of during his earthly life. It's important to understand that this teaching does not imply that having wealth leads to eternal punishment. Rather, we look at how the rich man USED his wealth and see there the cause of the problem. As Jesus says, this man "dressed in purple garments and fine linen and dined sumptuously each day." Clearly, he had abundant wealth and focused it all upon serving himself. To further the accusation against him, all the while "lying at his door was a poor man—who would gladly have eaten his fill of the scraps that fell from the rich man's table." But the rich man paid Lazarus no heed, and THIS is why he now suffers. Because he would not deign to "suffer" at all during his life by sharing his linen clothing or feeding his poor neighbor covered with sores. This selfishness became the rich man's SELF-condemnation. He put himself in torment because he blatantly disobeyed God's law to love his neighbor. This challenging parable urges us to examine our own behavior and ask how WE use our wealth--whatever size our bank account may be. Are we willing to assist our neighbors in need? Or do we walk by the poor, excusing our own comfort? Let us heed Christ's warning today that such earthly comforts are, in the long run, short-lived. LPI, Inc.

26º Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario En este domingo como en el pasado el lenguaje de Amós suena claro y directo para las personas que disfrutaban de las comodidades de sus bienes materiales, sin pensar, mucho menos compartir, con los oprimidos. Recordemos que en tiempos del profeta Amós se vivían tiempos prósperos pero las riquezas las controlaban unos pocos. Por lo tanto la pobreza abundaba. A pesar de las circunstancias la voz del profeta anuncia esperanza --Dios actuará en favor de los oprimidos, los injustos recibirán las consecuencias de sus actos: "¡Ay de ustedes, los que se sienten seguros en Sión y los que ponen su confianza en el monte sagrado de Samaria!" (Am 6, 1). Este texto está basado en la destrucción de Samaria en el año 722 a.c. y a la deportación que se llevó a cabo. Por consecuencia la parábola de hoy nos habla directamente a tomar una actitud de conversión. El poseer riquezas no es malo sino lo malo es el apego a ellas. Solo existen dos caminos, el que lleva a la vida y el que lleva a la perdición. Jesús lo explica mejor cuando hace mención de las bienaventuranzas. "Dichosos ustedes los pobres, porque de ustedes es el Reino de Dios" (Lc 6, 20). Y en el mismo pasaje nos dice. "Pero, ¡ay de ustedes, los ricos, porque ya tienen ahora su consuelo!" (Lc 6, 24). El Evangelio nos indica en todo momento el modo de vivir practicando la justicia, haciéndolo seremos misericordiosos. ¡Eso es lo que Dios espera de nosotros día a día! ¿A quién represento en mi vida, a Lázaro o al rico?

Make All Souls your parish home, today!
Often people attend Mass at All Souls for several years, but never register. Registering here is a declaration of your desire to be part of
a Catholic community and to make a commitment to the life of All Souls Church. Being a registered parishioner makes the process much easier when it is time for infant baptism, school or religious education registration, weddings, when asked to be a baptismal or confirmation sponsor, and even funerals. A registered parishioner receives all parish mailings, too. Church law advises that territories or boundaries no longer limit parish registration. All Souls accepts anyone who wants to share in the life of the parish regardless of where they live. In order to register, you need to complete a registration card. These may be found in the narthex of the church or chapel, the parish office during the week or online at our parish website: www.allsoulssanford.org. Why not sign up today?
We Love New Members! Jeffrey, Christina, Valeria & Jeffery Matos

Dear Parishioners, On occasion, you may see a family or a person asking for financial assistance outside of Church after Mass. Our hearts, filled with Christian charity want to help in some way—most especially if there are children involved. However, we ask that you please do not give money, but rather refer these people to our Society of St. Vincent de Paul. Our Vincentian volunteers are ever-ready to come to the aid of those in our community who seek assistance: 407.330.4400

Dogs, cats, guinea
pigs, birds, fowl, lions, tigers and bears (oh my!) will all receive a very special blessing. Please have animals on a leash, or in a crate to maintain a fittingly Franciscan air of peace. Additionally, please bring the necessary materials to ‘curb your pet.’ May you always take care of your pets as you would take care of yourself—for they, too are great gifts from God.
