"Brothers and sisters, do not be afraid to welcome
Christ and accept his power ... Open wide the doors
for Christ. To his saving power open the boundaries
of states, economic and political systems, the vast
fields of culture, civilization and development."

Family Perspective: Jesus is saying to you what he said to Zacchaeus, “I must stay at your house today.” It doesn’t matter if in today’s gospel Jesus “intended to pass through Jericho to another town.” In families we sometimes stop at the wrong places. It is wisdom to “pass through” annoying family situations
so we can enjoy the goodness of each other.
Marriage Moments: Oct. 31 is Halloween in which our culture celebrates spirits - both scary and beautiful. Nov. 1 is All Saints Day on which we remember the Godly humans who came before
us. Who inspires you to goodness?
Families Always Matter: Please visit the Families Always Matter website, www.eriercd.org/fam.htm, and get all the details about the 1st Annual Family Fest coming up on Sunday, November 13, 2016 at the Ambassador Conference Center in Erie. Round up the family and plan to be there. GO FAMILIES!
St. Mark’s Hats for the Homeless Winter will be here before you know it and once again there
will be a need for winter gear. You can help!

Make a monetary donation to be used toward the purchase of

Boxes for donations located at the doors of the Church ??Questions?? Call Janet Smith @ 899-5495 or Pat Marshall @ 899-3000
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
In recent weeks Hurricane Matthew and
other storms have devastated significant
portions of the southeastern United States
and the Caribbean, especially Haiti. While
many have begun to assist, we realize that
the road to restoration will be long, and
additional support will be needed.
To help with this process of recovery, the U.S.
Conference of Catholic Bishops has called for a special
collection, which will be taken up in our parishes on the
weekend of November 5-6. These funds will be used to
support the efforts of Catholic Relief Services and Catholic
Charities USA, as they reach out to provide humanitarian aid;
help in restoring communities that have suffered widespread
destruction; and assist in the repair and reconstruction of
Catholic churches and institutions.
As always, I am grateful for the generosity shown by the
people of the Diocese of Erie. You and your families remain
in my prayer.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
+ Lawrence T. Persico
The Most Reverend Lawrence T. Persico, JCL
Bishop of Erie
For Next Week
Questions for the week: So, here we are—living on earth. Here is where faith and hope and charity guide us until the evening of life, when we lay down the tools we no longer need. And we set aside faith and hope, too. We don’t need those either, for we will see face to face. All we will need is charity. That’s life. And it accounts for eternity. Saint Teresa of Avila once said, “All the way to heaven is heaven, because he said, ‘I am the Way.’ “ How is this true in your life? Saint John of the Cross said, “In the evening of life we will be judged on love.” What do you think about this statement? In the Alternate Opening Prayer for this Mass, we ask God to “enfold our desire with the beauty of truth.” Think of what you really want. How
does it relate to the “beauty of truth?” In other words, are God’s will and your will the same?
