Twenty-Eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Views From The Pews
Father Paul Hart, our Mission Director
this year, addressed our student body the
morning of the first day of the Mission. A
bunch of students talked with me after his
talk. Here are two of those comments. I believe they
capture best what everyone said.
Student #1 said, “He was awesome. He made me feel
good about myself and about God. I wish all priests were
like him.”
Student #2 said, “I loved him. He was cool. I loved what
he said and he made me laugh a lot. His cheer was good
too.”
“I’m thrilled you got a lot out of his talk. Father Paul
has been a friend of mine for many years and I’m glad
you enjoyed being with him as much as I do.”

Did You Know?
The percentage of Americans who say racism is a big
problem more than doubled between 2009 and this year.
In 2009, 26% of Americans said racism is a big problem.
Today, 58% of us say racism is a big problem.

2018 Mass Book Opens
The 2018 Mass Intention Book will open Friday, October 20th at 9 a.m. Mass Intentions will be
taken in the Church Meeting Room, not in the Pastoral Center. Specific date requests will be handled
on a first come, first served basis. In an attempt to be fair to everyone, you may only request one re-
occurring single intention mass per month. (For example, you may not chose two Noon masses in the
same month).
If you are requesting several Mass Intentions, please have a list of dates prepared before coming to the Church Meeting
Room. The stipend for each Mass is $5.00 (per date), as set by the Archdiocese.
MASS INTENTIONS WILL NOT BE TAKEN OVER THE PHONE ON THIS DAY.
