ALL SOULS DAY, Nov. 2— EVENING MASS @ 7 P.M.
Our evening Mass on All Souls Day will be for all our parishioners and other loved ones who have gone to God this past
year. We will continue the practice of recent years of lighting a
candle for each parishioner and family loved one that we have
lost. Of course, all are invited to attend and participate fully in
praying for our faithful departed. Please contact Sr. Mary Elizabeth if you are a family member of one of our departed and plan
to attend this Mass. (412-661-9425 x13)

The items NOT in need are: Clothing, Computers & Monitors, Printers, Stuffed Animals, Text Books & Encyclopedias, Bread machines
& TV’s. The exclusion of clothing surprised me. I will check on this
item again. If, however, you intend to donate clothing, I am sure that
St. Vincent de Paul will welcome the gift with gratitude.
REFLECTIONS
“ THE CUP THAT I DRINK YOU WILL DRINK,
AND WITH THE BAPTISM WITH WHICH I AM
BAPTIZED, YOU WILL BE BAPTIZED; …”
We must not be disturbed by the brashness of the young Apostles James and John asking for places of honor beside Jesus in
the Kingdom. Nor should we be upset by the ‘oh so’ human
response of the rest of the Apostles to their request for preference. They did respond positively to Jesus question to them of
their willingness to “follow Him”, though they had little idea of
what was to be entailed. Brash? Yes! Part and parcel of their
faith in Jesus? YES! While Jesus took the occasion to teach
the importance of service, I cannot help but think of the lesson
to all who make and keep their baptismal vows. There will be
the cup to drink and the baptism to be imparted, but in faith the
true goal is RESURRECTION!
THE E-MAIL A PASTOR LOVES TO RECEIVE:
“On behalf of the inaugural St. Bede Crusaders varsity soccer
team, I am pleased to report that with our 7-0 victory over St.
Ursula on Saturday afternoon, we have clinched the Section 4
championship in the Diocese of Pittsburgh Soccer League. We
will also be the #2 seed in the diocesan divisional tournament
which start Nov. 1 and includes the top teams from Sections 3
and 4. We are currently 7-0, with one more game to go before
the tournament. Thank you for this opportunity to coach such a
great group of kids. I think they're truly living up to the diocesan athletic principle to "have fun, make friends, and celebrate
life."
Ken Zapinski
Thank you, Ken, and all your coaches and “staff” for your dedication to the parish and the kids.
MSGR. RALPH BEITING APPALACHIAN MISSION
For three score years Monsignor Beiting has made his way
north to Point Breeze from Louisa, Kentucky to engage us in
his apostolic work on behalf of the poor of Appalachia. It has
been a blessed project. Of course, we will miss his charming
presence and his captivating stories of real life in the mountains. God called Father Ralph to Himself this summer. I am
sure the heavens thundered with the Lord’s resounding, “Well
done, my good and faithful servant!”
This year Dominic R. Capria, Director of Operations
for the Father Beiting Appalachian Mission Center has agreed
to come to be with us on the weekend after Thanksgiving. He
will fill us in on the transition and how their work will still welcome our involvement. Dominic did send me their priority
NEED list: it includes Furniture, Appliances, Electric Heaters,
Pots, pans and utensils, Building supplies, Tools, NonPerishable food items, Diapers, Paper products, Cleaning supplies, Bottled Water (all sizes), Lightly used toys, Bedding,
School Supplies, Personal Hygiene Products. Please continue to
keep Msgr. Beiting in your prayers. (cont. col. 1)

Children’s Liturgy of the Word Service Project – Operation Christmas Child collects and donates gift-filled shoeboxes to needy children which individuals, churches, and
groups in the United States and around the world prepare and
collect. The shoeboxes are sent to children in over 100 countries in Asia, Africa, and South America. Brochures with information about how to fill and donate a shoebox are located at the
back of the church. More information is available at
www.samaritanspurse.org/occ. Although this service project
was chosen to allow the children of St Bede the opportunity to
learn to work together with others and serve those in need, all
parishioners are welcome to participate. Please contact Carolyn
Weber at 412-521-1748 or [email protected] for further information. Specific instructions are available on the
Saint Bede web site.
THANK YOU UPDATE to the 72 individuals who volunteered for S.O.S. Our next project is the Appalachian Clothing
Drive. Please contact Paula Blaney 412-363-3965 or Sue
Rudzki 412-687-4470 if you can be available the day after
Thanksgiving to make light work of loading the truck for Kentucky. More info to come!
RITE OF INTENTION FOR CONFIRMATION-At the
10:00 a.m. Mass this weekend the eighth grade students will
declare their desire to enter fully into
their preparation for the sacrament of
Confirmation. They ask you, the parish
community of St Bede, to support them
with your prayers. You can do this by
picking a card from the RED BASKET in
the back of Church. You are asked to say
the prayer on the card for the young person whose name is on
the card. Pray that they may feel the graces of the Holy Spirit as
the Confirmation preparation continues throughout the year.
Please pray also for the diocesan bishops, our pastor, teachers
and parents who are preparing the candidates for this sacrament.
THANK YOU to JUDY and CHUCK LIGHTNER and the
UNITY COMMITTEE for hosting a wonderful WELCOME
SUNDAY last weekend. Friends old and new enjoyed one another’s company along with delicious breakfast refreshments.
Parish Directory Update: We have received a proof of the
directory and are very excited about
the results. Thanks to the commitment
of many volunteers, the Lifetouch professionals and the 300 families and
individuals that are pictured, this has
been a very successful project. Directories should be received sometime in
early November and will be distributed
after masses.

On Sept. 22nd, the St. Bede School cafeteria was transformed into an Italian Trattoria for the 2011-12 Triple 3
Club Party. We wish to thank Jennifer & Joe Mico of Pino's
Contemporary Italian for catering the event with such culinary
delights as Italian roast beef, chicken scallopini, Sicilian eggplant, and a chef-made strawberry mascarpone cake. Moving
the event in-house saved us over $1,000 in party expenses,
helping us to put more of your generous donations to use for the
students. Thank you to all who helped with the event including
Carol Azar, Diana Buck, Jennifer & Ralph Hamilton, Beth
Jack, Kathy Osth, the Mico family, Linda Rizk, Andrea Rockovich, Carolyn & Doug Weber, and all of the party goers who
helped restore order to the cafeteria at evening's end. If you
have any feedback to share about the party or questions about
the Triple 3 Club, please contact Stefanie Bonavita at [email protected].
