“A man was feasting
everyday…” Luke 16:19
Amos 6:1, 4-7 - Rich and Poor
The gap between rich and poor is uncomfortably large. If you can read, you
already have advantages over many other people in the world. If you
worship in a church building and have printed copies of bulletins and
worship aids, you have resources far beyond those of many others.
Most people are unaware of their privileges. They do not live in the squalor
of poverty. They forget it is there, except in photographs and letters of
appeal. They see the gap between themselves and those who are richer,
but they ignore the gap between themselves and the poor.

Weekday Celebrations
of the Eucharist:
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
at 9:15 am
The prophet Amos had no patience with the rich. They lived a comfortable
life: They lay on beds of ivory. They ate meat. They played music. They
drank wine by the bowlful. They anointed themselves with the best oils and
perfumes. They had it all and used it all. They showed little concern for the
poor.
Office Hours:
Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday
9:00 am - 5:00 pm
(closed 12 noon - 1:00 pm)
Amos could envision another society, a society in which the rich shared.
Those with more resources have more responsibility to help those who
have less.
Read the bulletin on our website:
www.st-timothy.ca
The rich who thought they had it all lost it all in the exile. When Jerusalem
was taken into captivity, invaders took interest in the booty of the rich. The
poor had nothing. They had nothing to lose. But the rich lost it all.
Our possessions hold us captive to our desires, to our fears, and to
ourselves. Freedom is in giving, not in possessing.

Thank you to everyone who signed up last weekend for ARISE
Together in Christ! We look forward to a fruitful, faith-filled fall!
So, how do I know what group I’m in?
The ARISE team will be meeting shortly to determine the
groupings. Once they have been created, your group leader will receive a list of group members and
will contact you with information about your first faith sharing session!
What about my books? Where do I get those?
Books will be sold for $5. Your group leader will let you know as soon as the books are available for
purchase. Please make every effort to get them before the season starts so you can prepare! (Stayed
tuned for when and where to get your book.)
Oh no! I forgot to sign up last week!
That’s ok – you have one more chance! This weekend there is a sign-up sheet on the ARISE table in the
narthex for you to add your information. Otherwise your final deadline to register with the office is this
Tuesday by NOON, October 1st as we need to place our order for the participant work books.
Season 3 starts the week of Oct 21st! Please pray for the success of the ARISE
program at St. Tim’s. If you have any further questions please contact the parish
office for assistance at 204-949-3760.
The weeklong 25th Anniversary Celebrations were a huge success!
There was something for everyone!
A fun time was had at the BBQ hotdog supper after the 5 pm mass on
Saturday, September 8th. About 200 parishioners attended the Knights of
Columbus hosted event. Special thanks going to Peter and Jennifer Porco,
their team who grilled at the giant BBQ, and all their hotdog helpers!
Thanks also to the families, especially the youth, who worked the fish pond and artistically painted
the faces of the young and young-at-heart! Everyone enjoyed eating among the beautiful gardens
(Thank you Garden Ministry Team!) and being entertained by Floyd the Clown. Thanks also to
everyone who came out to break bread (or more appropriately “split hotdog buns!”) with their
fellow parishioners, and for their donations to SSVP. A total of $398.40 was raised for SSVP to
help the hungry in our city.

On the parish’s 25th Anniversary, September 11th, His Grace, Archbishop Albert LeGatt
presided at a special Anniversary mass. Thank you to all the liturgical ministers who served
at mass, and to the 9 am choir who sounded particularly heavenly that evening! After mass,
we visited and shared St. Timothy memories over cake, juice and coffee. With much anticipation
we opened the Millennium Time Capsule that was filled with parishioners prayers and hopes for
the future of our parish. We have displayed the contents of the time capsule in the binders found
on the rolling bulletin board.
Don’t forget to look at the “early days” parishioner photos that have been
matched to their current photo. Not too many people guessed the toddler
photo of Fr. Phil correctly! See if you did!

meeting in the library

During the Anniversary celebrations, we learned that there is another
Time Capsule that is sealed in the wall behind the St. Timothy & St. Paul
effigy. We found, by going through our most accurate and thorough
archives (ie, early church bulletins!), that indeed there exists a time
capsule which is expected to be opened on the 25th anniversary of
the blessing of the church construction site - April 17, 2019. To all
parishioners, mark this date on your electronic devices!

The Tribute for Seniors held on Sunday was a resounding success. Over
200 seniors and volunteers attended the luncheon to commemorate our 25th
Anniversary and many of them have belonged to the Parish since it began. We
also enjoyed the company of several special guests including Paul & Michelle
Campeau, Fr. Phil Daley, Fr. Gerry Ward, Fr. Isaïe Blanchette & Fr. Leo Couture.
This event could not have taken place without the hard work of several Women’s
Auxiliary members, a number of Parishioners, Father Phil and the Parish Staff but
I would like to mention a few people who made special contributions. Paul Farrell spent many hours researching the history of
the church and Margaret Sulymka spend countless hours picking apples, making tart pastry and filling, and preparing the
food. Carolynne Yuen, Nick Guidry, Roxanne Liivamagi, and Jocelyne Liivamagi made the entertainment happen with the
help of many actors, singers and musicians. Several others, including Marilyn Hido, Paulette Spencer, Irene Paradis. Linda
Teriaco, and Vicki Todd were in charge of decorating the hall, preparing displays, ushering guests and serving food. Space
requirements prevent us from mentioning everyone by name but a big thank you to all. Happy Anniversary to all!
Bea Vincent - Chairperson, Women’s Auxiliary
* * * * * * *
And a BIG thank you to Bea Vincent, chairperson of the “Tribute to Seniors” planning committee, for her hard work and
enthusiasm! The proceeds of $900.00 from the event’s ticket sales went to support the good works of SSVP!
We are so blessed to celebrate our parish - our past, present and future. May God
continue to bless us with His richness and strength, and empower us with the gifts of
the Holy Spirit. May we give thanks and praise to God, preach the Gospel of Jesus
Christ, and build up the Body of Christ, today and always!
We’ve posted some photos of all the anniversary events on the bulletin board by the
parish hall. Be sure to take a look! Thank you to all our photographers for capturing
the images and sharing the special memories of our 25th Anniversary Celebrations!

A Little Church Humour
 En route to church to make his first
confession, my nervous seven-year-old
grandson asked me what he could expect.
"Confession is where you tell all the bad
things you’ve done to the priest," I told
him. He looked relieved. "Good. I
haven’t done anything bad to the priest."
 When I asked my friend
if she was planning to attend
church, she just shook her
head. "I haven’t gone in a
long time," she said.
Besides, it’s too late for me.
I’ve probably already broken
all seven commandments."
 Father O'Malley answers the phone.
"Hello, is this Father O'Malley?" "It is."
"This is Revenue Canada Taxation.
Can you help us?" "I can."
"Do you know a Ted Hooligan?" "I do."
"Is he a member of your parish?
"He is."
"Did he donate $10,000 to the church?"
"He will."
