29th Sunday in Ordinary Time – A Reflection
What do we owe God and our neighbour?
Scripture tells us to give to everyone whatever is
their due and to “owe no one anything, except to
love one another.” In today’s Gospel, the
Pharisees try to get Jesus to incriminate himself
by choosing between loyalty to God or Caesar. He
tells His questioners that if they use Caesar’s
money, then they have to pay for it. But they must
also pay what belongs to God, who takes care of
our needs. Jesus’ answer addresses a much more
important issue: our relationship with God. As
children of God, we belong to Him.
WORLD MISSION SUNDAY
This weekend, October 18 & 19, we will take up
the annual collection for World Mission Sunday.
Please be as generous as you can in supporting
the mission of the Church to evangelize all people.
There are special envelopes at the entrance of the
church for this weekend’s special second
collection. Thank you!!!
Bottle Drive

drive in support of the Ontario Special Olympics.
Please save your beer, wine and liquor bottles
and drop them off at the church on the weekends

knights can pick them up at your home.) This is a
great cause so let’s help our knights in this effort.

BENVENUTI A ST. DAVID’S
Ventinovesima Domenica –A<<Gesù Cristo è il Signore>>: questo grido della fede primitiva protesterà fino all’ultimo
giorno contro la pretesa dei cesari di disporre di un potere assoluto e divino. Dobbiamo
imparare a riconoscere anche oggi gli <<ipocriti>>, che si nascondono dietro alle loro
ideologie per asservire totalmente l’uomo, fin nella sua realtà più intima di cui deve
rendere conto esclusivamente a Dio.
Giornata Missionaria Mondiale
Questa domenica, 18 & 19 ottobre, la Chiesa Universale celebra la Giornata Missionaria
Mondiale. Per dare appoggio ai nostri missionari cattolici sparsi nel mondo, ci sarà una
seconda colletta speciale a tutte le Messe. Troverete buste di offerte all’entrata della
chiesa. Grazie.
Raccolta di Bottiglie
Conservate le vostre bottiglie di liquore, vino e birra e portatele alla chiesa questa
domenica, 19 ottobre, e domenica prossima, 25 ottobre per la raccolta di bottiglie
organizzata dai nostri Cavalieri di Colombo per dare appoggio ai Special Olympics per i
giovani andicapati. Grazie!!!
Oktoberfest
I Cavalieri di Colombo della nostra parrocchia vi invitano a l’annuale festa nella sala della
chiesa, sabato, 25 ottobre alle 6:30 pm, con musica, cena, divertimento e premi. I biglietti
saranno in vendita dopo le Messe domenicali per $40.00. Non mancate!
Venite a Cantare!!!
Il coro italiano che canta ogni domenica alla Messa delle 10:30 am invita nuovi membri a
partecipare nella corale. Non bisogna cantare come Enrico Caruso o Maria Callas!!!
Venite a cantare le lodi del Signore con il nostro bel coro italiano.
