Almade This past Tuesday St. Vitus Parish hosted the Vicariate 4 fall conference for priests and deacons. Much of the meeting was Bishop Zubik giving us an update on the movement and timing of “On Mission for the Church Alive!” diocesan initiative. Perhaps your only familiarity with “On Mission” has been the prayer we say together to conclude the Prayers of the Faithful at Mass. Let me go over some of the basics of “On Mission” and explore where we are going. The core of “On Mission” is Bishop Zubik’s call for our local church (the diocese, its 200 parishes, all schools and institutions) to make spiritual and structural changes. The spiritual call is very biblical. Jesus Christ preached the coming reign of God, and sent out his disciples to do the same (see Luke 9:1-6). After his resurrection, Jesus told his followers, “Go, make disciples of all the nations, baptizing…and teaching.” (Matthew 28:16-20) The entirety of the Acts of the Apostles is stories of apostles (particularly focusing on Saints Peter and Paul) spreading the Good News of the Death and Resurrection of Christ. Missionaries travelling to foreign lands are an essential part of the Church’s history, in all centuries. St. Thomas the Apostle went to India, St. Philip preached to the Ethiopian eunuch, priests spread the Catholic faith to all lands around the Mediterranean Sea. In the age of European explorers, friars accompanied Christopher Columbus on his journeys to America, St. Francis Xavier travelled to the Far East, to Japan and China. The Twenty-Eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time governance. But structural changes can only work if they are built on a foundation of trust in God and focus on the call of Jesus for all his followers to be missionaries. This means more attention to hospitality, service, stewardship and fervent prayer. Religious orders of women and men were (and are) missionaries and educators on all continents. Today, the missionary impulse is still strong. But St. Pope John Paul II also called for areas which had been fervent in the faith and had lost many active members to conduct “the new evangelization.” It’s in this spirit of being missionaries at home, in our own families and neighborhoods, that “On Mission for the Church Alive!” challenges all of us to share the Good News of God’s love and Christ’s salvation. In the Diocese of Pittsburgh we also need structural change. It is no secret that for two decades the number of active priests has been declining. At the same time the number of deacons, lay ecclesial ministers and active volunteers is increasing. Fewer people attend Sunday Mass regularly, and there continue to be population shifts in various areas of the diocese. Structural changes may include new patterns of spiritual leadership (such as Deacon John Carran becoming administrator of our neighboring parishes, Christ the King, HillsvilleBessemer, and St. James the Apostle, Pulaski, or team ministries in Greene and Washington Counties), consolidations of parishes under one pastor (such as our own situation of four parishes with one pastor in New Castle), and in a few cases closing church buildings and merging parishes. All parish communities have to work harder at collaboration and sharing ministries. In August TIME magazine interviewed Archbishop Charles Chaput about Pope Francis’s trip to the U.S. He is the leader of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, appointed five years ago to address the financial and spiritual problems left by his predecessors. Archbishop Chaput was blunt in saying, “I moved from a church that was focused on mission (the Archdiocese of Denver) to one that was focused on maintenance and survival.” He is trying to change the Philadelphia archdiocese to focus on mission. This spotlight on mission is also what Bishop Zubik has called for in the six counties of our diocese. Please pray for “On Mission for the Church Alive!” throughout the Diocese of Pittsburgh. Pray our New Castle parishes can receive the gifts of the Holy Spirit to carry out the commands of Christ “go teach all nations” and witness to the love of God right here in Lawrence County. Right now “On Mission for the Church Alive!” is in a stage of prayer and study. Bishop Zubik asks each parish and all the faithful to pray that we hear more urgently the missionary call of Christ. Next spring pastors and parish council members will begin studying statistics, situations and different modes of pastoral If you receive envelopes, there is one in your packet for this important annual diocesan collection. There will be a second passing of the baskets for this collection at all Masses the weekend of October 17th—18th. Please be generous to the important work of Missionaries throughout the world. World Mission Sunday is October 18th. The Catholic Community in New Castle To have a Tabernacle Lamp lighted In Memory of or In Honor of a loved one, please call your parish office.

We are also very grateful for another year of perfect weather for the four days of our festival August 5th—8th. With a few minor unbilled expenses at this time, our profit is $65,461. Our income from all sources was $124,102 and our expenses to date are $58,641. In addition to the festival fundraising income, the Steeler Season Ticket Raffle raised $10,000 for St. Vitus School. Our delicious food brought in the most money and food supplies were our biggest expense. Other expenses included raffle prizes, entertainment, fireworks, the baby doll dance, the sound system, electrical supplies, booth rentals and security personnel. We also purchased more tables and chairs for the grounds and new umbrellas. New lighting in the additional seating area also added to the expenses. Thanks to Our Sponsors!
