PARISH LITURGY
SCHEDULE
MALLIA’SMOMENTS
ByFr.JoeMallia
Weekend Masses
In today’s Gospel reading, we have a
man who is blind shouting out to Christ and
others trying to shout at him to be quiet.
Why? The man was screaming out for help.
He was blind for the love of God and people
were telling him to be quiet! Really!
The man wanted to come to Jesus. He
knew that Jesus would help him and make
him well. He knew what he needed and
others were keeping him from the one who
could make him whole. Why would they do
that to him? Why do we do that to others?
Recently, I had a couple come to me to
have their daughter baptized. They said
they had been to other Catholic parishes
who told them only after they had been registered and giving money for six months
would they baptize the child. I thanked the
family for not giving up on the Catholic
Church and for coming to us. I told them
that I would be happy to baptize the child. I
also spoke to them about the importance of
baptism, raising the child in faith and coming
to mass. They wanted to find Jesus and
others tried to shut them down.

Sunday CLOSED
We do the same thing when we turn
people away for weddings, funerals, religious education, school, or any other event
or ministry here. I know that people get
frustrated with the number of baptisms at
the masses and that some of the people
don’t look like they know what they are doing, but they came to us to help them find
Jesus. If we turn them away, why would
they seek Him again? I wonder how many
other people in the time of Jesus were prevented from seeing Him because people
had told them they could not come or told
them to be quiet. I know that not everyone
at weddings have been to mass on a regular basis and are not always dressed in a
modest way, but to point that out is to lose
sight of the greater opportunity to reach out
to them and teach them and maybe draw
them back to God.
The cry for help coming from the world
comes in many ways and if our first reaction is to tell them to stop, we will have
failed the person and we will have failed in
our primary purpose for being, which is to
bring people to Jesus.
At the end of the Gospel, it tells us that
the man immediately got up and followed
(continued next page)
Page 2
MALLIA’SMOMENTS(continued)
Jesus. Notice it does not say that about any person in the
crowd who was telling him to shut up! So my friends, when
we encounter someone who is calling out to Jesus, we need
to bring them to Jesus, not stop them. No matter the circumstance, no matter the person, no matter what we feel,
we must oblige the desire of Jesus and bring all people to
Him. Jesus wants people to experience the love of His Divine Mercy and love. That can only come when the encounter happens and that encounter needs you to be the vehicle
to bridge the distance. Jesus said to the people, “call Him”
and now He says it to you.
I have heard this call in my life as well and so after Tuesday night mass, when I do not have a scheduled meeting
with the Finance Council or Parish Council, I will be hearing
confessions. I know that it is not always easy to get to confession on Saturday afternoon and some do not want to
make an appointment to see me, so I will add time during
the week to help people out. Please feel free to come to
mass at 7 and then I will stay in the confessional until all of
the confessions are heard. Let people know, especially if
they have hinted that they would like to go to confession
but… Let’s see if we can’t bring them to the Lord through
this one path. God bless you all.
Save the Dates
On November 4th from 11am to 2pm we will be having

Effecve immediately, we will be using a

30th Sunday in Ordinary Time
In this Sunday’s Gospel, Jesus asks
Bartimaeus: “What do you want me to do
for you?” And he answers, “Master, I
want to see.” Let us ask Jesus for the
grace to “see” our brothers and sisters who are
poor and lonely.”
This month, through your gifts, the Society
of St. Vincent de Paul was able to bring God’s
love and mercy to several families within our
community providing food, rent, utility assistance and help with other needs. Thank you and
God Bless You!

Five screenings will be offered that scan for potential
health problems related to: blocked arteries, which is a
leading cause of stroke; abdominal aortic aneurysms,
which can lead to a ruptured aorta; hardening of the arteries in the legs, which is a strong predictor of heart disease;
atrial fibrillation or irregular heart beat, which is closely tied
to stroke risk; and a bone density screening, for men and
women, used to assess the risk of osteoporosis.
Register for a Wellness Package which includes 4 vascular tests and osteoporosis screening from $149 ($139

The children learn how God created the world around them and
hear stories about the life and miracles of Jesus. They learn about
Baptism and the Mass and they learn simple prayers. We have
room for more students, particularly in the 3-year old class.
Classes began September 13 and run through the school year.
We also have a nursery available for toddlers. If you would like to

Halloween
Candy Grams
for College Students/ Military
Youth Ministry is collecting Halloween candy to fill the
boxes of treats we send to our college students/military each
fall. In addition to the candy, we include a prayer card and a
letter of support from Fr. Joe. This annual tradition reminds
these young adults that their parish community keeps them in
thought and prayer while they are away at school/military
training.
There will be boxes in the Narthex for candy donations
until Nov. 1, the day after Halloween. So, if you don’t hand out
all your candy to trick-or-treaters, bring it to church with you
the next day. With candy sales this time of year, another suggestion is to buy an additional bag of candy … keep one to distribute and donate the other to the Candy Gram collection. If
you would like your child(ren) or family member to receive one
of these special packages, please fill out the form and return
it to the parish office no later than Nov. 2.

HOST AN INTERNATIONAL
STUDENT
St. Frances Cabrini High School is planning to recruit through the council on Standards for International Educational Travel,
CSIET, several international students for the
next school year. We have been approached
by agencies interested in assisting us with the international
students studying at Cabrini High School in preparing for a
college career at a U.S. university.
In order to enroll international students, we need to identify Cabrini Catholic Parish or School families who would be
interested in providing home-stay housing.
As a host family, you will share your home and family
life with an international student as well as expose them to
the best of American history and culture. Together, you will
celebrate cultural differences and discover similarities with
regards to values and beliefs. Most importantly, your family
can make a difference in the life of an international student
by fulfilling the dream of an American private educational
experience and in providing a safe, Christian home away
from home.

Prayer of Pope Francis for the Synod on the Family
Jesus, Mary and Joseph, in you we contemplate the splendor of
true love, to you we turn with trust.
Holy Family of Nazareth, grant that our families too may be places
of communion and prayer, authentic schools of the Gospel and
small domestic Churches.
Holy Family of Nazareth, may families never again experience
violence, rejection and division: May all who have been hurt or
scandalized find ready comfort and healing.
Holy family of Nazareth, may the approaching Synod of Bishops
make us once more mindful of the sacredness and inviolability of
the family, and it’s beauty in God’s plan.
Jesus, Mary and Joseph, graciously hear our prayer.

Prayer for Pope Francis
Lord, source of eternal life and truth, give to Your shepherd, Francis,
a spirit of courage and right judgment, a spirit of knowledge and a spirit of
love.
By governing with fidelity those entrusted to his care, may he, as
successor to the Apostle Peter and Vicar of Christ, build Your Church into
a sacrament of unity, love and peace for all the world.
We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and
reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.

You've probably heard the buzz and may have even seen some
changes being made to the Cabrini High School Athletic Complex. So
what's this all about and where is the money coming from?
Hello, we are Friends of Cabrini, a 501(c)(3) organization and a
community volunteer group from Southeast Michigan which plans to
help support the communities in Wayne County.
Mission: Building community to create hope, dreams and opportunities for our children's future
Vision: A brighter future through community involvement
Executive Board
Kevin Rourke, Chair
Tim Roberts, Vice Chair
Tom Sweeney, Jr, Treasurer
Denise Kochis, Secretary
The scope of the organization is to not only support the Cabrini
Schools, which are essential in our community and the initial focus,
but other worthwhile projects in our community to help our children,
too. The 501(c)(3) establishment provides legal financial independence. Therefore, every penny raised through this organization gets
invested where the organization decides. Our first order of business is
the Cabrini Athletic Complex upgrade followed by a new science lab
and second gymnasium in Cabrini High School.
Educational material is being produced daily about the projects
and momentum is building as support starts to grow. CAN YOU FEEL
IT? Join us today and make a difference in your community!!!

Visit often because the site will be updated frequently due to all the
progress!
