Happy Fes val Weekend to one and all. To all those
who might be visi ng us today, especially because of
our annual fes val, know that you are most welcome
here at our St. Paschal Baylon Community.
The Book of Genesis opens: “In the beginning, when
God created the heavens and the earth, the earth was
a formless wasteland and darkness covered the abyss.”
Those words describe the formless blackness of the
world of Bar maeus, the blind man who believed that
Jesus could give him sight.
Vision is impossible in darkness, but when there is
light, a miracle begins. Photons find their way through
the eyes and project themselves onto the re na. The
image is projected on the back wall of the eye, making
nerve receptors pulse. Those pulses travel through the
op c nerve, through a passageway to the brain. And
there, the brain reassembles the pulses and creates
the image inside our head. The image is all in our mind,
like dreams.
But it all begins with light. Blind Bar maeus went to
that Light to beg. “Master, I want to see.” Immediately
he received his sight.
Knowing that this was a once-in-a-life me opportunity, Bar maeus chose his words carefully. He had
been told that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by, but he
called out to the “Son of David” acclaimed for the first
me in Mark’s Gospel. The rarely used “Son of David”
acclaimed Jesus as part of the kingly line and had clear,
if only in mated, messianic implica ons. Bar maeus
sought not simply vision but understanding. Jesus replied that his faith had brought him all that he needed
and told him to go on his way a er his healing.
This week’s Gospel invites us to place ourselves
along the way with Bar maeus to contemplate and
admit our own blind spots. If we can scrounge up the
interior freedom and courage to do so honestly, we
may repeat with Bar maeus, “Master, I want to see.”
This may then lead us beyond any horizon we had previously envisioned.
Last weekend at our 9:00am Sunday morning Mass
we received 15 catechumens and candidates into this
year’s formal R.C.I.A. journey. The RCIA is the process
by which individuals prepare and are received into the
membership of the Catholic Church through the Sacraments of Ini a on. One beau ful highlight of this
year’s catechumens is that we have a father and his
three children preparing to be received into our church
and thus joining the wife/mother who is already a
Catholic. God bless all of our Catechumens and Candidates. Please pray for them.
On November 2nd we will celebrate the Feast of All
Souls. The en re month of November is dedicated to
remembering. It is a tradi on of our church to offer a
Novena of Masses for our departed loved ones. In a
special way we will remember them throughout the
month. I would invite you to consider enrolling your
loved ones in these special Masses. Please use one of
the special enrollment envelopes found in your pews.
Not only are you remembering them but you are allowing our en re community the opportunity to pray
for them. The completed enrollment envelopes will be
placed on the altar throughout the month of November.
May you all have a wonderful me at our Fall Fes val this weekend. Have fun!
Father Michael Rocha
Rincón del Pastor
Feliz Fin de Semana de Fes val para todos. Todos
ustedes que nos visitan este fin de semana, sobre todo
debido a nuestra fiesta anual, sepan que son bienvenidos aquí en nuestra St. Pascual Baylon Comunidad.
El libro del Génesis comienza así: "En el principio,
cuando Dios creó los cielos y la erra, la erra era un
desierto sin forma y las nieblas cubrían el abismo."
Esas palabras describen el mundo de la oscuridad sin
forma de Bar meo, el ciego que cree que Jesús podía
darle la vista.
La visión es imposible en la oscuridad, pero cuando
hay luz, comienza un milagro. Los fotones encuentran
su camino a través de los ojos y se proyectan en la
re na. La imagen se proyecta en la pared posterior del
ojo, haciendo que los receptores nerviosos comiencen
a emi r pulsos. Esos pulsos viajan a través del nervio
óp co hacia el cerebro. Y allí, el cerebro vuelve a ensamblar los pulsos y crea la imagen dentro de nuestra
cabeza. La imagen está completamente en nuestra
mente, como los sueños.
Pero todo comienza con la luz. El ciego Bar meo
fue al encuentro de esa Luz para suplicarle: "Maestro,
quiero ver." Inmediatamente recobró la vista.
Sabiendo que esto era una oportunidad única en la
vida, Bar meo eligió cuidadosamente sus palabras. Le
habían dicho que Jesús de Nazaret pasaba, pero él le
gritó "Hijo de David", esta es la primera vez que se le
aclama así en el Evangelio de Marcos. El tulo "Hijo de
David" se usa pocas veces y aclama a Jesús como parte
del linaje real y tenía implicaciones mesiánicas claras,
aunque solamente insinuadas. Bar meo buscaba no
sólo la visión, sino la comprensión. Jesús le respondió
que su fe le había conseguido todo lo que necesitaba y
le dijo que tenía que seguir su camino después de su
curación.
El evangelio de esta semana nos invita a ponernos
en camino con Bar meo para contemplar y admi r
nuestros propios puntos ciegos. Si tenemos la libertad
interior y el valor para hacerlo honestamente, podremos repe r con Bar meo: "Maestro, quiero ver." Esto
puede entonces llevarnos más allá de cualquier horizonte que habíamos imaginado previamente.
El fin de semana pasado, en la misa de 9:00 recibimos a 15 catecúmenos y candidatos al camino formal
del programa de RICA para este año. El RICA es el proceso por el cual las personas se preparan y son recibidos como miembros de la Iglesia Católica a través de
los Sacramentos de Iniciación. Un punto que sobresale
hermosamente este año es que tenemos un padre y
sus tres hijos catecúmenos preparándose para ser recibidos en nuestra iglesia y sumarse así a la esposa /
madre que ya es Católica. Dios bendiga a todos nuestros Catecúmenos y Candidatos. Por favor, oren por
ellos.
El 2 de noviembre vamos a celebrar la Fiesta de los
Fieles Difuntos. Todo el mes de noviembre está dedicado para recordar. Es una tradición de nuestra iglesia
ofrecer una novena de misas para nuestros seres queridos difuntos. De manera especial los recordaremos
durante todo el mes. Quiero invitarlos a considerar
inscribir a sus seres queridos en estas misas especiales. Por favor, use uno de los sobres especiales de inscripción que se encuentran en sus bancas. No sólo los
está recordando usted, sino además está permi endo
que toda la comunidad tenga la oportunidad de orar
por ellos. Los sobres de inscripción ya completos serán
colocados sobre el altar durante todo el mes de noviembre.
Que todos disfruten un rato maravilloso en nuestro
Fes val de Otoño este fin de semana. ¡Que se diviertan!

Leave a Legacy
When you leave a planned gi to St. Paschal’s, you are ensuring a strong future for our parish, school,
ministries, or any other part of our St. Paschal Catholic Community that is close to your heart. We encourage you to contact your legal and/or financial advisor for more informa on about making a planned gi .
Here are two easy ways you can contribute to the long term sustainability of St. Paschal’s.
1.Bequest: One of the easiest ways to help involves simply naming St. Passchal’s as a beneficiary
in your will and living trust. A bequest may be for a stated sum of money or a percentage of your estate.
2. Life Insurance Policy and Re rement Assets: Naming St. Paschal’s as a par al beneficiary of
these assets can provide support for our community for years to come.
Your considera on would truly be appreciated.
The Francis Effect
Joe Boehner cried. A lot. 100,000 people stood in hushed silence.
Schools closed, selfie s cks emerged, and Mark Wahlberg shared the
stage with Jim Gaffigan. Welcome to the Francis effect.
It’s been a few weeks since Pope Francis captured the American news
cycle from September 22-27 with his visit to the U.S. Even high school
students, who o en get their news from Snapchat stories, knew something was up.
The Holy Father spent me in Washington D.C., New York City, and Philadelphia. He visited the U.N., a prison, and was
15 minutes late to an appointment at the White House because he was snapping photos with school kids. He turned
down a hoity-toity Congressional luncheon to eat with the homeless. All the while, his very presence cap vated much
of the country.
Somehow Pope Francis makes us believe that things can get be er – they will get be er – because we have been given awesome gi s and responsibili es by our heavenly Father and Jesus Christ is on our side.
All of this begs the ques on: what’s our Francis effect? We love his joy and his nearness and those off-the-cuff moments where he feels so real. The ques on we need to be asking ourselves is: am I following where the shepherd
leads? Am I le ng myself be changed? Here are some themes I’ve been mulling over as a Catholic young adult.
Conversion
Conversion is an ongoing process, we know this. We all need to be reminded, like the inmates at Curran-Fromhold
Correc onal Facility, that “Jesus seeks us out. He wants to heal our wounds, to soothe our feet which hurt from traveling alone, to wash each of us clean off the dust from our journey… Jesus comes to meet us.” -Pope Francis
Compassion
With St. John Paul II we saw the dawn of the “new evangeliza on.” In his Madison Square Garden homily, Pope Francis
spoke about the “deafening anonymity” of those on the margins of society, places where the light hasn’t quite
touched yet – “they are the foreigners, the children who go without schooling, those deprived of medical insurance,
the homeless, the forgo en elderly.” We are members of a Church that goes out! The light and joy of Christ needs to
shine on those who have fallen through the cracks. In his address to Congress, Pope Francis encouraged all Americans:
“We must resolve now to live as nobly and justly as possible, as we educate new genera ons not to turn their back on
our neighbors…we need to avoid a common tempta on nowadays: to discard whatever proves troublesome.”
-Pope Francis
Do I recognize the personhood of the anonymous? Or do I brush by, too consumed by my own concerns to be
“inconvenienced” by the needs of others?
Courage
I don’t know about you, but Pope Francis is pricking my conscience. I’ve go en pre y good at trying to meet Jesus in
adora on, but not so much in people who annoy me. I can speak confidently and passionately to a room full of teenagers, but I feel awkward bu erflies when trying to talk to a low-income single mom at the local food pantry. Pope
Francis reminded us that “Jesus wanted to show solidarity with every person. He wanted everyone to experience his
companionship, his help, his love. He iden fied with all those who suffer, who weep, who suffer any kind of injus ce.”
May we all be convicted and changed by the words and example of our Holy Father! Come Holy Spirit…bring on the
Francis effect!
Peace

Dear SPB Parishioners,
As many of you may be aware, October is designated
by the Catholic Church as the “Month of the Most Holy
Rosary”. Therefore, as is our custom at Saint Paschal
Baylon School, members of our Student Council lead
our en re student body, faculty and staff in a decade of
the Rosary every Monday through Thursday morning
throughout the month of October. In addi on, our
classroom teachers are helping teach and review with
our students how to pray the Rosary.
The Rosary is a beau ful and uniquely Catholic prayer.
At Saint Paschal Baylon School we are now “Celebra ng
a Year of Prayer” during the 2015-2016 academic year.
Therefore, we are also encouraging our school families
to include the Rosary in their prayers at home-especially
during the month of October.
Please know that your faith serves as a wonderful
model for our students. As we celebrate a year of prayer at our parish school, I will con nue to remember you
in my personal prayers, and I respec ully ask that you
do the same for me.
Together In Faith,
Suzanne Stewart Duffy-Principal

grupo, asegúrese de saber exactamente quién hace
