MISSION STATEMENT

we Continue Our Journey of Faith.

27th Sunday in Ordinary Time C -2013
My brothers and sisters in the Lord!
As we focus on the Gospel message of this day, it echoes the call to remain
faithful. This particular section of St. Luke’s Gospel deals with the challenging demands of
discipleship. Our Lord calls His disciples to be a people of faith. He goes on to say
A Message from Fr. Joe Ferraro that even a small amount of faith is enough to work miracles, to achieve great things.
The disciples should also not regard themselves as being owed anything, as if God
should thank them for their faith and service, rather they should remember what God has done for them, and that they are the
ones who, in fact, owe God for their redemption, their salvation, their new life.
The next part of the passage tells the story of Jesus curing ten lepers and only one comes back to thank Jesus. Our
Lord invites His disciples to see themselves as that leper, as people who have been healed, reconciled, and gifted by God’s
love. If they remember who God is and what God has done for them, then they too will wish to give thanks to God. In the
image given today in the Scriptures, the disciples will serve the Lord, not hoping for rewards or thanks, but simply in response
to God’s kindness and love for them.
My brothers and sisters, as we begin this month of October we honor our Blessed Mother under the title of Our Lady
of the Rosary. Let us look to Our Lady in special way during this month as we offer our Rosary to her. Let us reflect on her
life as she never gave up in her faith but, rather, always placed her trust in God during the most challenging times in her life.
As we journey through life, let us always pray, through her intercession and guidance of the Holy Spirit, to give us the
strength we need to journey through the most difficult roads that will lead us closer to the Father. We must always remember
that even when life makes us wonder if God is listening at all, those moments when we feel overwhelmed, we need to cling to
our faith because it is rooted in God’s prior faithfulness and graciousness to us. Remembering this is what enables us to live
by faith, even in the face of those difficult times when we feel that God has abandoned us. It is that special perseverance of
our faith that will allow us to move those mountains out of our way in order to over come the obstacles of life.
Today is also a day to say “thank you” to the many special people in our parish for volunteering their Time, Talent
and Treasure of their hearts for the honor and glory of God. We thank all those “behind the scenes” people who never feel
acknowledged. By saying thank you to our volunteers, we are also thanking God for the special gifts bestowed on us through
those God-given Talents shared within our community. I thank you all for your patience with me as I serve you during Msgr.
Paul’s absence at Holy Family as I also continue to serve to the needs of St. Anthony. Mille Grazie, Maraming Salamat,
Thank you!
Peace,
Fr. Joe

What is the Pope up to?
What's going on in the
Church around the world?
If you have questions like this
and have looked in vain on TV
and the newspapers for the
answer, the Pontifical Mission Societies may have the answer
for you. Church news is often ignored by secular media unless
it is a matter of scandal or something unavoidable like a papal
election. If you have a smart phone you can now get the latest
Vatican and Church news from the Vatican News Service and
the Fides News Service through the MISSIO app from the
Pontifical Mission Societies. This free app is available for both
the IPhone and Android platforms through ITunes and Google

catch up on all the latest happenings in Rome and around the

has shared her journey with Justin at the YAI Conference in
2012, at Autism New Jersey in 2012 and at the ASD
Symposium in 2013.
Maria Teresa’s experience in pushing Justin’s boundaries
beyond his comfort zone has provided encouragement to many
parents facing similar challenges. Justin’s story has been the
subject of a landmark article in the New York Times, “Autistic
and Seeking a Place in the Adult World”. Maria Teresa and her
husband are currently producing their second documentary
about Justin, “Don’t Foil My Plans” which focuses on his
emergence into the working world and independence.

companionship. The TALENT that this person offers to the

Has he or she accepted the divine call to extend God’s
blessings on those less fortunate through personal sacrificial

helpful, too, in discerning the name for nomination.
