COME EXPLORE CATHOLICISM
Do you have a family member or friend who is
interested in learning about the Catholic faith? Do
you know someone who was baptized Catholic as
an infant, but never received any other
sacraments, or attended religious education or
Mass while growing up? Are you a visitor, curious
about what the Catholic Church teaches? Perhaps
thinking about joining the Catholic Church?
Catholic Inquiry sessions: Every Monday at 6pm in
Room 123. All are welcome to join us!
For more info, please call Edie Shanahan, 865-2719276, or [email protected].

KAIROS KOOKIE TIME
On Thursday, October 22, a Kairos team will be entering
the Morgan County Correctional Complex (MCCX) to
spend the weekend ministering to the inmates housed
there. As in the past, we are soliciting cookies for all the
inmates in MCCX, which total around 2800. The goal for
our parish is 100 dozen cookies. The most preferred
cookie is chocolate chip. Other acceptable types are
Oatmeal and Peanut Butter (plain peanut butter; not
chunky). It is very important NOT to use icing, sugar
sprinkles or any type of coating on the outside. Also, DO
NOT add any kind of fruit or nuts to the cookies. They
should be 2-2 1/2 inches in diameter and not more than
1/2 inch thick. The key ingredient is PRAYER. Please pray
as an individual or group over the ingredients. Also pray
over the cookies as you drop them on a cookie sheet.
Ask God to use your cookies as a source of His love to
shine on the inmates and staff on this Kairos weekend.
Pray each cookie brings the inmate, officer or warden
closer to God. After baking, lay the cookies flat in a
freezer. This will make them easier for packaging. Use
one gallon Ziploc bags or the equivalent. DO NOT use
aluminum foil. Put one dozen per bag. Place the cookies
across the bottom of the bag and roll them up like a
container of Pringle chips. Tape the bag if necessary.
The cookies can then remain frozen until the collection
dates. Label each bag with the type of cookie. For those
who choose to support this ministry financially, we will
be selling “meal tickets” for $5 during the collection
days. These tickets will have your first name and city on
them and will be presented to each “guest” at each
meal to let them know they are being prayerfully
supported in their weekend. The collections will be
before all Masses on the weekend of Oct. 17-18. God
bless you and thank you for your prayers and support.
THE SHACK,
SHACK by William Young
Deacon David Lucheon is offering ten-week classes on
William P. Young's "The Shack" on either Tuesday
evenings beginning October 13th from 6:30-7:45 PM
or on Thursday mornings beginning October 15th
from 9:30-10:45 AM at St. Thomas. The Shack is
Deacon David’s favorite novel as it helps explain our
relationship to the Trinity which is the central
mystery of the Church. The book costs $15 and will
be provided to you by Deacon David. Please read the
first 6 chapters prior to first discussion. If you’d like to
join the class, please send an e-mail to Deacon David
at [email protected].
BLESSING OF PETS
Bring your pet for a blessing on the Feast of St.
Francis; Sunday, October 4 at 2:00PM on the side of
the church.
USING A PYX AND BURSE
From time to time, parishioners will desire to take
Communion to those who are ill, infirm, or otherwise
physically unable to attend Mass. The correct method
for taking Holy Communion to someone is with a
"pyx" and a "burse". The pyx is a small container that
holds the Blessed Sacrament and the burse (which
holds the pyx) is a small pouch with a cord attached for
wearing around the neck. It may be worn over or
under clothing. There is a supply of pyx and burses in
the church. If you need to borrow a pyx or burse, or
both, ask the sacristan before or after Mass or pick one
up at the office. Please return them when they are
no longer needed.

with questions.
CONFESIONES
Las confesiones son los martes a las 6:00pm y los
sábados de 3:30-4:30pm (antes de misa) o por cita.
USANDO UN PÍXIDE Y PORTA RELICARIO
De vez en cuando, hay feligreses que desean llevar la
Comunión a los enfermos o a personas que
físicamente se les dificulta asistir a la Misa. El
receptáculo adecuado para llevar la Sagrada
Eucaristía es una píxide (un pequeño recipiente
redondo diseñado para tal fin). Cuando una píxide
contiene la Sagrada Eucaristía se debe utilizar un
porta relicario. Un porta relicario es una pequeña
bolsa con una cuerda atada para llevar alrededor del
cuello. Puede ser usado sobre o debajo de la ropa.
Hay un abastecimiento de píxides y porta relicarios
en la iglesia. Si usted necesita pedir prestado una
píxide o porta relicario, o ambas cosas, pida al
Sacristán antes o después de la Misa, o pida uno en la
oficina. Por favor devuélvalos cuando ya no los
necesite.
BENDICIÓN DE ANIMALES
Traiga su mascota para una bendición el día de la
fiesta de San Francisco de Asís: domingo 4 de octubre
a las 2:00 pm, a un lado de la iglesia.
