FROM OUR PASTOR
PARISH STAFF
Parish & School
Dear Parishioners,
697-3100
Pastor
Close your eyes. Take a deep breath.
Now, think of the word “stewardship.” What does it
mean to you? What words could describe your inner feelings
about stewardship? A dreaded obligation? A burdensome contribution of money? An odious duty of the baptized? Or a lovefilled sharing with all of God’s people? A blessedness granted
to the poor in spirit?
We want to feel the later about stewardship, but too
often it is the former. The pace of our lives is so hectic. We
have so many obligations and worries that finding the will to
share time, treasure and talent is often more than we can cope
with. When children are gone and settled in their own adult
lives, we say, then we can be good stewards. When we are
retired and free, then we will be the best stewards the church
has ever had! When I get that promotion, then I will have the
wherewithal to get serious about caring for God’s people and
the world! But right now, our spirits are too anxious. We are
too burdened even to think about stewardship.
Stewardship as a way of life lifts the burden from our
shoulders. It is a way of life that helps the Christian “let go” of
the things of the world while still earning a living..making payments and mortgages…paying school tuition and insurance
policies!
It surely helps us to let go, especially with greater security. But it does so much more. It is a way to counteract the
materialism, consumerism, and individualism that are the antitheses of the culture of love that is to exist in the home, the
Church and the community.
Stewardship builds the civilization of love by hearing
God’s word and putting it into practice. It insists that the Christian must do what is good and not be content with a faith that
produces nothing.
Stewardship recognizes that God is the one who gives
us all these gifts, blesses them, and produces the increase
that we experience when we place ourselves at the service of
one another.
If we are too burdened we may have forgotten that
THIS moment may be the only moment we have? To be baptized means to live each moment as one of Christ’s moments.
So today, this moment, can we not open our minds and hearts
to let the Lord’s pure love overwhelm us? Can we look at
stewardship not as a dreaded obligation, but rather, as a personal invitation to love and care and share with others? Our
faith tells us that his overwhelming love will free our spirits
from fear and apathy, enabling us to soar in his love!
Let us soar in that love together as one faith community committed to Jesus Christ and to one another…
Most Sincerely,
Fr. Jan K. Schmidt

RCIA
Rite of Christian Initiation
of Adults (RCIA) at SMOY:
Interested in becoming Catholic?
Regardless of where you are in your spiritual journey, we'd be honored to help you
explore full communion with the Catholic
Church. The R.C.I.A. (Rite of Christian
Initiation of Adults) is the process by which
non-Catholic adults learn about the Catholic Church and gradually become full members. Every year adults from many backgrounds are welcomed into the Catholic
Community through RCIA. It is a learning
and loving process in which conversion of
the heart brings you to Jesus Christ who is
our Lord and Saviour. To learn more, call
or email Thomas Wray - 513-697-3104
or [email protected].
Do you feel called to be Extraordinary Ministers of
Holy Communion at Mass?

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION
Ministers for November 1/2
Parish Religion Program (PRP):
As you know, public schools are not
permitted to teach Christian moral values.
We are happy to help you in your role as
your child’s “primary teacher” of the
Catholic, Christian faith. Our Parish
Religion Program (PRP) is designed to
deepen your child’s faith in Jesus Christ in
his Church. The program provides faith
formation for children in grades 1-8 who
do not attend the parish school. We also
have a program, 3, 4, 5 Alive, for children
ages 3 – 5. PRP includes session options
during the summer (1st –8th grades) as
well as September -- April on Sunday
mornings.
Registration packets for our 2014-2015
Sunday program are on the home page of
our website at www.smoy.org , in the Parish Office or information centers at exits.
Reminder to families:
We hope your children will learn about
and grow in their Catholic faith every year.
If your child misses a year, it must be
made up before going on to the next
grade level.

much out of it, this talk is for you. Most Reverend
Alexander K. Sample, Archbishop of Portland, provides

whenever we worship.

Divine Healer, God of Wholeness, we place these parishioners in your
hands; we ask for healing, but also for acceptance of their illness and of your holy
plan. Help them and us to embrace whatever you have in mind for them.
Support them in their anxieties, fears, pains, and the frustrations of their illness.
Support them with the strength of the Holy Spirit. We ask this in the name of
Jesus, compassionate healer of those in need of health and hope. Amen.
MARRIAGE MOMENTS & PARENT POINTERS
"You shall love your neighbor as yourself." (Mt 22:39) This oft quoted
phrase can be deceiving. It depends on an honest love of self and
then transferring that attitude to your neighbor - and of course your
closest neighbor is your spouse. Don't put yourself down today.
"You shall not molest or oppress an alien, for you were once aliens
yourselves in the land of Egypt. (Ex 22:20) Your child may be too
young to understand the politics of the current immigration issue, but
you can talk about what it means to be an outsider and different, i.e.
an alien. Tell them the story of the Exodus. Welcome a stranger into
your home for dinner. Local resettlement services (like Catholic Charities http://catholiccharitiesusa.org/find-help/) can offer ideas on how to
reach out and help.

PARISH NEWS
Two SMOY parishioners to be permanent acolytes
On Saturday, November 1st, Archbishop Schnurr will celebrate the Feast of All Souls at
SMOY’s 4:30pm Mass. During this liturgy, the archbishop will institute parishioners Fred Bauer
and Don Lincoln as permanent acolytes — a role in the Church that dates back to the 2nd century, and was instituted to assist deacons with their duties related to the Eucharist.
One of the primary benefits for our parish in adding these acolytes is their ability to “purify” the
vessels used for the distribution of Holy Communion. After Communion, it is important that any
remaining particles of the Body and Blood are properly consumed. During weekend Masses,
sixteen vessels are used for the distribution of the Holy Communion. Purification typically takes
place after Mass by one of our deacons, but when a deacon or permanent acolyte is not present, purification is left to the priest. This can be a time-consuming process, so having Fred and
Don in these new roles will be a great help to Fr. Jan, Fr. James and all our sacristans. We are
grateful for their service to our parish community.

HELP BRING CHRIST TO OTHERS !
Would you like to bring Christ
to others? The ministry that
assists at The Lodge is in
need of more volunteers. At
the Retirement Center building, individuals assist Fr.
Harry at Mass at 1:00pm on
Sundays and occasionally
take Eucharist to a resident’s room. At
the Care Center, individuals take Eucharist to the residents’ rooms on Sunday
mornings. It is so important for the elderly
to receive…their faith is extremely important to them. For information or to volunteer, contact Patti Hawkins at
[email protected] or 505-9755. Thank
you!
SOCIAL ACTION
Most generous God, who has blessed us with so many
gifts, help us to share our gifts magnanimously. We
want to be more like you and love unconditionally.
We strive to be good stewards of all creation, especially
during this season of Thanksgiving.
Creation is not some possession that we can lord over
for our own pleasure; nor, even less, is it the property of
only some people, the few: creation is a gift, it is the
marvelous gift that God has given us, so that we will
take care of it and harness it for the benefit of all, always with great respect and gratitude.
-- Pope Francis, General Audience, May 21, 2014
For all peoples of our world who are suffering during this
season of bounty, may they be blessed by our compassionate hearts. Gracious God, bless us and grant us
raised awareness, enable us to reach out to those in
need, we pray to the Lord.....

All people who intend to work or volunteer
in any of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati parishes, schools, or institutions, must attend a
VIRTUS® Child Awareness Session and
complete a background check before they
are approved to work with children.
Effective June 18, 2012, the Archdiocese of
Cincinnati substantially changed the way it
conducts training for its Decree on Child
Protection. All training sessions on the Decree will now be known as VIRTUS® Child
Awareness Sessions. Each Session will last
approx. 3 hours. No one under the age of
18 will be allowed in the sessions.
The new dates for VIRTUS sessions being
offered at SMOY Wednesday, Nov. 5th, 6:00-9:00pm
Saturday, Nov. 22nd, 9:30am-12:30pm
Wednesday, Dec. 3rd, 6:00-9:00pm
For a complete list of dates for the Sessions
being offered at SMOY or nearby, please go
to www.virtusonline.org to register. For volunteers, the Archdiocese no longer does
background checks via fingerprinting. Instead, you will be asked to complete your
background check as part of your online
registration in VIRTUS. There is a onetime
cost of $25 to have this background check
run that we ask volunteers to cover. However, this replaces the hassle and additional
expense of periodic fingerprinting. If you
have any questions, please contact Matt
Reinkemeyer - [email protected].

Sunday and Holy Day Offerings
Thirtieth Sunday in Ordinary Time
There is one word or command that summarizes today’s Gospel - love. For Jesus there is no distinction between these two
commands of loving God and neighbor. One naturally flows
from the other. In fact, for Jesus, these commands constitute
a way of life for Christian stewards; a unique approach to life
and to their relationship with others. Our neighbors include
everyone with whom we come into contact: family members,
friends, people we don’t like, strangers and particularly those
most in need of our love and compassion. Love is always for
doing well and helping others grow closer to the Lord. What
are ways in which we might do better at following Christ’s love
command?
