Twenty-Eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time - 044 - 3 Respect Life Month at OMC Baby Bottle Campaign: Beginning this Weekend - October 8/9: For twenty-five years, Mothers’ Home has been a beacon of hope for homeless pregnant women. To provide housing for the homeless is itself a noble deed and a corporal work of mercy. We go beyond providing a safe place for our women to prepare for their birth of their babies. We provide training in pre-natal and postnatal care. We offer courses in relationship, nutrition, budgeting, and computers to prepare them for life after they leave Mothers’ Home. We also help them find housing and counsel them to meet their individual needs and goals. Most of our mothers return to our home after they give birth for about a three-month period to enable our mothers to bond with their child and find permanent housing. We have been able to continue our mission for over twenty years because of the generosity of people like you, and, I believe, the Holy Spirit. We have no endowment and must raise funds each year to meet our expenses. One of most significant sources of income is our Baby Bottle Program. I would like to ask you to take a bottle home with you and just put some spare change in the bottle. Please return the bottle with change on the weekend of October 29/30. It may not seem like much to do but I can assure you that it will help us continue to serve these women when they are most vulnerable. Last year, Our Mother of Consolation again donated approximately $4,000. We are most grateful for your support and the support of George Hohenleitner who coordinates the appeal at OMC! Women deserve better than abortion but we, as Christians, need to provide an alternative. We need to work to enable women to be life giving. Mothers’ Home helps women to help themselves and helps them to care for their babies. When you exit Church this weekend (October 8 & 9) and on the following two weekends in October (Respect Life Month), please take a bottle and help us help these women. Thank you! Donald Corcoran, Executive Director - Mothers’ Home, 51 N. MacDade Blvd., Darby, PA Rosary Rally - October 15 - 12 Noon In 1946, Father Petrus Pavlicek made a pilgrimage to a Marian shrine in Austria. There he heard a voice within himself say: “Do as I say and there will be peace.” After World War II, Austria was divided among the Allies with the Soviet Union awarded the richest region, including Vienna. The Austrians were subjected to all the atrocities of communist occupation. Naturally, they were most eager to be free again. Father Pavlicek obeyed Our Lady and founded the Holy Rosary Crusade of Reparation in 1947. The Crusade invited the faithful of Vienna to join in Public Square Rosary Walks through the city streets. They prayed for the end of communism in Austria. The walks began small, more like a trickle. But they grew steadily in size and frequency. They spread throughout the country and in 1955, the Soviet forces inexplicably pulled out of Austria. This year 12,000 Rosary Rallies will take place in America; ours will take place in front of Our Mother of Consolation Church at 12 noon on Saturday, October 15. Please plan to attend and, if possible, bring a family member or friend with you. For more information, please contact George Hohenleitner at 215247-3062 or [email protected]. 40 Days for LIFE - October 26 Join the world-wide movement to protect mothers and babies. With God’s help, 40 Days for Life has achieved proven results: 10,331 babies spared from abortion, 118 abortion worker conversions, and 609 closed abortion centers. Get involved and you can help save lives! September 23 through November 1 - Local churches will sign up parishioners for a Prayer Vigil each day from 7 AM until 7 PM at Planned Parenthood, 12th & Locust Streets, Phila., PA. OMC’s DAY IS OCTOBER 26 (WEDNESDAY). To schedule an hour to pray or for more information, contact George Hohenleitner 215-247-3062 or [email protected]. Twenty-Eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time - 044 - 4 OMC Ministry Fair - October 29/30, 2016 SHARE YOUR GIFTS AND LOVE OF GOD WITH OUR PARISH COMMUNITY! COME TO THE MINISTRY FAIR AND EXPERIENCE OUR PARISH FULLY ALIVE! WHY A “MINISTRY FAIR”? To invite you to participate in the life and work of our OMC Parish Community as outlined in our Mission Statement… “Nourished by the Word and Eucharist, we, the members of Our Mother of Consolation Parish, strive to create a vital, welcoming Catholic faith community that embraces each person. Acknowledging our blessings and supporting one another, we humbly serve the needs of God’s people and work to be the presence of Christ in our world.” WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? We live out our Baptismal call to be Disciples of Jesus on Mission when we love and serve one another as Jesus served. We are called to share our time and our unique talents with God’s people. Come to the fair to see the good works other parishioners are doing. There is at least one ministry for you! HOW DO WE SERVE ONE ANOTHER? We serve one another in so many ways…. A kind word to a young mother struggling with her children in Mass, sharing our faith with the little children going to Sunday Story, feeding the homeless, working to change unjust conditions for the poor and imprisoned, consoling those in a nursing home, organizing a parish or community-wide event…. HOW DO I LEARN MORE ABOUT THESE MINISTRIES BEFORE THE FAIR? Visit our Parish website at www.omcparish.com. Also, look through our Parish Guide Book and Directory. Contact the Parish Office at 215-247-0430 if you would like more information and are unable to attend the Ministry Fair. Get connected, involved, and share your talents!

Twenty-Eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time - 044 - 5 Parish Faith Formation Sr. Christine Konopelski, SSJ - Pastoral Associate for Faith Formation [email protected] THIS WEEK! OMC Night at the Movies! Film Showing: Philomena Friday, October 14 ~ 7 PM in the Parish Center Join us for a screening of the 2014 film, Philomena (98 minutes) directed by Stephen Frears and starring British actors Judi Dench and Steve Coogan. Coogan, plays journalist Martin Sixsmith, author of a book about the real-life Philomena Lee’s search for her son, given up for adoption in the 1950’s. The film retells the story of Philomena’s experiences as a young unwed mother, sent by her family to the Sean Ross Abbey in Roscrea, Ireland, where she joined other young women who worked for their keep and whose children were put up for adoption, many by American couples. This skillfully produced film has authentic moments of grief, humor, and inspiration. Discussion will follow with handouts and refreshments provided. Limited Seating. Pre-Registration required by Monday, October 10. Contact Sister Christine at [email protected] or 215-247-0430. Ministers' Morning of Renewal Saturday, October 22, 9:00 to 11:00 AM (Church) Presenter: Fr. Joseph DiMauro, OSFS 8 AM Mass (Parish Mass - optional) ~ 8:30 AM (Refreshments in Hall) If you volunteer for a Parish Ministry or "desire" to volunteer... this Morning of Renewal is for you! We will welcome Fr. Joseph DiMauro, OSFS, as our presenter and facilitator. Fr. DiMauro is currently the parochial vicar at Christ the King Church, Haddonfield, NJ. Fr. DiMauro has been involved in education on many levels including serving as principal at Father Judge High School in Philadelphia. He has also served as rector of the Oblate College Formation Program at Brisson Seminary and as a team coordinating and training priest for Worldwide Marriage Encounter. Father’s experience, spiritual insights, prayerfulness, and pastoral ministry will help lead us into this morning of grace, insight, and rest in the Lord! Through input, prayer, reflection, and discussion, Fr. DiMauro will help us understand our deeper baptismal call to discipleship in and through the ministries we share within and outside our parish community. “Come apart with Jesus, rest and be renewed” for the ministry to which you have been called. Pre-registration requested. Contact Sister Christine at [email protected] or 215-247-0430. This event is sponsored with the support of the Salesian Disciples. NEXT Spiritual Book Group ~Thursday, October 20 7:30 PM ~ Large Conference Room To be Discussed: Elijah in Jerusalem by Michael O’Brien Elijah in Jerusalem, the long-awaited sequel to the acclaimed, best-selling novel Father Elijah: An Apocalypse, the continuing story of the Catholic priest called to confront a powerful politician who could be the Antichrist foretold in the Bible. The now-Bishop Elijah, wanted for a murder he did not commit, tries again to meet the President. Accompanied by his fellow monk, Brother Enoch, he enters Jerusalem just as the President arrives in the holy city to inaugurate a new stage of his rise to world power. This time Elijah hopes to unmask him as a spiritual danger to mankind. As the story unfolds, people of various backgrounds meet the fugitive priest, and in the encounter their souls are revealed and tested. Elijah perseveres in his mission even when all seems lost. The dramatic climax is surprising, yet it underlines that God works all things to the good for those who love him. Come and bring a friend! All are welcome! Twenty-Eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time - 044 - 6 In these last two months of the Jubilee Year of Mercy, we are invited to review the Corporal and Spiritual Works of Mercy and deepen our commitment to live them with renewed enthusiasm. Today we continue our reflections with the Third and Fourth Corporal Works of Mercy. Practical Suggestions for Practicing the Corporal and Spiritual Works of Mercy ---by Joe Paprocki, D.Min. (adapted) The Corporal Works of Mercy - The Corporal Works of Mercy are kind acts by which we help our neighbors with their everyday material and physical needs. 3) Clothe the Naked • go through drawers and closets and find good-condition clothes and shoes to donate to agencies that provide assistance for those in need; • support our St. Vincent de Paul Society Clothing Drive; • participate in programs that provide towels and linens for hospitals in distressed areas; • volunteer to work at a clothing drive or at a shelter where clothing is distributed to those in need. 4) Visit the Sick • spend quality time with those who are sick or homebound; • take the time to call, send a card or an e-mail to someone who is sick; • volunteer to drive patients to medical appointment and treatment facilities; • volunteer at a hospital; • assist those who are full-time caregivers for family members; • cook and deliver meals to the sick and homebound - support our Aid to Friends Ministry. Sunday Story Growing Pains! The Gift of Children in our OMC Community We are blessed as a parish community here at OMC with many young families and their children. Because of this, we provide our “Sunday Story” Ministry for our youngest parishioners in order to welcome them as baptized Catholics to join us at Mass AND to hear a message from Scripture that they can understand. However, we are experiencing some “growing pains.” The number of young children is exceeding the space we have available. Therefore, beginning with October, we will offer Sunday Story in the following three age groups: Pre-K 3, Pre-K 4, and Kindergarten (behind the GREEN banner), Grade 1 (behind the WHITE banner), and Grade 2 on the side aisle. Since children in Grades 3 & 4 have already received the Eucharist, we ask that they remain in the main Church and “grow into” full participation in the Liturgy of the Word. We recognize the gift children are to our parish community and welcome them in our Church. It is God who put the “giggle” in our children and Jesus who reminds us “Let the children come unto me!” Thank you for your support and understanding! Twenty-Eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time - 044 - 7 WE THIRST: LESSONS IN MERCY A Course on Addiction Awareness within Our Society These evenings of reflection are designed for all members of our community including the afflicted and their families and friends, counselors, nurses, ministers, deacons, those in the criminal justice system, educators, and anyone who would like to learn more to become part of a solution. We will explore the epidemic of addiction in our society and our responsibility as followers of Christ in responding to those who are suffering — the outcasts, the sick, the oppressed. The presentations are designed to educate, inspire, foster hope and healing and reduce the stigma surrounding this affliction. Attendees will learn the basic biology, psychology, sociology, and spirituality of addiction within the context of our faith and our call as Christians to “be merciful, as our heavenly Father is merciful.” Presentations will include prayer, lectures, music, and videos designed to be spiritually moving and inspiring as well as educational. During his papacy, Saint John Paul II spoke of the crisis of addiction and the need for the Church to help, to spread hope, and to work against discrimination. It has been over fifteen years since the resulting document: Church: Drugs & Drug Addiction was published, and we are still not doing enough as a faith community.
