HAPPY BIRTHDAY SPIRITUALLY ADOPTED BABY!
Your spiritually adopted baby has been born this month –
nine months after his mother conceived him. The only change
at birth is the external life support system of the baby. He is
no different now than he was before birth except that he
breathes and eats differently. He is truly a miracle. He began
as a 46 chromosome cell and has developed over the past
nine months into this unique human baby. Never before in
history, nor ever again, will anyone exist who is just like your
spiritually adopted baby. You may never meet the mother and
baby but your prayers saved his life.
BAPTISMS: Please contact Fr. Jim.
MARRIAGES: Please contact Fr. Jim six months before scheduling
(a four-month period of preparation is required).
PASTORAL HOME/HOSPITAL VISITATIONS: If a family member or friend is homebound or in the hospital,
and would like a pastoral visit, please contact the Parish Office.
SACRAMENT OF RECONCILIATION: Saturdays 4:30 to 5:00 p.m. Other time by appointment.
NEW PARISHIONERS: Welcome! Please register at the Parish Office, 1039 14th Ave.

FROM FR. JIM. . . .
Dear Parishioners~
Last Sunday’s Fall Festival was a great event and success.
We had a beautiful day and a wonderful crowd. Through
the years, our Fall Festival has become a very smoothly run
event. But in order for it to happen it takes the talents of
many folks who cook and bake. It takes the time of those
who run the silent auction, organize and run games, wait on
tables and many other tasks behind the scenes. Not only is
our festival an opportunity to come together as a parish
family, but it is a nice day and event for the wider Sidney
community. Once again, “thanks” to all who contributed in
any way to the festival and thanks as well to all who
attended. God Bless!
Peace and all good—Fr. Jim
LETTER FROM BISHOP DENDINGER
Dear Friends in Christ,
In my own spiritual journey, it is clear to me that the Lord
made use of others to help me hear the call to priesthood.
Fortunately, I grew up in a community of faith-filled people.
The example of the religious sisters and parish priests
touched my life. My parents had great respect for them, and
their holiness and character were cherished in our home.
The Called by Name 20 to 40 initiative focuses on priesthood
and consecrated life and stresses the role of the Christian
community in calling forth men and women to consider vocations. Many priests testify that the beginning of discernment
was triggered by a personal inquiry from a friend, family
member, a parish priest, a member of the Serra Clubs, or the
outreach of the Knights of Columbus. There is nothing as
powerful as someone saying, “I think you would make a
good priest!
Nomination cards are available for the submission of names.
People who have been nominated will be contacted and will
learn about the life of ministry of a priest or religious. Please
take the initiative to invite a young man or woman to consider the call.
Thank you for all that you do to “pray and talk” in support of
the church and vocations. Please pray for the success of
this initiative and for all priests and religious.
Most Rev. William J. Dendinger
Bishop of Grand Island

THE DEDICATION OF THE LATERAN BASILICA
Jesus predicted his resurrection in today’s Gospel. But it
wasn’t until after the disciples witnessed the miraculous event
that they realized what he had been talking about. As the
saying goes, “hindsight is twenty-twenty.” How often do we
find ourselves in the midst of a situation that doesn’t make
sense at the time? We question the “meaning” of a sickness,
a lost job, a betrayal, or a disappointment. But often, after
time has passed, we begin to see how good came out of
these tough situations. St. Paul says, “We know that all
things work for good for those who love God” (Rom 8:28).
Sometimes it’s hard to trust in God’s promises, especially
when his plan seems mysterious or confusing. Although the
way may seem indirect, Jesus’ perspective is bigger than
ours. The path may not be one that we would choose. Even
Jesus had to journey through the cross before his resurrection—the temple of his body was destroyed before it was
rebuilt. But looking back, it’s obvious that God’s plans really
do work out for the best.
CATHOLIC SOCIAL TEACHING
Soles4Souls
“when I was naked you clothed me…” Matthew 25:36
Did you know that your old shoes….

can allow a child to go to school and avoid disease?

can help create self-sustaining jobs that generate desperately
needed revenues for families struggling to work their way out
of poverty?

can touch lives in orphanages throughout Central and South
America, including Haiti, Costa Rica, Honduras, and Guatemala, and Tanzania, in Africa as well as in the U.S. in homeless
shelters, domestic abuse shelters, inner city hospitals, and
children in the Appalachia Mountain region?
How can you help?

Look in your closet. Are there shoes you never or rarely wear?

Bring those shoes to Mass the weekends of Nov. 8-9, 15
-16 or 22-23. Look for the Soles4Souls box in the east
and west entries and drop them off. OR, drop them off
during regular business hours at the office.

Those shoes will be taken to Holy Trinity
Lutheran Church. They are sponsoring
the shoe drive.
