for the priests and religious that have walked with us on our
journey of faith through Baptisms, First Holy Communions,
Confirmations, weddings, the anointing of our sick. For articles
and a prayer for those of consecrated life go to
www.usccb.org/beliefs-and-teachings.

6 P.M. until 9 P.M. in Foley Hall
The theme this year will be
MY BIG FAT SAINT RICHARD WEDDING
The dress for the evening is wedding casual.
You have a little over 45 days to hit the gym, count those carbs, and work on squeezing into your wedding attire. The attire includes, but is
not limited to, bridal, bridesmaid, mother of the bride. (All you grooms and groomsmen should don the ever appropriate tuxedo.) The
food for the evening will feature massive amounts of wedding cake. All proceeds from this annual event is given to
organizations that feed the hungry in our city, state, or world. A nursery will be available.
DON’T MISS OUT! It’s still not too late to sign up for Small Faith Communities!
The next season begins the week of October 11. We will be using a DVD series called “The Biblical Walk Through the Mass” by
Edward Sri. According to Sri, “From the moment of our creation and throughout biblical history, God has desired to enter into
an intimate communion with humanity. In fact, God, who loves us beyond comprehension, has chosen to give us His very Body,
Blood, Soul, and Divinity in the Eucharist. It can truly be said that the Catholic Mass is the most amazing event on earth.” This
series is sure to renew your faith and deepen your love and devotion to the Eucharist.
REGISTER NOW for this new series– pick up a registration card in the vestibule of the church or go to our website
www.saintrichard.com. Registration cards should be returned to the box in the vestibule of the church or brought the church office. If you
have questions please contact Debbie Tubertini at 601.366.2335 ext. 107 or email tubertini@saintrichard.com.
October is the Month of the Holy Rosary
This is primarily due to the fact that the liturgical feast of Our Lady of the Rosary is celebrated annually on October 7. It was instituted to honor the Blessed Virgin Mary in gratitude for the protection that she gives the Church in answer to the praying of the Rosary by
the faithful. The rosary is prayed daily at 7:30 A.M. in the church, on Mondays at 8:45 A.M. at the Jackson Women’s Health Clinic, on
Wednesdays at 6 P.M. in the St. Richard Conference Room, and on the first Friday of every month at 2:30 P.M. in the church. All are welcomed to any of these rosary times.
Young at Heart
The Young at Heart group would like to invite everyone to join them for what is sure to be a very interesting gathering on Thursday, October 15 at 11:30 A.M. in Foley Hall. We have John Malanchak, a Certified Sommelier who will trace the History of Wine from
6000 B.C. for us. We will also learn what role the Catholic Church played in the spread of wine throughout Europe and the New World. We
might even have to sample some of the subject matter. Lunch is $5 per person. Y@H sponsors these monthly meetings, however, anyone is
invited. Please join us even if you are not able to stay the entire time.
The Cursillo Movement
In the Cursillo Movement, we approach evangelization as a very natural act of being Christ-like within each of our daily activities. The Cursillo Movement provides a method and a technique to provide each of us with the tools, the mentality, the strength, and the
support to make this natural type of evangelization possible. The Cursillo Movement endeavors to restore the beauty of the first Christian
communities which prompted pagans to say with admiration, “See how they love one another!” Contact Sue Anne Booth,
sueanne.booth@jacksondiocese.org or 601.960.8474 for more information. Applications can be downloaded from the Diocesan website
(www.jacksondiocese.org).

“No One Understands What I Am Going Through” - Parishioner, Dot-T Dehmer
The monthly St. Richard Bereavement Support Group will meet Thursday, October 15, at 6:30 p.m. in the Mercy Room.
Please note that the date is changed to the third Thursday of October. Parishioner and author, Dot-T Dehmer, will be helping us to understand the human side of losing our loved one and helping us to connect with the spiritual grace that is available through God’s Word.
Losses in Dot-T’s life make her words genuine. If you are hurting from losing a loved one or you are trying to comfort and understand the
grief of a family member or friend, it will be helpful to attend. If you know someone who is bereaved, please invite them. It is open to all.
If you have questions or just need to talk to someone, call Suzie Cranston (601-982-5464), Linda Lalor (601-853-8840), or Nancy McGhee
(601-942-2078) or email ncmcghee@bellsouth.net
40 Days for Life– Raymond Barry
A group of us from St. Richard have made a commitment to pray the rosary at the only abortion clinic in Mississippi. Monday,
during our prayer, a sidewalk counselor interrupted us to ask if any one of us spoke Spanish. A young woman had scheduled an abortion
for that morning. The friends that came with her hoped that she would reconsider. They felt that she was more likely to reconsider if
someone spoke to her in her native language.
No one in our group spoke Spanish, but I texted a friend who does and she was willing to help. The young mother’s friend came
out to talk to us. We were told it was too late. The woman was already with the doctor and she would not be able to come outside to speak
with us. Her friend stayed as we finished the rosary.
She told us that she asked her friend, what she would tell her aborted child when they were reunited– when her baby asked her
WHY? Hopefully, this friend will be a comfort to the young woman as she recovers from the abortion.
A group from St. Richard prays the rosary at the clinic every Monday at 8:45 A.M.
