SUNDAY READINGS
First Reading: Amos 8: 4 – 7
The prophet Amos expressed disgust over people who take
advantage of the poor. He describes businessmen scheming to
cheat the poor, then declares that God will "never forget the
things they have done."
Second Reading: 1 Timothy 2: 1 – 8
Paul urges the Christians to pray for all people, especially
those in authority. Paul even asked them to pray for the kings
who denounced Christ's teachings, because God wants all
people to be saved through Jesus.
Gospel: Luke 16: 1 – 13
Jesus tells a story about a servant who tries to cheat his
employer. The owner is impressed because he would do the
same thing himself. Jesus then describes the importance of
being trustworthy in small matters, as well as in greater ones.
He then states that no one can serve two masters faithfully, so
people cannot give themselves completely to both God and
money.

IMMIGRATION REFORM
The Catholic Church has always been a champion for and
source of support to immigrants. We have been and are a
Church of immigrants.
Immigration reform must be
comprehensive: respecting family unity, providing a path to full
participation in our society, securing our borders in a humane
way, and providing a fair legal immigration system. These
values flow from the social teaching of the Church. It is the
right and responsibility of Catholics to participate in the political
process. As our nation debates immigration reform, now is a
critical time to communicate with our elected officials –
especially those of the U.S. House of Representatives – about
our values and concerns.

BECOMING A CATHOLIC? OR
ARE YOU AN ADULT WHO WOULD LIKE TO
RECEIVE COMMUNION AND/OR
CONFIRMATION?
Please speak with Fr. Quarato if you are interested.

Most holy Mother of Sorrows, by that soul-piercing martyrdom
thou didst undergo at the foot of the Cross during the three
hours' agony of Jesus, deign to assist me also, who am the
child of thy Sorrows, in my agony, so that by thine intercession
I may be found worthy to pass from my deathbed to thy
blessed society in Paradise.
V. From a sudden and unprovided death,
R. Deliver me, O Lord.
V. From the snares of the devil,
R. Deliver me, O Lord.
V. From everlasting death,
R. Deliver me, O Lord.
O God, Who for the salvation of mankind hast made for us in
the most bitter death of Thy Son both an example and a
refuge; grant, we beseech Thee, that we may be found worthy
to obtain the fruit of His great love in our final peril at the hour
of death, and to be made partakers of our Redeemer's glory.
Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.

A NOTE TO OUR NON-CATHOLIC FRIENDS
Although we warmly welcome you to our parish Liturgies, we
cannot extend to you an invitation to receive Holy
Communion. The reception of Holy Communion is a sign of
Unity in Faith, and such unity does not exist between
Catholics and those who belong to other Christian groups.
That unity is something for which we are to pray. If you
would like to explore becoming a Catholic, please speak to
one of the Priests. You may find the U.S. Catholic Bishops’
GUIDELINES FOR THE RECEPTION OF COMMUNION
helpful. This document is found printed on the inside cover
of Today’s Missal in the pews.

A NOTE ABOUT BECOMING SPONSORS
FOR BAPTISM AND CONFIRMATION
+++
It is a great honor to be asked to be a sponsor for Baptism or
Confirmation. The role of a “godparent” is to be an “other
parent” in matters of our holy Faith. That is why sponsors must
be practicing Catholics, 16 yrs of age or older, having received
Confirmation and currently living a good Christian moral life. If
the sponsor is married, that person must be in a valid Church
marriage. One sponsor is required for Confirmation. It is
customary to have two for Baptism, in which case one must be
male and the other female.
A nominated sponsor is asked to get certification from his/her
current parish. This is a declaration by a priest/deacon that the
individual is qualified to be a sponsor according to Church Law.
To be so certified, the individual must be a current parishioner
of the particular parish where the certification is being sought,
and be known to the priest/deacon as being a faithful practicing
Catholic, attending Mass there regularly.
Unfortunately, at times, family members or friends are chosen
to be sponsors with good intentions, but are found to be
ineligible according to Church Law. Also, more and more,
people seem to think that they are still “parishioners” of their
childhood parish, where they attended school or received
sacraments years ago, while no longer living in the area or
attending Mass there regularly. It is important for individuals to
be active members of their local Catholic faith communities.
The unfortunate fact is that some are neither practicing
Catholics nor faithful members of a parish family and are
thereby ineligible to become sponsors. Like all other things in
life, individual choices bring consequences.
