St. Julie Billiart Parish
Thirty-first Sunday in Ordinary Time
From the Desk of Father Gonser
This weekend concludes the month of October with Halloween
for the children and a full month ahead of activities at our parish.
November 1st is the Feast of All Souls. It is not a holy day of
obligation since it falls on a Monday, however, I will be offering Mass at
the chapel at 8:30 in the morning.
Tuesday is Election Day and it coincides with the Feast of Poor
Souls. All priests are privileged to offer three masses on this day to
accommodate the people who would like to attend mass and pray for
their deceased family and friends. The Mass schedule is below my
remarks. Take time Tuesday to exercise your right to vote for the
candidate and issues that will benefit our country and the rights of all
citizens.
There are many activities for adults and children between now
and Thanksgiving. On Thanksgiving Day our parish will once again
provide meals for all parishioners and guests starting at 11:00 a.m. As
usual I encourage people living alone or any family who wishes to share
their blessing to enjoy a great meal. The Thanksgiving Day Mass will be
held at St. Peter’s Church at 9:00 a.m. for both parishes. A city wide
Ecumenical Thanksgiving Service will be held at St. Peter’s Church on
Sunday, November 21.
Jesus said to [Zacchaeus], "Today salvation has come to
this house because this man too is a descendant of Abraham. For
the Son of Man has come to seek and to save what was lost."

The 40 Days for Life Campaign of Prayer and Fasting wraps
up this weekend. During the 40 days of the Fall 2010 campaign,
from September 22nd to October 31st, over 400 babies’ lives
have been saved from abortion around the nation (that we know
of) and women and men are finding healing from experiences with
past abortions. Thank you to everyone who has been a part of
this movement of prayer. There is no doubt that God has moved
powerfully through your commitment to prayer and fasting. Please
continue praying every day for an end to abortion. “If my people,
upon whom my name has been pronounced, humble themselves and
pray, and seek my presence and turn from their evil ways, I will
hear them from heaven and pardon their sins and revive their
land.” II Chronicles 7:14
Christmas Tea Meeting
A meeting for vendors, hostesses, and servers will be held
November 12, 6:00 p.m. at the church, and November 13th at
10:30 at Panera's. Tickets for the tea will be on sale in
November at the back of the church.
Priesthood Sunday
Catholics across the country will be celebrating Priesthood
Sunday on October 31. It is a day set aside to celebrate the
importance of the gift of priesthood in the life of the Church. It
is a time for us to reflect on the ministry that our priests share
with us when we gather at the Table of the Lord-when we call in
our times of need. Consider sharing a personal note or card of
thanks. Together we pray that many of our young people will be
inspired by the ministry and witness of our priests. May their
hearts be open to hearing and responding to God’s call in their
lives. More information on priesthood can be found at
