All Saints Day
Saturday, November 1, 2014
Not a Holy Day of Obligation this year!
For Roman Catholics, November 1st is known as All Saints Day
or the Feast of All Saints. It is a Solemnity and the day that the Church
honors all saints, known and unknown. The key to understanding the
Catholic practice of honoring saints is our belief in the Communion of
Saints. This is the belief that all of God's people, those on earth, those in
heaven, and those in Purgatory are bound together and connected in a
communion.
We believe that the Church militant, the Church Triumphant and the
Church suffering can help one another. People on earth can pray to the
saints to ask for their intercession with God. Saints are not omnipresent nor
are they omniscient. But, because of our common communion together
with Jesus Christ, our prayers are joined together with the community of
Christians.
All Saints Day is preceded on October 31st by All Hallows' Eve or
Hallowe'en. In Britain, saints are referred to as "hallowed."
The eve or e'en before All Hallows' Day was known as All Hallows' Eve or
Hallowe'en for short.

Celebrating and remembering saints and martyrs, the heroes of
Christianity, is much like celebrating special holidays when Americans
celebrate very special citizens in our country's history. In honoring the
Saints of our faith, we have the opportunity to remember the paths they
walked during their life and hopefully lead us to living lives that emulate
them and ultimately bring us closer to our Lord, Jesus Christ.
Often, non-Catholics believe that our celebration and remembrance of
saints is idolatrous. It is important to understand that Catholics do not
worship saints, Catholics venerate saints. Catholics do not look to saints as
they look to God. Because of Catholic belief in the Communion of Saints,
praying to saints is like asking a person to pray for you.
The Christian history of honoring saints and martyrs goes back to the second century and the calendar for celebration of saints changed and varied.
Eventually, Pope Boniface IV originated the Feast of All Martyrs on
May 13, 615, when he consecrated the Pantheon in Rome into a Christian
church. The Pantheon was dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary and all
the martyrs.

Parish Notes And Community Events
Do the puzzle pieces fit?
For the past month or so you've been SO thirsty..it
doesn't seem like you can get enough water! On the
evenings when you aren't too tired to make it to your
Bunco group, several of your friends have mentioned
that you look like you've lost some weight. Those pants
that did fit a little snug, are now beginning to hang in
places. Just last week you were opening the mail and
the envelope cut your finger. The cut now is still
unhealed, and very red and tender. As you tick off
these symptoms, you begin to wonder if the pictures
behind this jigsaw are beginning to emerge.
Much like a car, our bodies need fuel to keep them
running. Glucose, a simple form of sugar is the fuel
that keeps us humming along. But in order for the
cells of the body to burn this "gas" we must have a
hormone called insulin. This hormone is produced by
the pancreas and is important because it acts as the
taxi cab that takes the glucose from the bloodstream to
the cells.
Type II Diabetes can occur because the body doesn't
produce enough insulin, or because the cells ignore
the insulin. Since the glucose would then stay in the
blood stream, the cells are starved for the fuel they
need. This is most often the cause for Type II.
The diagnosis of Type II Diabetes increases with age.
The symptoms of Type II diabetes can be:
frequent urination, increased thirst or hunger
extreme fatigue, weight loss for no apparent reason
cuts or bruises that are slow to heal, blurred vision
But sometimes there are no symptoms present in Type
II. The incidences of Type II also increase with being
overweight, inactivity, and with a family history of
diabetes.
Most often Type II diabetes is diagnosed with a blood
test looking at the amount of sugar present in your
blood. This may be done with either a fasting blood test
or a test called an A1C. The A1C is often thought to
give a clearer picture because it shows an average of
the blood glucose level over a three month period.
The results are reported as the percentage of your
hemoglobin that are coated with sugar.
Diagnosis of diabetes as recognized by the Diabetic
Association as a fasting blood sugar of 126mg/dl or
higher or an A1C of 6.5% or higher. The higher the
percentage, the poorer your sugar control.
The key to solving the puzzle of diabetes is early
detection, then a balance of medical management,
exercise and food.
November is National Diabetes awareness month, do
the symptoms of YOUR puzzle fit?
Salvation Army Bell Ringing
Salvation Army Bell Ringing will begin on November
24th this year. Our Parish will provide bell ringers on
