Next weekend we will celebrate World Mission Sunday. Pope Francis invites the entire Church to support mission dioceses in Africa, Asia, the Pacific Islands, and parts of Latin America and Europe, where priests, religious and lay leaders serve the world’s most vulnerable communities.
Please keep the Pope’s missions in your prayers and be generous in next week’s collection for the Society for the Propagation of the Faith.
As the Universal Church is about to embark on the journey of a world-wide synod, Pope Francis invoked the Holy Spirit on the People of God so that they will be able to move forward together, to listen to one another and discern our times, in solidarity with the struggles and aspirations of all humanity. “A Synod means walking together and listening to one another but above all to the Holy Spirit. To deepen this essential characteristic of the Church, the upcoming synod is unlike any previous one. It starts with, and involves all the faithful at local Churches across the world, promising to listen to all, especially to laypeople. That is why this Synod is a 2-year process, starting from October 10, 2021, to October 2023. In the one People of God, therefore, let us journey together, in order to experience a Church that receives and lives this gift of unity, and is open to the voice of the Spirit. This Synod is an “ecclesial moment”, not a parliament or an investigation into opinions, but “an ecclesial moment” whose protagonist is the Holy Spirit. Without the Spirit, there is no Synod.” Vaticannews.va 10/9/2021
November is a festive month here at St. Malachi with our traditions of All Saints, All Souls, the Feast of St. Malachy of Armagh, our Mass of Remembrance and the Solemnity of Christ the King. We need your help in creating a shrine to celebrate the communion of our own family saints who have gone before us.
Bring a framed or loose photo of your loved one(s) with their name on the front, YOUR name and contact info affixed to the back. Any photo 8X10 or smaller will work. Bring it to church (large baskets provided at the front entrance) beginning the weekend of October 23-24; the shrines will be set up through the month of November and you can retrieve photos on or after November 21.

Wherever two or three or more are gathered in prayer (6 feet or many miles apart), let us pray for all of the members of our St. Malachi parish, their intentions, and all of the people on our prayer list at 7PM (Eastern time) on Thursday.
Prayer serves as a flame in the Christian life, which must never fail…like the sacred fire that was kept burning in the ancient temples. So there must be a holy fire in us too, which burns continuously, and which nothing can extinguish. Prayer does not interrupt the duties of daily life, but gives them meaning and peace. General Audience, 6/21/2021
Jesus offers a hard lesson regarding wealth and possessions in today’s Gospel. The rich man whom he encountered could not part with his possessions as a condition to becoming a disciple of Jesus. Would our response be the same as the rich man? Do we place our trust in our money and possessions instead of trusting in God’s generosity? Do we seek security in our possessions? Good stewards realize that their possessions must not possess them, lest those possessions block their relationship with the Lord.
