26th Sunday in Ordinary Time September 26, 2021
FRENCH MEAT PIE
SUPPER: On Saturday,
October 23 St. Jude will
have a French Meat Pie
Supper. This will be take-
out only with pick-up from
5-6pm from the St. Jude
rectory parking lot. On that day those going to Mass are
encouraged not to use this lot, or you may be blocked in.
The dinner will consist of a quarter of a home-made
French Meat Pie with mashed potatoes, and a veggie
which is still to be determined. The meal will include
dessert and soup. Tickets are $15.00, and are available
after all St. Jude Masses, selected Masses in the other
Churches, on-line, or in the collaborative office.
BIBLE STUDY OF MARK’S
GOSPEL: Starting on Thursday,
October 14 Fr. Fred Babiczuk will
lead a Bible Study of the gospel of
Mark which will involve both
presentation and discussion. The
Study will consist of 8 sessions
ending on December 9 with no class
on Thanksgiving. This is an
adaptation of the class that he is giving this fall for those
studying to be a deacon. The class will be held in the
Conference Room at St. Anthony Parish Center from
11am to 12:15pm. The class will also be live streamed.
ST JUDE CHOIR: The choir at St. Jude will once again
begin rehearsing on Monday evenings, beginning this
Monday, September 27th from 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm. in the
choir loft. We are looking for returning and new members
to join our choir. We are also reaching out to our
parishioners from St. Anthony and St. Mary’s - in addition
to working on music for weekly Masses, we will be also
be preparing and learning music for the upcoming Advent
and Christmas Seasons! No auditions needed or the ability
to read music! The only requirement is that you enjoy
singing! If you have any questions, please feel free to
contact our music director, Brian Cote at 508-259-9261 or
email [email protected]. Look forward to seeing
you at our rehearsal!
FIRST SATURDAY MASS: Despite what was
previously in the bulletin, there will be no First Saturday
Mass. Fr. Fred is not available to do a first Saturday Mass
because of his Saturday Mass schedule with two vigil
Masses, and funerals most Saturdays. Fr. Mc Glynn
thought that he was able to do it, but his schedule will not
allow for it either.
POLISH FOOD SALE: To help fund the meal ministry
we are going to have a monthly Polish food sale. Pick-up
will be at St. Anthony Hall from 3-6pm on the first
Saturday. The first Polish Food sale will be on October
10. Please note change in day. It is best to order in
advance, but we will have food available on a first come,
first serve basis for those who have not pre-ordered. You
can order on-line, or fill out the order form below. Order
forms with payment can be dropped in the basket, or
brought to the Office.

COYLE/CASSIDY FOOD PANTRY
SPONSORED BY TCN: When
Coyle/Cassidy High School closed in
June of 2020 I was asked by Mr. Myron
if the highly successful Coyle/Cassidy
food pantry could continue at St. Anthony to which I
agreed. This Food Pantry served over 250 family a month
in the greater Taunton Area. The pantry did not restart till
May of 2021, and has been operating on the final Saturday
of the month through-out the Summer. The pantry was
founded and directed by one of the teachers at
Coyle/Cassidy, Mr. Michael Cote. Even though Mr. Cote
has retired from Connolly High School (he moved to
Connolly after Coyle/Cassidy), he will continue to
organize the Food Pantry as a volunteer. At least initially,
the Pantry will be called the “Coyle/Cassidy Food Pantry
at St. Anthony Church” because people recognize the
Coyle/Cassidy name. The Coyle/Cassidy Food Pantry
was run by students and their families. We will use a
similar model here. The pantry will be a Service Project
for grades 6-9 of our Faith Formation program. We plan
on making this a Service project not only for students, but
parents as well as was done at Coyle/Cassidy. Our Faith
Formation program is called “Faith Formation” , and not
C.C.D.” because the purpose of the program is to help our
youth to grow in faith, and not just learn about the faith.
Service is an important aspect of our faith, thus should be
a big part of our Faith Formation program.

Grades 7, 8, & 9 – Class begins at 5:30pm at St. Jude’s

Please note - NEW PLAN FOR GRADE 6: Plans for grades 6-8 to be all together at St. Jude on
Sunday night were made at the start of the summer when
we thought that the pandemic was on the wane. It is not;
thus we are going to make change in our junior high
program. Instead of grade 6 being with grades 7-8 we are
going to put grade 6 on Sunday morning from 10-11:10 in
the Hall at St. Anthony. We encourage 6th grade families
to attend the 9am Mass followed by class. The reason for
this change is that we are trying to decrease the numbers
of students who are together at the same time.
FAITH FORMATION REGISTRATION: We are still
accepting Faith Formation registrations for this year. You
can register in the Faith Formation office on Tuesdays and
Thursdays from 9am to noon. You can also register on-
line. The Registration fee for 1 child is $30.00, 2 children
$50.00, 3 or more $60.00. Please plan to register AS
SOON AS POSSIBLE!
GRADE 1 & NEW STUDENT REGISTRATION will
be done by meeting with Fr. Fred. Most of the
appointments will be on Saturday morning. You can
register on-line from the Parish web site using sign-up-
genius. Please print and fill out the registration form in
advance in advance of the meeting. Also please bring a
baptism certificate to this meeting if your child was
baptized outside of our 3 Collaborative parishes.
FAMILY MINISTRY MEETING FOR “TRUNK OR
TREAT” EVENT:
A meeting for all those interested in helping out with the
1st Family Ministry event for this year – a Halloween
“Trunk or Treat” – will be held on Thursday, September
30th beginning at 6:30pm at St. Anthony’s Parish
Center. All are welcome to come and share ideas as we
plan for this event in late October. More information on
the actual date and time coming soon!
CHILDREN’S LITURGY OF THE WORD:
What is it?
A program in which the Sunday scripture readings are
proclaimed and explained on a level appropriate to
children (we’ll begin with Grades 1 & 2 this year) at the
9am Mass at St. Anthony’s beginning in late November.
Our hope is to expand this program to the 10:15am at St.
Jude’s next year.
What exactly do they do?
The children come to the altar after the Opening Prayer,
receive a blessing and are sent forth by the Presider to the
Hall, Once there, they may listen either the 1st or 2nd
reading, sing a short psalm (depending on the day) and
then listen to the Gospel of the day. An age-appropriate
reflection of the readings is shared with them through
stories, discussions or pictures – whatever the leader finds
most appropriate to convey the meaning of the scriptures.
The children are then invited to share their own thoughts,
profess a simple Act of Faith, offer their Prayers of the
Faithful and then return to their families in the church at
the beginning of the Preparation of the Gifts.
We are starting to look for all those who might be
interested in working with this ministry. Watch this space
next week for more information regarding a meeting date
and place at the beginning of October!

Twenty-sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Nm 11:25-29 The LORD came down in the cloud and
spoke to Moses. Taking some of the spirit that was on
Moses, the LORD bestowed it on the seventy elders; and
as the spirit came to rest on them, they prophesied. Now
two men, one named Eldad and the other Medad, were not
in the gathering but had been left in the camp. They too
had been on the list, but had not gone out to the tent; yet
the spirit came to rest on them also, and they prophesied
in the camp. So, when a young man quickly told Moses,
"Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp, " Joshua,
son of Nun, who from his youth had been Moses’ aide,
said, "Moses, my lord, stop them." But Moses answered
him, "Are you jealous for my sake? Would that all the
people of the LORD were prophets! Would that the
LORD might bestow his spirit on them all!"
Psalm: The precepts of the Lord give joy to the heart.
Jas 5:1-6 Come now, you rich, weep and wail over your
impending miseries. Your wealth has rotted away, your
clothes have become moth-eaten, your gold and silver
have corroded, and that corrosion will be a testimony
against you; it will devour your flesh like a fire. You have
stored up treasure for the last days. Behold, the wages you
withheld from the workers who harvested your fields are
crying aloud; and the cries of the harvesters have reached
the ears of the Lord of hosts. You have lived on earth in
luxury and pleasure; you have fattened your hearts for the
day of slaughter. You have condemned; you have
murdered the righteous one; he offers you no resistance.
Mk 9:38-43, 45, 47-48 At that time, John said to Jesus,
"Teacher, we saw someone driving out demons in your
name, and we tried to prevent him because he does not
follow us." Jesus replied, "Do not prevent him. There is
no one who performs a mighty deed in my name who can
at the same time speak ill of me. For whoever is not
against us is for us. Anyone who gives you a cup of water
to drink because you belong to Christ, amen, I say to you,
will surely not lose his reward. "Whoever causes one of
these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be
better for him if a great millstone were put around his neck
and he were thrown into the sea. If your hand causes you
to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life
maimed than with two hands to go into Gehenna, into the
unquenchable fire. And if your foot causes you to sin, cut
if off. It is better for you to enter into life crippled than
with two feet to be thrown into Gehenna. And if your eye
causes you to sin, pluck it out. Better for you to enter into
the kingdom of God with one eye than with two eyes to
be thrown into Gehenna, where 'their worm does not die,
and the fire is not quenched.'"
