TWENTY-SIXTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME - OCTOBER 1, 2017
I recently received this email from Fr. Jeff:
Thank you for having me back to the parish; it was a wonderful day for me. It was a great joy to cele-brate Mass once again in the church, which continues to become more and more beautiful. Likewise, the reception was really well done and you all overwhelmed me with such kind gestures. Thanks for forward-ing this message as well. Continued prayers for you and all.
I echo Fr. Jeff’s gratitude to all who worked to organize and set up for the reception, prepared the food, and cleaned up afterward.
+ + + The annual Life Chain is this afternoon along Route 211 in Middletown, beginning at 2:00pm. In addition, this fall’s 40 Days for Life campaign began on Wednesday near Planned Parenthood’s office on Coates Drive. St. John’s is committed to covering every Friday from 7:00am to 12:00pm; there are sign-up sheets in the back of the church. These are both very peaceful but powerful ways by which to give witness to the sanctity of every human life – a topic on which I will write more shortly.
+ + + Liturgical Training Publications has produced a very handy resource entitled Celebrating Sunday for Catholic Families. It includes the gospel for each Sunday, a short reflection, questions that can be discussed both before and after Mass, as well as ways to put that week’s gospel into action. We have purchased a copy for each family in St. John School and in the religious education program; some received them last week, others will get them this week. I hope everyone finds this book helpful in some way.
+ + + We invite all couples celebrating their 25th, 50th, or 60th wedding anniversaries this year to the 12:00pm Mass on Sunday, October 29, at which time we will give them a special blessing. A reception will follow in the parish house. If you’d like to participate, please call or email the parish office with your name, date and church of mar-riage.
+ + + I will be leaving at noontime on Monday for my annual retreat at St. Joseph’s Abbey in Spencer, MA. At the con-clusion of the retreat on Friday morning, I’ll head directly from there to Buffalo, NY for a wedding next weekend; I expect to be back in the parish for the 5:00pm Mass on Sunday. Please pray for me and the other retreatants, as I will be praying for you and your intentions. Faithfully your priest, Fr. George Hafemann

Two years ago, Catholic Charities Community Services of Orange and Sullivan revived the annual GOSHEN
CHRISTMAS HOUSE TOUR. In that short time, it’s grown in popularity, and has become a very
important fund-raiser: every dollar goes to the relief of those in need right in our community. This year’s tour is on Saturday, December 2. While we’ll have plenty of visitors, we do need a few more homeowners in
and near the village who might be willing to decorate their homes and open them to visitors. The reward is literally out of this world – with the added benefit of getting your decorating done early! If you’d like to learn more, or would consider participating, please contact Sheila Toohey at CCCSOS (294-5124, ext.
308; [email protected]). St. John’s Rosary Makers are starting a new meeting schedule. Please join them on Saturday, October 7th
at 10:00am and/or Wednesday, October 11th at 3:30pm in the Parish Center 2nd Floor . They make
rosaries for the poor missions all around the world and locally. Please call Mary Anne Saviello for more
information at 360-5180.
