Council of Catholic Women
Join us the third Tuesday of each month, September thru May for Mass at 6:00 P.M., followed by a 6:30 P.M. meeting and light refreshments.
Are you registered in the parish? Please do not take for granted that you are registered in the parish just because you attend mass here. If we have no record of your parish membership it could be quite embarrassing to us, or to you or your family, when someone wishes to make wedding plans, have a baby baptized, or if you have been asked to act as a sponsor for baptism or confirmation. Please fill out a census form, which is located at the entrances of the Multi Celebrational Building (MCB), and mail it to the parish office, or place it in the collection basket.
Baptism
Baptisms are celebrated on Sunday after the 12:00 Noon Mass. Parents must be registered and active members of the parish for at least three months. No confirmed dates are given before approval by the pastor. Contact the parish office two months in advance. Godparents must be confirmed, practicing, Roman Catholics and must obtain a sponsor certificate from their parish. In order to avoid disappointments, do not book travel plans with family, Godparents, etc. until a confirmed date has been assigned through the parish office (561) 966-8878.
Marriages
Notify the parish office at least four months in advance.
Ministrations to the Sick
We appreciate knowing when a parishioner is in the hospital or homebound. Please call the parish office.
PERSISTENCE
Today’s readings are about persistence, passionate persistence. Exodus tells of a battle won despite weariness because Moses, with help from Aaron and Hur, held his hands raised. Timothy asks that same persistence of his community and us. Luke tells of a court case won by a widow, despite the dishonesty of the judge, because she will not leave him alone. The psalm reminds us that God is everywhere, guard-ing us from harm day and night, coming and going, now and forever. The readings are about persistence, the relentless, unwavering pursuit of what must not be lost. The readings are about God's passionate persistence in pursuing us, seeking to win our hearts.
As long as Moses kept his hands raised up, Israel had the better of the fight
(Exodus 17:8-13).
Our help is from the Lord, who made heaven and earth (Psalm 121).
Remain faithful to what you have learned and believed
(2 Timothy 3:14 -- 4:2).
Will not God secure the rights of his chosen ones who call out to him day and night?
(Luke 18:1-8).

St. Matthew C.C.W. would like to share this prayer during October, Domestic Violence Awareness month.
Reflection Ephesians 2: 14-22 O God, our world at times is divided and hostile. Some people consider themselves dominant over others based on gender, race, color, class or status. Through your Son’s cross our world can be reconciled; the walls of hostility broken. We pray for all women who experience the pain and suffering of violence, that they may feel your healing touch and be at peace in your loving embrace. We pray for those who victimize and abuse others, that they may see the errors of their sins and seek repent-ance. Through the intercession of our Lady of Good Counsel, may come to us for help. We ask all these things through your Son, Jesus Christ. Amen.
