Mission Statement We, the members of Sacred Heart Catholic Church, as a caring Christian community, help one another to live, to nurture, and to celebrate God’s gifts. We encourage others on their faith journeys to join us in giving witness to our Catholic faith and to grow as disciples. We celebrate the sacraments and receive the gift of grace to strengthen our faith and to en-rich our relationships with Christ and his Church.

Infant Baptism Preparation

The first step for parents wish-ing to have an infant child bap-tized at Sacred Heart is attend-ing a Baptism Gathering with the child. At the Gathering par-

ents discuss the responsibility involved in having a child baptized and share ideas on living out their commitment to raise their children in the Catholic faith. The next Bap-tism Gathering is Sunday, October 26th at 3:30 p.m. in the Gathering Space of the church.

Seth and Michelle Banwell have resigned as music minis-ters effective the end of this month. They have done a ter-rific job, but the demands of their work—along with hav-ing young children—have been too much to continue. We thank them for their wonderful work, and look forward to their returning to the ministry sometime in the future. Tom Netzel will resume music ministry duties starting in November.

Saturday, November 1st, is the Solemnity of All Saints, and is customarily a holyday of obliga-tion. This year, however, it falls on a Saturday, and the faithful are released of the obligation to attend Mass. A Mass for All Saints will be cele-brated on Friday, October 31, at 6 p.m. at Sa-cred Heart. This will be the only Mass for All Saints for both Newton and Colfax. The week-end Masses on November 1/2 will commemo-

rate all the faithful departed (All Souls).

Saint’s

A STEWARDSHIP MOMENT A thought or two on stewardship in the Sunday readings

There is one word or command that summarizes today’s Gos-pel - love. For Jesus there is no distinction between these two commands of loving God and neighbor. One naturally flows from the other. In fact, for Jesus, these commands constitute a way of life for Christian stewards; a unique approach to life and to their relationship with others. Our neighbors include every-one with whom we come into contact: family members, friends, people we don’t like, strangers and particularly those most in need of our love and compassion. Love is always for doing well and helping others grow closer to the Lord. What are ways in which we might do better at following Christ’s love command?

“Love God with your whole heart, with your whole soul, and with all your mind.” Is Christ calling you to let Him manifest His love in you as a priest or consecrated religious? Call Fr. Thom Hennen, diocesan vocations director at 563-324-1911, or write: HennenT@ diodav.org.

If you are admit-ted to a hospital please remember to inform the par-

ish office so that parish staff can attempt to visit you. When you are admitted to a hospi-tal please be sure to be identified as a Catho-lic at the time of your admission.

Local Charities Collection Next weekend, November 1st and 2nd, we will have the annual collection for local charities. This provides the funds to assist the worthy poor who come to us at McCann Center seeking assistance. Our funds for this have been depleted for a while, so we have not been able to provide any assistance for several weeks. Generosity in the collections allows the parish to help meet the needs of the wider community. Very few who benefit from these funds are members of Sacred Heart Church. Father Reynolds is the only person who is authorized to make a deci-sion to disburse these funds. This keeps the lay staff from be-ing in that difficult position of making those decisions. Your helps goes widely in the community through this collection.

"The reality is that we don't forget, move on, and have closure, but rather we honor, we remember, and incorporate our deceased children and sib-lings into our lives in a new way. In fact, keeping memories of your loved one alive in your mind and heart is an important part of your healing journey."

~ Harriet Schiff, The Bereaved Parent

Life After Loss


Austyn Eidahl of the SHARE Preschool practicing his fire-fighter skills with the Newton Fire Department this week.

Dan Dorau, the seminarian who was here for six weeks this summer, was in-stalled into the ministry of acolyte re-cently. This is another important step in his preparation for ordained ministry.

Ministry Of

Acolyte

As some of you are already aware, Joe Purvis has can-cer and it has spread to his liver, pelvic bones, and lymph nodes by his neck/shoulder. The family knew, if the cancer returned, it would not be something they would be able to cure. Joe has been diagnosed as ter-minal, and has been given approximately 3-6 months to live. There is one last treatment that Joe is going to try. It’s a new drug recently approved to be used for melanoma called PD1. It is available to Joe, but is not covered by insurance because it has not been ap-proved to be used for his type of cancer. It is new and the data on it only goes out 18 months. Joe’s oncolo-gist said Joe has a 50/50 chance that it will either stop the growth of the cancer or possibly shrink it. Joe will be able to start this new drug next week. He will get it every two weeks for two months, and then will have scans to see if it’s working. If it shows it’s working, he will continue on this drug. If it doesn't show signs of working, he will probably make the decision to stop it at that point. Please continue to keep Joe, Stacey, and their kids in your thoughts and prayers. Pray for the drug to work, and slow the spread of Joe’s cancer; al-lowing him more time with his family and friends, And, pray that the insurance company will cover some if not all of the cost of the drug; taking the financial burden off of his family. Joe and Stacey have been blown away by the generosity of family and friends! To those of you who have donated so far, thank you! Every bit will help Joe, Stacey and the kids during this time!

A Zealot Saint &

a Saint for Lost

Causes! On October 28th each

year we celebrate the

feasts of Sts. Simon and

Jude! St. Simon is called

“the Zealot!” A zealot was a member of a Jewish sect that

represented an extreme of Jewish nationalism. They be-

lieved the messianic promise of the Old Testament meant

that the Jews were to be a free and independent nation.

God alone was their king, and any payment of taxes to the

Romans, the very domination of the Romans, was a blas-

phemy against God. Upon meeting Jesus, Simon’s world

was changed. It is probably not fair that we still call him St.

Simon the Zealot, although it is not because he remained

one, but because it keeps him separated from the other

Simon, Peter, who was originally known as Simon Peter. St.

Jude also probably had a name change. He was probably

known as Judas, but in order to keep him separate from the

Iscariot and the disgrace of that name; his name is shortened

to Jude. Matthew and Mark’s Gospels call him Thaddeus.

It is believed that Simon and Jude died together on the same

day in Persia, and so they have always been celebrated to-

gether. Because of so many powerful experiences of inter-

cession by St. Jude, he has become known as a patron saint

for lost causes. A more official title would be “The Saint for

the Hopeless and the Despaired.” They both followed Jesus

and lost their lives in horrible fashion because of their faith

and their love of Jesus. Sts. Simon and Jude, pray for us!

America's Deadly Silence! Abortion is the most common, least regulated medi-cal procedure and the number one killer in America. More lives are lost each year through abortion than all deaths due to cancer, heart attacks, accidents, AIDS, natural disasters, wars, illness and diseases combined. The savagery of war, the atrocities of the Nazi holo-caust, graphic violence, natural disasters and critical and bloody medical procedures are routinely shown on the media. But never an abortion!

Women are denied critical information on the risks of an abortion, including increased risk of Breast Cancer, Post Abortion Syndrome, the sale of body parts etc. School based health clinics distribute con-doms and contraceptives to minors without parental knowledge or consent and again, this is hardly mentioned in the media. The truth about abortion has been censored by the media, silenced by our courts, politicized by our politicians and even silenced in our churches and schools. Babies in the womb have no voice except yours and mine. We cannot remain silent any longer!

Silencio mortal de los Estados Unidos El aborto es el mas común y menos regulado de los procedimientos médicos en los Estados Unidos y es el asesino número uno. Cada año se pierden mas vidas debido al aborto que todas las otras muertes debidas al cáncer, ataques al corazón, accidentes, SIDA, desastres naturales, guerras y enfermedades combinados. El salvajismo de las guerras, las atrocidades del holocausto Nazi, la violencia, los desastres naturales y los procedimientos médicos críticos y sangrientos son mostrados en forma rutinaria en los medios de comunicación. Pero nunca un aborto! A las mujeres se les niega información crítica acerca de los riesgos de un aborto, incluyendo el riesgo incremental de cancer de mama, el sindrome post aborto, la venta de partes del cuerpo, etc. Las clínicas de salud basadas en las escuelas distribuyen condones y anticonceptivos a los menores sin el cono-cimiento ni aprobación de los padres y, nuevamente, esto es muy raramente mencionado en los medios de comunicación. La verdad acerca del aborto ha sido censurada por los los medios de comunicación, silenciada en las cortes de justicia, politizada por los políticos y aun silenciada en las escuelas e iglesias. Los bebés que aun están en el vientre no tienen una voz excepto la suya y la mia. No podemos ya seguir callados !


dear Padre What is

palliative care? My aunt has terminal can-cer. Her doctors have ad-

vised her to stop chemotherapy and begin palliative care, but she says that’s equivalent to assisted suicide. Is that what the Church thinks? Palliative care doesn’t prolong life, but neither does it cause life to end. The bishops are quite clear that palliative care is neither euthanasia nor assisted suicide, which are always sinful. The Catechism of the Catholic Church says treating or not treating a patient in a way that will cause death is always murder (2277). However, a patient’s choice to dis-continue “burdensome, dangerous, ex-traordinary [emphasis added]” treatment “can be legitimate” when it’s done not to cause death, but in recognition of “one’s inability to impede it” (2278). But even when death seems to be close, “ordinary care” that would be given to any sick per-son cannot be interrupted (2279). Palliative care doesn’t cause death. It simply gives terminally ill people spiri-tual support and relief from their physical symptoms. An excellent resource on this topic, “Killing the Pain, Not the Patient: Palliative Care vs. Assisted Suicide,” is available at usccb.org. The Catechism says palliative care “should be encour-aged” (2279). It helps the dying person and the family focus on the gift of life and the blessing each person is. The pa-tient who legitimately chooses palliative care is not waiting to die, but rather living those last moments to the fullest and as comfortably as possible.

October 26, 2014 30th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Ex 22:20–26 / 1 Thes 1:5c–10 / Mt 22:34–40

Quickly, name the greatest law of the United States. I think all of us would have to think about that. Some might name a precept like “All men are created equal.” Others might talk about the Bill of Rights. But when it comes to the laws that embody these precepts, we might point to any number of them and disagree about which is the greatest. Jesus has no such problem. When the Pharisees try to test him with a similar question about Jewish law, Jesus responds immediately with the great commandment from Deuteronomy (6:4) and pairs it with a law found in Leviticus (19:18). The Pharisees knew both laws, but the first had been emphasized throughout Israelite tradition. The Jews were commanded to teach it to their children and to bind the words to their foreheads and wrists. The sec-ond, though, was one of a series of laws, seemingly no more or less important than the ones that surrounded it.

When Jesus lifted up the two of them, he made it very clear that our first love is always for God, to whom we give our entire being. Jesus is equally clear, though,

that we cannot stop there. We must also love our neighbors as we love our-selves. Indeed, our relationship with God and our relationship with one an-other are bound up in each other. When one is broken, so is the other. When one flourishes, so does the other. Loving God and neighbor draws us together as Church to praise and worship God and to reach out to the world. Let us obey both these commandments with equal joy.
