Pastor ’s Page

OCTOBER: RESPECT LIFE MONTH 2015

It is hard to believe, but the month of October is nearly here, once again, with all the beauty of the Fall colors.

October is a significant month in our church’s calendar in the USA, for it has been designated as “respect life”

month for a number of years now. It is a time for us to reflect on life: its value, its meaning and also its

defense. In particular, we, as Catholic Christians, are asked to reflect on our faith and our belief about the gift

of life. This touches on many areas such as euthanasia, medical research practices and

experimentation, abortion, the death penalty, protecting religious freedom, care for

those whose quality of life is poor or threatened, those whose lives are vulnerable for

so many reasons etc. etc. In fact, Pope Saint John Paul II prophetically spoke many

times about the need to promote a “culture of life” in the face of a growing “culture of

death.”

We can also recall all the many times that Pope Francis spoke about the beauty and

dignity of life (human life and what we might call life in creation) during his recent

visit to the USA. His words, as well as his actions, touched the hearts of many and

showed us an alternative way of living and acting towards others as well as how we see

and use our shared and fragile world and its resources.

Putting things briefly, a culture of life celebrates human life and promotes a respect for

life from the moment of conception to the moment of death. It reminds us of the value

and dignity of every human life, for we have been created in the “image and likeness of

God” (Genesis 2: 7). In this sense, it also confronts certain values, attitudes or

practices such as abortion, some types of medical research, genocide, the treating of

people as objects to be used or exploited, and euthanasia. All this is very close to

home. We can think, for example, of the recent release of those “horrendous

videos” (to quote Bishop Scharfenberger) from Planned Parenthood, or the upcoming

discussion about what is termed “assisted suicide” and the strong attempts to add some

provisions for this to the statute book.

At all times, but especially in this month of October, we are asked to promote a culture of life: to be active and

pro-active in this great calling. In fact, our new Bishop, Bishop Scharfenberger, has asked that we make an

extra effort this year to promote this culture of life. We can do this through prayer, of course, but also through

lobbying those who make laws. It is worth noting that the recent draft bill in the United Kingdom to allow for

so-called “assisted suicide” was defeated substantially by a free vote in the House of Parliament, not least

because of the great number of people (not just Catholics) who wrote to their parliamentary representatives

against the draft measure. We can also make sure that our own attitudes, values and choices are pro-life. Our

Lord tells us that He “came that all might have life and have it more abundantly” (John 10: 10). This “life” is

the life to come, but that life also begins here and now. Let us pray and work for a full respect for and defense

of life; or, as Saint John Paul II put it: to “respect, protect, love and serve life, every human life.”

To learn more about October as Respect Life Month, do visit the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops

(USCCB) website, where there is a great deal of helpful information available. The theme for this year is a

simple but vital one: “every life is worth living”. As usual, there are many extra events taking place locally,

as well as at those organized by the Diocese to mark this important month. Check the parish bulletin, the

parish website and the Diocesan website (www.rcda.org) for more details…

FAITH FORMATION NEWS

Come check out this great

introduction to the Bible, taught by Bart Trudeau. Have you wanted to

know the basics of the Bible? Would you like to refresh the basics so you

can share your faith with others? Then this is the class for you!

Special Safe Environment Training Course

Next Two Sundays

On 10/18 and 10/25 from 10am

to 12pm, we are offering the VIRTUS training course. We’re

offering these sessions especially for our Sunday Morning Faith

Formation families to meet our goal of having all of our parents registered as parish volunteers but anyone who needs to take

the course is welcome.

If you can RSVP for one session or

the other, please let us know at [email protected]

Hello friends!

Hopefully you’ve had a chance to check out some of the many ways we try to enrich the faith of our community outside of Sunday Mass.

We have many special “audiences” that we work with within our various ministries that cater to people of certain ages or life situations.

We also hope to do many things for the whole community, especially those who want to grow in understanding their faith at an adult level.

For people who want a good introduction to the Bible, check out our 4-session program beginning

on October 21st (see above). We’re also planning to both an Advent speaker series and an Advent weekly retreat (more info to come!).

Also, we post video of our sessions on our parish website (www.stambroselatham.com/media).

There are so many ways to grow: both from here and at home. We hope you take advantage of them!

In Christ,

Tom Acemoglu Pastoral Associate for Evangelization & Catechesis

29TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

ALL SOULS AND

THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER

During the month of November, we traditionally

pray for our family and friends who have died.

We have some special “All Souls” memorial

envelopes available. There will be two Masses

offered (6:30am & 7:00pm) for all those

named on 2nd November (All Soul’s Day) and

each day during the month of November. Please

use the space on the back of the envelope to write

down the names of those you wish to be

remembered and then place the envelopes with

any offering you wish to make in the collection

basket as it comes around at the weekend Masses,

or leave the envelopes at the Parish Office or in

the Sacristy. Please make sure that the envelopes

are returned as soon as possible so that the names

can be included in the Mass intentions. The

envelopes will be placed at the altar during the

month of November and those named on the back

of the envelope are prayed for during Mass.

There will also be a Book of Remembrance for

you to write down the names of loved ones who

have died.

On Sunday, 1st November during the 11.30 am

Mass, we will have a special remembrance

ceremony for all our recently deceased parish

members who have had a Funeral Mass or liturgy

at St. Ambrose during the last year (the annual

“Healing of Memories Mass”). The ceremony

will involve some special prayers, the reading of

the names of the deceased parish members and

the presentation of flower. After the Mass there

will be a reception in the McCormick Parish

Center. The families concerned should have

received an invitation to this event, but if you

have not please do contact the Parish Office as

soon as possible. Also, if you have had a family

member (from St. Ambrose or any place) who has

passed away in the last year but whose funeral

took place elsewhere, you are warmly invited to

participate in the ceremony too. Again, please

contact the Parish Office giving your name, the

name of the deceased family member(s) and how

many family and friends you estimate might be

coming.

THE DAY CHAPEL: A WONDERFUL ASSET FOR US!

At this busy time of the year, it is good to remember that

our Day Chapel (to the right side of the church) is open for

prayer during the day. Some people have asked about the

“official” opening times for the Day Chapel and for the

Church, so here they are…

The Day Chapel is usually open from 5.45 am Mondays to

Fridays (except if there is something like a public holiday).

The Day Chapel usually closes on weekdays at around

9.00 pm (except on Fridays when we have Eucharistic

Adoration and the chapel is open until midnight).

On Saturdays, the Day Chapel is open from around 8.00

am until shortly after the end of the Saturday evening Mass

(the main church is usually opened at 2.45 pm or so, ready

for the celebration of the sacrament of reconciliation and

then for the 4.30 pm Mass).

On Sundays, the Main Church and Day Chapel are open

from around 6.45 am (or a little before) until after the 5.30

pm Mass.

The Day Chapel is a wonderful facility to have, especially

as we have the Blessed Sacrament reserved there too; so

please do make use of it if you wish. Call in, even for just

a few moments of prayer, peace, focus and reflection on

the way to or coming back from school, work, shopping,

running errands or whenever you are just passing by the

church. Those few moments will certainly not be

wasted…!
