30th SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME (October 29, 2017)

MASS INTENTIONS: Every Mass is a wonderful gift of God for us. We consciously recall the love of God poured out for us in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. At each Mass all the intentions of all God’s people, both living and dead, are included. Since each Mass is of infinite value, requesting only several Masses is of tremendous benefit for the person prayed for as well as for the family knowing that their intention is joined with the prayer of the church. Envelopes are placed at the entrance of the church. If you need a specific date please let us know at least one month in advance.

ATTENTION: COORDINATORS OF VARIOUS MINISTRIES

IN OUR PARISH: Through the revised Responsible Faith Ministry

Manual of the Dioceses of St. Catherines, updated and published on

September 7, 2017, requests that any volunteer who is involved with

children’s programs and visiting vulnerable adults must undergo a

screening process and obtain a Police Clearance Certificate. This is to

protect not only the children and vulnerable adults but also the

volunteers & workers. No coordinators of events shall seek the help of

a person or persons who has not completed these procedures. If some

one approaches you wanting to help, please do not allow them to be a

part of the event unless you verify with me or the Secretary of the

parish. Even if you know someone has completed the process, still

they should not be allowed to be a part of the event without the

Pastor’s permission. Only parents of the children and teachers will

be allowed to be a part of the youth program and youth activities, as

coordinators, helpers or chaperones. Members of the Faith Ministry

team are Pam Tempeny (Coordinator), Glenna Dulmage, Laurie

Rykse, Margaret Kielbowich & Shelley Dulmage. Those who wish to

volunteer will be asked to get a Police Clearance Certificate from the

OPP office in Cayuga. Together with the application form, a letter

from the Pastor as well as two pieces of government issued

identification is required to apply for it. Police checks will be mailed

to the applicant. No fee for the police check for volunteers. Pam will

be contacting you soon. Thanks for your cooperation.

LEARN FROM EAGLE: Seven Principles of an eagle to

live by (1) Eagles fly alone and at high altitudes. They don’t

fly with sparrows or other small birds. Stay away from

sparrows and ravens, those that bring you down. Eagles fly

with Eagles. Keep good company. (2) Eagles have accurate

vision. They have the ability to focus on something as far as

5km. No matter the obstacles, the eagle will not move his

focus from the prey until he grabs it. Have a vision and

remain focused no matter what the obstacle and you will

succeed. (3) Eagles do not eat dead things. They feed only

on fresh prey. Do not rely on your past success. Keep looking

for new frontiers to conquer. Leave your past where it

belongs, in the past. (4) Eagles love the storm. When clouds

gather, the eagles get excited. The eagle uses the storm’s wind

to lift it higher. Once it finds the wind of the storm, the eagle

uses the raging storm to lift him above the clouds. This gives

the eagle an opportunity to glide and rest its wings. In the

meantime, all the other birds hide in the leaves and branches

of the trees. Face your challenges knowing that these will

make you emerge stronger and better than you were. We can

use the storms of life to rise to greater heights. Achievers are

not afraid of challenges rather they relish them and use them

profitably. (5) Eagles test the commitments of the

partner. When a female eagle meets a male and they want to

mate, she flies down to earth with the male pursing her and

she picks a twig. She flies back into the air with the male

pursuing her. Once she has reached a height high enough for

her, she lets the twig fall to the ground and watches it as it

falls. The male chases after the twig. The faster it falls, the

faster he chases until he reaches it and has to catch it before it

falls to the ground, then bring it back to the female eagle. The

female eagle grabs the twig and flies to a much higher

altitude, and then drops the twig for the male to chase. This

goes on for hours, with the height increasing until the female

eagle is assured that the male eagle has mastered the art of

picking the twig which shows commitment, then and only

then, will she allow him to mate with her! Whether in private

life or in business, one should test commitment of people

intended for partnership. (6) Eagles prepare for training.

They remove the feathers and soft grass in the nest so that the

young get uncomfortable in preparation for flying. Leave

your comfort zone, there is no growth in it. (7) Rebirth of an

Eagle: When the Eagle grows old, his feathers become weak

and cannot take him as fast as he should. When he feels weak

and about to die, he retires to a place far away in the rocks.

While there, he plucks out every feather on his body until he is

completely bare. He stays in this hiding place until he has

grown new feathers, then he can come out. [It is a myth and

not true, but let us take the lesson] We occasionally need to

shed off old habits, things

that burden us, or add no

value to our lives.

“But those who wait on

The Lord shall renew

their strength; they shall

mount up with wings like

eagles; they shall run

and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.”

SWEET REVENGE: A poor young boy was in love with a

rich man’s daughter. One day, the boy proposed to her, and the

girl said, “Your monthly salary is equivalent to my daily

expenses. How can I be involved with you?” She went on, “How

could you have thought of that? I can never love you, so forget

about me and get engaged to someone else of your level.” But

for some reason, the young boy could not forget her so easily.

Roughly 10 years later, they stumbled into each other in a

shopping mall. She immediately said, “Hey, you! How are you?

Now I’m married, and do you know how much my husband’s

salary is? $15,700 per month! Can you beat that? And he is also

very smart.” The man’s eyes became wet with tears on hearing

those words from the woman he used to care for. A few seconds

later, her husband came around. But before the woman could

say a word, her husband saw the man and said, “Sir, you’re

here! And you’ve met my wife!” Then he turned to his

wife, “This is my boss who runs the $100 million project I’ve

been working on! And if you want to know something strange

about him, he once loved a lady but he couldn’t win her heart.

That’s why he has remained unmarried since.” He went

on, “How lucky would that lady have been if she had married

this man right here?” The lady looked in total shock but

couldn’t utter a word. Life is very short and just like a mirror.

We can only see as much as it reflects. So don’t be too

arrogant or proud by looking down on others because of their

current situations. Things can change with time, just like the

weather. Don’t underestimate anyone, because everyone has a

different story.

*Teacher: "Kids, what does the chicken give you?" Student: "Meat!"

Teacher: "Very good! Now what does the pig give you?" Student:

"Bacon!" Teacher: "Great! And what does the fat cow give you?"

Student: "Homework!" *My friend thinks he is smart. He told me an

onion is the only food that makes you cry, so I threw a coconut at his

face. * Q: Is Google male or female? A: Female, because it doesn't let

you finish a sentence before making a suggestion. *A teacher asked

her students to use the word "beans" in a sentence. "My father grows

beans," said one girl. "My mother cooks beans," said a boy. A third

student spoke up, "We are all human beans." *Q: Why was six scared

of seven? A: Because seven "ate" nine. *A boy asks his father, "Dad,

are bugs good to eat?" "That's disgusting. Don't talk about things like

that over dinner," the dad replies. After dinner the father asks, "Now,

son, what did you want to ask me?" "Oh, nothing," the boy says.

There was a bug in your soup, but now it’s gone." *Q: What starts

with E, ends with E, and has only 1 letter in it? A: Envelope. *Math

Teacher: "If I have 5 bottles in one hand and 6 in the other hand,

what do I have?" Student: "A drinking problem."
