World Mission Sunday Collection World Mission Sunday is celebrated throughout
the world in October of each year. It is taken up
under the auspices of the Pontifical Mission
Societies for the needs of the Church throughout
the world. After the collection is taken up the
parish sends a check to the Joliet Diocese
Finance Office. It should be made payable to
the “Diocese of Joliet” with "World Mission
Sunday" in the memo line. Please send the
check within two weeks because the financial
year of Joliet Diocese Missions ends in December
because we must report to the National Office of
the Pontifical Mission Societies.
Thank you for your generosity

Request for Prayers for the Sick If you or someone from your immediate family would like to be prayed for at weekend Mass, you must contact the Parish Office at 815-469-3750. The name will be mentioned for a two-weekend period. After two weekends, the name will be removed from the Pass Petitions. If you would like to have the name mentioned after that, you will have to contact the Parish Office again. Just a reminder: Only the person who is ill or someone from the immediate family can make the request due to the HIPAA policy.
***
Request for Hospital Visit When you or someone from your immediate family are admitted to the hospital and you would like a visit from a Priest or Deacon, you need to contact the Parish Office. The hospital does not always contact the parish, and the parish is not given a list of names of parishioners in the hospital and we cannot legally request one. This is a HIPAA policy. Only the person who is ill or the immediate family can make the request for a hospital visit.

Distribution In order to preserve the reverence in the Eucharist, it was decided to move the station from the back to the front of the church. We invite all who are physically able to join us in the front for Communion. Those who are not able, the Eucharist will be provided. Please notify an usher when you come to
Mass. Once the side aisles are finished, ministers will come to the back of church. When you see the ministers approach please raise your hand. For questions, call Deacon Joe Johnson at 815-469-3750, x111.
KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS CALENDARS FOR PRISONERS
Our St. Anthony Knights of Columbus Council #9770 in the past years has donated religious and secular items approved by the Chaplains and Prison Administrators to the inmates at Stateville Penitentiary. Calendars, both religious and non-
sectarian, are in high demand. Many parishioners receive complimentary calendars in the Fall. The Chaplain at Stateville said he could potentially distribute 3,500-4,000 calendars. Last year we collected over 500 calendars. To donate calendars through our Knights of Columbus, please place them in the box labeled “Calendars” that can be found in the Atrium. Thank you.
St. Anthony Seniors Meeting St. Anthony's Seniors will meet at 12:00 p.m. (noon) on Wednesday, October 25, 2017. Membership dues of $10 per person are due at this meeting. We will enjoy Jersey Mikes box lunches which will include a mini sub, chips and a cookie. Cost is $8.50 per person. Be sure to bring your own drink of choice. If you were not present at the September meeting and would like to order a box lunch to enjoy at this meeting, please call Patricia Backus @ 708-720-9321 with your selection of either American, Italian or Beef sub. Following lunch we will enjoy coffee and cake. After our tummies are full we will play Bingo so be sure to bring your singles!

Catechist Corner
Can we interact with angels?
Yes. We can call on angels for help and
ask them to intercede with God. Every
person receives from God a guardian
angel. It is good and sensible to pray to
one's guardian angel for oneself and for
others. Angels can also make themselves
noticeable in the life of a Christian, for
example, as bearers of a message or as
helpful guides. Our faith has nothing to do
with the false angels of New Age
spirituality and other forms of
esotericism. (YOUCAT questions 54-55)
Dig Deeper: CCC section (328-342)
Do you think you will be in heaven? In
today’s Gospel Jesus tells a parable
about the kingdom of heaven. He
addresses the parable to the religious
leaders, people who were fairly
confident that they were chosen by
God for salvation. In the parable, who
finally got to enjoy the wedding feast?
Were you surprised by this? Do you
think those who heard the parable as
Jesus told it were surprised? Jesus
teaches us in this Gospel the
importance of humility as we hope for
God’s kingdom and salvation.
Question for Children: Why is it
important for you to do what Jesus
asks of you?
Question for Adults: Each week we are
invited to participate in Mass. When
you are at Mass, how well do you really
participate? How could you be more
present in heart, mind, and spirit?
Anything but Ordinary (Time) Facts
In 313, Emperor Constantine announced the toleration of
Christianity in the Edict of Milan. He did not create the
Catholic Church, as is sometimes believed.

The Messiah holds the blood of human lives as precious, and therefore He brings an end to oppression and violence. He is on the side of the helpless. Let us praise You, the God Who sets us free from violence, and cooperate with Your grace to free the oppressed

THE HEAVENLY BANQUET The mountain of the Lord described in today’s first reading is a place where there is no more hunger, no more weeping, and no more division of any kind. We need to pause and ponder these images every now and then, especially given the fact that we live in such a fractured world. The responsorial psalm continues to paint a picture of a place where only goodness and kindness flourish. These readings describe the heavenly banquet, to which God calls each of us through baptism and continues to call us throughout our lives. Let us “RSVP” to God’s invitation and live our lives consistent with gospel values so that one day we will be welcomed to the table of the kingdom.

Autumn Prayer O God of Creation, you have blessed us with the changing of
the seasons. As we e m b r a c e t h e s e autumn months, May the earlier setting of the sun remind us to take time to rest.
May the crunch of the leaves beneath our feet remind us of the brevity of this earthly life. May the steam of our breath in the cool air remind us that it is you who give us your breath of life. May the scurrying of the squirrels and the migration of the birds remind us that you call us to follow your will. We praise you for your goodness forever and ever. Amen.
