LETTER FROM THE PASTOR
����������������������������������������� �
All Saints vs. Halloween
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
The way our culture currently recognizes Halloween is more than scary… it is wrong. Let me
attempt to clarify a few things. This week we will celebrate the Feast of All Saints, which is
celebrated every November 1st. This celebration dates back to the fourth century. It was
originally called the Feast of All Martyrs and it was celebrated on May 13th. The words “martyr”
and “saint” originally meant basically the same thing — someone who is a witness to Christ even
unto death.
The early Christians usually placed the body of the martyr, someone who had been killed for the faith, in a tomb that was
easily accessible. Then on the anniversary of that martyr’s death, the faithful would come and pray and celebrate the Eucha-
rist on or near the tomb of this Christian hero or heroine. That is why many altars have a relic of a saint located in the altar.
Eventually, these celebrations were held in local churches to commemorate not just one martyr, but all who had given their
lives for the faith. By the fifth century, this feast of “All Saints” was held on the Friday of Easter week.
In the ninth century, Pope Gregory the IV changed the date to November 1st. In 1484 Pope Sixtus IV established November
1st as a holy day of obligation. Those Christians who endured torture for the faith, but did not die, were treated with great
respect. Therefore, their local church honored those who led heroic and faithful lives as saints after their deaths.
SO, what is Halloween? It is the vigil for the Feast of All Saints. It is also known as “All Hallow’s Eve.” The word
“Hallowed” means holy (as in “hallowed be Thy name”). The abbreviated name for evening became “e’en” and this is
where we get the name “Halloween.” The day before All Saints is called Halloween even in the secular world. The name is
Christian. Halloween means the eve of All Hallows, the eve of All Saints.
Halloween, as a pagan event, does date back to the time before Christianity. It was a pagan Celtic feast. The pagans believed
that after sunset on Samhain, which we now called Halloween, the spirits of the dead and evil spirits roamed the skies seek-
ing to harm humans, especially if the dead had been harmed by them. To protect themselves people disguised themselves by
dressing up in costumes and carried lights inside turnips.
The Church, in her desire to always stamp out evil, has turned this pagan feast into a Christian feast by moving All Saints to
November 1st, to coincide with the pagan celebration. Children have fun on Halloween now and it is OK but it would be a
tragedy if children did not know the Christian feast at this time, the feast of All Saints. So if your children are celebrating
Halloween and know nothing about All Saints, please explain All Saints to them.
We are Christians, so let us not celebrate as pagans. Let us celebrate the Feast of All Saints. Rather than concentrating on
witches, ghosts, and goblins, let us think on those who have gone before us, having persevered in holiness and faithfulness,
setting before us the way of salvation for our souls. This is a time to celebrate their lives and give our children real heroes
and heroines that they can look up to and pattern their lives after.
God Bless,
Fr. Don Kline, V.F.

GOSPEL REFLECTION
"God, be merciful to me a sinner!"
God hears the prayer of the humble
Jesus reinforced this warning with a vivid story of two people at prayer.
Why did the Lord accept one person's prayer
and reject the other's prayer? Luke gives us
a hint: despising one's neighbor closes the
door to God's heart. Expressing disdain and
contempt for others is more than being mean
-minded. It springs from the assumption that
one is qualified to sit in the seat of judgment
and to publicly shame those who do not conform to our standards and
religious practices. Jesus' story caused offense to the religious-minded
Pharisees who regarded "tax collectors" as unworthy of God's grace
and favor. How could Jesus put down a "religious person" and raise up
a "public sinner"?
Jesus' parable speaks about the nature of prayer and our relationship
with God. It does this by contrasting two very different attitudes
towards prayer. The Pharisee, who represented those who take pride
in their religious practices, exalted himself at the expense of others.
Absorbed with his own sense of self-satisfaction and self-
congratulation, his boastful prayer was centered on his good religious
practices rather than on God's goodness, grace, and pardon. Rather
than humbling himself before God and asking for God's mercy and
help, this man praised himself while despising those he thought less
worthy. The Pharisee tried to justify himself before God and before
those he despised; but only God can justify us. The tax collector, who
represented those despised by religious-minded people, humbled
himself before God and begged for mercy. His prayer was heard by
God because he had true sorrow for his sins. He sought God with
humility rather than with pride.
The humble recognize their need for God's mercy and help
This parable presents both an opportunity and a warning. Pride leads
to self-deception and spiritual blindness. True humility helps us to see
ourselves as we really are in God's eyes and it inclines us to seek
God's help and mercy. God dwells with the humble of heart who
recognize their own sinfulness and who acknowledge God's mercy
and saving grace. I dwell in the high and holy place, and also with him
who is of a contrite and humble spirit (Isaiah 57:15). God cannot hear
us if we boast in ourselves and despise others. Do you humbly seek
God's mercy and do you show mercy to others, especially those you
find difficult to love and to forgive?
"Lord Jesus, may your love and truth transform my life - my inner
thoughts, intentions, and attitudes, and my outward behavior, speech,
and actions. Where I lack charity, kindness, and forbearance, help me
to embrace your merciful love and to seek the good of my neighbor,
even those who cause me ill-favor or offense. May I always love as
you have loved and forgive others as you have forgiven."
www.dailyscripture.org
Indeed, the word of God is living and effective,
sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating even
between soul and spirit, joints and marrow, and able
to discern reflections and thoughts of the heart.” —
Hebrews 4:12

Celebrating All Saints and
All Souls Days
The Solemnity of All Saints is celebrated on November
1st. It is a Solemnity, most often a holy day of
obligation, and is the day that the Church honors all of
God's saints, even those who have not been canonized
by the Church. It is a family day of celebration—we
celebrate the memory of those family members (the
communion of saints) now sharing eternal happiness
in the presence of God. We rejoice that they have
reached their eternal goal and ask their prayers on our
behalf so that we, too, may join them in heaven and
praise God through all eternity.
The honoring of all Christian martyrs of the Faith was
originally celebrated on May 13, the date established in
the fourth century. Pope Boniface IV in 615 established
it as the "Feast of All Martyrs" commemorating the
dedication of the Pantheon, an ancient Roman temple,
into a Christian church dedicated to the Blessed Virgin
Mary and all the martyrs. By 741, the feast included not
only martyrs, but all the saints in heaven as well, with
the title changing to "Feast of All Saints" by 840. In
844, Pope Gregory IV transferred the feast to
November 1st, timing it around the harvests to be able
to provide food for the pilgrims who came to celebrate
the feast.
November 2nd is designated by the Church as the
Feast of All Souls, a day to pray for all the departed
souls in Purgatory. The feasts of All Saints and All
Souls fall back to back to express the Christian belief
of the "Communion of Saints." The Communion of
Saints is the union of all the faithful on earth (the
Church Militant), the saints in Heaven (the Church
Triumphant) and the Poor Souls in Purgatory (the
Church Suffering), with Christ as the Head. They are
bound together by baptism and can help one another.
The Church Militant (those on earth still engaged in the
struggle to save their souls) can venerate the Church
Triumphant, and those saints can intercede with
God for those still on earth. Both the faithful on
earth and the saints in heaven can pray for the
souls in Purgatory. During these two days, we see
the Communion of Saints really in action!

Troop 818 Leadership Outing
Recently, about 25 scouts from Boy Scout Troop 818 traveled to
Camp R-C, about 20 miles from Payson. This was our annual leader-
ship outing, where we teach newer and older scouts tips and tricks
on how to be a better leader. The most important thing that was
taught was the EDGE (Explain, Demonstrate, Guide, Enable) meth-
od of teaching. This is a very common method used in scouting to
teach important topics to new scouts. Being a leader in one’s troop
requires constant use of this method to help the entire troop learn and grow. Some scouts hiked the summit; a beauti-
ful hike on the Mogollon rim. The weather was perfect for hiking, and was not as hot as expected, which is always
nice. We also put our scouts’ leadership to the test by developing our troop vision statement together as a troop. “We
will continue to aid each other and improve communication interpersonally and between patrols to become better
equipped for our monthly PLC (Patrol Leadership Council). In supplement to our communication, we will organize
our patrols, meetings, and lives with the help of our fellow scouts to succeed, win our races, and defeat our obstacles
together as a team, and a troop.” Our vision is to become better leaders ourselves, and to take our responsibilities
seriously. This outing taught every scout, even those who thought there wasn’t much left to learn, how to lead their
fellow scouts properly, and to take charge. Due to this, we are already on our way to achieving our goal.
Because All Saints Day,
a holy day of obligation,
falls on the first Friday of
November, there will be
no First Friday Adoration
or Benediction that day.
Please join us for one of
our Holy Day masses.

November: A Time for
Remembering
Our Loved Ones
During the month of November,
our Parish enrolls the names of
deceased family members and friends in our Book of
Remembrance. The Book will be placed by the altar this
weekend. Please write the names of your loved ones in
this book so we can remember them in our prayers.
Please enter only names not previously entered.
We will also begin collecting photos of loved ones for
our Remembrance table. Pictures must be framed and
labeled and can be dropped off at the Parish Office
anytime between October 22nd and October 29th.
From our Society's beginning, the central and
most basic activity of conferences has been
the visitation of the needy in their homes. This
is the clearest symbol of our Vincentian
charism, which dictates the highest respect for the dignity of
those in need. It symbolizes our Vincentian commitment to
reach out rather than require them to report to an outside
service site. In the home, they feel most free to confide their
stories of struggle. In that family setting Vincentians are
asked to listen, offer humble advice, and render assistance.
Over the last quarter of our year, ending September 30th, our
conference paid rents of more than $5,700.00 to avoid
evictions and to keep six families in their homes and off the
streets. In that same quarter, $595.00 was paid to avoid shut
offs of water, electricity and phones. The Fifth Sunday
collection, collected on that last weekend in September, has
given us over $8,000.00 to continue with the good works of
SVdP. Thank you for your generosity and the support that
allows us to continue to be the face of Christ and follow in the
footsteps of St. Vincent de Paul.

As pastors of the Catholic Church in the United States, we state as
clearly and strongly as we can that violence against women, inside
or outside the home, is never justified. Violence in any form"—
physical, sexual, psychological, or verbal"—is sinful; often, it is a
crime as well. We have called for a moral revolution to replace a
culture of violence. We acknowledge that violence has many
forms, many causes, and many victims—men as well as women.
The Catholic Church teaches that violence against another person
in any form fails to treat that person as someone worthy of love.
Instead, it treats the person as an object to be used. When violence
occurs within a sacramental marriage, the abused spouse may
question, "How do these violent acts relate to my promise to take
my spouse for better or for worse?" The person being assaulted
needs to know that acting to end the abuse does not violate the
marriage promises. While violence can be directed towards men, it
tends to harm women and children more.
In 1992 we spoke out against domestic violence. We called on the
Christian community to work vigorously against it. Since then,
many dioceses, parishes, and organizations have made domestic
violence a priority issue. We commend and encourage these
efforts.
In this update of our 1992 statement, we again express our desire
to offer the Church's resources to both the women who are abused
and the men who abuse. Both groups need Jesus' strength and
healing.
We focus here on violence against women, since 85 percent of the
victims of reported cases of non-lethal domestic violence are
women. Women's greatest risk of violence comes from intimate
partners—a current or former husband or boyfriend.
Violence against women in the home has serious repercussions for
children. Over 50 percent of men who abuse their wives also beat
their children.
Children who grow up in violent homes are more
likely to develop alcohol and drug addictions and to become
abusers themselves.
The stage is set for a cycle of violence that
may continue from generation to generation.
The Church can help break this cycle. Many abused women seek
help first from the Church because they see it as a safe place.
Domestic violence is any kind of behavior that a person uses to
control an intimate partner through fear and intimidation. It includes
physical, sexual, psychological, verbal, and economic abuse.
Some examples of domestic abuse include battering, name-calling
and insults, threats to kill or harm one's partner or children,
destruction of property, marital rape, and forced sterilization or
abortion.
Younger, unmarried women are at greatest risk for domestic
violence. According to a U.S. government survey, 53 percent of
victims were abused by a current or former girlfriend or boyfriend.
One-third of all victims were abused by a spouse, while 14 percent
said that the offender was an ex-spouse. Women ages 16 to 24 are
nearly three times as vulnerable to attacks by intimate partners
as those in other age groups; abuse victims between ages 35 and
49 run the highest risk of being killed.
While abuse cuts across all ethnic and economic backgrounds,
some women face particular obstacles. Women of color may not
view the criminal justice system as a source of help. Additionally, in
some cultures women feel pressured to keep problems within the
home and to keep the family together at all costs. Some fear that
they will lose face in the community if they leave. Immigrant women
often lack familiarity with the language and legal systems of this
country. Their abusers may threaten them with deportation.
Women in rural communities may find themselves with fewer
resources. The isolation imposed by distance and lack of
transportation can aggravate their situation. Isolation can also be a
factor for women who do not work outside the home. They may
have less access to financial resources and to information about
domestic violence. Women with disabilities and elderly women are
also particularly vulnerable to violence.
Some who suffer from domestic violence are also victims of
stalking, which includes following a person, making harassing
phone calls, and vandalizing property. Eight percent of women in
the United States have been stalked at some time in their lives,
and more than one million are stalked annually.
Stalking is a
unique crime because stalkers are obsessed with controlling their
victims' actions and feelings. A victim can experience extreme
stress, rage, depression, and an inability to trust anyone.
Domestic violence is often shrouded in silence. People outside the
family hesitate to interfere, even when they suspect abuse is
occurring. Many times even extended family denies that abuse
exists, out of loyalty to the abuser and in order to protect the image
of the family. Some people still argue—mistakenly—that
intervention by outside sources endangers the sanctity of the
home. Yet abuse and assault are no less serious when they occur
within a family. Even when domestic violence is reported,
sometimes there are failures to protect victims adequately or to
punish perpetrators.

for Help: A Pastoral Response to Domestic Violence Against Women

In this Sunday’s Gospel, the tax collector’s
prayer allows God to be God and so allows
God to pour mercy into his heart. When we
pray and give alms to the poor, we allow
God’s mercy to be poured into their hearts.
In the month of October, through your gifts, the Society
of St. Vincent de Paul was able to bring God’s love and
mercy to many families, providing food and help with
rent and utility bills. Thank you!

St. Bernadette Adoration Chapel
“The Eucharist is a priceless treasure: by not only celebrating it
but also by praying before it outside of Mass, we are enabled to
make contact with the very wellspring of grace.”
St. John Paul II
