Welcome to Holy Rosary Parish
Dear Friends,
Many thanks to all who made possible and participated in the Parish Picnic last weekend. The Lord gave us a beautiful day and as an outdoor event, I think we safely enjoyed each other’s company. I especially appreciated all those who volunteered this year. God bless you!
This coming week, Fr. Martin & I were scheduled to be at New Harmony for a
Priest Convocation. That event had to be cancelled due to the illness of our scheduled presenter. Bishop Siegel suggested that we still get away from the parish and use those days for some prayer and renewal. Fr. Martin and I will be away Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. There will not be Mass here at Holy Rosary on those days. Please keep the two of us in your prayers as we make a small retreat away.
We congratulate Juanita Garza, Karen Helmerich
& Bob Moffett; newly elected members to the Holy Rosary Parish Pastoral Council. Many thanks to Don Mosbey and Brad Raben for their years of service in parish leadership. Thanks also to Lloyd Young for his willingness to stand for election.
If you have not done so yet, it would be much appreciated if you could return your Catholic Parishes Campaign pledge card at your earliest convenience.
Many thanks for your continued support and generosity.
Christ’s peace, Fr. Bernie

Queridos amigos,
Muchas gracias a todos los que participaron e hicieron posible el Picnic parroquial el pasado fin de semana. El Señor nos dio un hermoso día y, como un evento al aire libre, creo que disfrutamos de la compañía del otro con seguridad.
Agradecí especialmente a todos los que se ofrecieron como voluntarios este año. ¡Dios te bendiga!
Esta semana que viene, el P. Martin y yo estábamos programados para estar en New Harmony para una convocación de sacerdotes. Ese evento tuvo que ser suspendido debido a la enfermedad de nuestro presentador programado. El Obispo Siegel sugirió que nos tomemos los días programados y nos alejemos de la parroquia para orar y renovarnos. P.
Martin y yo estaremos fuera el martes, miércoles y jueves. No habrá misa aquí en el Santo Rosario en esos días. Por favor, manténganos a los dos en sus oraciones mientras hacemos un pequeño retiro.
Felicitamos a Juanita Garza, Karen Helmerich y Bob Moffett; miembros recién elegidos al Consejo Pastoral Parroquial del Santo Rosario. Muchas gracias a Don Mosbey y Brad Raben por sus años de servicio en el liderazgo parroquial. Gracias también a Lloyd Young por su disposición a presentarse a las elecciones.
Si aún no lo ha hecho, le agradeceríamos mucho que devolviera su tarjeta de compromiso de la Campaña de Parroquias Católicas lo antes posible.
Muchas gracias por su continuo apoyo y generosidad.
La paz de Cristo, P. Bernie
A Stewardship Prayer for October
My Lord Jesus, As the rains hide the stars, as the autumn mist hides the hills, as the clouds veil the blue of the skies, so the dark happenings of the world hide the shining of your face from me. Yet, if I may hold your hand in the darkness, it is enough, since I know that, as the steward of your grace, though I may stumble on this journey of mine, you will not let me fall. Amen.
(Inspired by a Celtic prayer)

JOB OPENINGS
Stewardship and the Family
and prioritized. That meal should be a social occasion, not the time to check if Bobby passed his science test or scold Suzy because she wouldn’t get out of bed that morning. It is a time for pleasant conversation, no electronic devices permitted. And don’t worry if it’s not roast beef–pizza out of a box and a salad can be just as fun.
Then, create a plan to work on family prayer time.
Besides going to Sunday Mass together, how about a time in the evening when everyone stops what they’re doing and gathers for just a few moments before bedtime for prayer?
Perhaps use commute times–the trip to the soccer field or the morning drive to school–to share a brief and heartfelt prayer with your children.
Do your children see you pray with Scripture? Let children see you make prayer a priority. Saint John Paul II stressed the importance of prayer as a family. “Prayer makes the Son of God present among us,” he wrote.
What else might you do to elevate the sacredness of your own domestic Church? Do your children see you honor special time with your spouse? Do you make quality time with each child individually? Do you listen to them when they speak, or are you checking your cell phone texts as they talk? Communicate the idea that family comes first and they will catch on.
As a steward of your family, prioritize your own sense of family stewardship. If our children grow up with the idea that “church” is indelibly linked to “family,” their faith will grow stronger.
We refer to the family as the “domestic Church.” It is a phrase the Second Vatican Council brought forth from the writings of the early Church fathers and describes family life as the center of Catholic spirituality and faith. Those of us who live in a modern family, though, can attest to the incredible challenges of creating a family life that fully lives up to that image of “domestic Church” especially in the autumn of each year.
Even during these still uncertain times, busy schedules have emerged to become routine again. Family members feel as though they live as ships passing in the night. Job demands, class schedules, school events, parish activities, business trips, commute times, sports–the list goes on.
Experts tell us the family dinner, a nightly event years ago, is an increasingly rare occurrence, and even when families are together under one roof, smart phones, televisions and every imaginable screen demanding their attention keep them isolated from each other in the same house, even the same room.
What can we do to make sacred the “domestic Church”
within our homes? What can we do to exercise better stewardship of our families?
How about starting with the family meal? Schedule a breakfast or brunch on Sunday after Mass. The table celebration could include everyone’s favorite food. Make it a family event from beginning through clean-up.
Keep a large, visible calendar on which everyone’s schedule is noted, so that a family dinner can be planned

October is Respect for Life Month
October 10 Is World Day Against the Death Penalty
Rooted in scripture and the rich tradition of our faith, Catholic Social teaching brings the teachings of Jesus and his call to discipleship to the forefront.
“Regarding the death penalty, the first and foremost aspect of the Church’s teaching is the belief in the inherent dignity of the human person as created in the image and likeness of God. Our Catechism states that this dignity ‘is not lost even after the commission of very serious crimes.’ As such, the death penalty is ‘inadmissible because it is an attack on the inviolability and dignity of the person’ (Catholic Catechism 2267).”
Let us pray for all victims of crime and members of their families; for the victims of capital punishment and their families; for those who participate in executions and who carry them out in our name; for those in our cities and town who are caught in a web of violence. Let us pray for the grace to live with non-violent hearts in all our interactions

Stewardship Food for Thought Twenty-eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time Weekend of October 9/10, 2021 Jesus offers a hard lesson regarding wealth and possessions in today’s Gospel. The rich man whom he encountered could not part with his possessions as a condition to becoming a disciple of Jesus. Would our response be the same as the rich man? Do we place our trust in our money and possessions instead of trusting in God’s generosity? Do we seek security in our possessions? Good stewards realize that their possessions must not possess them, lest those possessions block their relationship with the Lord.
