Pastoral Sharing
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Greetings of Peace.
The readings for today speak about prayer. The gospel reading says that even an unjust judge will give up and give in to a persistent widow demanding her rights. The reading from the Book of Exodus says that persistent prayer is efficacious.
Sometimes we trust our own abilities first or put our trust in the abilities of others, and then when we feel that these abilities are lacking we begin to pray. God knows us and cares about us and loves us, even if we have not reciprocated with the same continual love of God.
The second point of the passage is that God hears our prayers. We need to pray continually. If we are convinced that God loves us then we must be convinced that he is hearing us. A good God will answer our prayers and make the best of even a terrible situation.
“Therefore I tell you, all that you ask for in prayer, believe that you will receive it and it shall be yours.” Mark 11:24
God Bless you.
Fr. Mariadas J. Lipton
MISSION COMBINED COLLECTION
THIS WEEKEND!
The Mission Combined Collection THIS WEEKEND SUPPORTS MISSIONARY WORKS IN Latin America, Asia, Africa and parts of the United States.
By Baptism, all Catholics are called to participate in the mission of the Church, and called to share their faith as missionaries. Today our missionaries are facing incredible odds as they labor in places like war-torn Sudan and other parts of Africa where drought and the AIDS epidemic are causing enormous human misery. They need and rely on our support, through prayer above all, but also through our financial gifts.
Thank you for your generosity in the past and thank you for what you will do now to help our missionaries continue their vital work. When we support them we join them, and in this way, we too are missionaries for Christ.
Crusade of Prayer for Vocations: Pray for Vocations to the Priesthood and Religious Life every day.
Choir Rehearsal - Thursday, October 25, 2007 at 6:30 p.m. New Members are welcome. If interested, call Celeste Milukas at 447-0277.

Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!
Father Lipton wishes to say thank you to the Ladies Guild who sponsored the beautiful Christmas Fair/Bazaar/Tag Sale on Saturday and for all the work that was done to bring about this wonderful event. For weeks the Ladies Guild committees have been working hard sorting, preparing, arranging, and placing the articles that were dropped off for the white elephant table. In addition, others were working to purchase the ingredients for the food, which was baked, served, and sold, especially the cinnamon bread and babka. Thank you to those who prepared food for the bake table, those who worked to prepare the lunch and serve it. Thank you to so many who worked so hard. All the preparation and the advance work took so much time and much “very hard” work. Thank you to all who did this. Thank you to those who came and to those who supported the fair. Thank you to those who restored the hall to its pre-bazaar state. We are all grateful for this effort, which means so much to us as a parish family.
May God reward your generous spirit!
Stewardship Month!
November is Stewardship Month in OLPH. Each November, every parishioner is asked to review his/her weekly contribution made to God in OLPH Parish. This is a most important time. Our budget is tight. We need to give to God what the work of God needs to be carried out here in OLPH. Our future depends on it.
