MESSAGE FROM THE RECTOR
I n Canada, we celebrate Thanksgiving day this
year on Monday, October 8th. Most people
plan get-togethers on this week-end with family
and friends. It is important to thank people who
care for us, assist us and support us. Speaking
words of gratitude to each other and showing it
by our actions deepens and strengthens our
relationships.
On the spiritual level, being grateful and
thankful to God is very important.
Psalm 92 says “It is good to give thanks to the
Lord, always and for everything.” St. Vincent de
Paul often said “The grateful heart doesn’t want
for anything because you cannot be both grateful
and unhappy at the same time.”
On this Thanksgiving weekend, let us
rightly give thanks to God for the blessings He
gives us: family, material goods, our Catholic faith
and parish, health, our citizenship, the
forgiveness of sins and other graces from God.
The Eucharist is the greatest prayer of
thanksgiving – we give thanks to the Lord at Mass
for all He has done for us especially His saving
death and resurrection.
May we also resolve to be even more
committed to show our gratitude to God by
sharing our blessings with other people. The
2018 Project Advance appeal is an excellent way
for us as members of the Archdiocese to share
God’s gifts to us with others who have real needs.
Our Cathedral parish benefits as well through the
rebate program which returns offerings to Holy
Rosary once our share of the Archdiocesan
program is covered.
If you have participated already this year
in the Project Advance appeal – thank you! If you
have not so far, we plan to send you a letter soon
inviting you to make a sacrificial offering to
Solemnity of the Holy Rosary
Project Advance. When you receive it please
prayerfully consider your participation.
Wishing you and your family a blessed
Thanksgiving weekend ...
Fr. Galvon
A THANKSGIVING DAY PRAYER
F ather in Heaven, Creator of all and source of all goodness and love, please look kindly
upon us and receive our heartfelt gratitude in
this time of giving thanks.
Thank you for all the graces and blessings. You
have bestowed upon us, spiritual and temporal:
our faith and religious heritage. Our food and
shelter, our health, the loves we have for one
another, our family and friends.
Dear Father, in Your infinite generosity, please
grant us continued graces and blessings
throughout the coming year.
This we ask in the Name of Our Lord Jesus Christ
who lives and reigns with you forever and ever.
The Holy
Eucharist is the
supreme
way in which we
thank God for
all His many
blessings.
R. Amen

Solemnity of the Holy Rosary Mass Readings
First Reading Acts of the Apostles 1, 12 - 14 They devoted themselves with one accord to prayer.
Responsorial Psalm 19 R. The Almighty has done great things for me and holy is his Name.
Second Reading Luke 1, 46 - 55 Through the obedience of one the many will be made righteous.
Gospel Luke 1, 26 - 38 Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with you!
Mass Reflection
T his first Sunday of October offers us two reasons for
prayer and reflection: the Memorial of Our Lady of
the Rosary, which is celebrated precisely today, and
missionary commitment, to which this month is
especially dedicated. The traditional image of Our Lady
of the Rosary portrays Mary who with one arm supports
the Child Jesus and with the other is offering the rosary
beads to St Dominic. This important iconography shows
that the Rosary is a means given by the Virgin to
contemplate Jesus and, in meditating on his life, to love
him and follow him ever more faithfully.
It is this message that Our Lady has also bequeathed to
us in her various apparitions. I am thinking in particular
of the apparition in Fatima that occurred 90 years ago.
Presenting herself as "Our Lady of the Rosary", she
insistently recommended the daily recitation of the
Rosary to the three little shepherd children, Lucia,
Jacinta and Francisco, in order to obtain the end of the
war. Let us also accept the Virgin's motherly request,
pledging to recite the Rosary with faith for peace in
families, nations and throughout world.
- Pope Benedict XVI, Vatican Oct. 7, 2008
Rosary Prayer.
G rant, we beseech thee, O Lord God, that we, your
servants, may enjoy perpetual health of mind and
body; and by the intercession of the Blessed Mary, ever
Virgin, may be delivered from present sorrow, and
obtain eternal joy. Through Christ our Lord.
R. Amen.
