THE WORD OF GOD THIS SUNDAY: For this Sunday, the Twenty-ninth in Ordinary Time, the Scriptural read-ings begin with a passage from the Book of the Prophet Isaiah where God employs Cyrus as an instrument. In the second reading, from the Letter of Saint Paul to the Thessalonians, Saint Paul speaks of his gratitude to God. In the Gospel, Jesus speaks of the census tax owed to Caesar.
BAKE SALE TO AID A PARISH IN PUERTO RICO: Some Saint Kilian parishioners with the assistance of their daughter’s eighth grade classmates will sponsor a bake sale this Sunday after the 10:00 a.m. Mass. The parishioners have family ties to a parish in Puerto Rico and wanted to do something to assist the parishioners trying to rebuild (Parroquia Nuestra Señora de Belen in Guaynabo, Puerto Rico). If you would like to donate baked goods, please drop them off in the church the day of the sale.
FRANK MANDL IN THE CWNC HALL OF FAME: Last Sunday, parishioner Frank Mandl was inducted into Cardinal Wuerl North Catholic’s Hall of Fame. We congratulate “Uncle Frank” and are very proud of him and grateful for all that he does for Saint Kilian Parish.
TALK ON DIVINE MERCY: In Saint Kilian Church, following the 5:00 p.m. Sunday evening Mass on October 29th, a presentation will be given by the Sisters of the Merciful Jesus. This congregation was founded by Saint Faustina’s spiritual director, Blessed Michael Sopocko. Please join us for a witness of mercy, time for prayer in adoration, worship and an opportunity for confession.
The Saint Kilian Religious Education program needs 2 good volunteers! One volunteer is needed on Sundays from 10:00 am until noon, and a second is
needed on Monday evenings from 6:00-8:00 pm when-ever CCD is in session. Need service hours? This is a great way to get them! Considering teaching or substitut-ing in the future for our program? This is a good way to see what goes on each week. Duties will mostly consist of assisting at the front desk. Volunteers must be adults or high school juniors or seniors. Please con-tact Mary French if you are interested, by email at [email protected] or 724-625-1665 x2122.
KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS SOUP-TO-GO THANK YOU: Thanks to all the parishioners that purchased soup last weekend even with the summer like temperatures!! Our next soup
weekend is scheduled for November 11-12. Proceeds benefit Knights of Columbus charities. FELLOWSHIP DINNER 2018 CALENDAR: We are starting to construct the Fellowship Dinner Calendar for 2018. Those who sponsored a dinner in 2017 will re-ceive an e-mail inviting your 2018 participation. Families, businesses, restaurants, and community and parish groups who did not sponsor a dinner in 2017 and would like to sponsor a dinner in 2018 can contact Rob for in-formation: [email protected]. ST. VINCENT DE PAUL SOCIETY: In the Gospel today, Jesus says: “Repay to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to God.” When God is the center of our lives there is no problem with giving others their due. Through your gift to the Society of St. Vincent de Paul you are helping your neighbor who is hungry, hopeless and frightened to know that they belong to God. If you know of a family in need, please contact the parish office at 724-625-1665 x2108. CARING QUILT MINISTRY: The Caring Quilt Ministry will be meeting on Saturday, October 28! Please stop in to see our operation! We have fun, work hard and share a great lunch. If you like to do adult coloring, this is the ministry for you! No sewing or quilting required, just col-or inside the lines! Questions, please contact Betsy Pfendler at [email protected] or 724-766-7435. Quilts are always available and the Parish Center.

MUSIC MINISTRY
Every liturgy ends with some sort of mission – we are sent to love and serve the Lord in each other. These are not just ritual words at the end of Mass to which we more or less consciously respond, “thanks be to God.” Our “thanks be to God” is more than words – it requires us to give thanks to God for all God has giv-en us by taking care of others and creation as God’s gifts to us. And so, our hymn at the time of Sending Forth is one that is meant to reflect this mission. We are to go and live the transformation of liturgy and the deepening of God’s presence within. When we sing hymns like Go To The World, Holy God, We Praise Thy Name, Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow, The Spirit Sends Us Forth, God Whose Pur-pose Is To Kindle, and so many more – reflect on the texts of those hymns. Ask yourself, have I felt the transformational grace received at the Eucharist? Do I thank God for these gifts? Do I go out to the world to proclaim the Good News?

CVOL PARENT MEETING: The Catholic Vision of Love (CVOL) is the Diocesan mandated program that is taught to all 5th-8th graders.

It is in-tended for those beginning the program (5th grade par-ents) but all parents of 5th-8th graders are welcome. Please, no children for this meeting.

5th-8th Grade
Called by Name – At Baptism we are given a name by which we are known not only to our family and friends, but also to God. Like Cyrus in today’s first reading, throughout our lives God calls us by name
as he asks us to follow him and to be his instrument in the world. As God calls us by our name and we call out to him as Abba (Father) we recognize how intimately God loves us. It also reveals that we are all sisters and broth-ers in the family of faith and heirs to the kingdom of God. On Mission for The Church Alive! is our opportunity to build up and strengthen the family of faith in the Diocese of Pittsburgh as we look for ways to extend our hearts to each other as God extends his heart to us. Of course, family relationships aren’t always perfect and can take hard work to grow stronger. We will have to work hard to strengthen the family of faith in our parishes, but it will be worth it as we journey together towards God’s kingdom. Get to know those who sit near you at Mass, who gather in fellowship after Mass or even people from churches near you and allow your heart to expand in love. Visit onmissionchurchalive.org to learn more and to stay informed.
