Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ
Our hearts must be in our faith. Jesus explains in our Gospel reading from the gospel of Luke that if we feel we need more faith in our lives, then all we have to do is just ask. As Jesus leads his disciples in such a way as they realize that they can pray for the desire do change their actions, we can ask Jesus to change us and our actions.
October is Respect Life Month with today being Respect for Life Sunday. There will be a ‘Prayer Chain’ to witness against the horrors of abortion on Center Street. Those that are interested are called to meet in Guyot Hall immediately after the noon Mass and then gather on Center Street to stand silently from 1:30 pm to 3:00 pm. If you are not able to be a part of the prayer chain, please pray for those who will be participating for our community.
Next Saturday October 8th from 6:00 – 9:00 pm, will be our annual Oktoberfest Celebrations. Admission is free, there will be a raffle, German Polka music along with food and games for everyone. Come and support our St Hyacinth Knights of Columbus as they lead the parish community in celebration of the fall.
Religious Education classes have already started and Registration is still in progress. To register online for Faith Formation classes, go to: https://sthyacinth.org/faith-formation-registration-form.
Remember as well that when you are registering your child for Religious Education classes you can also sign-up yourself to be a catechist or aide. We need a number of catechists to teach our children, from the littlest ones in the early grades on through middle school and high school. We’ll train you and give you all the support you need. The Faith Formation staff is happy to answer questions and get you involved.
One of the principal goals of 2022 is to increase the number of people that are contributing to the Church through our electronic giving platform. We have over 1000 registered families here at STHY that maybe giving to our parish in the Sunday collection; however, we don’t have a record of them using their envelopes or electronic giving. You can enroll for online giving through https://www.sthyacinth.org/online-giving .
For our 57th parish anniversary, we are collecting funds for a Statue of St. Hyacinth. A four-foot custom-made linden wood and painted statue of St Hyacinth will cost approximately $18K. (The handmade statue would have St. Hyacinth holding a monstrance and a little statue of a Madonna with Child). We have placed a special donation box is in the Narthex as well as a picture of the statue. You can give online at https://sthyacinth.org/statue-of-st-hyacinth as well. Soo far we have collected just over $14,500 toward the statue. Thank you for your generosity.
God Bless
Fr. Reginald Samuels
