Gospel Today: Luke 17: 11:11-19
Jesus heals all 10 lepers. However, only one returned
to thank Jesus, and he is a Samaritan. All 10 of the
lepers were given the gift of healing, but in his
gratitude to God for this gift, the Samaritan found
salvation. Our salvation is found in recognizing the
gifts we have been given and knowing to whom we
must offer our thanks.

Fr.Martin’s Holiday Nov 6 to Dec 6, 2019 I have not been back
home for quite sometime. After 2 of my brothers passed away in succession recently, my
remaining 5 older siblings give me some pressure saying, “visit and see us while we are still
alive.” I feel I need a break and reconnect with them and with my other relatives in
Philippines. Please pray for my safe travel as I always remember you in my prayers. Note
that only one weekend Mass is celebrated in the parish during these 4 weeks that I am away
and it will all be held in St. John the Baptist Church, Port Severn at 9am. Thanks to Fr. Bill
Swift of Waubashene and Jesuit Fathers of Martyrs’ Shrine Midland for covering me.
Nov 10 Sunday 9am – Fr. Bill Swift
Nov 17 Sunday 9am– Martyrs’ Shrine priest
Nov 24 Sunday 9am - Martyrs’ Shrine priest
Dec 1 Sunday 9am - Martyrs’ Shrine priest
After December 1st, weekend Masses will resume as winter schedule until April 30, 2020
which is: 9am Port Severn and 11am Honey Harbour.
Summer Parishioners – While we bid goodbye to you, our dear summer parishioners,
we’d like you to know that your being with us and your gesture of generosity to our parish
during this summer has not gone unnoticed. We express our deepest thanks for the spiritual and
financial support you have made towards our parish to keep it going. Again, thank you for
your kind support and for your loyalty to Our Lady of Mercy/St. John the Baptist parish. We wish
you and your family safe, and we are looking forward to seeing you in the spring. God bless.
Pre-authorized Payment Plan – A number of parishioners have already
signed up and find this service very convenient especially meeting their personal needs of
budgeting when receiving a monthly income. Those who signified to avail of this service,
kindly do it now so that I can set it up with the chancery office before I leave for my holiday.
Why Do You And The Parish Benefit It? 1) This allows easier and more accurate budgeting and
planning for parish expenses. 2) This reduces the number of envelopes printed hence less
expense. 3) This guarantees a monthly sufficient revenue to minister the parish. 4)There is a
reduced security risk as less cash is handled on the premises. 5) The privacy of donors is
protected as money counters are not handling your envelope. 6) You may make regular
donations for the other diocesan collections as well. 7) Parishioners who go south for the
winter can continue their support of the home parish. 8) Parishioners who come for the
summer can support the parish year-round. Printed sign-up forms are available at the church
entrance. After filling up the form, return it back and we will do the rest.
Bingo-The bingo committee would like to take the opportunity to thank all who participated in making
our first year of bingo a wonderful success by volunteering and/or playing. We truly exceeded
our expectations with the fun and comradery this community event provided and the money we
were able to raise to help meet the needs of the church. The profit, after expenses and start up
costs, is $6,598.25. We look forward to our second season which will start May. See you there!
Voting as Catholics 2019 Federal Elections (by Canadian Conference
of Catholic Bishops) Voting is a Right and Responsibility. Canadian Catholics are being called
upon as citizens to exercise their right to vote. The Church encourages and reasserts its belief in
“the political freedom and responsibility of citizens.” By exercising their right to vote, citizens
fulfill their duty of choosing a government and at the same time send a clear signal to the
candidates being presented by their political parties for election.
Knights of Columbus – On Sunday Oct 20, some KC officers from different places will
be in our parish to do membership drive. We need more to sign up to complete the minimum of
20 members to form a Council in our parish. If you consider signing up to be a member, call Ray
Bergie for more information @ home tel #7052429653, cp #4169311232.
“In everything, give thanks, for this is
God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” On this
day we are thankful to God for our
common home earth, for our country, for
the harvests, for the gift of life, for the
family we love, and for all the blessings we
cherish. Thank you, Lord.
