Church Mission
St. Roch Parish (St. Roch Church and St. Joachim Mission Church) will engage in a life-long journey in
prayer and a relationship with the Lord by living our Catholic faith and transforming ourselves and others
spiritually for generations to come. We will create an open, hospitable and welcoming community that
embraces diversity and celebrates the giftedness of each person.

Church Vision
To be joyful disciples equipped to witness Jesus by living and sharing our faith with all.
 St. Roch Parish Bulletin Page 2
Mission is Service and Sacrifice
Today is World Mission Sunday. The Church invites us to reflect on our
personal response, to Christ’s mission. It is a special day to revitalize our faith
and to rededicate ourselves to Christ’s mission. It is also, a day to show special
solidarity to all true missionaries who have responded to Christ’s
mandate: “Go, make disciples of all nations.”

The theme for the 2022 world mission Sunday is “You shall be my
witnesses” (Acts 1:8). As always, World Mission Sunday reminds us that the
Church is missionary by nature.

Today, Pope Francis tells us, “Dear brothers and sisters, I continue to dream of a completely missionary
Church, and a new era of missionary activity among Christian communities. I repeat Moses’ great desire for
the people of God on their journey: “Would that all the Lord’s people were prophets!” (Num 11:29). Indeed,
would that all of us in the Church were what we already are by virtue of baptism: prophets, witnesses,
missionaries of the Lord, by the power of the Holy Spirit, to the ends of the earth!” (Pope Francis’ message
for World Mission Sunday 2022).

Mission is indeed service, and sacrifice rendered in love for the salvation of all nations. This love comes with
patience and docility to the will of God. It begins by transforming the missionary into a great instrument for
the salvation of others. So, today Christ teaches us that to be great is to be ready to serve and to make
sacrifices for others.

As we celebrate Mission Sunday today, the voice of salvation continues to call us to be more faithful to God’s
mission both in us and in others. It reminds us of the great challenges before us today in God’s mission. This
includes our changing cultures, societies, and lifestyle that must be urgently evangelized and redeemed.

Let us always remain as missionaries to promote our faith and live like another Christ to proclaim God’s love
and grace that we experience in our lives.

Have a blessed week. God bless you.

Trunk or Treat Sunday, October 30 9:00am
The RE Ministry will be sponsoring a Trunk or Treat
event on Sunday, October 30 at 9:00am between
both Mass. RE students should dress in their favorite
costume but is encouraged to dress as their favorite
bible character or Saint.. Please no scary/bloody
costumes. Parishioners and families area asked to
join in the fun and pass candy or other goodies to our
students. If you are attending the 9:30am Mass,
please be ready to pass out candy at 9:00am.
A Stewardship Moment
There is an interesting twist we find
in today’s gospel when we hear Jesus’
parable of the Pharisee and the tax
collector praying in the temple.
The Pharisee is “praying to himself.”
It doesn’t mean he was praying
silently. It seem to mean something
a lot more troubling, that he is praying
to himself; that God is not his
prayer’s intended audience. The words
of the Pharisee are very much centered
on himself: he makes claim about
his character. He highlights his own
admirable activities. Good stewards
of their prayer lives know that a
prayer of praise and thanksgiving
should focus on the goodness of God.
Do your prayers of thanksgiving always
stay focused on God’s unfathomable,
immeasurable goodness and generosity?
