6HSWHPEHU )U-LP¶V-RXUQDO)U-DPHV0F1XOW\ THIS WEEK I AM PUBLISHING THE SECOND HALF OF THE GOALS AND OBJECTIVES FOR ST. EDITH PARISH FOR THE NEW FISCAL YEAR. All of the Councils and Commissions will begin meeting again this month. It is important that all of these groups review these goals and objectives at your first meeting and have some discussion of how your group plans to contribute to meeting these goals. I also want to share them with the Parish as a whole so that we are all on the same page. I am looking forward to a very blessed year. PARISH GOALS AND OBJECTIVES AS ESTABLISHED BY THE PASTORAL COUNCIL FISCAL YEAR 2016/2017 GOAL II To establish an evangelizing parish at St. Edith through faithbased programs to renew the participation of inactive members, reaffirm the faith of active parishioners and invite new people into a welcoming environment for all. OBJECTIVE 1: The St. Edith School Marketing Committee, a subCommittee of the School Committee, will focus on increasing the enrollment in St. Edith School by reaching out to students who are not currently attending a Catholic School. Membership will include the school principal and at least one member of the School Committee. They will consider the use of the internet and social media, and will collaborate with the St. Edith Parish Marketing Committee when appropriate. OBJECTIVE 2: Expand the St. Edith Parish Marketing Committee, as a sub-Committee of Parish Pastoral Council. Membership will include one staff person and at least one member of the Parish Pastoral Council. They will consider the use of the internet and social media and will collaborate with the St. Edith School Marketing Committee when appropriate. OBJECTIVE 3: The Parish Marketing Committee will consider the following: setting up parishioner profiles to ensure that people get the information that will likely be of interest to them; setting up an email template to be used in distributing weekly announcements in a format that will include graphics as well as clear information about programs, activities and events; sending quarterly post cards to registered parishioners regarding upcoming events. OBJECTIVE 1: Increase Mass attendance. OBJECTIVE 2: Evangelization is a personal process of reaching out to others and should not be confused with marketing. With that in mind, the Evangelization Commission will be reorganized to expand membership (10-12 individuals) and include people who are willing to make specific plans and participate in making these personal contacts. The Commission will begin by reaching out to welcome new parishioners and registered parishioners who are currently not active. Personal hand written notes could be one way to effectively make a personal contact. This will be referred to the Evangelization Commission. Love and Peace, Fr.

The topic will be Acts: The Spread of the Kingdom. It builds on the study just completed; the Gospel of Matthew. But this is not just your ordinary Bible Study. Take it from one of the participants. "Eye Opening!, I've taken a couple of classes on reading the bible. I always get something out of it, using the workbook and discussing it is my favorite part. My favorite class so far has been the study of the Gospel of Matthew, but I really look forward to the next study on the Acts of the Apostles. My soul is soaking up the word and I want more.

Catechetical Sunday, "Prayer: The Faith Prayed." Catechetical Sunday is observed in the Church on the third Sunday in September and is a celebration of catechists and all teachers of the Catholic faith. Each year has a theme. The theme this year is "Prayer: The Faith Prayed." This weekend, at the 11 am Mass we have a special prayer and blessing for these individuals. We celebrate these men and woman because of their willingness to come forward and for the openness to share their faith. Typically, we think about our Catechists being those sharing about their faith and teaching about it to our young people, but being a Catechist is not just about ministering to children and teens. Catechists lead the RCIA (our Becoming Catholic process), facilitate Bible Studies, Marriage & Baptism preparation, Alpha and more. The word “catechist” has its roots in a Greek word that means “to sound” or to echo (like whales and dolphins). The Catechist teaches by word of mouth through dialog and a sharing of their faith. It is this sharing of the faith from our heart that distinguishes it from the role of being strictly teacher. The teachings of the Church take root and are understood best when our faith lives in our heart in a relationship with Jesus first and foremost. It is not strictly content oriented, but is a handing over of the faith one person to another, one generation to another from one’s heart. The Church term, "Domestic Church" refers to our homes and is where the faith is lived, understood and embraced the most. It is in the home where the seeds of faith are best sown and nurtured. That is why parents are referred to as the "Primary Catechist" for their children. Catechetical Sunday is a day to bring focus on the role each person and family has, by virtue of Baptism, in handing on the faith and being a witness to the Gospel. But it is also a day we set aside to thank our Catechists for coming forward. $%,*7+$1.6 WRDOORIRXU&DWHFKLVWV A New Dawn for Widows and Widowers Companionship for those who have lost a spouse To pray, meet, laugh, and have a meal together Call Ann Lenehan, 734/495-0441 9/21 Wednesday Meeting/Social Hall; 6:00pm; Dinner to be determined;.9/28 Wednesday Dinner/Rocky’s Restaurant; 7 Mile Rd. west of Haggerty Rd.; Call Millie, 734/ 420-3468.

Legalizing euthanasia and/or assisted suicide gives medical professionals the right in law to directly and intentionally cause the death of their patients. It is never safe or ethical to enable one group of people to cause the death of another group of people. Society needs to focus on how it cares for its citizens, not how it may kill its citizens. Think that this only effects the very elderly? Consider that every person is only “Temporarily Able-Bodied”; an accident, a stroke, blood clot, heart attack or other medical issues can change how you manage your life. Know your rights. Have a plan. Reserve your seat for LIFESPAN’s ProLife LUNCHEON. Saturday, October 22nd. Registration at 10:30 am; Program at 11:00 am.

The event will be held in our Parish Hall on: Saturday, October 22, 2016 from 9:00am to 11:00am This event is spearheaded by the Livonia Community Service Organization (LCSO) FORUM members. The goal this year is to pack 30,000+ meals which will be evenly distributed between our local “Livonia Cares” group, United States Disaster Relief and global undernourished children. The LCSO FORUM partners with Kids Against Hunger, a non-profit humanitarian food aid organization, and St. Edith Parish to accomplish this task. We have been very successful the past two years and I am sure we will be just as successful this year as well. Registration to sign up for this event must be done online. You may register here: https:// www.eventbrite.com/e/lcso-kids-againsthunger-meal-packing-event-tickets26766151279 Of course, events like this need donations as well as volunteers ($8400 is needed to cover the cost of food and supplies).

Toni Sheffield – Christian Service Office – 734464-1222 Ext 309 tsheffield@stedith.org Dear Parishioners of St. Edith, For the past couple months, we have had the pleasure of listening to some very talented youth of our parish. They have shared their musical talents with us. This reminds us of the importance of sharing every gift God has given us in any way we can. The music programs offered at St. Edith give us opportunities as members of the Body of Christ to extend ourselves and share our talents to make our worship the greatest it can be. Please consider joining our music ensemble, in praise, adult choir, handbell choir, children's choir, lifeteen band, young adult, or resurrection choir. For more information please contact Heather Shina at (734) 464-1222 ext. 314 or hshina@stedith.org. Descriptions of these various ministries are also listed on our parish website at www.stedith.org. Thank you and God Bless. &DOOLQJ$OO6W(GLWK $OXPQL :H ZDQW WR FRQQHFW ZLWK \RX (PDLO $OXPQL#6W(GLWKRUJ WR EH DGGHGWRRXUFRPPXQLFDWLRQOLVW$QG GRQ W ZRUU\ ZH ZRQ W ERPEDUG \RXU LQER[ <RX FDQ DOVR OLNH XV RQ )DFHERRN6W(GLWK&DWKROLF6FKRRO $OXPQL 5HWUHDWIRU:RPHQ )LUVW&DOO 7KLV LV WKH ),567 &$// IRU WKH ZRPHQRIWKHSDULVKWRPDNHWKHDQ QXDO UHWUHDW DW 6DLQW 3DXO¶V 5HWUHDW &HQWHURQWKHZHHNHQGRI2FWREHU 2FWREHU 7KH UHWUHDW WKHPH WKLV \HDU LV ³$ELGH LQ 0H &KRRVLQJ WR /LYH )DLWKIXOO\ LQ DQ (UD RI &KDRV´ 'RQ¶W PLVV RXW RQ WKLV ZRQGHUIXO H[ SHULHQFH RI VSLULWXDO DQG SK\VLFDO UH QHZDO&DOO3ULVFLOOD5XVKWRQDW WR PDNH D UHVHUYDWLRQ RU FDOO WKH 5HWUHDW &HQWHU DW <RX PD\ DOVR UHJLVWHU RQOLQH DW VWSDXOUHWUHDWRUJ 3OHDVH NQRZ WKDW LI \RX DUH XQDEOH WR WKLV ZHHN HQG\RXDUHZHOFRPHWRDWWHQGRQH WKDWLVPRUHFRQYHQLHQW 6W(GLWK3DULVK SDJH SDJH 0(5&<,1$&7,21 '$< 7KDQN \RX IRU WKH RYHUZKHOP LQJ VXSSRUW RI RXU ILUVW HYHU 0HUF\ ,Q $FWLRQ 'D\ ZKLFK ZLOO EH KHOG RQ 6DWXUGD\ ±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³UHJXODU´ VLQJOH EHG VL]H VHWV QRW H[WUDORQJ DV DUH RIWHQ DYDLODEOH DW WKLV WLPH RI \HDU IRU 9LVWD 0DULD LQ 'HDUERUQ +HLJKWV <RX PD\ GURS RII \RXU WRZHOVRUVKHHWVWRWKH3DULVK+DOO EHWZHHQ WKH KRXUV RI DP DQG SP RQ 6DWXUGD\ 2FWR EHUVW ,I \RX DUHQ¶W D VKRSSHU DQG ZRXOGOLNHWRPDNHDFDVKGRQDWLRQ IRU XV WR JR RXW DQG SXUFKDVH WKH WRZHOV RU VKHHWV \RX PD\ HLWKHU GURSWKHPRQH\RIIWRPHLQ&KULV WLDQ 6HUYLFH DQ\WLPH EHIRUH 2FWR EHUVWRURQ0HUF\,Q$FWLRQ'D\ LWVHOI ,I \RX DUH GURSSLQJ RII RQ 2FWREHU VW SOHDVH PDNH VXUH LW LV FDVKDQGQRWDFKHFNZHZLOOVHQG RXW 9ROXQWHHUV WR SXUFKDVH WRZHOV DQG VKHHW VHWV RQ WKDW GD\ ZLWK ZKDWHYHUFDVKZHUHFHLYH ,I \RX KDYH DQ\ TXHVWLRQV SOHDVH GRQ¶W KHVLWDWH WR FDOO RU HPDLOPHDQGDJDLQWKDQN\RXIRU ZKDW , NQRZ ZLOO EH DQRWKHU YHU\ VXFFHVVIXO2XWUHDFKSURMHFW7KH JHQHURVLW\ RI WKH JRRG SHRSOH RI 6W(GLWK3DULVKLVVHFRQGWRQRQH 7RQL 6KHIILHOG ± &KULVWLDQ 6HU YLFH&RRUGLQDWRU ± ([WRUWVKHIILHOG#VWHGLWKRUJ 6W(GLWK3DULVK 6W(GLWK3DULVK3LFQLF5DIIOH'RQRUV 1 Under Bar & Grill Adventure Park @ Frankenmuth Applebee’s — Haggerty Applebee’s — Middlebelt Auto Lab B & R Janitorial Supply Belfor Restoration Big Boy Bottles & Stuff Brass Mug Liquor Bravo Bright Side Dental Buffalo Wild Wings Busch’s Fresh Food Market Bushwood Golf Course Catholic Vantage Credit Union Century Car Wash Champps Cintas City of Livonia, Golf Division Claddaugh Irish Pub Coaches Corner Costco—Haggerty Road Costco—Middlebelt Road CVS CYO Dave & Busters Dr. Shaw Dr. Mario Tomei Evan Michaels Salon Family & Friends Funland Fashion Cleaners Fit Zone for Women Fitness 19 Fred Wood Funeral Home French’s Flowers Furs-A-Flying George Murphy George’s Senate Coney Island Glenda’s Farm Market Glenhurst Golf Course Great Lakes Ace Hardware Guernsey Dairy Han-D-Dip Dairy Barn Healthquest of Livonia Holbrook Roofing Home Depot Hunt’s Ace Hardware Jets Pizza Jimmy John’s Joe’s Produce Kmart Kohl’s—Seven Mile Kohl’s—Haggerty Kohl’s — Westland Kroger — Five Mile Kroger — Eight Mile Kroger — Five & Merriman Leo’s Coney Island Livonia Mobil Meijer — Northville MerriBowl Mod Pizza Mr. Green Mrs. Fields New-5 Auto Parts Oasis Golf Center Obregon Family Dentistry O’Brien Sullivan Funeral Home O’Malley’s O’Reilly Auto Parts Papa Vino Phoenix Movie Theater Potbelly Pro Sports Rocky’s Roger & Rod’s Hair Salon Rusty Bucket Schoolbelles Senate Coney Island Sheehan’s on the Green Sheesh Spartan Paving St. Edith Choir Stan’s Market Suburban Chrysler — Farmington Hills Teacher’s Store The Dog’s Bow Wow Thomas’s Dining Time to Savor Tiny Town Play Lounge Tipping Point Theater Tom Holzer Turowski Funeral Home Valentino Pizza Villa Marie Walgreens Will Funeral Home Wireless Guru Xpert Building Services 6W(GLWK3DULVK3LFQLF5DIIOH:LQQHUV Basket A: Basket B: Basket C: Basket D: Basket E: Basket F: Basket G: Basket H: Basket I: Basket J: Basket K: Basket L: Basket M: Susan B B.
