‘PRAYER TO THE
APOSTLE PAUL
Glorious St. Paul,
Most zealous Apostle,
Martyr for the love of Christ,
Give us a deep faith,
A steadfast hope,
A burning love for our Lord;
So that we can proclaim with you,
“It is no longer I who live,
But Christ who lives in me.”
Help us to become apostles
Serving the Church with a pure heart,
Witnesses to her truth and beauty
Amidst the darkness of our days.
With you we praise God our Father:
“To Him be the glory, in the Church
and in Christ, now and forever.”
Amen.

The Catholic Women’s Conference will be held
at St. Gertrude Church on Saturday, October 4,
2008. The conference is dedicated to Our Lady of
the Rosary and will feature Fr. Wade Menezes,
CPM and Tim Staples.
Fr. Wade Menezes, CPM is the Director of
Vocations and Director of Seminarians for the
Fathers of Mercy. He has contributed articles to
many Catholic newspapers and periodicals. He
has been a guest on several episodes of “Mother
Angelica Live” and has hosted three televised
series for EWTN.
Tim Staples left his Baptist faith during his early
teen years. He came back to faith in Christ in his
late teens through Christian television and some
friends in the Assemblies of God. While in the
Marines, Tim met a Marine who really knew his
faith and challenged Tim to study Catholicism
from Catholic and historical sources. Tim ended
up studying his way to the last place he thought he
would ever end up… the Catholic Church. Tim
converted to Catholicism in 1988 and has been
working in Catholic Apologetics and
Evangelization since 1994.
