In Thanksgiving for Marty and Wanda Gibson’s 25th Wedding Anniversary In Jesus’ parable of the Unjust Steward, we encounter a financial manager who has wasted his master’s wealth and faces dismissal from his position. To overcome the crisis confronting him, the steward reduces some very considerable debts owed by poor neighbors to his master in order to help them out. Though the steward has sinned against God and his master by squandering what belongs to someone else, both the prudent way in which he goes about resolving the crisis coupled with relieving people who are in need can be seen as a way to better steward the gifts entrusted to us by God. Although good stewards today acknowledge that they may never use their God-given gifts in a way that completely conforms to the demands of the Gospel, a commitment to using their gifts with prudence and for the purpose of helping their neighbors wins God’s favor.

The Altar Flowers are provided… In Thanksgiving for Diana & John Pier’s 35th Wedding Anniversary ...by Diana Pier TWENTY-FIFTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME Saint Vincent’s Corner In today’s Gospel, we see that prudent decisiveness means that we recognize that all our choices in daily living are really choices for eternal life. Admission into heaven is something money cannot buy. The only currency that has any value to secure our entrance is that of love. As you place your gift in the Society of St. Vincent de Paul collection basket or food box, know that you are a sign of God’s love to those who are suffering. The Pro-Life Place Actively promoting a renewed respect for human life is the responsibility of every Catholic. The parish pro-life committee assists in a special way by helping to make the parish a center of life, a place where parishioners understand the issues and the importance of meeting the needs of those who are most vulnerable. Discipleship demands that all Catholics work with others to build a civic society, aligned with Catholic Social Teaching, in which all people are able to reach their fullest calling in both personal and community life. In the Catholic tradition, responsible citizenship is a virtue; participation in the political process is a moral obligation. Faithful Citizenship is about more than elections. It requires ongoing participation in the continuing political and legislative process. Your first step is to register to vote.

Unity Rosary—October 19 CATHOLIC SOCIAL TEACHING The key to this Sunday’s readings, is the final line of the Gospel. “You cannot serve both God and mammon.” Again this week, Jesus asks us about where our heart, our energy and our devotion lie. Are we committed to God or to the things of this world? Are we aware of the needs of the poor or do we trample them with our inattention? The Lord urges us to be wise and clever so we can serve him in serving those in need. Welcome USA, Mexico, Columbia, India, Brazil, Puerto Rico, and your native country to the Unity Rosary!

The Saint William Conference of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul celebrated the memory of Maria Aguilar with the completion of the Fifth Annual Friends of the Poor Walk on Saturday, September 14. Maria was a Vincentian for 11 years, and served the families who received assistance from the St. Vincent de Paul food pantry. She had participated in the walk every year, even last year just prior to her failing health. Maria's son, Ventura Aguilar and his family, were honored guests and participated in this year’s walk-a-thon. Fr. Dean Wilhelm, along with 91 adults and 45 children, participated in the event as they walked around the campus of Saint William Parish. The purpose of the walk was to raise money to re-stock "Maria's pantry". A total of $5,106 was collected by the 136 walkers. Money raised through this event will help to restock St. Vincent de Paul pantry shelves which had been running low during the summer months. Send us your pictures… Pictures top to bottom: 1.
