Sacred Heart Catholic Church Twenty-eighth Sunday of Ordinary
Time ~ October 11, 2020
Reflection from the Stewardship Office:
Will you accept the invitation?
In today’s readings we find an invitation to a grand event. This
feast
includes only the richest food and the purest wines. The banquet
is
prepared, and a seat has been reserved for you! The question is,
will you
accept the invitation? In the parable, we learn that the people
who were
invited to the feast were too busy to show up. Sadly, this could
be you or I
on any given day! The challenge of these readings is this: slow
down and,
in gratitude, accept the invitation to the banquet of the Lord!
He has so
much joy in store for you, and He wants nothing more than to
share it with
you! Stewardship does not require you to give up all that you
enjoy, but it
does require you to quiet your soul enough to hear and answer
the gentle
invitation of Jesus.

Spiritual Gifts Workshop
Every Christian has a vocation or “mission” in life, a work
of love through which each individual is called to follow
Jesus and for which each individual was created (Ephesian
4:7-16).
Since we’re all on a mission from God, we need the power
of God to be able to accomplish our mission! Spiritual gifts
are tools given to disciples so that they are able to
accomplish their mission and important clues as to what
their mission in life might be. Each baptized person has
been given these gifts for a specific purpose and for the
good of others.
St. Catherine of Siena said, "Be who God meant you to be
and you will set the world on fire!" Christians who act out
of their spiritual gifts report feeling fulfilled and joyful
because they know the mission God has given them.
Want to learn more about your spiritual gifts? Join us
for a “Spiritual Gifts Workshop” Oct 11 at 5:30 p.m. in the
church with Jackie Arnold. *Social distancing will be
practiced. County health guidelines will be followed*
What is “Value Them Both?” VALUE THEM BOTH is the proposed state
constitutional
amendment for life supported by the Catholic Bishops of
Kansas. The amendment is crucial because the Kansas
Supreme Court recently created a nearly unlimited “right”
to abortion, including taxpayer-funded abortion, teens
seeking an abortion without parental knowledge or consent
and late-term abortions. Once passed, the VALUE THEM
BOTH will help protect mothers and their unborn babies by
allowing regulations of the abortion industry. Please pray
for passage of VALUE THEM BOTH.
St. Vincent de Paul Our next meeting will be JANUARY 14TH at
6:00 pm in the cafeteria.
Adoration at Sacred Heart
Adoration will be held in the main part of the church from
3:00 PM-9:00 PM only. Please use the hand sanitizer,
practice social distancing, and clean the area where you
have prayed using the provided disinfectant wipes.

Knights of Columbus News
Council 2614 will conduct its next business meeting
on Monday, October 12th at 7:30 PM in the
cafeteria.
Greetings Sacred Heart Parish,
Normally this time of year Knights of Columbus Council
#2614 is planning our 2020 Commitment to Humanities
Tootsie Roll Drive. 80% of the money raised supports our
local Twin Rivers Development Support Services and 20%
goes to the Kansas State Special Olympics.
However, due to the Covid 19 pandemic, we have had to
limit our Tootsie Roll Drive activities.
Our council will only be handing out Tootsie Rolls and
accepting donations after each Mass this weekend. This
year we will also have small boxes containing 50 Tootsie
Rolls available for a minimum donation of $15.00 per box.
We appreciate the support the Parish has given this fund-
raising activity in the past and hope you can help again
this
year. Thank-you. David E. Pankaskie, Community Director
Council #2614

bautismales son obligatorios para todos los padres y
padrinos. La clase dura una hora y está en la oficina de la
parroquia (302 S B Street).

SAN VICENTE DE PAUL Por favor, consideren involucrarse en la
Sociedad de San Vicente de Paul y únanse en
nuestra próxima junta que será el 14 de enero a las 6:00
p.m. en la cafetería de escuela.
Saludos Parroquia del Sagrado Corazón,
Normalmente, en esta época del año, el Consejo
de Caballeros de Colón # 2614 está planificando
nuestro Compromiso con las Humanidades 2020,
Tootsie Roll Drive. Este evento anual recauda
dinero para ayudar a las personas con
discapacidades intelectuales aquí mismo en nuestra
comunidad local y en todo el estado. El 80% del dinero
recaudado apoya nuestros Servicios de Apoyo al Desarrollo
de Twin Rivers locales y el 20% se destina a las
Olimpiadas Especiales del Estado de Kansas.
Sin embargo, debido a la pandemia de Covid 19, hemos
tenido que limitar nuestras actividades de Tootsie Roll
Drive y no entregaremos Tootsie Rolls ni aceptaremos
donaciones en las tiendas este año.
En cambio, los Caballeros de nuestro consejo solo
entregarán Tootsie Rolls y aceptarán donaciones después
de cada misa durante los próximos dos fines de semana.
Este año también tendremos cajas pequeñas que contienen
50 Tootsie Rolls disponibles por una donación mínima de $
15.00 por caja.
Agradecemos el apoyo que la parroquia ha brindado a
esta actividad de recaudación de fondos en el pasado y
esperamos que pueda ayudar nuevamente este
año.
Gracias. David E. Pankaskie,
Director de la Comunidad, Consejo # 2614

Se nos ha dado TODO En las lecturas de hoy, nos encontramos una
invitación para un gran evento. Este festín, solo incluye la comida
más rica y
los vinos más puros. El banquete es preparado y un asiento ha
sido reservado para ti. La pregunta es, ¿aceptarías la
invitación? En la parábola, nos dimos cuenta de que la gente que
fue invitada a este festín estaba demasiado ocupada para
asistir. Tristemente, este podrías ser tú o yo cualquiera de
estos días. El reto de estas lecturas es este: detente y en
gratitud,
¡acepta la invitación al banquete del Señor! Él tiene mucho gozo
guardado para ti y El solo quiere compartirlo contigo. El
Stewardship no requiere que dejes todas las cosas que tu
disfrutas, pero requiere que aquietes tu alma lo suficiente, para
que
puedas escuchar y responder la gentil invitación de Jesús.
