29TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME


OCTOBER 19TH, 2008
IN YOUR PRAYERS: We pray for our loved ones who have died, especially Roy Pleau, Dan Anderson and
Mary Quilty. We pray for our sick, especially Mary Russell, Kathy Searson, Dennis Enright, Elvina Zavitski, Joyce

SENATORS GAME– We have procured 40 Ottawa Senators tickets for the game against the New York
Islanders on Thursday, November 13th and we have chartered a bus to get us there and back. The parish
will cover the cost of the bus rental and we invite you to assist us with a canned food donation for the New
Connections Ministries which is a local ministry to men who want to be rid of their addictions and want to live
a life of hope. The first forty parishioners to register with a $45.00 cheque or cash to St. Francis Xavier Parish will
receive a ticket. If there are not forty parishioners we will then open up to friends.

LET’S JOURNEY TOGETHER


We all have a faith journey and it can help us if we share with others our own faith experience
and have them share theirs with us. As an adult education experience, we are proposing
an eight-week series of faith discussions open to any age desiring to attend. Please
contact the parish office to indicate your interest in attending any or all of the discussions.
Deacon Don Smith is facilitating the series which will be held on Thursday evenings
beginning October 23rd and concluding December 11th.
CATHOLIC FAITH DISCUSSION TOPICS
♦ What is my idea of God? How has it changed over the years? Does my idea of God need to
be challenged.
♦ Getting to know Jesus: the human Jesus, the messianic Jesus, the divine Jesus, the Jesus
who formed our Church. What do we really know about him?
♦ How does the Holy Spirit lead me? What role does the Holy Spirit play in my life? How do I
pray to the Holy Spirit?
♦ God is a mystery. That does not mean that God cannot be known. It means that the
mystery is gradually understood, much like peeling an onion. Peel away one layer, and
we uncover others. What have I learned in my life about God?
♦ We are called to somehow co-create the kingdom of heaven here on earth. What do I see
as my calling? How do I achieve that in my life experience? How important is my involvement
in the Church to this end?
♦ When I experience periods of dryness in my faith life, how do I deal with them? What
seems to ignite the fire again?
♦ How would I describe my prayer life? Has it changed over the years? Does it need to change in
any way? When do I find prayer difficult? How does God answer my prayers?
