OCTOBER, 4 2020 | VOL. I NO. 12 DEAR PARISHIONERS, THE WEEK’S MASS SCHEDULE & INTENTIONS SATURDAY, OCTOBER 3 October, the Month of Our Lady of the Rosary 4:00 PM All Parishioners Garrison “Because Mary is our mother, devotion to her teaches us to be authentic sons and daughters: to love truly, without limit; to be SUNDAY, OCTOBER 4 simple, without the complications which come from selfishly 8:30 AM Evelyn Marks Crosby thinking only about ourselves; to be happy, knowing that nothing 10:30 AM* Elizabeth Korf Crosby can destroy our hope.” St. Josemaria Escriva (Christ is Passing By, no. 143) MONDAY, OCTOBER 5 The Rosary is a great way to calm our senses and mind to those 8:00 AM FAK Crosby things which we carry. Then we simply hand them over to Jesus through Mary, our beautiful Mother. These times call us to increase TUESDAY, OCTOBER 6 the pressure of our interior life. I ask your prayers as your priest, 12 NOON Bart Johnson † Crosby especially for wisdom in going forward. October 7th, the Feast of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary marks my anniversary of my diaconate WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 7 9:00 AM Mary Johnson Garrison ordination in St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome back in 2010. She has guided me and protected me through these years as a powerful THURSDAY, OCTOBER 8 intercessor before God. 6:00 PM Lewis Mazar † Crosby I want to encourage a couple of things for your spiritual life in this wonderful month we head into now. The building project of the new FRIDAY, OCTOBER 9 church is a worthy intention for the Rosary in this month of October 8:00 AM Honey Olin † Crosby with a certain frequency. It is an exciting prospect for us as well as a clear need given the size we are as a parish. Also, pray for the SATURDAY, OCTOBER 10 Church since she is being thrown through choppy waters in these 4:00 PM Tracy & Will Garrison days. Our presbyterate of the diocese of Duluth has seen a couple of priests needing to step away for ministry for health reasons SUNDAY, OCTOBER 11 (unrelated to the pandemic). We meet later in October for our 8:30 AM Mark & Bonnie Rekucki Crosby clergy conference, so please pray for us as the spiritual fathers of 10:30 AM All Parishioners * Crosby the Church in this part of Minnesota. Here are some concrete encouragements for praying the Rosary. *Mass held outside on the east side property of the SJ Church, weather permitting. 1. Pray the rosary daily; privately or with friends and family. Develop LITURGICAL ROLES a lively devotion for Our Mother. She knows how to respond in a most sensitive way to the presents we give her. What is more, if you say the Holy Rosary every day, with a spirit of faith and love, Our SATURDAY, OCTOBER 10 — 4:00 PM — OUR LADY OF FATIMA Lector Dennis Burr Lady will make sure she leads you very far along her Son’s path.” (Furrow, no. 691) SUNDAY, OCTOBER 11 8:30 AM ST. JOSEPH 2. When praying the family rosary, especially with young children, Lector Tony Ravnik use a booklet or app that shows an image for each mystery of the Ushers Mary Lee Dallman/Luke Ringhand rosary. On October 7th, the Church celebrates the feast day of Servers G. Vignieri/J. Millsop/J. Millsop Mary, Queen of the Holy Rosary. The feast day was established by

Pope Saint Pius V on the anniversary of the victory at Lepanto on SUNDAY, OCTOBER 11 10:30 AM ST. JOSEPH October 7, 1571.The naval victory was attributed to the Virgin Mary Lector Mark Hudrlik whose intercession was entreated through the recitation of the Holy Rosary. The Church then proceeded to dedicate the month of Usher J. Wehseler/T. Brady/M. Smith/K. Schaefbauer October to the Rosary so that individuals, families, and Servers Fitzpatricks/L. Turner communities would pray it. You and your families are in my daily Rosary. God bless you! If you are unable to fulfill these roles, please call a substitute or contact the Parish Office.
