Twenty-sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time September 29, 2019 Over the past year, a number of churches Mass Intentions have been targeted by a scam where some- Monday, Sep 30, St. Jerome one sends an email or text to a parishioner 7:00 a.m. Dennis Schaeffer posing as one of the priests asking for a 8:30 a.m. Jackie Bowman favor. Once the parishioner responds to the Tuesday, Oct 1, St. Therese of the Child Jesus message, the sender replies with something 7:00 a.m. Mary Peek like they need help in picking up a gift card 8:30 a.m. Lynn DeMarco for a friend with cancer but are in meetings and can’t do it. Ultimately, they want the parishioner to buy the gift Wed, Oct 2, The Holy Guardian Angels card and send a picture of it to them where they then 7:00 a.m. James L. Thomas have the funds. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE do not 8:30 a.m. Catherine McLaughlin respond to any of these messages.

Please 8:30 a.m. Edward Meder know that priests would never solicit help in this way Saturday, Oct 5, Weekday and if you ever get a strange email or text from what 8:30 a.m. Rosalie Cooper looks to be one of the priests, please look at the email/ 5:00 p.m. Claire Wood phone number carefully and also give us a call.

Introduction During a 2009 bass-fishing tournament on Lake Ray Hubbard in Texas, professional fisherman Bobby Ross turned in a remarkable fish. It was not remarkable for its size, as he’d hoped, but for the fact that it immediately sank to the bottom of the holding tank. After tournament officials noticed a suspicious bulge in the fish’s belly, they called Ross over, who revealed a one-pound weight he’d inserted into the fish’s mouth. He was promptly disqualified from the tournament, missing out on his opportunity to win a $55,000 bass-fishing boat.1 They take their bass-fishing seriously down in Texas. Following an investigation by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, Ross was charged with attempted theft,2 under the theory that he’d tried to steal the prize boat from the rightful winner by cheating in the tournament.

Valentine agreed to terms on a two-year contract with club options for 2014 and 2015. No further terms were disclosed. The announcement was made by Executive Vice President/General Manager Ben Cherington. “We are thrilled to welcome Bobby as the manager of the Red Sox, and I’m eager to begin working closely with him in our preparations for the 2012 season,” said Cherington. “He is one of the brightest baseball minds I have encountered, with a wealth of experience in the game, an unmatched passion for winning and a proven track record of success in demanding environments. In Bobby, we have the right man to lead the Red Sox.” A veteran of more than 40 years in professional baseball, Valentine has previously served parts of 15 seasons as a Major League manager with the Texas Rangers (1985-92) and New York Mets (1996-2002), compiling a 1,117-1,072 (.510) record. He ranks fourth among active managers in games and fifth in wins. The Stamford, CT native becomes the sixth Red Sox manager born in New England and the second from Connecticut, joining Meriden’s Jack Barry, who managed the club in 1917.

  • Eliot Asinof - Eight Men Out
    Eliot Asinof - Eight Men Out Eight Men Out The Black Sox and the 1919 World Series Eliot Asinof 1963 To Gahan and Marty "As Jackson departed from the Grand Jury room, a small boy clutched at his sleeve and tagged along, after him. "'Say it ain't so, Joe,' he pleaded. 'Say it ain't so.'" —Chicago Herald and Examiner, September 30, 1920 "The most gigantic sporting swindle in the history of America!" These headlines proclaiming the 1919 fix of the World Series startled millions of readers and focused the attention of the entire country on one of the most incredible episodes ever to be enacted in the public eye. Now, after painstaking research, Eliot Asinof has reconstructed the entire scene-by-scene story of this fantastic scandal in which eight Chicago White Sox players arranged with the nation's leading gamblers to throw the series to Cincinnati. Mr. Asinof vividly describes the tense meetings, the hitches in the conniving, the actual plays in which the Series was thrown, the Grand Jury indictment, and the famous 1921 trial. Moving behind the scenes, he perceptively examines the motives and backgrounds of the players and the conditions that made the improbable fix all too possible. Here are the anguished, guilty pitchers, Eddie Cicotte and "Lefty" Williams; the bewildered, fixed left fielder, "Shoeless" Joe Jackson; and the victimized third baseman, "Buck" Weaver. There are also deft portrayals of Charles Comiskey and Ban Johnson, as well as of deeply shocked newspapermen like Ring Lardner. The graphic picture of the American underworld which managed the fix lends eerie fascination to the book.
