Reflection At the beginning of this gospel, Jesus reminded his listeners of what God’s original plan was for marriage. A man and a woman were to be united and live as one. It was simple. But as relationships developed, marriage must have been as complicated then as it is now because Moses had to make concessions for the people. Scholars still struggle with the words of Jesus in this gospel because imperfect relationships continue to exist today. What is clear in this reading is that in order to enter the Kingdom of Heaven we must accept it as a gift. Children in ancient times as well as our own, depend entirely on their parents (or society) for their care. To children, everything is a gift because they can’t earn anything. That is how it must be for us if we are to accept the Kingdom of God.
Reflection for Families Parents are accustomed to doing and giving, mostly for their children, but certainly for others as well. That is why the notion of today’s gospel is probably one of the hardest for parents to accept. Jesus clearly lets us know that the Kingdom of God is a gift, given to us freely by God. It isn’t something we can volunteer for, clip coupons for, or negotiate. Children, if we let them, will show us how freely and innocently we can accept this gift. Parents, pay special attention to your child(ren) over the next few days and see if you can pick up any of their wisdom about the gift God offers each of us.
Vocation View The Christian Vocation has expression through marriage, single life, priesthood and consecrated life. Our call to holiness is to answer God's call to build the Kingdom of God. 'Let the little children come to me; ... for it is to such as these that the Kingdom of God belongs.'
Lectors and Extra Ordinary Ministers Please email or call Anne-Marie as soon as possible if you know you will be away certain times between November and February so she can prepare the schedule. 705-743-8185 or [email protected]. There will be a training/refresher course for both ministries Saturday, October 17th at 9:30am (after 9am Mass). All lectors and extra ordinary ministers are encourage to attend as there are always changes.
St. Alphonsus Liguori Parish Volunteer AppreciationThe clergy and staff of St. Alphonsus Liguori extend an invitation Friday, October 16th, 6—8pm, in the Parish Hall to all individuals and members of parish ministries, organizations, groups and committees who serve of their time in our parish. We truly appreciate all the work you do. Our parish could not run without all of you!
Welcome Home! We welcome back all those who have been away over the Summer months. Things seem awfully dull here at St. Alphonsus when you are away. We extend a special word of welcome to anyone who moved into St. Alphonsus Parish over the Summer months. Please make yourself at home! We encourage you to register as a member… you can do that online or by filling out the communication card in the bulletin, or stop by the Welcome Desk. And don’t forget to introduce yourself to Father Jerry or any member of the Pastoral Team after Mass.

stewardship thoughtsIn the context of the passage
from the Letter to the Hebrews that all things exist for and
through God, today’s Scripture passages from the Book of
Genesis and St. Mark’s Gospel profess a common theme:
sacred marriage. In the Gospel, Jesus, referring to Genesis,
proclaims, God mad them male and female. For this reason, a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his
wife, and the two shall become one flesh. It is obvious from
these Scripture passages that God’s gift of marriage is a
blessing between one man and one woman. This is the Church’s teaching on Christian marriage and it is Scriptural Truth. In this
Truth, the Sacrament of Matrimony reaches its full
Christian meaning and potential by strengthening husbands and wives to love and serve the Lord
and one another.
