2024 CATHOLIC MINISTRIES DRIVE
THE 2024 CATHOLIC MINISTRIES DRIVE. Your sacrificial gifts of prayer and treasure will make an immediate impact on ministries that focus on evangelization, serving those in need, and the formation of our priests and deacons. During Lent, and throughout the year, we are challenged to renew our spiritual devotions and duties, and one of those holy duties is to support the Church. This year, our campaign’s theme is Encountering Christ. During this time of Eucharistic Revival, Encountering Christ is an invitation to grow in your living relationship with Christ in the Eucharist, to open your heart to serving your brothers and sisters, and to fulfill your holy duty of supporting the Church with gifts of your time, talent, and treasure.
Please mail your contributions to the Diocese of Altoona/Johnstown, or make an online gift by clicking the button below. 100% of your gift goes directly to these ministries. All gifts received beyond the parish target amount will be used for your parish. The target amounts for 2024 are: Resurrection Parish, $31,643.00; and St. Clare of Assisi Parish, $8,472.00.

News & Events
A PRAYER FOR PEACE IN ISRAEL AND PALESTINE
God of Comfort,
send your Spirit to encompass all those whose lives
are torn apart by violence and death in Israel and Palestine.
You are the Advocate of the oppressed
and the One whose eye is on the sparrow.
Let arms reach out in healing, rather than aggression.
Let hearts mourn rather than militarize.
God of Justice,
give strength to those whose long work for a just peace
might seem fruitless now. Strengthen their resolve.
Do not let them feel alone. Show us how to support their work
and bolster their courage. Guide religious leaders to model
unity and reconciliation across lines of division.
Guide political leaders to listen with their hearts as they seek peace and pursue it.
Help all people choose the rigorous path of just peace and disavow violence.
God of Love,
we lift up Palestine and Israel — its people, its land, its creatures.
War is a monster that consumes everything in its path.
Peace is a gift shared at meals of memory with Christians, Muslims, and Jews.
Let us burn incense, not children. Let us break bread, not bodies.
Let us plant olive groves, not cemeteries.
We beg for love and compassion to prevail
on all your holy mountains.
God of Hope,
we lift up the cities of the region: Gaza City and Tel Aviv,
Ramallah and Ashkelon, Deir El Balah and Sderot,
so long divided, yet so filled with life and creativity.
Come again to breathe peace on your peoples
that all may recognize you.
God of Mercy,
even now work on the hearts of combatants
to choose life over death, reconciliation over retaliation,
restoration over destruction. Help us resist antisemitism in all its forms,
especially in our own churches. All people, Israelis and Palestinians,
deserve to live in peace and unafraid, with a right to determine
their future together.
God of the Nations,
let not one more child or elder be sacrificed on altars of political expediency.
Keep safe all people from unjust leaders who would exploit
vulnerability for their own distorted ends.
Give wise discernment to those making decisions to pursue peace.
Provide them insight into fostering well-being, freedom, and thriving for all.
Teach all of us to resolve injustices with righteousness, not rockets.
Guard our hearts against retaliation, and give us hearts for love alone.
Strengthen our faith in you, O God of All Flesh,
even when we don’t have clear answers,
so that we may still offer ourselves nonviolently
for the cause of peace.
Amen.

Our readings this week speak to each of our domestic churches – the little churches that we call our families. They bring us back to the very beginning of time and call us to restore what God had intended for each of us.
As Genesis reminds us, God created woman as a partner for man and He desires that they become unified. It is in this union of marriage that man and woman work together to bring their family to Heaven. This is the mission that our families must be united in. We must ask ourselves, how are we living out that mission? It should be the very heart and soul of our families.
As we think about our families this week – whether it be a single household or a family of 10 – let us find small ways in which we can live out our mission to bring our families to heaven.

October is Respect Life Month
Heavenly Father, the beauty and dignity of human life was the crowning of your creation.
You further ennobled that life when your Son became one with us in his incarnation.
Help us to realize the sacredness of human life and to respect it from the moment of conception until the last moment at death.
Give us courage to speak with truth and love and with conviction in defense of life.
Help us to extend the gentle hand of mercy and forgiveness to those who do not reverence your gift of life.
To all, grant pardon for the times we have failed to be grateful for your precious gift of life or to respect it in others.
We ask this in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Pope Francis has called for a global day of prayer and fasting on October 7 to mark the one-year anniversary of the Hamas attack on Israel amid escalating violence in the region.
O Almighty and merciful God, Lord of the universe and of history. All that You have created is good and your compassion for the mistakes of mankind knows no limits.
We come to You today to ask You to keep in peace the world and its people, to keep far away from it the devastating wave of war, to restore friendship and instill in the hearts of your creatures the gift of trust and of readiness to forgive.
O Giver of life, we pray to You also for all those who have died as victims of brutal attacks. Grant them their eternal reward. May they intercede for the world that is torn apart by conflicts and disagreements.
O Jesus, Prince of Peace, we pray to You for the ones who have been wounded in these acts of inhuman violence: children and young people, old people and innocent people accidentally involved in evil. Heal their bodies and hearts; console them with Your strength and, at the same time, take away any hatred and a desire for revenge.
Holy Spirit Consoler, visit the families of the victims of war, families that suffer through no fault of their own. Wrap them in the mantle of Your divine mercy. Make them find again in You and in themselves the strength and courage to continue to be brothers and sisters for others, above all for immigrants, giving witness to Your love by their lives.
Touch the hearts of evil leaders so that they may recognize the evil of their actions and may turn to the way of peace and goodness, of respect for the life and for the dignity of every human being, regardless of religion, origin, wealth or poverty.
O God, Eternal Father, in Your mercy hear our prayer which we raise up to You amidst the deafening noise and desperation of the world. We turn to You with great hope, full of trust in Your infinite Mercy.
We entrust ourselves to the intercession of Your Most Holy Mother. We ask for the gift of peace and of the elimination from our midst of the sore of war and terrorism.
We make this prayer through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Pray the Liturgy of the Hours
Lectio divina is a form of meditation rooted in liturgical celebration that dates back to early monastic communities. It was a method practiced by monks in their daily encounter with Scripture, both as they prepared for the Eucharist and as they prayed the Liturgy of the Hours.
The Latin phrase “lectio divina” may be translated as “divine reading.” As one reads and invites the Word to become a transforming lens that brings the events of daily living into focus, one can come to live more deeply and find the presence of God more readily in the events of each day. The method of lectio divina follows four steps:
Use these Lectio Divina guides to meditate, contemplate, and pray. 
The Chaplet of Divine Mercy is a prayer that was revealed by Jesus to St. Faustina Kowalska. It is recited using ordinary Rosary beads of five decades and is preceded by two opening prayers from the Diary of Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska and followed by a closing prayer. The Chaplet of Divine Mercy is prayed on ordinary Rosary beads. See the link below for specific instructions for praying chaplet or the novena.
Use the link below to go to the Divine Mercy page. Each day, the prayers will only take about 10 minutes of your time.

- TAMBURITZANS: On Saturday October 12th, All Saints Parish in Boswell will be hosting a performance by the famed Tamburitzan folk ensemble from Pittsburgh at North Star High School in Boswell. The Tamburitzans, who are comprised of elite student performers, have performed at some of the most prestigious concert halls, both nationally and internationally, for over eighty years. All the performers receive college scholarships and are college students in the Pittsburgh area (the Tamburitzans were long associated with Duquesne University). The Tamburitzans help to preserve venerable ethnic cultures from around the world through lively dances, authentic instruments (over 100 different per show), vibrant costumes, and a variety of languages. Each year the Tamburitzans put on a new show. This year's show will feature music, dance, and folk costumes from Polish, Slovak, Croatian, Roma, Serbian, Mexican, Bulgarian, and Armenian cultures. The presence of the Tamburitzans in Boswell is a rare and exceptional event. It is their only show in our region this year. Proceeds from the event will go to help fund a pilgrimage to Rome for students from the Boswell parish. All high school students who are enrolled in the parish religious education program at Boswell, along with one parent, are invited to attend the trip to Rome at no cost. Following the show, there will be a festive reception in the parish hall featuring food and drink from all over the world. In addition to food and a cash bar, there will be games of chance and live music by the Tamburitzans. The event begins at 200 PM and is about 1 hour away from Garvey Manor. $25 for seniors, $30 general admission, $10 for students. Reception is $20 and is all you can eat.
