The month of October is dedicated to the Holy Rosary, one of the best known of all Catholic devotions. The Rosary is a form of contemplative prayer. Many great popes, saints, and Christian leaders have exhorted us to pray the rosary. It’s a powerful prayer, they say, one that can change your life, strengthen the family, bring peace to the world, convert entire nations, and win the salvation of souls. Edward Sri
The Rosary is a Scripture-based prayer. It begins with the Apostles’ Creed, which summarizes the great mysteries of the Catholic faith. How to Pray the Rosary

2020 Passion Play in Oberammergau In 1633, Southern Germany was in the grips of war, poverty, and the plague. That year when the disease reached Oberammergau the villagers prayed for deliverance and vowed to perform a passion play about the last days of Jesus forever more. Their prayers were answered and the village was saved from a continued outbreak of the plague. Nearly 400 years later the play continues. It is performed once every decade. Witness Oberammergau Passion Play 2020 which will be performed daily May 16 through October 4, 2020. For more information please contact Debra at Envoye Travel 806-788-8907 ext.2004. Debra@envoye.com

The hospitality ministry has invited parishioners to help welcome fellow parishioners and visitors to our Sunday Masses and special liturgical events. A Mass Greeter’s task is simply one that welcomes parishioners and visitors in our gathering space before they enter the sanctuary. Please call the parish office for more information 806.698.6400
Many greeters have made significant impacts on parishioners and visitors that have encouraged them in their faith. Maybe someone has had a difficult week. A warm greeting can remind people that they are entering a place that will treat them differently than the way the world treated them. A warm greeting also reaffirms to each person that they belong. It’s a way of saying, “You belong here, and we are glad that you do.” After all, everyone is important to the body of Christ.
Please take some time to consider how you might be able to help as a greeter before our weekend Masses. As each one has received a gift, use it to serve one another as good stewards of God’s varied grace.
1 Peter 4:10 8-9 Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling.
