Reading
Isaiah 5:1-7
Let me now sing of my friend, my friend's song concerning his vineyard. My
friend had a vineyard on a fertile hillside; he spaded it, cleared it of
stones, and planted the choicest vines; within it he built a watchtower, and
hewed out a wine press. Then he looked for the crop of grapes, but what it
yielded was wild grapes. Now, inhabitants of
Jerusalem and people of Judah, judge between
me and my vineyard: What more was there to do for my vineyard that I had not
done? Why, when I looked for the crop of grapes, did it bring forth wild
grapes? Now, I will let you know what I mean to do with my vineyard: take away
its hedge, give it to grazing, break through its wall, let it be trampled! Yes,
I will make it a ruin: it shall not be pruned or hoed, but overgrown with
thorns and briers; I will command the clouds not to send rain upon it. The
vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel,
and the people of Judah
are his cherished plant; he looked for judgment, but see, bloodshed! for
justice, but hark, the outcry!
Gospel
Matthew 21:33-43
Jesus said to the chief priests and the elders of the people: "Hear another
parable. There was a landowner who planted a vineyard, put a hedge around it,
dug a wine press in it, and built a tower. Then he leased it to tenants and
went on a journey. When vintage time drew near, he sent his servants to the
tenants to obtain his produce. But the tenants seized the servants and one they
beat, another they killed, and a third they stoned. Again he sent other servants, more numerous
than the first ones, but they treated them in the same way. Finally, he sent
his son to them, thinking, 'They will respect my son.' But when the tenants saw
the son, they said to one another, 'This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and
acquire his inheritance.’ They seized him, threw him out of the vineyard, and
killed him. What will the owner of the vineyard do to those tenants when he
comes?" They answered him, "He will put those wretched men to a
wretched death and lease his vineyard to other tenants who will give him the
produce at the proper times." Jesus said to them, "Did you never read
in the Scriptures: The stone that the builders rejected has become the
cornerstone; by the Lord has this been done, and it is wonderful in our eyes? Therefore,
I say to you, the kingdom
of God will be taken away
from you and given to a people that will produce its fruit."

A NOTE OF THANKS
Thank
you, St. Cecilia Parish! Do you know what you have accomplished in a
single weekend? By your generous and
loving acts of giving, I am receiving a promising new cancer treatment. You have answered our prayers! What a remarkable expression of your
faith! Warren Hudgens, Sharon Murphy and
family
GREETINGS
FROM NIGERIA
I
have arrived safely. Thank you for your
prayers. Thank you for the wonderful
time I had during my stay at St. Cecilia’s.
You took care of me. I appreciate
all of you. How are Jim, Tarry, Jean,
Dorthy, Shirley, Jim, Sr. Anna and others members of the staff? My regards to all of them. How is Fr. Carroll doing? Trying to
adjust? What of the parishioners? I hope fine, my regards to everyone. I just got back with lots of work on my desks,
trying to put them in order. I will be
in touch. Blessings, Fr. Godson
AUCTION ITEMS
Any
items for the auction should not be left at the church. Unmarked items may be discarded by mistake. Arrangements for donation drop offs should be
made through Dan & Deanna Greenwood (855-0693).
EUCHARISTIC MINISTERS
There
is still one of the crosses missing from the Sacristy. If you have it please return it as soon as
possible. Please also remember to leave
them in the Sacristy at the end of Mass. Thank you.
HELP SUPPORT A PARISH IN NIGERIA
We
have several items that we no longer use in our parish. Rather than discarding them, we want to send
them to Fr. Godson in Nigeria. There are several parishes there that could
use them. They include Religious Ed
books, bibles, and such. The Knights of
Columbus are having their Pancake Breakfast on October 9 and will be raising money
to cover the cost of shipping the books to Fr. Godson. Please stop by, enjoy some pancakes and
donate some money to help educate children who are not as fortunate.
GOSPEL TRUTH FOR THE YOUTH
Has anyone ever been angry at
you? How did you feel? Hurt?
Rejected? This is what today’s
gospel talks about. When the owner,
after his servants were beaten, sent his son to gather the produce, the people
were angry and killed him. The people
rejected the owner’s son just like they would reject Jesus later on. So what is the solution for anger and
hatred? It is understanding why people
hate. Then you pray for them, and
finally you try to change their hatred into love through your own actions.

COUNTY
LIFE CHAIN: A PRO-LIFE VIGIL
On
Sunday Oct. 2, 2005
between 2:00 and 3:15 p.m. many individuals from
approximately 50 different churches and other religious organizations will line
both sides of Wheaton Way in East Bremerton in a peaceful and prayerful
demonstration of the their commitment to the sanctity of life for the
unborn. Each participant will be
provided with a sign calling for the end of abortion and, in a quiet and
respectful manner, will display that message to all on-coming motorists. The location specifically designated for St.
Cecilia’s participants will be on the west side of Wheaton Way at its intersection with
Riddell Rd., easily
recognizable by the Chevron station located there, and parking will not be a
problem. This is an annual event, but,
regrettably, one in which our parish’s past contribution has been minimal. LET’S CHANGE THAT THIS YEAR! If you have a question call: Jack Gibney at
780-5307.
ADVICE FROM THE CHURCH MOUSE
“An act of Perfect Acceptance
to the will of God unites us more to Him than a hundred other acts of
virtue.” -St. Alphonsus
ATTENTION
CCD PARENTS
Parents of all CCD children, please remember
that you have to pick your child up from his/her classroom at the end of
class. Children are not to be dismissed
from their class until a parent is present.
(Also please remind your children to be on their best behavior as there
is limited time for class.)
RCIA BEGINS TUESDAY OCTOBER 4, 2005

SCCS BAKESALE TO
SUPPORT STUDENTS OF LITTLE FLOWER
SCHOOL IN MOBILE,
ALABAMA
Little
Flower
School is taking in students from Louisiana who lost their
homes to Hurricane Katrina. SCCS has
“adopted” Little Flower for this school year.
Our students will raise money to send to the school and write letters of
support and friendship to their students.
The Principal of Little Flower wants to replace one special, personal
item lost by each student affected by the hurricane. She will send us the list of items that the
children miss most and we will replace those items. Please support the SCCS bake sale after 10:00 mass on October 16th
by contributing baked goods and/or purchasing them on that day. Help us make a difference in the lives of
children who lost everything they owned during the hurricane. Baked goods can
be dropped off in Conger Hall before the 10:00
mass on October 16th.Thank you for the support of this mission! For
more information, please call Carol Jelinek:

We begin to witness the beauty of the world
changing before us-leaves of trees, the weather, the earth itself. Thank you God for the awesome beauty you show
us and the promise of future rebirth.
