For many years the U.S. bishops have supported decent health care for all based on our teaching that health care is essential for human life and dignity and on the Church's experience in providing health care and assisting those with coverage. We seek reform that protects the life, dignity and health care for all. More information can be found at www.usccb.org/healthcare. "No one should be required to pay for or participiate in abortion."

STEWARDSHIP REFLECTION - Grateful Stewards
"Immediately he received sight and folowed him on the way." (Mark 10:52b)

MERGER CORNER
A committee with representatives from each of the four merging parishes has been working to write a Mission Statement for our Holy Cross Parish. We plan to present a darft of our new Mission Statement to our fellow parishioners sometime in November.

The Transitional Ministry Committee met Sept. 30, and among the topics discussed were outreach efforts to welcome back Catholics to the church, provisions to address the needs of the poor, the unborn, marginalized and immigrants in both charity and justice, strategies to initiate ministries and assistance for senior citizens and those with special needs, strategies to initiate an ongoing welcoming environment for the disabled, and planned multicultural and multiethnic communities in church and parish life.

If you have any questions about the merger of the four parishes or wish to provide input, please contact Father Ariel Hernandez, our Priest Convener, or a Core Team member.

STEWARDSHIP REFLECTION - Stewardship Responsibility
"It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for one who is rich to enter the kingdom of God." (Mark 10:25)

These words of Jesus are so harsh that sometimes we are tempted to ignore our Stewardship responsibility, thinking that He really could not have meant them. Yet when our lives revolve around too many material possessions it is difficult to find the necessary time for God, for salvation and for God's beloved poor.

A FAMILY PERSPECTIVE by Bud Ozar
Today's gospel is about a "new math." In a Christian marriage, 1+1 does not equal 1 or 2, but 3. Each person retains their own unique identity but together create another identity (the "one flesh" Jesus speaks of in the gospel) which is greater than the sum of the individuals. Christian marriage is a challenge to be greater than ourselves.
