SUMMARY:Called by Name Weekend
DESCRIPTION:Do you know a young man who exhibits qualities of faith\, leadership\, and a heart for service? During Masses this weekend\, parishioners will be asked to take part once again this year in the Called by Name initiative. Called by Name invites parishioners to submit -after prayerful consideration- the names of young men in their community whom they believe would be open to learning more about the priesthood. \nSpecifically\, parishioners will be asked if they know of a young\, unmarried man “who exhibits qualities of faith\, leadership\, and a heart for service” and then to nominate the individual to the Diocesan Vocation Office as a way of encouraging what may be a priestly vocation. Candidates should be 15-30-something years old. Parishioners will be able to submit names through various ways; more information will be provided at parishes. \nHonorees receive a letter of encouragement from Bishop Edgar M. da Cunha\, S.D.V.\, followed by resources and invitations to events from the Vocation Office. \nIn a recent communication to priests in the Diocese on Called by Name\, Bishop da Cunha explained that the “Vocations Office reports tremendous fruit from this effort\, with more men in discernment groups\, attending events\, and being accompanied by our Vocation Team.” \nPlease note that even if a young man’s name has been submitted before\, he can be submitted again this year. The aim is to honor their faithfulness\, and to continue to encourage and support them. \nVisit the Fall River Vocations website to learn more and to submit a name online. \n

SUMMARY:World Mission Sunday
DESCRIPTION:Established by Pope Pius XI in 1926 and celebrated every year on the second-to-last Sunday of October\, World Mission Sunday is the day when Catholics around the world unite to support the missionary work of the Church. \nThe World Mission Sunday collection grants funds to mission dioceses\, which help to underwrite the basic physical footprint that keeps missionary life going: where priests live\, where sisters live\, where children are catechized\, where formation and pastoral work can happen\, and where Holy Mass can be celebrated\, often for the first time. Part of the funds are used to help missionary dioceses run and survive\, while the rest of the funds are used to build churches\, seminaries\, convents\, and pastoral centers. In an average year\, World Mission Sunday helps to fund over 900 infrastructure-related projects for the Church! \nLearn more about World Mission Sunday \n
