I just prayed the rosary with our RE kids.  October is the month of the rosary.  Our bishop has asked us to pray the rosary every day for pro-life efforts.

     Most of us have heard of the Blessed Mother appearing to three children in Fatima, Portugal.  She promised in September 1917 that her spouse would appear the next month with the child Jesus.  That's among the things that happened on October 13, 1917.  St. Joseph and the child Jesus blessed the world during the apparition.

     We need a fatherly intercessor like St. Joseph just as we need a motherly intercessor like the Blessed Mother.  We need the example of the Holy Family to help us accept the invitation of Jesus to become more faithful members of His family, the Church.

     I broke another area of technology by using an unshielded cable to plug our cable modem into a UPS.  When the Comcast technician arrived, he quickly identified two problems:  the unshielded cable and the bad filter up near the electric pole.  I removed the cable.  He fixed the problem outside.

     It'll be interesting to see if we have any more trouble with livestreaming.  In the last two days, we improved our network topology and fixed the Comcast Internet connection.

     As of today, all the items for sale are set-up in our religious articles store.  It is located by the offices in the parish center.  The store is open during office hours, Monday through Friday, 8:30 AM to 3 PM.  Victor is going to train our volunteers so that they know how to run the store.

God love you,

Fr. Jim
