St. Stanislaus Kostka Catholic Church
Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston
Thirtieth Sunday in Ordinary Time
"Our Savior Jesus Christ destroyed death
and brought life to light through the Gospel."
Sunday Readings:
Jeremiah 31:7–9 The blind and the lame I will bring back: I will console them.
Psalm 126 “The Lord has done great things for us; we are filled with joy.”
Hebrews 5:1–6 You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.
Mark 10:46–52 Master, I want to see.
Whereas last Sunday the readings focused on the trials and sufferings of our Lord and the service to which we are all called, today’s readings celebrate the joy that our faith in God brings. Jeremiah tells how God will gather the Chosen People from the ends of the earth. Hebrews reminds us that God calls all who lead the church, and in fact sent the great high priest, Jesus Christ, into the world. In the Gospel, Jesus heals blind Bartimaeus, who leaves his former way of life behind to follow Jesus. May we be blessed with his courage. ~ from Pastoral Patterns, fall 2021

Become a volunteer! Volunteers are an essential part of the SVDP. Through their work, commitment, and hope, we can undertake many forms of social action which benefit millions of people. Each of us has something special to contribute. The SVDP has a broad framework of action, in which you are sure to find something to suit you and where your contribution will be valuable.
We are starting home visits with the help of St. Mary's Plantersville SVDPS. We are close to being on our own and serving those in need! Please pray for this important ministry to those in need.

12-Hour Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament in the church on Mondays from 8:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m.
“What is Eucharistic Adoration?” We often hear that that’s a question from those new to the faith or searching for ways to deepen their relationship with Jesus Christ. On the contrary, adoration is a way to be present with the Lord and actively listen to His word through prayer.
