Mission Statement of Assumption
Church – Florian
As disciples of the teachings of Jesus Christ we, as a
Christian Community, focus our time, talent, and treasure on sharing the Gospel
of our Lord in Word and Deed.
The Sacramental Life
Infant Baptism:
Catechetical Class is required; please contact Fr. Luis early during pregnancy
or adoption.
Anointing of the Sick:
Please call the Parish Office during serious illness or before surgery.
Shut-Ins:
If you know anyone who cannot come to Church, please let the office know, so
they can be put on a visiting schedule by a Eucharistic Minister.

All Catholics who have decided to enter marriage must see a priest six months
prior to the desired date of marriage. If a Catholic is contemplating marriage
to a non-Catholic, the Catholic must still contact a priest to fulfill the

by the Church. Please contact Father Luis before booking the date with the
secretary.

Assumption-Florian Parish Bulletin, October 6, 2024
“So out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of
the field and every bird of the air, and brought
them
to the man to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called every
living creature, that
was
its name.” (GENESIS 2:19)
The creation story reminds us of two important points.
First, since the start, God has put the entire
world
into our care. Second, stewardship has been around since the beginning of
mankind, it isn’t
something
recently invented by the Church. Just as past generations built our Church, it
is now our
responsibility
to continue to nurture and develop these gifts for future generations.

Rosary: Mark & Becky Weber
Eucharistic Minister: Veronica Knoll
& Donalda Kuznia Altar
Servers: Corbyn Bring, Bromley Holmstrom, & Kieryn Olson
People were bringing little children to him in order that he
might touch them; and the disciples spoke sternly to them. But when Jesus saw
this, he was indignant and said to them, “Let the little children come to me;
do not stop them; for it is too such as these that the kingdom of God belongs.”
(Mark 10:13-14)
Ponder: What does my inner little child need
at the moment?
Prayer: Lord, I am grateful for
childlike innocence. Help me to be more aware of and responsive to the needs of
little children.
Practice: With a grateful heart I will research
and support an advocacy program for children.

[Jesus said to them] “If you then, who are evil, know how to
give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give
the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!” (Luke 11:13)
Ponder: Whom do I find it difficult to love
unconditionally?
Prayer: Lord, I am grateful that you
answer my cries for help. Show me how to answer the cries of those who need
unconditional love.
Practice: With a grateful heart I will
visit someone who is home bound.

Do Something Beautiful for God – The
Essential Teachings of Mother Teresa
October 4 – Meditation is talking to Jesus. It
is a deep intimate conversation with Jesus.
October 5 – From the cross Jesus cries out, “I
thirst.” His thirst was for souls even as He hung there dying, alone, despised.
Who will bring those souls to Him? Can you and I continue to stand by as mere
spectators? Can we pass by and do nothing?
October 6 – Look at Mary Magdalene; she was so
in love in Jesus. She went early in the morning to see Him…Are we like that at
holy Mass? During Prayer? Do we have that eagerness and longing to be with him?
October 7 – When you look at the inner workings
of electrical things, you often see small and big wires, new and old, cheap,
and expensive, all lined up. Until the current passes through them there will
be no light. That wire is you and me. The current is God. We have the power to
let the current pass through us, use us, produce the light of the world. Or we
can refuse to be used and allow darkness to spread.
October 8 – You and I are called to do very
humble work. There are many people who can do big things, but there are very
few people who will do the small things.
October 9 – Charity for the poor is like a
living flame; the drier the fuel, the brighter it burns. In your service to the
poor do not give only your hands but also your hearts. Charity to be fruitful
must cost us. Give, give, give. Give until it hurts.
To love, it is necessary to give: to give it is necessary to be free from
selfishness.
October 10 – Bring love into your homes. If you
truly love God, start loving your son or your daughter and your spouse. And the
elderly, where are they? In nursing homes! Why are they not with you? And where
is the retarded child? In an institution! Why is he not with you? That child is
a gift from God.
