"Unplanned" The Movie
“Unplanned” The Movie
Saturday, Oct. 19, 2019 at 7:00PM
O’Donnell Parish CenterSaint Catherine of Alexandria is hosting a FREE admission of the movie “Unplanned.” Unplanned is an inspiring true story of one woman’s journey of transformation. Planned Parenthood Director to pro-life activist.
Her passion surrounding a woman’s right to choose even led her to become a spokesperson for Planned Parenthood, fighting to enact legislation for the cause she so deeply believed in.
Until the day she saw something that changed everything, leading Abby Johnson to join her former enemies at 40 Days For Life and become one of the most ardent pro-life speakers in America. -

Welcome
Welcome to Saint Catherine of Alexandria Parish
As part of the Catholic Church, our parish endeavors to be the Lord’s own house for all who seek comfort, encouragement, peace, guidance and love. Here all can worship together. Each person is unique, and we believe that our differences enrich the community.
For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ (1 Corinthians 12:12).
We welcome you as members of our community. We encourage all who are already a part of our parish to continue to walk together in the service of others. No matter where you are on this journey – whether you have just heard the Lord’s call for the first time or if you have been away for some time, or if you have a thirst of God and desire to know more about your faith – you are indeed welcome at Saint Catherine.
What was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we looked upon and touched with our hands concerns the Word of life, for the life was made visible; we have seen it and testify to it and proclaim to you the eternal life that was with the Father and was made visible to us - what we have seen and heard we proclaim now to you, so that you too may have fellowship with us; for our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ. We are writing this so that our joy may be complete (1 John 1:1-4).

Weekly Reflection
FROM THE DESK OF FR. FRANCIS KALAW, PAROCHIAL VICAR.......
Gratitude is the Memory of the Heart
In our Sunday Gospel Jesus teaches us the value of gratitude and how often we forget or take it for granted in our lives. “Ten were cleansed, were they not? Where are the other nine?” (Lk. 17:17) Oftentimes we focus on what is missing, and forget to thank God for our blessings.
St. Mary Pelletier, a French saint, once said, “Gratitude is the memory of the heart.” If we can be grateful for everything and everyone in our life, blessed are we. If we can honestly say “Thank you, Lord!” to all that life has given or is giving us, good or bad, happy or sad, then we are free from regrets, worries, and fears.
A priest’s homily I recently heard gave a challenging question to his listeners using the analogy of “payback” and “hoarding.” People who live grateful lives are already on “payback” mode. While people who live stressful lives are still on “hoarding” mode. It is a choice each one of us can make today. Shall we hoard or payback?
Jesus tells the grateful leper, “Stand up and go, your faith has saved you.” (Lk. 17:19) These words from Jesus are the basis for a grateful life. It is faith and trust in God that make us say “Thank you, Lord!” no matter what. Why? Because we believe that God is a God who loves us and who knows what is best for us; a God who is in control of everything and of everyone. It is our faith in Him that frees us from our fears and helps us to stand up, go, and move on!
Therefore, let us count our blessings! How often have we heard this and yet do not practice it? It is worse than that when we simply count our blessings/money literally. Instead, we need to share our blessings. Or better yet, let us be a source of blessings to others!May our prayer be like that of St. Francis of Assisi, whose feast day we celebrate this month, “Most high, all-powerful, all-good Lord, All praise is yours, all glory, all honor, all blessings. Amen!”
