1. Welcome to our newest staff member
I am pleased to introduce Mrs. Janice Wilbert, the newest member of our parish staff. Mrs. Wilbert is serving as our Administrative Assistant, and you will see her in the parish office. I would like to share a few words that she has written to introduce herself to our parish family. “My name is Janice Wilbert. My husband and I live on a second-generation apple farm in the area with our three children. My husband grew up as a Holy Trinity parishioner and now we are blessed to be raising our children here in the parish. I am very grateful to be working within this wonderful faith community.”
2. October: The Holy Rosary, Respect for Life, and World Mission Sunday
The Catholic Church dedicates the month of October in a special way to the Holy Rosary and to the cause of Respect for Life. Therefore, our parish will offer Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament from October 19 through October 23, beginning at 9:00 a.m., after the 8:30 a.m. Mass, and continuing until 6:00 p.m. We will conclude our time of Adoration with Benediction. I invite you to come and spend time in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament, bringing our needs and intentions to the Lord, especially praying for the protection of all unborn children. If you are unable to attend Adoration in person, I encourage you to pray the Holy Rosary with this same intention. In addition to these special intentions for October, on October 18, the Church will celebrate World Mission Sunday. This is an opportunity for Catholics throughout the world to pray for and support the Church’s missionary work. Let us also remember the Church’s worldwide mission in our prayers and ask the Lord to strengthen all those who proclaim the Gospel around the world.
3. Children’s Mass – October 18
On October 18, we will celebrate our first Children’s Mass of the new school year at our 10:30 a.m. Mass. We have been celebrating this special Mass for our children for some time, but I would like to make it even more special for the Lord’s little ones. I ask parents to have their children come to the center of the church at the beginning of Mass. I want our children to be close to the altar so that they can see and experience more closely the beautiful mystery of the Eucharist as the bread and wine become the Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. At the Sign of Peace, the children will return to their families so that they can remain with you for Holy Communion. I hope that all parents will participate in this special Eucharistic celebration by encouraging their children to come forward and by experiencing together the wonderful gift of Holy Mass.
May this month of October be a time of many blessings for our parish family as we grow closer to Our Lord through prayer, the Eucharist, the Holy Rosary, and our service to others.
Remember, The Parish that we dream is the parish that I help to build!
God bless you, and may the Blessed Virgin Mary be with you always!

Twenty-seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time
Reading One: Isaiah 5:1-7
Let me now sing of my friend,
my friend's song concerning his vineyard.
My friend had a vineyard
on a fertile hillside;
he spaded it, cleared it of stones,
and planted the choicest vines;
within it he built a watchtower,
and hewed out a wine press.
Then he looked for the crop of grapes,
but what it yielded was wild grapes.
Now, inhabitants of Jerusalem and people of Judah,
judge between me and my vineyard:
What more was there to do for my vineyard
that I had not done?
Why, when I looked for the crop of grapes,
did it bring forth wild grapes?
Now, I will let you know
what I mean to do with my vineyard:
take away its hedge, give it to grazing,
break through its wall, let it be trampled!
Yes, I will make it a ruin:
it shall not be pruned or hoed,
but overgrown with thorns and briers;
I will command the clouds
not to send rain upon it.
The vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel,
and the people of Judah are his cherished plant;
he looked for judgment, but see, bloodshed!
for justice, but hark, the outcry!
Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 80:9, 12, 13-14, 15-16, 19-20
R. (Is 5:7a) The vineyard of the Lord is the house of Israel.
A vine from Egypt you transplanted;
you drove away the nations and planted it.
It put forth its foliage to the Sea,
its shoots as far as the River.
R. The vineyard of the Lord is the house of Israel.
Why have you broken down its walls,
so that every passer-by plucks its fruit,
The boar from the forest lays it waste,
and the beasts of the field feed upon it?
R. The vineyard of the Lord is the house of Israel.
Once again, O LORD of hosts,
look down from heaven, and see;
take care of this vine,
and protect what your right hand has planted,
the son of man whom you yourself made strong.
R. The vineyard of the Lord is the house of Israel.
Then we will no more withdraw from you;
give us new life, and we will call upon your name.
O LORD, God of hosts, restore us;
if your face shine upon us, then we shall be saved.
R. The vineyard of the Lord is the house of Israel.
Reading Two: Philippians 4:6-9
Brothers and sisters:
Have no anxiety at all, but in everything,
by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving,
make your requests known to God.
Then the peace of God that surpasses all understanding
will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
Finally, brothers and sisters,
whatever is true, whatever is honorable,
whatever is just, whatever is pure,
whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious,
if there is any excellence
and if there is anything worthy of praise,
think about these things.
Keep on doing what you have learned and received
and heard and seen in me.
Then the God of peace will be with you.
Alleluia: Cf. John 15:16
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
I have chosen you from the world, says the Lord,
to go and bear fruit that will remain.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
The Gospel: Matthew 21:33-43
"Hear another parable.
There was a landowner who planted a vineyard,
put a hedge around it, dug a wine press in it, and built a tower.
Then he leased it to tenants and went on a journey.
When vintage time drew near,
he sent his servants to the tenants to obtain his produce.
But the tenants seized the servants and one they beat,
another they killed, and a third they stoned.
Again he sent other servants, more numerous than the first ones,
but they treated them in the same way.
Finally, he sent his son to them, thinking,
'They will respect my son.'
But when the tenants saw the son, they said to one another,
'This is the heir.
Come, let us kill him and acquire his inheritance.'
They seized him, threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him.
What will the owner of the vineyard do to those tenants when he comes?"
They answered him,
"He will put those wretched men to a wretched death
and lease his vineyard to other tenants
who will give him the produce at the proper times."
Jesus said to them, "Did you never read in the Scriptures:
The stone that the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone;
by the Lord has this been done,
and it is wonderful in our eyes?
Therefore, I say to you,
the kingdom of God will be taken away from you
and given to a people that will produce its fruit."
Pope Leo XIV
From the Bishop
