NIC NOTES
Dear Parishioners,
The Holy Rosary is a mainstream method of prayer in the Catholic Church. It is important
that everyone knows how to pray the Rosary. In particular, it is important that our children
learn this time honored prayer. It is not only important that they learn it, but even more
importantly that they pray it. I would strongly encourage all of our families to pray the Holy
Rosary as a family. Many people seem to be able to make time for everything but the essentials –
Holy Mass and Prayer. As a family, perhaps you could begin saying a decade every day. Below is a
guide to help you.
May God, through the intercession of St. Helena, bless us.
Love and Prayers, Msgr. Nicolo

Memorials for the Week of October 18, 2015
One of the highlights of the RCIA process is the
Rite of Welcoming. This Sunday at the 9am
mass we will be welcoming Pablo Botero and
Maciej Okulicz-Kozaryn into the process which
will culminate in their full initiation into the
Church on the Sunday after Easter, Devine
Mercy Sunday. Please keep them in your prayers and should you see them outside in the
grocery, school or wherever, don’t hesitate to
say hello. St. Helena parishioners do things
like that.
The Sanctuary Candle in the Church burns this
week in memory of Betsy Mace the request of Bill
& Donna Matoney.
The Sanctuary Candle in the Chapel burns this
week in memory of Helen & James Sweeney at

O my Jesus, by the intercession of Mary, Your
mother, who bore You so lovingly and of St. Joseph, strong man of faith, who protected You both, I
pray to You for the life of the unborn child I have
spiritually adopted, who is in danger of abortion.
Please give the parents of this child the grace and
courage they need to bring their baby to birth.
Amen.
