RESPECT LIFE SUNDAY
Today, dioceses across the United States will observe Respect Life Sunday. Begun in 1972, the Respect Life program brings Church teaching on the value and dignity of human life to the Catholic community and wider public. The program combines education, prayer, service and advocacy. Respect Life Sunday is observed in virtually all of the 195 Catholic dioceses in the United States. This year's theme is taken from Luke's Gospel (1:44), "The infant in my womb leaped for joy." This passage from the visitation story reflects Elizabeth's joy and amazement on being greeted by her cousin Mary when Elizabeth and her unborn child John recognize they were in the presence of the unborn Jesus. The biblical theme contrasts their sense of awe at the unborn child with contemporary society's view of the human embryo as a mere commodity that can be created, manipulated, or even destroyed for research purposes. - (from Diocese of Buffalo Web Site www.BuffaloDiocese.org)

LIFE CHAIN 2007
Join us Today, Sunday, October 7th, and be part of the LIFE CHAIN! Life Chain is a silent, prayerful, non-violent protest against abortion, which is held every year in locations throughout the country. It is a powerful witness to many that, though silent, we are willing to state our beliefs publicly without shame. We stand along Niagara Falls Blvd. holding signs stating that "Abortion Kills Children" for one hour from 2:00-3:00 pm. Our new location will now be directly across from the Mall on Niagara Falls Blvd. Please park on side streets (not parking lots) and assemble in front of the now closed Krispy Kreme location at 1:45 pm. Signs will be distributed from there. Questions, please call Kathy 839-9223.

PERPETUAL ADORATION
Next weekend, there will be a speaker at every Mass, inviting you to participate in the Ministry of Perpetual Adoration. We have been blessed at Christ the King Church with a Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration Chapel since June, 2000. The Adoration Chapel is located at the top of the stairs, when entering the Church at the archway between the Church and the School. These doors are unlocked from approximately 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. daily, and 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 pm on Saturday. Please feel free to make a visit to the Chapel. You do not need to be a scheduled adorer in order to come and pray. However, don't be afraid to take a fixed hour.
"You have nothing whatsoever to fear from Him. Get up. He is calling you!" - Mark 10:50

ANOTHER REASON FOR WANTING TO SPEND
ONE HOUR WITH JESUS IN THE BLESSED SACRAMENT:
"For I know well the plans I have in mind for you, says the Lord, plans for your welfare not for woe! Plans to give you a future full of hope. When you call me, when you go to pray to me, I will listen to you. When you look for men, you will find me. " - Jeremiah 29:11-13

PERPETUAL ADORATION
We have been blessed at Christ the King Church with a Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration Chapel since June, 2000. The Adoration Chapel is located at the top of the stairs, when entering the Church at the archway between the Church and the School. These doors are unlocked from approximately 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. daily, and 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 pm on Saturday. Please consider becoming a scheduled adorer in our beautiful Chapel. It is only by the dedication of volunteers that the Chapel remains open for all parishioners 24/7. Each hour should have at least two prayer partners so that if one is sick or on vacation the hour will still be covered. Listed below are the hours where we need adorers. Won't you join in the unceasing prayer of the parishioners of Christ the King parish? Thank you for your prayerful consideration.
"You have nothing whatsoever to fear from Him. Get up. He is calling you!" - Mark 10:50

INVITATION TO PERPETUAL ADORATION
Yes, I am willing to spend one hour once a week with Jesus,
who is truly present in the Blessed Sacrament

PASTORAL COUNSELING
Pastoral Counseling is a specialized extension of the Church's ministry of pastoral care. It combines counseling skill with a sensitive attention to the religious dimension of life. I believe that each person is a physical, cognitive, emotional and spiritual being. Personal problems can create excessive stress in daily living in one or more of these areas. Are you struggling in your marriage? Anxious, stressed, depressed, grieving? Are you concerned about alcohol, drugs, or sexual problems in yourself or someone you love? If these or other issues are of concern, you are welcome to call for an appointment. Sliding fee scale. Call Michele Jackson, OSF at 390-9836.

LEARN RELAXATION TECHNIQUES
Individuals who cope with Chronic Pain, anxiety, panic, heart disease & other health issues typically share a common frustration - the desire to feel better. Learn to use your own internal resources to better manage health issues by enrolling in a class offered by Catholic Charities where you will be taught relaxation and meditative techniques to cultivate your well being. Call Deborah Asfour at 839-4066 for more information.

Dear Fellow Parishioners,
Hospitality involves giving something of ourselves to others. Our parish is in the process of expanding our Outreach Ministry. Parish Outreach in the past was primarily involved with bringing communion to the sick. We will continue to address this need. We want to expand our Outreach Ministry in order to build a greater sense of community and hospitality at Christ the King Parish. At this time, we are looking for people who could make phone calls to welcome new parishioners to some of the events that our parish is sponsoring. We would also like help with setting up refreshments at these events. This is a very light commitment and would help us out and be greatly appreciated by our parish community. If you are interested in helping with this ministry please contact Nancy Burns, our Outreach Coordinator, at 839-1430 or e-mail Nancy at Outreach@citsnyder.com.
With Christ's Peace,
Renée Villa
Pastoral Associate
