--ANOTHER INVITATION FROM THE DIOCESE OF FORT WORTH 
The "White Mass" for those in Medical Fields will be celebrated  Monday, Oct. 15, 2018,  beginning at 6:30 p.m. in St. Patrick Cathedral. This beautiful mass celebrates the importance of the special vocation physicians, dentists, surgeons, nurses, aides, therapists, and other health care professionals have chosen.
The Mass will be celebrated by Most Reverend Michael F. Olson, Bishop of Fort Worth. As one of the "On Call" Catholic Chaplains for the Diocese, Father Stainbrook will also be on the Altar at this mass. 
A reception will be held in the Cathedral Pastoral Center immediately following the Mass. Any and all St. John Vianney parishioners (and their family members)  who work in the medical field are encouraged to attend, and to wear their white coats or uniforms at this celebration.

-- The beloved  SAINT MICHAEL PRAYER becomes a regular prayer at Mass at St. John Vianney Church
 
“Sancte Michael Archangele, defende nos in proelio; contra nequitiam et insidias diaboli esto praesidium. Imperet illi Deus, supplices deprecamur: tuque, Princeps militiae caelestis, Satanam aliosque spiritus malignos, qui ad perditionem animarum pervagantur in mundo, divina virtute, in infernum detrude. Amen”.
[Saint Michael Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil; may God rebuke him, we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl through the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen]. 
Bishop Lopes has asked all churches in the Ordinariate, and Bishop Olson has asked all churches in his Diocese of Fort Worth, to begin including the St. Michael Prayer at all celebrations. The St. Michael Prayer  will be included at the end of all Masses (following the Last Gospel) at St. John Vianney Church, beginning thi Sunday. Holy Cards with this prayer are available in the "Book Nook" (along with several other new items!) 

 
--The  Monday Night Book Club is reading " THE POWER OF SILENCE" by Cardinal Robert Sarah. All are welcome!  For more information, please see Book Club Coordinators Tex Ann Quimby or Phil Kastner after Mass.

COFFEE TIME AT SJV after Mass 
We are looking for some additional families to undertake this very important ministry of hospitality on Sunday mornings (Some wags have even called "Coffee Hour" the 8th Sacrament!)  The more families who volunteer, the fewer Sundays each family must shoulder -- if you and your family can help, please see COFFEE HOUR COORDINATOR, EARL LUTZ after Mass.
