Diocese marks Bishop Peter Jugis’ 20th anniversaryBishop Peter Jugis quietly celebrated the 20th anniversary of his episcopal ordination Tuesday with a Mass of Thanksgiving that included a homily centered around one of his favorite topics: the importance of the Eucharist. ¬ About 30 people were happily surprised to see Bishop Jugis as he observed this milestone by offering the usual daily Mass Oct. 24 at St. Patrick Cathedral. Mass was celebrated in the temporary chapel at St. Patrick Cathedral’s Family Life Center due to construction work inside the cathedral.

Annual Wedding Anniversary MassLarry and Carolyn Keith of Charlotte have celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary at two different St. Patrick’s Cathedrals this year – first in July in New York City and then on Sunday, when they joined couples from around the Diocese of Charlotte at St. Patrick Cathedral for the annual Wedding Anniversary Mass. The special liturgy celebrated by Bishop Peter Jugis offered couples celebrating 25 and 50 years of marriage a chance to renew their commitment to each other and receive a special blessing for the future of their marriages. The event drew couples of all ages, many with children and others with family members and friends. Couples held hands and looked into each others’ eyes often during the liturgy.

As we anticipate ALL SAINTS and ALL SOULS DAYS at the beginning of November, our thoughts turn to our deceased loved ones. We remember them for all the good that they did for us and all the benefits that we received from them. We are asked to pray for all the dearly departed, that God will welcome them into eternal joy. We pray that “PERPETUAL LIGHT WILL SHINE ON THEM." You are invited to remember deceased loved ones during the nine days Novena Prayers, from October 24 – November 2. AS WE REMEMBER OUR DEPARTED LOVED ONES, WE CAN TAKE COMFORT THAT THERE IS SOMETHING WE CAN DO. We can cherish their memories and ask God to shower HIS MERCY on them. Let us join with our Brothers and Sisters-in-Christ, who pray with confidence, “ETERNAL REST GRANT UNTO THEM, O LORD. MAY YOUR PERPETUAL LIGHT SHINE UPON THEM." Pray The Holy Rosary DailyNovember 1: All Saints—SolemnityNovember 2: All Souls Day—Commemoration |

 October Monthly Member Newsletter
Hi CCDOC Human Trafficking Awareness Committee and friends,
I attended the 10th Anniversary conference with the US Catholic Sisters Against Human Trafficking last week and it was amazing! See all the details in their October newsletter below including information on Fair Trade month! I will be sending a sample article/bulletin post about Fair & Ethical Trade in a separate email.
**First of all, please note the USCSAHT announced their new name: Alliance to End Human Trafficking. Please watch the attached Video regarding their 10th Year Anniversary and the evolution of this great organization, and what they are planning next to help lead us all in putting an End to Human Trafficking!
*Also please note the upcoming Labor Trafficking Webinar on October 10th which you may share with your ministries and outreach groups. This crime happens all through the United States, as well as globally.
Thank you!
