CYO News The CYO had its first Bible Night: CYO Presents Great Stories of the Bible, this past Thursday night. Our production was hosted and directed by senior Liam Sittig who with Meghan Cattani, Thomas Fury, Sarah DeMaria, Kyle Rotante and Joseph Gisoldi were our readers. Monsignor Sean was kind enough to give an overview of the Bible—its origin, writers, purpose, and how to read it and apply it to our lives. At our monthly gatherings, he will also be giving a reflection on the themes of the passages our CYO members read. Monsignor has always been an excellent teacher of the Bible. In his homilies he often gives the Biblical history of the readings as well as important information about the Biblical figures themselves. This past Monday for example, on the Feast of St. Luke, he gave a very informative overview of both the Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles (also written by Luke.) Anyone can attend our Bible nights. They will also be livestreamed so that people at home can watch. Our next Bible Nights are scheduled for November 11th and December 16th. They will be from 7-8 PM. The CYO will meet this Sunday, October 24th, at 7:30 PM. There will be no meeting on Halloween but many of our CYO members will be participating in CYO Operation Halloween Feed the Hungry. If you wish to participate in this service event, please contact Mrs. Reilly and she will give you the form you will need. Many thanks to all who attended our CYO Bible Night including all those watching from home. A very special thanks to Monsignor Sean for all his support and guidance. #613 7 10/24/2021
