Sunday in Ordinary Time “I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all the other contributors to the

treasury. For they all contributed out of their abundance; but she out of her poverty

has put in everything she had, her whole living.” MARK 12:43-44

Jesus gets right to the point – we are all called to give money to support the mission

of the Church, regardless of our circumstance. No gift is too small or insignificant!

Giving money to support the mission of our local parish is a matter of our faith, just

like praying and participating in parish ministries. When you make a financial offer-

ing, is it from your “first fruits” or from what is “left over”?

EUCHARISTIC ADORATION /

Prayers for Increased Vocations

The Diocese of Madison has initiated a program to increase call-

ings to religious life. The initial phase of that program is for each

parish to establish time for its members to pray for increased voca-

tions, while in the presence of the Holy Eucharist. Sacred Heart participates

by offering an hour of prayer and Eucharistic Adoration before the 5:15 p.m.

Mass on the 3rd

Saturday of every month, from 4:00 pm – 5:00 p.m. Please

come pray with us. Incense will be used.

PASTORAL MINISTRY

DEACON TOM

"To convert somebody, go and take them by the hand

and guide them." — St. Thomas Aquinas

"To put into practice the teachings of our holy faith, it is

not enough to convince ourselves that they are true; we

must love them. Love united to faith makes us practice

our religion." — St. Alphonsus Liguori

"Even when God's will does not correspond to your

own desires, it is always beneficial for you."

— St. Arnold Janssen

A note from Deacon Tom:

Tom wanted you to know that the surgery went well and

he is continuing with his recovery time. He wants to say

thanks for the parish community and for all the prayers.

Did you know there are

many ways you can

support Sacred Heart?

Help Support Sacred Heart by

Making a Special Gift

Did you know that you can make a charitable gift that also

benefits you in a practical way? A Charitable Gift Annuity is a

donation you make to our parish, yet you will receive a pay-

ment for the rest of your life! Plus, you may receive a charita-

ble tax deduction and reduced capital gains taxes. Ultimately

your gift will support our parish, while supporting you during

your lifetime. For more information, contact your legal or fi-

nancial advisor or the parish office, for assistance.

MUSIC

ANDREA SORENSON

The Patron Saint of Music In honoring the saints this

month, we again look at the

life of St. Cecilia, the patron

saint of music. St Cecilia,

also spelled Cecily, has her

feast day on November 22nd

She was born a noble wom-

an in Rome in the 3rd century. As a child, she vowed

herself to God. She was forced into marriage but with

the help of an angel managed to remain a virgin and

convert both her husband and his brother. All three of

the them were martyred. Before she was burned to death,

she gave all of her possessions to the poor.

Next Choir Rehearsal:

Thursday, November 15th

7:15-8:45 p.m. NO CHOIR REHEARSAL

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 22nd

.

We are still looking for volunteers for in-

strumentalists and vocalists for the holiday

season Christmas Masses! Please share your

musical gift and talent with others by volun-

teering. Call the parish office or email music@sacred-

heart-online.org

ST. VINCENT DE PAUL SOCIETY

Our next meeting is at the store:

675 South Albert Ave on

November 13 @ 5:15 p.m. (New Time)

November 11-Thirty-Second Sunday in Ordinary Time:

In today’s Gospel Jesus tells us: “I want you to observe that

this poor widow contributed more than all the others who do-

nated to the treasury. They gave from their surplus wealth,

but she gave from her want, all that she had to live on.”

Ask yourself “Am I only giving from my surplus

wealth?” and then put your gift in the Society of St.

Vincent de Paul poor box so that those who are suffer-

ing will be able to know God’s love and care.

** This past month we helped 2 families with food, 14 gas

vouchers, 7 families with rent, 5 families with motel vouchers,

8 with utility bills, and 21 store vouchers for clothing, etc.

JUSTICE & PEACE

Veterans Day – Words from Others “It takes courage for a soldier to risk life and limb for his

country. The least we civilians can do is to honor these

heroes. That is the basis for Veterans’ Day celebration-

to venerate these great men and women with words of

appreciation.” Simran Khurana

“This country has not seen and probably will never

know the true level of sacrifice of our veterans. As a

civilian, I owe an unpayable debt to all our military.

Let’s all take a remembrance for all veterans who served

or are serving, peacetime or wartime and gone or still

with us.” -Thomas Smith.

“Serving my country was a life-changing experience for

me. It was during those years that I realize the im-

portance of commitment, dedication, honor, and disci-

pline. I have never laughed so much; nor have I prayed

so much. I made life-long friends. The leaders and he-

roes I served with helped shape me into the man I am

today. I feel honored to have been a part of such a great

tradition and grateful to others who have walked the

same path.” Steve Maraboli

“Damn the wars but bless the soldiers.” T.L. Moffitt

“Lord, bid war’s trumpet cease; Fold the earth in peace.”

Oliver Wendell Holmes

“If we don’t end war,war will end us. “H.G.Welles

“It is not enough to win a war; it is more important to

organize the peace.” Aristotle

“We pray that soon the sons and daughters, grandsons

and granddaughters will sit at a peace table to resolve

conflicts rather than to fight on a battle field.” A Justice

and Peace Member

Sacred Heart’s Mission Statement

Manifest God’s Love in Our World

Through Worship – Education – Evangelization –

Stewardship – Ministry – Fellowship – Forgiveness

National Vocation Awareness Through our prayers for an increase in vocations, may the

Lord grant us priests, deacons, and consecrated brothers

and sisters to help spread the Gospel throughout our dio-

cese, The United States, and the world. We encourage par-

ents to speak lovingly to their children about the joys and

rewards of serving Christ in His Church. If anyone has

questions on vocational discernment, please contact Rev.

Gregory Ihm, Director of Vocations, at 608-821-3095 or

vocations @ madisondiocese.org.

The Main Catholic Vocations A vocation is a call from God to pursue holiness in a spe-

cific way, involving a public and permanent commitment.

Marriage: Most people are called to marriage – a vowed

union of a man and woman who promise to love their

spouses and to joyfully welcome children.

Priesthood: Priests bring Jesus to people and people to

Jesus through preaching and the sacraments. They are or-

dained to devote their lives to serve the people of God.

Consecrated Life: Both men and women make vows of

poverty, chastity, and obedience when they join orders such

as the Franciscans, Benedictines, Dominicans, etc.

Reedsburg Area Helping Hands will be

helping families in need during the holidays by

providing each of those families with a special

meal. To help us with that endeavor, we invite

you to bring a frozen turkey (11 lbs. or more) to

the parking lot of Sacred Heart Church on the weekend of

Nov. 17-18 (4:30-5:00 p.m. on Saturday, November 17; or

7:30 – 8:00 a.m. and 9:30 -10:30 a.m. on Sunday, Novem-

ber 18).

Someone will be on the driveway in front of the church

doors to load the turkeys into a vehicle. If you prefer not to

bring a turkey, Helping Hands is grateful for a check to

help support this effort. If you prefer to give a donation by

check, please make it out to Reedsburg Area Helping

Hands and mail it to 624 N. Willow St., Reedsburg, WI

53959. All donations are tax deductible. If you have any

questions, call Deacon Ron at 608- 524-4187.

Reedsburg Area Helping Hands has just

begun its annual Christmas Drive, which is an

effort to help the children of families in need

close to home. And, of course, it could not be

done without YOU. Mitten tags are posted on

the easel in the vestibule. If you would like to help a child

who may not be as fortunate as others, choose a mitten,

shop for the item requested, and return it to the box provid-

ed by Dec.1. We ask that you do not gift-wrap the item—simply attach the mitten tag and return it to our box.

Thank you for your generosity.
