Americans have an uncomfortable relationship with kings. The American Revolution was fought for independence from King George, after all. Nonetheless, today every Catholic church around the world celebrates the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe. Today’s feast invites us to look beyond our national loyalties and rejoice in our primary identity. We are children of God in Jesus, Christ the King. Our readings help us consider what it’s like to belong to God’s king-dom. The book of Samuel captures the deep longing of the Israel-ites for a king to shepherd them. Saint Paul reminds the Colos-sians that we belong to the kingdom of Christ, whose power he praises in a beautiful hymn. Finally, Luke’s Gospel calls to mind the kind of king Jesus chooses to be, a suffering servant, a man for others. By sacrificing his life for us, Jesus throws open the gates of Paradise. Happy Thanksgiving! Fr. Frank

ANNUAL PARISH CHRISTMAS ART SHOW & SALE
This year's parish Art Show will take place on the weekend after Thanksgiving at the Kavin Center. The dates are Friday 11/29, Saturday 11/30, and Sunday 12/1 with viewing being from noon to 7PM on those days. You are invited to view a se-lection of artwork from your fellow pa-rishioners. All of the award-winning art-ists have seriously pursued their craft and
have exhibited their work in nationally renowned venues as both amateurs and professionals. This year we will feature the works of: Nora Winn, a water-colorist, www.norawinn.com, who has won awards in juried shows throughout the northeast. Nora has exhib-ited and has been accepted to several organizations for watercol-orists including the famed Salmagundi Club in NYC. Carolyn Palmer, a sculptor,www.palmersculptures.com,whose bronze busts of the popes reside at St. Patrick's Cathedral in NYC. Carolyn has been commissioned to sculpt the likenesses of Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt, the Wright Brothers, and various other dignitaries. One of her most interesting works is the redux of the infamous Lucille Ball statute into a beautiful and lifelike work of art, an event in the national news. Carolyn will exhibit some of her miniature bronze works. Laura Paray, an oil painter, www.lauraparay.com. Laura is also an instructor at the famed Ridgewood Art Institute. She is known for her beautiful landscapes and seascapes as they capture the light flowing over the scene. Bob Rizzotti, a long-time oil painter who has shown his works at many art shows throughout the region. Bob specializes in magnif-icent and bright scenes of places throughout the world, perhaps some that hold wonderful memories for you. John Grisoni, an oil painter who specializes in landscapes and still lifes. John has shown his work throughout the region and has won several awards at juried shows. He is particularly fond of scenes in our own Hudson River Valley. All paintings are framed and ready to be hung. There are varied sizes from small, medium, and large to suit any taste and decor. Many would make the unique Christmas gift of an original artwork. A portion of each sale goes to St. Gabriel parish. Feel free to contact John Grisoni at [email protected] for further information.
