NOVEMBER 13, 2016——THIRTY-THIRD SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
November Calendar Both Middle and High School Students gather after the
5:30 p.m. Life Teen Mass. Edge Nights (6th- 8th grade) will gather upstairs in the Youth Room and Life Nights (9th – 12th grade) will gather in the Community Center. The sessions will begin at 6:30 p.m. and end at 8:00 p.m.
Attendance will be taken each Sunday evening! 13th – Edge – “Go Preach It” – The goal of this night is to help the youth understand what it means when we pro-fess the Church as Apostolic. LifeTeen – “Four Marks of the Church: APOS-TOLIC” – The goal of this night is to help the teens under-stand the authority handed down from Jesus to Peter and his successors. Teens will also learn about the great com-missioning in Matthew 28:19-20 and how it is maintained through the hierarchal structure of the Church. 20th – NO EDGE OR LIFE TEEN DUE TO THANKSGIVING BREAK 27th – Edge – “Ready or Not- Here HE Comes” – The middle school youth will come to a greater understanding of the Season of Advent and what Catholics do in prepara-tion for Christmas and the Second Coming of Christ. LifeTeen – “Wait for It” – The goal of this night is to help teens understand the purpose of Advent and what Christ is calling them to as they prepare for Christmas. This night will give them practical, concrete ways to pray the four weeks of Advent. —Ashlie Moran, [email protected], 863-1610

Our 4th Saint Movie Sunday (Saint Maria Goretti) will be
on Sunday, December 4 in the school of religious education building immediately following SRE at 11:30am. This powerful
new feature film tells the dramatic and tragic story of the be-loved saint of modern youth who died defending her purity at the hands of a knife-wielding attacker, Alessandro Serenelli.
Actress Martina Pinto gives an inspirational and luminous per-formance as St. Maria Goretti, revealing the deep spiritual life, great courage and profound charity, that the young saint had.
Running time is 1 hour, 45 minutes. We will have popcorn and drinks!!! Bring your family and friends…
*Mark your calendars! We are hosting an Advent Family Life Night on Sunday, December 4th. We want the families of Life Teen and Edge teens to join us as we prepare for the season of Advent with our night titled, “Hopeful Anticipation”. Fami-lies are encouraged to attend and the goal of this night is to ex-amine how the hopeful anticipation of Advent compares to their own feelings regarding their hopes and dreams for the future. Families will end the night together in Eucharistic adoration.
We will continue rehearsing for our CHRISTMAS PAGEANT in the church. See rehearsal schedule below. Please encourage your children to participate in the Christmas Pageant to help all of us prepare for the celebration of Christmas.

The children will be separated into boy groups and girl groups and the lessons will be taught for 30 minutes during SRE class time.
