We celebrate and honor the Saints during the month of October. Be a Saint and donate to the Thanksgiving Food Drive. The Thanksgiving Food Drive started last Sunday and continues through the 18th of November. Students are encouraged to bring canned and boxed food items (no glass) to the Parish Center and place them in the containers provided. Everyone’s participation is greatly appreciated. All the food that is collected will be distributed the Monday before Thanksgiving to families of the parish who need a little help at this time of year. Thanksgiving Food Baskets
The Confirmation students will host the annual Turkey Feather Pull in November. The students will create a large turkey on a bulletin board with lots of colorful feathers. Each feather will have a food item printed on it. Parishioners are invited and encouraged
to pluck a feather from the turkey, purchase the item listed, and return that item to the church office no later than 9am on Sunday, November 22nd. Many of the items will require refrigeration so it is best to bring those items to the parish hall on Saturday, Nov. 21st, or Sunday, Nov. 22nd. The food items will make up the Thanksgiving food baskets which the Confirmation students will assemble the morning of the 22nd. The baskets will be available for the families to pick up on Monday, Nov. 23rd. Please contact the church office if you or a family you know needs a food basket for Thanksgiving. Families must sign
up no later than November 8th. Please contact the church office by November 8th to fill out a request form. Children’s Christmas Eve Mass and Pageant The annual Children’s Christmas Eve Mass and Pageant will take place on Thursday, Dec. 24th, at 4pm. Children are encouraged to sign up to be one of the characters in the pageant. The characters include Mary, Joseph, the 3 Maji (wisemen), angels and shepherds. The children will dress in costume and participate in the pageant as an adult narrates the Christmas story. The children do not speak. There will be two practices for the pageant, and the children must attend both practices. The dates for those practices will be announced in the next week. To sign your child up for the pageant, please contact Susan Warner in the Religious Education office. _____________________________________________________
Thirty-First Week of Ordinary Time
On the Thirty-First Sunday in Ordinary Time, we celebrate the Solemnity of All Saints. From the Book of Revelation we read of “a great multitude” that stood before God. “These are the ones who have survived the time of great distress...” Matthew’s Gospel offers us the Beatitudes: simple words but challenging teachings.
Monday is the Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed (All Souls) and Wednesday is the Memorial of Saint Charles Borromeo, Bishop.
During the regular readings this week, we conclude a four-week series of first readings from Paul's Letter to the Romans. He reminds us, “Who has known the mind of the Lord?”
In the Gospel according to Luke we see Jesus living out his daily life with challenging honesty. He calls us to extend an invitation out of our hearts, not with an eye on an invitation in return: “invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind.” Then Jesus tells the parable of the invited guests who made excuses to decline the invitation. He sends his servants to invite everyone. Jesus tells a crowd that they have to renounce their possessions to be his disciple and that to do something really important, we have to prepare and be ready. When the religious leaders complain, “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them,” Jesus tells parables of the man who finds his lost sheep and the woman with the lost coin, both of whom rejoice in finding what was lost. A steward protects himself by pardoning those who owe his master. We end the week
ALL SAINTS/SOLEMNIDAD DE TODOS LOS SANTOS
with Jesus asking which is more important, God or money. “No servant can serve two masters.” EN VIDA, HERMANO, EN VIDA
Si quieres hacer feliz a alguien que quieres mucho, dícelo HOY, sé muy bueno… En vida, hermano, en vida. Si deseas dar una flor, no esperes a que se mueran, mándala HOY con amor… En vida, hermano, en vida. Si deseas decir: “Te quiero” a la gente de tu casa, al amigo, cerca o lejos… En vida, hermano, en vida. No esperes a que se muera la gente, para quererla y hacerle sentir tu afecto… En vida, hermano, en vida. Tú serás muy feliz si aprendes a hacer felices a todos los que conozcas… En vida, hermano, en vida. Nunca visites panteones ni llenes tumbas de flores; llena de amor corazones… En vida, hermano, en vida.
