Remember our beloved dead
November is usually the time where we especially remember our
beloved dead through prayers and offerings of Masses. ALL
SOULS’ DAY envelopes will be available next weekend at all
church exits for you to fill out. Masses are said for the souls in
purgatory for the entire month of November and thereafter. Drop
envelopes in the basket found in front of the altar. “May the souls
of all the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace.
Amen”.
Computers: If you have computers in good condition but rarely
needed. Please bring them to church so that Fr. Vic can send them
to poor, rural schools in the Philippines early next year.
Syrian Refugee Family Updates: It is with very great satisfaction
and gratitude that the West Parry Sound Refugee Program, today
can report that our two Syrian families have completed their 12
months first stage of integration into our community. This has been
achieved by your generous help, in time resources and monetary
contributions. Also the program received outstanding help from
other parishes and many local businesses and individuals. The
Chahids and the Abboud families are now both in permanent
housing and three of the parents have found full or temporary
employment. All children are in school or day care. While our
support program has been completed, many program members are
still very much involved in assisting the families with
transportation, language education, and medical help. Some of our
program people have also become more than just support, and have
meshed genuine friendships. Your support over the past 26 months
has brought to fruition a project that all of us can be very pleased
with. While this first phase has been completed, we are proceeding
to bring a third family into our community, this time under the
guidance of Dr. Derek George his wife and help from Pamela
Muma. The West Parry Sound Refugee Program extends our
sincere thanks, blessings and good will to all, as we approach
Christmas. Thank you, Jack Reck.
Missals 2017/18 are now available in the narthex! Secure a copy
for yourself and meditate on the readings as a way to prepare
yourself for the Sunday Eucharistic celebration. Suggested
donation is $5.00. Good item for Christmas gift!

scale that concerted international action is urgently required. In
order to address this situation, Canada launched the Myanmar
Crisis Relief Fund on October 31, 2017. For every eligible
donation made by individuals to registered Canadian charities
before November 28, 2017, the Government of Canada will
contribute an equivalent amount to the Myanmar Crisis Relief
Fund.

Gospel Matthew 25.14-30 www.loyolapress.com Jesus tells the parable of the talents, in which he teaches about the
importance of using the gifts that God has given to us in service to
the Kingdom of Heaven.
Gospel Reflection
This week’s Gospel speaks of how Jesus’ disciples are to conduct
themselves as they await the Kingdom of Heaven. In the preceding
passages and in last week’s Gospel, Jesus taught that there is no
way to predict the coming of the Kingdom of Heaven. His disciples
must, therefore, remain vigilant and ready to receive the Son of
Man at any time. Jesus’ parable talks about Christian discipleship
using economic metaphors. Before he leaves on a journey, the
master entrusts to his servants a different number of talents, giving
to each according to their abilities. A talent is a coin of great value.
Upon the master’s return, he finds that the first and second servants
have doubled their money, and both are rewarded. The third
servant, however, has only preserved what was given to him
because he was afraid to lose the money. He has risked nothing; he
did not even deposit the money in a bank to earn interest. This
servant is punished by the master, and his talent is given to the one
who brought the greatest return. Read in light of last week’s
parable of the wise and foolish bridesmaids, this parable teaches
that God’s judgment will be based on the service we render to God
and to one another in accordance with the gifts that God has given
to us. Our gifts, or talents, are given to us for the service of others.
If we fail to use these gifts, God’s judgment on us will be severe.
On the other hand, if we make use of these gifts in service to the
Kingdom of Heaven, we will be rewarded and entrusted with even
more responsibilities. This Gospel reminds us that Christian
spirituality is not passive or inactive. Our life of prayer helps us to
discern the gifts that have been given to us by God. This prayer and
discernment ought to lead us to use our gifts in the service of God
and our neighbor. God’s grace allows us to share in the work of
serving the Kingdom of Heaven.
Needed: If you happen to have slightly used summer sports
equipment like baseballs, basketballs, softballs, volleyballs, tennis
rackets, etc., that you want to share with, kindly bring them, to the
church. Fr. Vic will send them to the schools in the Philippines.
