Have you ever wished you could ask Jesus a queson? What would it be? 2. Jesus condenses the commandments down to 2; does this make it easier to live the commandments for you? How? 3. The scribe seems to get it. Do you? Sellersburg/Speed Sugar Welcome to St. John Paul II Catholic Church New Parishioners: William (Jr.) & Heather Baird Carleen Wagner and her grandson Jaxton Sharp Anthony McKinley Upcoming Holiday Schedules: Wednesday, November 21 7:00pm Sellersburg Ecumenical Calvary Chrisan Church (605 S. Norman Drive, Sellersburg); Fr Tom presiding Thursday, November 22 9:00am Mass St. Paul Note: No Eucharisc adoraon the week of Thanksgiving (November 20-23); regular hours resume Tuesday, November 27th. Dear Friends, Every so o,en on the game show Jeopardy, they have a category called potpourri. It is a category of unused quesons from other various categories on the show. In short, it s a mix of many things. This le1er is potpourri as well a mix of many things. First of all, a few dates to make sure you get on your calendar. The first is a Parish Assembly to unveil the architect s renderings for our new worship space (church building). The date is Sunday, January 27, 2019 at 3:00pm and will be held in the gym on the St. Paul Campus following the school open house. Come over and tour the school and then sck around for the meeng. Second, November is always a month for giving thanks. We will have two opportunies later this month to do so. One is our Thanksgiving Day (Nov. 22) Mass at 9:00am at the St. Paul ; the other is the Sellersburg Speed Ministerial Associaon Ecumenical Thanksgiving Prayer Service. That event is held on Thanksgiving Eve (Nov 21) at 7:00pm at Calvary Chrisan Church, 605 Norman Drive in Sellersburg. Hopefully you can join us for one, or both of them. Finally, I am a big fan of Dave Ramsey and his program called Financial Peace University. We have a few people finishing the class right now at our parish. I also listen a lot to his radio program (although I do it as a podcast). He recently had a single mother stop by his office to do her "debt free" scream. I don't remember the numbers (as in how much she paid off and what amount of me it took her), but what I do remember about the call is this: She was wearing a T shirt that said, "Actually...I can" and her two children were wearing T shirts as well. One said, "Why I can" and the other said, "Why I will." When asked about the shirts, she stated that as she was going through the process, people would o,en tell her she wouldn't be able to do it. Eventually, she just began answering them with the words, "Actually...I can" and then she would pull out a picture of her oldest child and say, "This is why I can." Then she would pull out a picture of her younger child and say, "And this is why I will." I was struck by that. It reminded me of the importance of purpose...a reason for doing whatever we do. I would say this young woman had a pre1y strong purpose! In Christ s Love, Fr. Tom Clegg Pastor

Hands Across Hai Annual Fund Drive The St. John Paul II Hai Commiee works year-round to journey with and assist our sister parish, the Bayeux-Novion Parish in Hai.

We invite all parishioners to consider a gi7 of $25 to this fund. Even if you already sponsor a student, any donaon would be extremely helpful to us as we assist them.
