2 33rd Sunday In Ordinary Time What s the buzz Tell me what s happening...? Next Thursday is the feast of our Patron Saint Elizabeth of Hungary. In her honor to celebrate we will be hosting a luncheon today for all parishioners. Come down to the parish center after the 10:30 mass. We will also have a couple of books on display with information and pictures from the castle where she lived in Germany. St Elizabeth was a Hungarian Princess who moved to Germany at the age of 4 upon her betrothal. She was married at age 14 and widowed at the age of 20 while pregnant with her 3 rd child. St. Elizabeth spent her days caring for the sick and feeding the poor. Upon the death of her husband, she renounced her title and took vows of poverty using all of her money to build a hospital in Germany. St. Elizabeth died just four years later at the age of 24. She was canonized in 1235, 4 years after her death. Bible classes have begun last week with Father Martin and Judy Rodderick. It's not too late to join if you missed the first class, you are welcome to come Tuesday evening or Wednesday morning! Consider joining and make some additional connections in the parish!

4 News Around Town During the month of November, St. Elizabeth will be collecting canned goods to be distributed to Feed My People. This is a good way to help those who are hungry and to give thanks to God for all of the blessings that we have received. A container will be located at the entrance of the church by the double doors. Our Lord loves a generous giver. Look for the GIVING TREE in the lobby of the church the weekends of November 21/22 and November 28/29. Please consider taking an ornament or two and return the gift (UNWRAPPED) listed on the ornament by the weekend of December 5/6. The gifts will be taken to Circle of Concern, for their Christmas gift program for their families. Circle of Concern is located in Valley Park. It is a food pantry and provides assistance to families in the area. The Christmas gift program provides toys and gifts to approximately 300 children up to age 16. This includes age-appropriate gifts, toys, hats and gloves, socks, etc. Teens are always harder to buy for, so gift cards are another option. There will be envelopes on the tree for gift cards and cash donations. Some suggestions for gift cards are Sports Authority, Old Navy, Target, Marshalls, Dicks Sporting Goods, TJ Maxx, and Walmart. They ask you limit the gift cards to less than $25. Don t forget to purchase the gift cards through our SCRIP program! If you have never shopped at the store Five Below, it is a great place to buy fun things! Everything there is $5 or less! If you have children or grandchildren, just think what they might like for Christmas and buy an extra one for the giving tree! Blankets, afghans and fleece throws are also needed for distribution during the winter months. Thanks in advance for your participation in this fun and easy holiday charity event! Remember: Gifts are to be returned UN- WRAPPED by the weekend of December 5/6. Donations of wrapping paper will also be accepted. Cash donations and gift cards are a good choice. Return the envelopes in the collection basket or drop off at the parish office. Questions about the Giving Tree, please call Jan Krumm at If you know of anyone in our parish who may need help this year providing gifts for their family, please contact our St. Vincent DePaul Society or the parish office. For more information about Circle of Concern, please go to their website at: It is hard to put into words the outpouring of love that my family experienced from the family of St. Elizabeth s at the calling home of my infant grandson, Shawn Jr. The many mass cards and delicious lunch prepared by Judy Roderick and her crew of devoted parishioners.
