Sellersburg/Speed Hamburger & Tuna Helper-Type meals Welcome to St. John Paul II Catholic Church New Parishioners: Patricia Ballard William (III) and Molly Pfund Ma= Baird Jessica Hamm Upcoming Holiday Schedules: Wednesday, November 21 7:00pm Sellersburg Ecumenical Calvary Chrisan Church Fr. Tom presiding Thursday, November 22 9:00am Mass St. Paul December 24 (Christmas Eve): 4pm St. Paul 6pm St. Joe Hill December 25 (Christmas): 12am St. Joe Hill 10am St. Paul This weekend we observe Veteran s Day. In 1918 World War I ended with the signing of an Armisce agreement between the Allied Countries and Germany in Compiegne, France. This agreement was signed on November 11 at 11:00am. This was the 11 th hour of the 11 th day of the 11 th month. A3er the horror of World War I this agreement was to be The War to end all Wars. As we know that war was only the beginning of many wars that plague our world even to this day. Many of our parish members have served in these wars, some losing their lives in defense of our country. We honor all of these veterans this weekend and thank them for their selfless service. This weekend take a few moments to offer a prayer for each of these service men and women who served in wars past and those who are serving today. This week two of the readings are about widows. As a widow myself I associate with these readings. Unlike these widows I have been blessed with the means to have a life in which I do not suffer in the ways of the widows in Jesus me. Besides a loving family and the blessing of my daughter, I found friends in my parish who have become family and have supported me in good mes and bad. We o3en refer to our St. John Paul II parish as our parish family. Some people feel this is a trite statement but for me it is a living, breathing reality. When I come to Mass or any church meeng, Bible study, or social occasion I am with family. I have been a member of this parish for 44 years. I have seen the children of this parish grow up, marry. I see their children in our school, pre school and at Mass. I can recognize these children because they look so much like their parents. Their visible faith expressed in our church is the 3 rd or 4 th generaon I have grown to love. My 44 years makes me a newby as many in our parish have faith roots that go back many generaons. Walking through the cemetery, the family names are the same ones listed in our Ministry volunteers to this day. That deep rooted faith lives on in our parish. JPII remains full of that deep faith begun over 100 years ago by immigrant families seeking a brighter future. With them came their faith and dedicaon to our loving God. With your prayers and love of St. John Paul II Parish the future holds great things. May God connue to bless our Parish Family! Dolores Snyder
