GEORGE CHURCH 6707 West 175 TH STREET TINLEY PARK, ILLINOIS stgeorge60477.org MISSION STATEMENT We, the faith-filled community of St. George, nourished by God s Word and His Sacraments and renewed by the Holy Spirit, accept the call to continue the mission of Christ by living in, sharing and transforming our world. MASS TIMES 2018 Daily: 7:30 am: Monday thru Friday Saturday: 8:00 am Vigil of Sunday: 4 pm Sunday: 7:30 am, 9:30 am & 11:30 am Holy Days: to be announced. Confessions (Reconciliation) After the 4:00 pm Mass on Saturday and after the 7:30 and 9:30 am Masses on Sunday National Vocation Awareness Week, November 4-10 National Vocation Awareness Week (NVAW) is an annual week-long celebration of the Catholic Church in the United States dedicated to promote vocations to ordained ministry and consecrated life through prayer and education, and to renew our prayers and support for those who are considering one of these particular vocations. Observance of Vocation Awareness Week began in 1976 when the U.S. bishops designated the 28th Sunday of the year for the celebration. It was later moved to Feast of the Baptism of the Lord in January. In 2014, after extensive consultation, the Committee on Clergy, Consecrated Life and Vocations moved the observance of National Vocation Awareness Week to November to engage Catholic schools and colleges more effectively in this effort.

11 Hand-carved olive wood gifts from the Holy Land: proceeds benefit Catholic schools in the Holy Land. Did you know that 600 Christian families living in Bethlehem are completely dependent on carving olive wood figurines for their livelihood? The recent clashes in the Middle East have stopped the tourism industry in Bethlehem, causing most of those families serious harm in earning their living and forcing many of them to leave their homeland. Emptying the land of Christ from Christians can have tragic consequences on the Holy sites. Issam from Star of Bethlehem Group came to the United States with a mission to help those families by selling their beautiful religious hand crafts. The cost of goods goes to benefit the Christian carvers to keep them working in the spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, the profit from sales goes directly to the needy Catholic Schools and clinics in the Holy Land. Star of Bethlehem has been approved by many bishops, and diocese of Jerusalem. Please take a look at those beautiful artifacts November 10 and 11 here at St. George Parish. The Good Pilot, Peter Woodhouse By Alexander McCall Smith New Books have arrived for the next reading adventure! Used books available at the rectory for $9. Book discussion date January 25, All are welcome invite a friend! A tale of war and forgiveness, and an intrepid dog McCall Smith s generous writing and dry humor, his gentleness and humanity, and his ability to evoke a place and a set of characters without caricature or condescension have endeared his books to readers, - The New York Times Alexander McCall Smith is one of those authors, which should come as no surprise to those who have happily read their way through his prolific output ranging from a ladies detective agency in Botswana to a supercilious philanthropist in Edinburgh and a forlorn little boy called Bertie. His latest venture into the kind of philosophy Mr. McCall Smith engages in stretches across generations and nations at war, yet he retains his remarkable capacity for advocating forgiveness in the most unlikely circumstances.. - The Washington Times A Sweet Deal for St. George from Bakers Square!

One of these vigils has taken place at Planned Parenthood in Flossmoor. After the latest reports received from vigil locations through the first 33 days, 310 babies and their mothers are known to be saved from abortion. You can be certain that many more mothers had a change of heart that was not made known to vigil participants. During this 40 day vigil at least one abortion worker quit, and a late-term abortion facility has closed permanently. November 4, 2018 Thirty-First Sunday in Ordinary Time 13
