Here is a Summary of the ways the Holy Spirit has been at work in St. Joseph s parish in Namalaka, through the contributions of the St. Brendan parish as whole and individuals. We have funded a school lunch program for nearly 2 years that has provided for roughly 2000 students at one of the schools in one of the parish villages, and continue to do so. We helped in the final phase of the completion of the new rectory that was able to accommodate us on our visit last summer (details such as curtains). We paid to have electricity brought to the village that is now lightning the rectory and may giver power to New maize mill in the future. We have brought the delegation from MALAWI to visit us in 2016 and will host another group to visit us in fall of We aided the former pastor Fr. Saulos in repairing his car and for medical help after his accident. We left money with the women's groups to start small business ventures to help feed there families and send their children to school. We left scholarship funds to aid students in attending secondary school. And we left funds with new pastor Fr. Davie that he may discern how to use in running the parish. We continue to pray for one another and strive to learn from each other. Questions? Contact Marie Hedden at PAGE 3

4 ANNOUNCEMENTS (Contact Andrea with questions or to help out.) Sacramental Preparation begins in December. Your child MUST be in Disciples Club OR St. Brendan Catholic school last year and this year in order to participate. Dec 21 6:30 pm Posadas & Pastorela. All are invited to participate in this annual event. It is a play about Mary and Joseph looking for shelter, followed by the adoration of the angels, shepherds, and kings. Rehearsals 1:30 pm on December 2, 9, and 16. Vacation Bible Camp Dates Monday July 8-Friday July 12. The theme this year is ATHENS. Some children who are now teen helpers will remember this from Old Testament THE JAR OF OIL 2 Kings 4: 1-7 After Elijah was carried off to heaven, his friend Elisha became a great prophet. There was a widow with two children who told Elisha that her husband also a prophet had died owing money. The creditors who had lent the money were telling the widow that if she couldn t pay, they would seize her two children to sell as slaves. The money from the sale would pay them back. The poor widow had only one small jug of oil. Elisha said, Borrow bowls and jugs from your neighbors as many as you can. So she did that, not knowing what Elisha had in mind. Following his command, one by one she started filling all the vessels from the one little jug of oil. She filled and filled until all were full. With that miracle, she now had plenty of oil to sell. She paid her debts and the family stayed together. New Testament THE JAR OF PERFUME Mark 14: 3-9 Jesus was eating in the home of Simon in Bethany. Bethany is the same town where Mary and Martha and Lazarus lived. A woman came into the house carrying a very expensive jar. The jar was made of alabaster. It was an expensive white jar, probably very beautiful. Inside the jar was a kind of perfume that was also expensive and had a wonderful smell. She used the entire jar of perfumed oil to pour on Jesus s head, as if she were anointing someone. People were surprised that she did this and some people criticized her for wasting something expensive. But Jesus knew that this offering she made showed her great love for him. Jesus wouldn t allow anyone to criticize her. MY FAITH Symbols and Sacramentals Just like the woman who anointed Jesus, we are people who love beautiful things. Here are some beautiful things that help us worship God. CHURCH BUILDING: Our church buildings remind us that God is always with us. The ALTAR is the place where Jesus was crucified. It can be the Cross (ccc 1182) or the Table where we receive Jesus s Body and Blood. The TABERNACLE is the place where we honor the reserved Body of Christ. The CHRISM is a blessed oil that reminds us of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. PAGE 4

BULLETIN DEADLINE 12 Noon Monday (Friday 4:30pm when Monday is a Holiday) bulletin@saintbrendan.org ONLINE PARISHIONER REGISTRATION & ONLINE GIVING Every person s finances and family situation is different. Jesus makes it clear that it matters not how much one gives, but that it is planned, calculated, at least somewhat sacrificial (see Luke 24:1-4), and not simply from what is leftover at the end of the month. We propose the tithe (10%) as the ideal every family can consider working towards. This means taking steps to give 5% to one s parish, and 5% to other charities or causes you have personal passion for. You can register online at and click on the link Online Registration/New Parishioner on lower left corner of website and to give online, click on the Online Giving link. It s quick, secure, convenient, and easy. Your support helps sustain our parish. If you need help with online giving, please call the Parish Office at PAGE 7
