2 Who are we? Mission Inspired by the Holy Spirit and empowered by the Sacraments, our diverse community worships, serves and grows in the love and knowledge of Jesus. Vision We are a growing Catholic community united and passionate in deepening and sharing our relationship with Jesus Christ through justice, love, and compassion. Parish Staff Parish Office Hours: 9 AM TO 3:30 PM Parish Office Fax After Hours Emergency phone: 1 (855) Priests: Fr. William A. McKee, Pastor, x207 Fr.

Asst. Kim Bowman x202 Shirley Hemmer x203 Receptionist Shirley Hemmer x201 Jennifer Tankiewicz x201 Parish School: Wanda Stewart Principal x236 Your Support, Your Decision Archbishop Sartain is inviting everyone to be a part of the historic Called to Serve as Christ campaign. The campaign is a wonderful opportunity to address the needs of our parishes and the Archdiocese. Archbishop Sartain s invitation will request each family to make a meaningful gift with a suggested amount. The request amounts for families to consider are based, in part, on support to our parish, past support to archdiocesan causes, a review by the campaign team and Stewardship and Development Office, and other information including whether you took part in the planning study. The Archdiocese certainly doesn t know anyone s financial situation, but Archbishop Sartain s approach will be to ask every family to make a meaningful and sacrificial gift. There are many ways of giving which can accommodate your current circumstances. The campaign offers flexible arrangements for when to pay and how to pay. Each family is asked to pray about what an appropriate sacrifice would be to provide meaningful support to the campaign and then complete an intention card. Our parish will have a team of volunteers who are helping with the campaign. They will be available to provide information, answer questions and assist you in completing your intention card. Your charitable gift will help the Archdiocese to build a future which answers Christ s call to serve for future generations. M E S S A G E F R O M Y O U R P A S T O R November Page 1

Vatican City -- Pope Francis has accepted the resignation of Washington Cardinal Donald Wuerl, ending a storied, five-decade career of one of the U.S. Catholic Church's most dedicated and powerful prelates after a Pennsylvania grand jury report sparked outcry over his handling of abusive priests in the early 1990s.

Visit our parish website at and click on the Can We Pray for You button. To add a name of a sick person to the Prayers of the Faithful at Mass, please call the parish office ( ). The request must be made by an immediate relative or the sick person themselves. To request a Mass intention at a weekday Mass call the parish office. Reflect upon your present blessings, of which every man has plenty; not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite days of the year because it reminds us to give thanks and to count our blessings. Suddenly, so many things become so little when we realize how blessed and lucky we are. A thankful heart is not only the greatest virtue, it is the parent of all other virtues. Ciscero The more we express thanks, the more gratitude we feel. The more gratitude we feel, the more we express thanks. It s circular, and it leads to a happier life. Steve Goodier We urge you brothers [and sisters],admonish the idle, cheer the fainthearted, support the weak, be patient with all. See that no one returns evil for evil; rather, always seek what is good (both) for each other and for all. Rejoice always. Pray without ceasing. In all circumstances give thanks, for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:14-18 November 18, 2018 Page
