4 SPIRIT GEAR ORDERS DUE MISSIONARY CHILDHOOD ASSOCIATION Pope Francis shares with the young church: you too, young friends, by your baptism have become living members of the Church; together we have received the mission to bring the Gospel to everyone. This is the message we are conveying to all children with the mission education resources offered through The Missionary Childhood Association (MCA). We are teaching your children that we the church are called to action, to participate in the spreading of the Gospel to all corners of the world to strengthen their catholic identity and instill a missionary spirit of love and generosity towards other children in need around the world. MCA teaches this love for our Church s missionary nature to ensure that your child s faith takes root to an authentic and fruitful catholic identity. The MCA is the primary avenue for our Catholic school students to support men and women in our foreign missions who give their lives by enhancing the life and faith of the poorest of the poor in the world. Their goal and motto is Kids Helping Kids. They are striving for us to bring out within the children awareness of the Christ of Charity. Please encourage your child to contribute their personal money to their classroom globe bank. All money raised will be sent to the MCA mission program. Thank you in advance for your support.

7 REFLECTING SUNDAY S GOSPEL MESSAGE FAITH HEROES THROUGH FAITH FORMATION Reflecting on the Word In the end, all return to God and are made equal in God s sight. Still, we spend most of our lives building up mountains of work, accomplishments, and awards that will someday be no higher than the valleys we tower over. During Advent, we might consider how we can raise up others in our workplace, community, and home. As we do this, we will be building up the Kingdom of God and straightening paths. On the Way to Mass What is that unfair thing in the world that you would like to correct? On the Way Home from Mass Is there anything that feels like a mountain weighing you down? Could anyone help you with it? BLANKETS NEEDED As the temperature drops, we are getting many requests from our homeless clientele for warm blankets. Your donations of clean blankets will enable us to fulfill these requests and ensure that our clients are at least warm during these cold nights living outdoors. Please leave the blankets in the narthex SVDP food box, or you may drop them off at the SVDP office between 10:30 and 2:30, Monday through Friday. As always, we thank you for your continuing generous donations of food, clothes and funding to enable your St. Vincent De Paul Conference to assist the less fortunate of our parish and surrounding cities on your behalf! If you would like to know more about our parish conference of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, or perhaps become a volunteer member, please dial the HNM Church number, extension 138, and leave a message for our President, Bob Fleming. aead28a6fa7-childrens
