3 33RD SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME NOVEMBER 18, 2018 A Note from Fr. Tom In our first reading this weekend the widow shares with the prophet from her want. It is not an impressive amount or the glamour of what she offers, but the offer itself. I don t think there is a more lovingly prepared parish bazaar in Worcester County than was held here at St. Peter s last weekend! While there were indeed some very impressive items on the several raffle tables, this experience seems to me to be one of genuine community. People return to be with us each year because of that spirit, for the chance to peruse all items on offer, and for the chance to enjoy a lunch worth many more times the price! Walking the length and breadth of the hall that day was truly rewarding and inspiring! March for Life Washington, DC Please join us for the Diocese of Worcester s bus trip to the 46th annual March for Life in Washington, DC. Buses will leave on Thursday January 17th after the 7:30pm Mass at St. Paul s Cathedral, travel to Washington for the march for life on January 18th, followed by the return trip to Worcester. Cost is $80.00 per seat for registrations postmarked by December 31st and $95.00 thereafter. For more information, and to download registration forms, visit Can t make it this year but want to help? Consider making a donation that will help defray expenses for our students who want to attend but might otherwise find it difficult to do so. Thank you. Thank you to all those who gave their time to help with the success of our annual Holiday Bazaar The other walk that stays with me from last weekend was that taken by parishioners and other invited guests at the 11:00am Mass of Remembrance. As the names of those who had died during the last year were read, a person or, in some cases, an entire family took the walk from where they were sitting in church to come forward and receive a beautiful red rose in memory of their loved one. For some, the loss and their grief are more recent. The giving and receiving a rose wouldn t arouse much acclaim or curiosity in many circles. In this moment last week, however, it signified our commitment to continue to hold in prayer those who have fallen asleep in death. It is our proclamation that while we were gathered together because our loved ones died, we do so precisely because Christ lives, raised in glory to be the Firstborn among them called to new life. And those who made that walk forward trusted us with their grief and shared with us their faith. I wish to express my gratitude to everyone who brought these grace-filled occasions to life! Given the nature of the week and the events of the weekend, there was a lot of setting up and taking down to accommodate our needs as a parish! Thank you to everyone who sacrificed much for the sake of all at St. Peter s. Fr.

It will get smoother as we get more used to it. Also, thank you to Carrie, Cynthia, Melanie, Victoria, and GloryAnn for all your help with the game and throughout the night.
