Around the Diocese and Parish Neighborhood THANKS TO ALL WHO HAVE HELPED US HELP OTHERS Today we have the Society s Truck on our parking lot to collect all your clothing and household goods you are offering to help us help others. Last week we had a wonderful celebration for all Military Veterans and their families of the area. That activity was supported exclusively with funds provided by our Members and other supporters that gave their donations exclusively for that event. We had a wonderful time offering great music, dancing, and comedic entertainment for all the attendees together with an overabundance of food, food, and more food. Our special backers offered an array of attendance gifts to raffle off to the Veterans and their families. Our only regret is that our guest numbers did not rise enough to consume all the great food we prepared for this event. So the local Police and Fire Departments were given trays and trays of chicken, salads, pasta, and desserts which they recognized as manna from heaven as they prepared for extra duty and overtime work to protect the polling places of last week s elections. Thus this benefit served all our uniformed servicemen. Now our parish SVDP Conference returns full time to serving the poor and disadvantaged of our community and to plan more service programs needed as we move forward to winter weather and the holidays/holydays at year s end. Our SVDP Diocesan Council is effecting changes and coordinated planning for both the short term individual assistance programs as well as our long term goals of keeping personal and family poverty tempered with services and Christian help to our brothers and sisters in need. Above all we ask for your continual support of your treasures, time, and talents and especially your prayers that are targeted to help us help others. Holy Ghost C.C.W. Holiday Bazaar On November 11 th the Holy Ghost Council of Catholic Women present their Holiday Bazaar in Ryan Hall from 9 AM to 2 PM. This is a free event. Come and check out our vendors and crafters! We will have raffles and lunch items for purchase. Visit with Mr. and Mrs. Santa. Come and join the fun at Holy Ghost Church, 254 N. Wood Dale Road., Wood Dale, IL. PADS Needs Help! There is a group of Christ the King parishioners who donate their time and talents to support DuPage PADS by volunteering once every month to provide food and shelter to the homeless at the nearby Etz Chaim Temple on Highland Avenue. On the third Sunday of every month, we gather at 5:30 PM to prepare dinner, set up sleeping areas, serve, and clean-up. We then cover two-person supervisory shifts through the night, until early Monday morning when another team arrives to prepare breakfast, serve, and clean and pack up again. This team of individuals is caring, diligent, and dedicated and we don t know what we would do without them. In order to help spread the workload, we are now in need of a few more volunteers. If anyone is interested in donating a few hours of their time once a month to serve this worthwhile cause, please let us know. We are especially in need of a few volunteers to help us cover some of the overnight shifts, including 11 PM 3 AM, even if it s not every month, but to be a back-up on an as-needed basis. If you have any questions or would like to help, please email Jarrod or Martha Cebulski at casadecebulski@comcast.net. Thank you for considering being a part of this ministry.
