Page 2 PARISH NEWS JPII GIFT AND BOOK SHOP NEWS During the season of Thanksgiving we would like to thank all volunteers and parishioners who have supported the shop this year. Your time and the sale proceeds have helped to support our parish, the Red Cloud School and other customers. We ve found that having religious items and books available is also a way of welcoming newcomers, educating people in their faith, providing support in times of stress, and offering intercessory prayers for those on our prayer list. God bless you for your generosity! Now that the official countdown to Christmas has begun, stop in the shop to browse our collection of Christmas cards, nativity scenes and gifts. Small religious tokens, cards or bookmarks make great stocking stuffers and/or reminders of our faith and the reason for the season. If you are looking for a special item, we will do our best to locate and order it for you. However, remember to request the item soon, as supplies run out and shipping time is limited. ST.

FAITH FORMATION By Grace Lakatos Next place on the Tour of Grace s Favorite Saints is actually a tie. Attending St. Barbara School, I always looked forward to the feasts of St. Patrick and St. Joseph every March. First, my heritage is Irish and Polish, but more importantly, the Sisters of the Holy Family of Nazareth allowed us to wear green and red knee-high socks on those days respectively. That was a big change from our daily uniformed routine of navy blue. I loved hearing the legend of St. Patrick and to me, St. Joseph was what I imagined my own father would have been like. So I guess you could say that these two great men are saints of my heart, even all these years later when my socks are now black support socks! Ha! Ha! Do you have a favorite saint? I hope so and I hope you keep them close to you in everything you do. Holiday Mail for Heroes Drive continues in Resurrection Hall until December 16th.

Christ the King "Hail the King of the Jews." The kingship of Christ has always been different than the world expected. Many of Jesus' disciples hoped for an earthly Messiah who would overthrow the Romans. But, as Jesus says in today's Gospel, his kingdom is "not of this world." And yet it is a very real kingdom. Jesus is a very real Lord. And we are called to invite Jesus to be king of our lives. In the early 20th century, disillusionment with authority of all kinds was growing. Revolutions, atheistic thinkers, and World War I contributed to a rejection of faith. In 1925, Pope Pius XI called the Church and the world back to a sense of hope in Christ. He instituted the solemnity of Christ the King on the last Sunday before Advent. How is Jesus king of your life today? Anthony P. Alfano- U. S. Marines Mark E. Baran- U. S. Air Force Louis J.
