Rehearsals at 1:30 pm on December 2, 9, and 16. * to ATHENS with St. Paul * Vacation Bible Camp Dates: Monday July 8-Friday July 12 Old Testament THE BOY KING JOASH 2 Kings 12: 1- Joash was only seven years old when he became King of Judah. His grandmother Athalia was a wicked queen. She tried to kill all the royal family. But a faithful family member Josheba hid the one-year-old Joash for six years. At age seven, he was given into the care of the priest Jehoiada. With the temple guards to help, they staged a coronation for the boy king. He reigned for 37 years. During his reign he did what was right in the sight of God, trying to convince the people to the one true God instead of the nature gods of their neighbors. Because of the constant wars in the region, life was very difficult for all. There was another king named Joash. He was the king of Israel (the tribes in the north). This Joash went to visit Elisha, where he saw a vision of the chariots and horsemen of Israel.. New Testament THE AGONY AND THE ARREST Mark 14: 32-52 At the Passover meal that Jesus celebrated with his disciples, he transformed this ancient celebration into a living memorial of his own sacrifice of his Body and Blood, which we still celebrate today as the Eucharist. He took all his disciples into the garden of Gethsemani, asking them to pray. He took Peter, James, and John farther into the garden. He was in agony about the cruel death he was to die. Three times the disciples fell asleep. He finally woke them because Judas Iscariot was coming with a crowd of people armed with swords and clubs, who had been sent by the chief priests and elders. Judas identified Jesus with a greeting and an embrace. One of the bystanders drew a sword and cut off the ear of the high priest s servant. A young boy (possibly Mark) ran away terrified. All of the disciples ran away, leaving Jesus to face his hour of sacrifice alone. MY FAITH Catholic Marriage The Catechism of the Catholic Church tells us all about Catholic Marriage. (ccc 1621-1642). It s not just a time when two people say they love each other and want to celebrate. It s much more than that, a picture of the love that God has for his people. The priest or deacon receives the consent of the man and woman and he gives the blessing of the Church. Before marriage the couple are prepared for this great event by taking classes where they learn about God s will for marriage, a lifelong covenant between a man and a woman who agree to worship God and raise the children God gives them. Alphabet Soup V- Vashti was the wife of the Assyrian king Ahasuerus. PAGE 4

PAGE 5 KNIGHTS CORNER FOUR PRINCIPLES: CHARITY UNITY FRATERNITY PATRIOTISM All the good works we do are informed by our four core principles: Fraternity Venerable Michael J. McGivney founded the Knights of Columbus, in large part, to provide assistance to the widows and children left behind when the family breadwinner died often prematurely. The Order s top-rated insurance program continues to do this today, as do the good works of individual Knights, who gave more than 75.6 million service hours in 2017, illustrating how Catholics serve each other in fraternity and mercy. Last Monday November 26, 2018, Father Wichert celebrated a Memorial Mass for all Knights and their wives who have passed away in the last 43 years from our council.

We thank God for the success of this initiative. Present during the launch were members of St. Joseph Namalaka Parish in their various capacities, which includes the Pastor, the Catechist, a Seminarian on Pastoral experience, the Chairperson of the Parish Council who chairs the Committee too, and some of the Parishioners who are in the Committee. Apart from them, we had in attendance the Group Village headman and other chiefs within the catchment area, the PTA representative, the School Committee representative and the mother group responsible for cooking the porridge. The community has welcomed the project whole heartedly and are ready to contribute in their respective capacities for the success of the project. In my remarks, I thanked them for the positive attitude as the project will benefit their own children. I did emphasize that the work they are to do is voluntary and there is no money attached to it as such they should not expect anything. The community requested me to thank you for the kind gesture extended to them regardless of the race, religion and other factors. During the launch, it was raining and they expressed their concern if a shelter for the cooking would be constructed as soon as possible since it was being done on an open air and the women were soaked in the rains. We assured them that if they get bricks and sand, we can assist with iron sheets for the shelter as we felt that it was a genuine concern. You will be kept updated on any activity that is to happen. Thanking you always for your kindness. May the good Lord bless all those working tirelessly in raising funds for the success of this project. Long live St. Brendan Parish, long live St. Joseph Parish. Fr. Davie, pastor, St. Joseph's in Namalaka. SAINT BRENDAN CHURCH GIVING TREE Saint Brendan Parish Giving Tree is a yearly tradition that supports multiple different agencies throughout our community. Many of these agencies rely on the influx of donations they receive at this time of year. The giving trees are up in the church Narthex now with lots of tags for a variety of different needs. On top of the individual tags on the trees we are also collecting the following: New toys or teen gift items that can be used for Mathew House and Sibling House general Christmas stores (new only please); new or gently used blankets or sleeping bags for Noel House and Francis House; new and gently used Coats any size. These will be used for the Knights of Columbus coats for kids program, Youth Care and Union Gospel Mission and Francis House; new socks (adult). Please make sure gently used items are clean. Items can be dropped off in the church Narthex. School families may drop items at the school drop off box but if you have a larger donation it is helpful if you drop it in the Narthex. Please make sure tagged items come back with the tag attached. We are also still looking for delivery drivers. You would need to be available to pick up items at the church around noon on December 16th. Some deliveries would need to be made that day, others can be made later that week. ***We have a strong need for a driver to deliver a large donation to the King County Juvenile Detention Center on December 16th after distribution. If you have any questions, would like to be a driver, or are interested in taking on a leadership role please contact Sarah at sarahshines@hotmail.com. MERCIFUL LOVE CONNECTION In collaboration with the Refuge of Mercy in Santiago Chile, The Merciful Love Connection funds programs that help the adolescent mother embrace life with her child.

Jesus makes it clear that it matters not how much one gives, but that it is planned, calculated, at least somewhat sacrificial (see Luke 24:1-4), and not simply from what is leftover at the end of the month. We propose the tithe (10%) as the ideal every family can consider working towards. This means taking steps to give 5% to one s parish, and 5% to other charities or causes you have personal passion for.
