THE PARISH AS ONE BODY “If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole body were hearing, where would the sense of smell be? But as it is, God placed the parts, each one of them, in the body as he intended… The eye cannot say to the hand, ‘I do not need you,’ nor again the head to the feet, ‘I do not need you.’ Indeed, the parts of the body that seem to be weaker are all the more necessary . Now you are Christ’s body, and individually parts of it. “ (1 Cor. 12:17-25)

50 WEEKS OF PRAYER DURING OUR 50TH ANNIVERSARY YEAR
It’s the week that begins Thanksgiving, the great American holiday celebrating abundance. Our faith is rooted in giving thanks to God for all He has done for us. Our faith is strengthened when we welcome friends, fami-ly, and strangers into our homes to share a meal. And so ... LET THE FEAST BEGIN!
This weekend we close our Golden Jubilee Celebration. WE REMEMBER, WE CELEBRATE, WE BELIEVE. We REMEMBER an honored past of a community which gathered and grew in the service of Word and Sac-rament and compassionate service to one another. We CELEBRATE the presence of Jesus Christ among us. We BELIEVE that the Lord who has begun such a blessed community will continue to shower His grace upon each one of us. So we are energized to carry on into the future. May God Bless Us as we praise His holy name in our community.
Because we are God’s children we have been heavily gifted by our Loving Father! As we are God’s children we must pause and say “Thank You” for all the many good things that Our Father has given to us and out of
His abundance He continues to pour upon us. We have names for those who do not say “thank you” - perhaps “impolite” or “mean spirited” come to mind. God certainly spoils His children! We are spoiled by a God who really dotes on His children. As we do nothing to deserve the love of God, let us not take His love for granted. Pause to give thanks.
Thank you, each one who prepared the celebrations, plural, for our Fiftieth Golden Jubilee. Together we have recalled “the good old days”, remembered “the great people of our past,” and renewed our faith and commitment in the Catholic Community of St. Juliana Falconieri. Thank you for such a great year. Now, with great vigor let’s push onto the future.
When we say we believe in God, we are filled with thanks. Going forward believing in God, what thanks-giving return do you make to the Lord? A compassionate gesture of mercy to help someone is all that is asked: “I am without while you possess.” Belief and thanks-giving together mean “go out and do for others.”
Remember all the good the Lord has done for you. Celebrate by sharing your family stories, food, and welcome friends, family, and neighbors into your home. Gather together, sing St. Louis Armstrong’s song: “What a Wonderful World!” Believe that God is with us as a Good Shepherd never allowing us to stumble alone in the dark.
After every Mass next weekend a petition to introduce a California State referendum to overturn California’s Assisted Suicide law will be available for signatures of registered voters in the County of Orange. When the law goes into effect it will allow a termi-nally ill, mentally competent adult to obtain a prescription for a life-ending drug provided two doctors confirm the diagnosis and prognosis, and other safeguards are met. Simply stated, a law declares an action legal/illegal, not moral. If petitions are signed by the required number of voters and filed with the Secretary of State, a challenge to the law approved by the Legislature and Govern can be placed on the statewide ballot. It is important that voters in Orange County sign the petition and that your information is printed clearly.
A special welcome and word of thanks and appreciation to Bishop Vann, the priests, deacons, staff, lay ministers, family and friends who are gathered with us in celebration this weekend! Many of you have traveled to be with us -
we are honored and blessed to have you join in our celebration of this milestone 50th Anniversary of St. Juliana Falconieri Church and School. (1965-2015)

This weekend - November 21st / 22nd Diocesan National Needs Collection
Each parish is part of the Church Universal; it is the Catholic Church in a particular place. The bishops of the United States created the Na-tional Needs Collection so that, by combining resources, we can more effectively carry out our mission as Catholics. Each collection is worthy of your support. Each collection represents our community of faith at work in the world, saving souls and improving lives.
The bishops encourage us to view the National Needs Collection in the light of stewardship and of sharing. God has given us our light and our prosperity, all we need and more. It is right and just that we give something back through these collections, helping people in our own country and around the world to live better and to grow in the love of Jesus.
The Knights are collecting paper-backed books, non-liquid toi-letry items, music CD’s, and snacks for our troops stationed at Camp Dahike and Camp Losano in Afghanistan to send for Christmas. The collection box is in the back of the church dur-ing the month of November. Point of contact is Bob Kane 714-244-9158 or 714-528-7496.

GRATITUDE Let us remember that, as much has been given us, much will be expected from us, and that true homage comes from the heart as well as from the lips, and shows itself in deeds. —Theodore Roosevelt
What is the reason I am born? What is the reason I came into
the world? Am I called to testify to the truth by becom-ing a priest, brother or sister?
(John 18:33-37)
The gospel message proclaimed throughout the New Testament invites us to live in harmony with the world. This is a challenge to care for the world and be stewards of all that God has given us. Like generations before us, we are entrusted with the care of the earth so that generations to follow may enjoy the same gifts. Sometimes, however, we are absorbed into the ways of the world. When we are of the world, we rely heavily on the power of wealth, beauty, fame, and accumulation of material posses-sions. We want earthly possessions and carelessly turn our hearts from the responsibilities of stewardship and conservation. The readings today challenge us to walk away from the world so that we might inherit our share of God’s kingdom. How we live our lives directly reflects our love for God. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

For most people, the holidays are highly anticipated days of fami-ly celebration, reunion, gift-giving and fun. Others dread the holi-days or simply endure them. For them the holidays represent loss and loneliness. If you have recently lost a loved one or you have had losses in the past that cause you to associate sorrow with the holiday you are invited to: “Good Grief! Here Comes Christ-mas! This is a simple time of retreat and reflection for persons who have suffered loss and are experiencing bereavement. In addition to reflection, practical suggestions for how to “be” dur-ing the holiday season will be offered. Treat yourself to a little TLC as we move through this busy time.
Christ Cathedral Pastoral Center, Room 1AB 13280 Chapman Avenue, Garden Grove, CA 92840

“GOOD GRIEF! HERE COMES CHRISTMAS!”
Thanksgiving Days are ones at which the most family members generally come together during the course of the year. Since several generations are present, it is a superb opportunity to have the senior family members tell their own family stories: where did their parents and grandparents come from? When and how? What was life like in those days? Invite them to share some of their favorite family stories. Through this family shar-ing process, it will become obvious that all our families are im-migrant families—little different from the immigrant families living in our midst today.
