This is an excellent opportunity for our
parishioners to come to a better understanding of our

address any concerns. Through our discussion, we
hope to clear up any confusion that might
exist in our community. Finally, we will share where
we currently are financially and the
financial needs of the parish.

This month certainly is one for
remembering our loved ones and also a
month that ends with Thanksgiving.
This year, I reflect back on the many
people who have died in the parish.
Meeting with the families is a large part
of the preparation and hearing the
stories and history of each person is
truly amazing.
spent many years of service to our parishes and to
making life special for so many people who come
through our doors. We say goodbye to them as they
meet the Lord with lives lived well.
Back here on earth, with feet firmly on the ground,
we have a wonderful crew who prepare meals
after the funeral Mass or service and they do it with
such generosity. We have musicians, cantors and
altar servers who faithfully turn up to help
assist and make our liturgies so beautiful. We have
volunteers who clean our churches, place flowers
and do many unknown deeds in service of the Lord.
But we also have a hidden crew who behind the
scenes take care of and assist at our parish
cemeteries; they literally help bury the dead and put
in tremendous hours of loving service,
tenderly caring and making sure that every plant
and bush reflects the care and love of the
Christian community.
To you all, this Sunday’s gospel reminds us of You.
In quiet simplicity, you go about the work of the Lord
giving your best and making us all shine. In Jesus
words we hear
A poor widow also came and put in two small coins
worth a few cents.
Calling his disciples to himself, he said to them,
"Amen, I say to you, this poor widow put in more
than all the other contributors to the treasury.
For they have all contributed from their surplus
wealth,
contributed all she had,
cents worth came from, folks.
Two cents and one word. THANKS!

Mark 13:2432
"In those days after that tribulation
the sun will be darkened,
and the moon will not give its light,
and the stars will be falling from the sky,
and the powers in the heavens will be shaken.
"And then they will see 'the Son of Man coming in
the clouds'
and then he will send out the angels
and gather his elect from the four winds,
from the end of the earth to the end of the sky.
"Learn a lesson from the fig tree.
When its branch becomes tender and sprouts
leaves,
In the same way, when you see these things
happening, know that he is near, at the gates.
Amen, I say to you,
this generation will not pass away
until all these things have taken place.
Heaven and earth will pass away,
but my words will not pass away.
"But of that day or hour, no one knows,
neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only
the Father."
INVITE A FRIEND OR PARISHIONER TO MASS
A “no thanks” won’t negatively impact your life. But a
“yes” could change someone’s life forever. Press
through any fears of rejection and keep inviting! You’ll
never get a “yes” if you never ask. God wants to use
you. And often, it’s through a simple invite. If we do our
part, God will do His part. We just have to plant the
seed.

The Catholic Church
sets aside November
“Purgatory”. Many
Purgatory and argue that the word “Purgatory” is
not found in the Bible.What does the Catholic
Church teach about Purgatory?
The answer to this question can be found in the
Catechism of the Catholic Church.In paragraph 1030
it states, “All who die in God's grace and friendship,
but still imperfectly purified, are indeed assured of
their eternal salvation; but after death, they undergo
purification, so as to achieve the holiness necessary
to enter the joy of heaven.”

damned. The Church formulated her doctrine of faith
on Purgatory especially at the Councils of Florence
and Trent.” The tradition of the Church, by reference
to certain texts of Scripture, speaks of a cleansing
fire:
against the Holy Spirit will be pardoned neither in this
age nor in the age to come. From this sentence, we
understand that certain offenses can be forgiven in
this age, but certain others in the age to come
(Matthews Gospel).
of the Mass for the faithful departed. When we pray
the Mass for the departed, we are asking God to
assist those who are undergoing their final
repentance and purification as they prepare to enter
God’s presence in eternal life.
