- Sunday Scripture Readings
- Reflection on the Scriptures has become
more and more a part of basic Christian spirituality. At times
we would like to return to the Sunday Scriptures at home, but
we do not have the missalette with us. At other times we may
be interested in seeing just what came before or immediately
after the reading for the day to gain more insights.
To encourage this encounter with
the Scriptures, we will be including in the bulletin the scripture
reading references for the current Sunday and the following Sunday.
In addition, in our on-line bulletin we will have the actual
links to the readings.

- QUESTIONS OF THE
WEEK
- Thirty-Second
Sunday in Ordinary Time
-
- Facing the reality of death can be
very difficult, but today’s Gospel reminds us of the hope
of a future life to come. It is important to continue growing
in faith and in service to the good news so that, at our time
of death, we will know that we have lived well.
Adults: How are my priorities revealed by
how I choose to spend my time? Is there anything I might need
to change about this?
Children: What one thing can I do this week
that will bring a smile to someone’s face?
- MEMORIAL BOOK OF THE DEAD
During
November, the Church encourages us to remember, with special
prayers, those who have died.
We have placed a Memorial Book in the Gathering
Space at Church. You are encouraged to add the names of your
loved ones who have died. They will be remembered at all the
liturgies during the month of November.
Also as a special remembrance, we invite those
who have lost family members during the past year (siblings,
parents) to bring a picture of their loved ones (3x5 or 4x6).
We will display these pictures (we have appropriately sized frames)
in our seasonal space near the Memorial Book of the Dead.
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord.
And Let perpetual light shine upon them
May they rest in peace. Amen.
May their souls and the souls of all the
Faithful departed through the mercy of God
rest in peace. Amen

BAPTISM
We welcome with great joy Kwaku Gyamfi
Boakye-Yiadom, newly-born today through the waters of
Baptism! He is the son of Michael and Becky Boakye-Yiadom. His
brother and sister are Kwabena & Ama Sakyiwaa.
VETERANS’
DAY
November 11, is a day set aside
to remember those men and women who served in our Armed Forces.
In 1919, President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed November 11th as
Armistice Day to remind Americans of the tragedies of war. A
law adopted in 1938 made the day a federal holiday. In 1954,
Congress changed the name of the holiday to Veterans Day to honor
all U.S. veterans. We offer prayers of gratitude for all our
veterans.
CATHOLIC CAMPAIGN FOR HUMAN DEVELOPMENT
Imagine life below the poverty line, where
one in eight Americans struggles every day to hang on. The Catholic
Campaign for Human Development helps people to create permanent
solutions to the problem of poverty in their communities. Be
part of the numbers that care; give generously to the CCHD Appeal
next weekend, November 17/18. Visit povertyusa.org to
learn more.
STUDY TABLES
Come to the Parish Center this week for
some quiet study time prior to finals. On the evenings of Wednesday-Friday,
November 14-16, and Sunday/Monday, November 18/19, you will
be able to use the cyber cafe, library, or one of the other rooms
for study. We’ll have fruit, cheese and crackers, granola,
veggies and other healthy (and not-so-healthy!) snacks available.
Remember, we’re wireless now so you can bring your laptops.

STEWARDSHIP -- OUTREACH
Last weekend, a check for $2,757.75
was presented to Danny Moates representing the Faith Build
Coalition for Athens County Habitat for Humanity. The Faith
Build Coalition is working on its 5th house. Christ the King
has been active and generous in each of these houses.
Our contribution to St. Vincent de Paul
this past month was $1,226.00.
Several parishioners have asked about how to
help the St. Jude Academy mission project in Kenya. The
project will officially begin in Advent. The committee wanted
Teresa Kiumba to make a presentation to the parish before she
went back home so that we could have a better sense of the importance
of this ongoing project.

place, and he has to be out of his current location by Thanksgiving

labor to help Dale out?! Give him a call at 698-5060.
