31st Sunday in Ordinary Time Gospel: Mark 12:28 - 34 Ques�ons to Ponder: 1. Have you ever wished you could ask Jesus a ques�on? What would it be? 2. Jesus condenses the commandments down to 2; does this make it easier to live the commandments for you? How? 3. The scribe seems to “get it”. Do you?

Dear Friends,

Every so o,en on the game show Jeopardy, they have a

category called “potpourri.” It is a category of unused

ques�ons from other various categories on the show. In

short, it’s a mix of many things. This le1er is “potpourri” as

well—a mix of many things.

First of all, a few dates to make sure you get on your

calendar. The first is a Parish Assembly to unveil the

architect’s renderings for our new worship space (church

building). The date is Sunday, January 27, 2019 at 3:00pm

and will be held in the gym on the St. Paul Campus follow

ing the school open house. Come over and tour the school

and then s�ck around for the mee�ng.

Second, November is always a month for giving thanks.

We will have two opportuni�es later this month to do so.

One is our Thanksgiving Day (Nov. 22) Mass at 9:00am at

the St. Paul Chapel; the other is the SellersburgSpeed

Ministerial Associa�on Ecumenical Thanksgiving Prayer

Service. That event is held on Thanksgiving Eve (Nov 21) at

7:00pm at Calvary Chris�an Church, 605 Norman Drive in

Sellersburg. Hopefully you can join us for one, or both of

them.

Finally, I am a big fan of Dave Ramsey and his program

called Financial Peace University. We have a few people

finishing the class right now at our parish. I also listen a lot

to his radio program (although I do it as a podcast). He re

cently had a single mother stop by his office to do her

"debtfree" scream. I don't remember the numbers (as in

how much she paid off and what amount of �me it took

her), but what I do remember about the call is this: She

was wearing a Tshirt that said, "Actually...I can" and her

two children were wearing Tshirts as well. One said, "Why

I can" and the other said, "Why I will."

When asked about the shirts, she stated that as she was

going through the process, people would o,en tell her she

wouldn't be able to do it. Eventually, she just began an

swering them with the words, "Actually...I can" and then

she would pull out a picture of her oldest child and say,

"This is why I can." Then she would pull out a picture of her

younger child and say, "And this is why I will."

I was struck by that. It reminded me of the importance

of purpose...a reason for doing whatever we do. I would

say this young woman had a pre1y

strong purpose!

In Christ’s Love,

Fr. Tom Clegg

Pastor

Bringing Christmas to

Campton, Kentucky

in Appalachia

For the past 16 years our parish

has made an annual trip to take donated toys to Good Shepherd

Catholic Church in Campton, KY.

Several sisters run the mission

services and distribute Christmas toys to families in this impover

ished Appalachian area. Our Monthly Outreach also pro

vides some financial aid to the parish as they sponsor services to families all year long.

In last year’s le<er, Sr. Susan Marie Pleiss, OFS told of

the increased number of families in need. The store served over 144 families . This was a 50% increase from

the year before. We are happy to be part of this outreach

again this year.

We will be collec�ng new, unwrapped toys for children ages 013. The unwrapped toys may be brought to

either the St. Paul or St. Joe Hill Chapel beginning

November 5 through November 24. The toys will be delivered to Campton on November 25 so they can be

offered in a “Christmas Shop” to families with children.

As always, bless you for bringing Christmas to Campton again this year!

Hands Across Hai�

Annual Fund Drive The St. John Paul II Hai� Commi�ee works year-round to journey with and assist our sister parish, the Bayeux-Novion Parish in Hai�. However, we could not do it without your financial support. You should have received (or soon will receive) in the mail important informa�on about our Hands Across Hai� Annual Fund Drive. Because of the generosi-ty of a donor to do this mailing, 100% of the dollars you donate to this fund provide direct aid to the people of Hai�. In past years, we have helped our sister parish add classrooms to their school, pay teachers’ salaries, replace a leaky roof on the church, build a bell tower, provide secondary and University educa�on to 64 students, and lunches for the students. We invite all parishioners to consider a gi7 of $25 to this fund. Even if you already sponsor a student, any dona�on would be extremely helpful to us as we assist them. Thank you in advance on behalf of the Hai� Commi�ee and our sister parish.
