Attention Parishioners!

The Mass book for 2018 is OPEN

Book of Remembrance

During November, we are called in a special way to remember “our brothers and sisters who have fallen

asleep in the hope of the resurrection”. A book is available in the sanctuary in which the faithful could inscribe the names of their beloved dead who would

be remembered in prayer during this month. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

ENCOURAGEMENT This Sunday’s Gospel is our final selection from Mark for this liturgical year. It is taken from the end of Jesus’ teaching in Jerusalem immediately preceding the account of his arrest and passion. In it Jesus gives his disciples hope to sustain them through his passion and death and any persecution or suffering that they would encounter after his resurrection. The words from the book of Daniel also provided hope and encouragement to the people of Daniel’s time. The encouragement in these scriptures is meant for us as well, for none of us will escape tribulation in our lives. Followers of Jesus will be able to endure suffering with joyful hope, knowing that Christ’s love will lead us along the way of discipleship and give us eternal life with God. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc. TODAY’S READINGS First Reading — Those who lead the many to justice shall be like the stars forever (Daniel 12:1-3). Psalm — You are my inheritance, O Lord! (Psalm 16). Second Reading — Where there is forgiveness, there is no longer offering for sin (Hebrews 10:11-14, 18). Gospel — Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away (Mark 13:24-32).

The Eucharist Is The Heart Of Our Life In Christ

Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick

Please contact the Rectory Office if you know of any homebound person or anyone going for

medical procedures who would like to be anointed by a priest and/or receive the Eucharist.

Do You Know? Why do we, on entering a Catholic Church, make the sign of the cross with Holy Water?

Answer in next week’s bulletin.

Wednesday, November 21st Memorial of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. This memorial originated in the second century with the dedication on 21st Nov. 543, of the Basilica of St. Mary the New in Jerusalem.

Answers to last week’s question. Should the congregation applaud after the meditation hymn? The celebration of the Eucharist is the primary focus of the Mass. Hymns are to inspire not to entertain.

Dear Parishioners, help us to know who you are by becoming a regis-

tered member of the parish.
