November 16, 2014 Thirty-Third Sunday in Ordinary Time 2 Did You Know? Views From The Pews Five people left notes about the Boy Scouts’ Spaghetti and Meatball fund raiser two weeks ago. Here is one of them. Alicia writes, “It was really good. The sauce and the meatballs were delicious. What a nice way for us to help out.” “You are right, Alicia. We got to help the Boy Scouts raise some money and we got to eat a delicious meal.” Anonymous writes, “I miss you at the Children’s Mass. Where have you been?” “I last celebrated the Noon Mass on October 19. I did a Baptism for family friends at Holy Name of Jesus on October 26. I celebrated the 8am and 7pm Masses on November 2, and last week I was in Lacombe conducting a retreat for engaged couples. We priests stay busy.” Fr. Mike HAVE YOUR PICTURE TAKEN WITH SANTA!! A Gallup poll says quite a few more Protestants than Catholics are in favor of allowing daily prayer in public schools. Protestants Catholics 77% 55% Fr. Mike Did you know that there is only one more Sunday before Advent starts? Many of us are starting to think about Christmas and what to get for our loved ones. This is a good thing to show love to our family and friends, a very good thing. Yet, don’t forget to make plans for Advent. How will your family prepare for the coming of Christ? How will you slow down your life to evaluate your relationship? How do you want to make Christ more present in the world? Don’t wait until we are in Advent to start making plans. It will fly by before you even realize it is here. God bless. IN THE CAFETERIA Fr.
