November 24, 2019 —The Feast of Our Lord Jesus Christ, the King of the Universe

The rulers sneered at Jesus and said, "He saved others, let him save himself if he is the chosen one, the Christ of God." Even the soldiers jeered at

him. As they approached to offer him wine they called out, "If you are King of the Jews, save yourself." - Lk 23:35-37

Message from Fr. LeRoy….

Recently I ran across a cute “Explanation of God” written by

a child, which I thought you might enjoy! He writes: “One of God’s main

jobs is making people. He makes them to replace the ones that die, so

there will be enough people to take care of things on earth. He doesn’t

make grownups, just babies. I think because they are smaller and easier

to make. That way He doesn’t have to take up his valuable time teaching

them how to talk and walk. He can just leave that up to mothers and

fathers.

God’s second most important job is listening to prayers. An

awful lot of this goes on, since some people, like preachers and things ,

pray at times besides bedtime. God doesn’t have time to listen to the

radio or TV because of this. Because He hears everything, there must be

a terrible lot of noise in His ears, unless He has thought of a way to turn it

off. God sees everything and hears everything and is everywhere which

keeps Him pretty busy. So you shouldn’t go wasting His time by going

over your Mom or Dad’s head asking for something they said you couldn’t

have.

Atheists are people who don’t believe in God. I don’t think

there are any in Chula Vista. At least they aren’t any who come to our

church.

Jesus is God’s Son. He used to do all the hard work like

walking on water and performing miracles and trying to teach the people

who didn’t want to learn about God. They finally got tired of Him

preaching to them so they crucified Him. But He was good and kind, like

his Father, and He told His Father that they didn’t know what they were

doing and to forgive them and God said, ‘OK.’

His Dad (God) appreciated everything He had done and all his

hard work on earth so He told Him He didn’t have to go out on the road

anymore. He could stay in Heaven. So He did. And now He helps his

Dad out by listening to our prayers and seeing things which are important

for God to take care of and which one He can take care of Himself

without having to bother God. Like a secretary, only more

important. You can pray anytime you want and they are sure to help you

because they got it worked out so one of them is on duty all the time.

You should always go to church on Sunday because it makes

God happy, and if there is anybody you want to make happy, it’s

God. Don’t skip church or do something you think is will be more fun like

going to the beach. This is wrong. And besides, the sun doesn’t come

out on the beach until noon anyway. If you don’t believe in God, besides

being an atheist, you will be very lonely, because your parents can’t go

everywhere with you, like to camp, but God can.

It’s good to know He’s around you when you’re scared, in the

dark or when you can’t swim and you get thrown into real deep water by

big kids. But…you shouldn’t just always think of what God can do for

you. I figure God put me here and He can take me back anytime He

pleases. And….that’s why I believe in God.” (written by 8 year old,

Danny Dutton of Chula Vista, CA for this third grade assignment to

explain God.)

As we come to the end of our Church’s Liturgical Year and

celebrate the Feast of Christ the King, I hope this perspective of a

child’s faith and these simple words will inspire your own summary of this

great God we have in our rich Tradition of our Christian Catholic Faith.

God bless!

Fr. LeRoy

"YOU KNOW YA WANNA! The auditions for the

2020 ART & SOUL Dinner Theater production of

"Sister Act" will be held on Sunday, November 24 ,

and Monday, November 25 beginning at 6:30. Auditions will take place

in the church at St. Peter's. Please enter door 7. Even if you don’t

want a main part, be a part of the chorus of SISTERS!" It is so much

fun, and so worth it!"

Bulletin deadlines: With the upcoming

Thanksgiving holiday, the deadline for submitting

articles will be changing. For the bulletin that will

be published the weekend of December 7th and

8th, all articles will be due by 9:00 A.M.

Wednesday November 27th. Deadlines will also

change around the Christmas holiday. Please continue to watch the

bulletin for those upcoming deadlines.

Due to the bulletin publishers deadline, Parish Sacrificial Giving

Summary was not available. We will update this in the next

bulletin.

SATURDAY MEAL: Team 5 will prepare, serve and share the noon

meal on Saturday, November 30 at St. Paul’s. All are welcome. For more

information or to volunteer call Shannon Shaughnessy at 253-7182.

There will be an additional collection this

weekend. Inside your bulletin there is an envelope asking for a

donation for the Archdiocese for the Military Services. The AMS

receives no federal funding and has no parishes for a weekly

collection. They must rely on private donations to fund an annual

operating budget of over $8.2 million.

The Archdiocese provides a full range of pastoral ministries to those

serving in the United States Armed Services, enrolled in U.S. Military

Academies, undergoing treatment at any of the 153 Department of

Veterans Affairs Medical Centers, working in civilian jobs for the federal

government beyond U.S. borders, and for families of these populations.

The fund was established in 1985 by Pope John Paul II.

Please prayerfully consider if and what you can donate to this worthy

cause and look for your envelope next weekend.

December is our Food Shelf Month...

Doug Boser of St. Peter's parish will again lead the recruitment for

volunteers at Catholic Charities food shelf during the month of

December. Parishioners from St. Peter's, St. Paul's, St. Michael and St.

Joseph are invited - this is a good opportunity to meet members of our

ACC (Area Catholic Community). Volunteers are needed every Monday,

Wednesday (except Dec. 25), and Friday, with three shifts on Mon. and

Wed., and one on Friday. Shifts are from 3-4 hours, and four to six

volunteers are needed for each shift. Volunteers must be 16 years or

older, or be accompanied by an adult family members.

Volunteers at the Welcome Center will contact those of you who have

volunteered for this ministry in the past. Please sign up for a shift or two to

assist people in our community who need some basic necessities.

Note: The Christmas break is an ideal time for parents to introduce their

children to the ministry of "feeding the hungry" by volunteering at the food

shelf. Minors must be accompanied by a parent.

If you have not been involved in the past, and want to volunteer this

year, PLEASE CALL Doug at 309-1343 or Rose Blesener at 251-3901.

Church of the Week, Nov. 11 to Nov. 25

Due to the early deadline for this week's bulletin, we can report on only our

first two nights of hospitality for persons experiencing homelessness. On

Monday, 11/11, we had 16 guests; on Tuesday, 11/12, we had 20

guests. We expect the numbers will continue to rise as the temperatures

drop.

Please continue to keep our volunteers (200 plus!) and our guests in

your prayers while our parishes offer hospitality to persons experiencing

homelessness in our community. The generosity of our twinned

parishioners is amazing....providing food and drink, preparing the gym and

orienting guests, sacrificing a night at home in exchange for a night in the

hallway at St. Peter's, driving a bus or van to transport our guests morning

and evening...the list goes on. To all those who have volunteered time or

donated treasure and to those who are praying for our volunteers and

guests - thank you for your generosity.

Saturday Meal Program

Meals for the homeless, and those in need, are served at St. Paul's on the

1st and 5th Saturdays of the month. Volunteers are needed to serve,

cleanup, or to bring fruit or bread from home. This is a commitment of only

3 to 4 Saturdays a year! If you feel able to serve in this ministry please

contact Mary O'Hara @ 320-333-0279

Warm Their Soles!

Annual Sock Drive in the month of November. Last

year we were able to distribute over 1400 pairs of socks

Clean, dry socks is something we all take for granted. Help us with

our mission to simply collect NEW socks for men, women and

children. We will be distributing them to the Dream Center, Catholic

Charities and Place of Hope.

Look for baskets at both of our parishes in the month of November to

drop off your brand new sock donations!

and bring them home in safety. We ask this in Your Holy Name. Amen. If

you have a family member in the armed service, your parish family would like

to know. Please call the Parish Offices for St. Peter’s and St. Paul’s at 251-

Thanksgiving

Thankful living can be a new way to approach life. Helen Keller

wrote “Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.” In spite of being

blind, she learned to make lemonade out of lemons! No matter the

adversity or disability one faces attitude makes all the difference. Each

day gives us opportunities to learn and grow. There is nothing so bad

that no good comes from it!

Every day give thanks for at least five gifts in your life. Simple things

like being able to see the sunshine, dress yourself, friends that care

about you, a warm house on a cold rainy night, a phone call from a long-

lost friend, and enough to eat when you are hungry. An attitude of

gratitude can make every day Thanksgiving Day!

As we approach the longer dark nights of winter, we can change our

perspective and have a positive effect on the world around us. About the

only thing we have control over is our attitude. Go ahead and see what

an attitude of gratitude does for you! God has blessed us with many gifts.

For which gift am I most thankful today?

Our thanks to everyone who offers their talents to make our parish

communities such a great place to belong.
