WEEKLY MEDITATION
Advent is one of those seasons that has the power to surprise us. Just like the relationship between Lent and Easter, Advent offers us a time to prepare our hearts for the great feast of Christmas. In this short season we discover the themes of Preparation, Waiting, Expectation, Repentance, and Stillness. The thing is...if we aren't ready for Advent then the whirlwind rush of December can sweep us up into the frenzy of the commercial side of the holiday. Many people are so busy - concerts, parties, family events, purchasing gifts and partaking of the "forced fun" of consumerism's attempt at a Hallmark Christmas... Whew! Instead, we can take a deep breath, pray, and reflect on where the Lord is leading us at this moment in our lives. Consider the readings this Sunday:
1st Reading - Isaiah acknowledges that the people are far from God
Psalm - "Lord make us turn to you; show us your face and we shall be saved."
2nd Reading - St. Paul encourages the people of Corinth to be faithful to the end.
Gospel - The Lord exhorts us to be watchful and alert.
So in these short days of preparation here are a few questions to ponder:
Where I can find a little stillness and quiet in my life?
How is the Lord calling me to pray? Is there anything or anyone that requires
special attention? Where is the Lord leading me right now? What do I need to do as I prepare for
Christmas? How can I help someone in this quiet
season of Advent? You get the idea. Step back, pause, and consider in the busy pace that many of us call normal how the Lord is directing your heart. Advent has a beauty and power; our task is to enter into this season and allow God to speak to our souls. Fr. Andrew Ricci
UNBAKED BAKE SALE FUNDRAISER DONATIONS NEEDED
The Kisa Mission Group cannot hold its usual fundraising bake sale this year due to COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. However, the needs of the orphans and schools in Kisa have not stopped. So, we are asking our faithful parishioners to help out again. This year rather than baking or buying all those sweet goodies, we are just asking for monetary donations. Deacon Bob will wire the money to Tanzania at the end of November so the funds can be dispersed before Christmas. Just drop your donation in the collection basket in an envelope marked Kisa or mail to the parish office. Checks can be made to Holy Assumption/Kisa. Thank you again for your most generous support. God bless all of you.
SPECIAL THANK YOU
The Kisa Mission Group would like to thank all those who purchased pasties recently. We made $480 through your generosity.
Question for Children: What special things do you do to get ready for a visitor at your house? What things can you do like that to get ready for Jesus?
Question for Youth: What is one thing that you can do this week to help you remember that Jesus is coming?
Question for Adults: When you’re getting ready to receive a guest, what are some things you do? How do you apply this to receiving Christ?

Christmas Gifts and Winter Outerwear Collection boxes will be at the Cathedral the weekends of November 28/29 and December 5/6 to gather Christmas Gifts for those children who may otherwise not have a gift for Christmas.
We are grateful to the Youth Group for their successful winter outerwear drive and to the Knights of Columbus 499 for their donation of new winter coats for children. We are able to take some specific donations at this time (particularly snow pants, boots, coats in children's sizes and large and x-large adult sizes and adult sized gloves). If you are in financial need, are in need of clothing, or have donations please leave a message at 715-398-4039.
Our annual appeal traditionally held in November has been postponed until the New Year.. If you are thinking about a year-end financial donation, please send your check to SVDP - 1416 Cumming Avenue - Superior, WI 54880. Together we continue to bring Christ's love to our neighbors in need, especially in a pandemic.
RCIA
Adults are drawn to the Catholic Church for many reasons and in many ways. They come to the Church with varying levels of knowledge and understanding but the one constant is that each has many questions. RCIA – the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults - is the process that allows adults to explore Catholicism, increase their understanding and get answers to their questions in an environment that is welcoming and responsive.
All RCIA meetings will be held virtually. If you are interested in participating – or know someone who is – please contact Kathy Drinkwine at [email protected] or at 715 394 3005. If there is no answer, please be sure to leave a message.
