LIFELINES

In the American tradition, people have a right to bring their beliefs to bear on every social, economic and political problem facing their community. For Christians, that’s not just a privilege. It’s not just a right. It’s a demand of the Gospel. Believers can’t be silent in public life and be faithful to Jesus Christ at the same time. Actively witnessing to our convictions and advancing what we believe about key moral issues in public life are acts of truth telling. They’re vital to the health of every democracy. And again, they’re also a duty—not only of our religious faith, but also of our citizenship. ~ Archbishop Charles J. Chaput, Archbishop of Philadelphia, “Life Matters: Religious Liberty and the American Soul”, Respect Life Program 2012

CATHOLIC MEDIA & COMMUNICATION: “Giving everyone the opportunity to read, see and hear the Good News.” Spreading the Gospel message far and wide is essential for service and evangelization.

website. CTV reaches more than 235,000 homes, hospitals and nursing facilities broadcasting the daily Mass and many other faith-based programs. The Diocesan website serves as a fully accessible resource about life in the Diocese. The website also includes videos of the daily Mass and the special liturgies celebrated at St. Peter’s Cathedral, the Bishop’s homilies and the latest news and updates. Next Weekend is Commitment Weekend for the Diocesan Annual Appeal Diocesan Appeal materials and pledge cards will be distributed to all parishioners.

RELEASE DATE: “THE VOICE OF JOHN” Executive Producers of River-Song-Productions. Inc. announced the release date for The Voice of John. Slated for national release November 4th of this year. This compelling documentary will take you deep into the heart of issues facing our country for over forty years. A multitude of national figures such as National Right to Life president Carol Tobias, former Governor Mike Huckabee, Dr. Alveda King, evangelist Perry Stone, Father Frank Pavone, Creation Museum CEO Ken Ham, Bill Baird, founder of the Pro-Choice League, as well as some of the most brilliant medical, political and philosophical minds of our time, weigh in on the most controversial issues of our time. Whether you are Pro-Life or Pro-Choice, Christian, Jew or Atheist, Liberal or Conservative, this film will illuminate the questions many were afraid to ask and compel you to ask yourself, what do I truly believe? Some may not have an opinion, but they will after they view this film. Does God exist, or is this all there is to this life? When does life begin? Who decides? What roll does or should the government play if any? Is society and our government trying to control who lives and who dies regardless of age? Come view the facts and decide for yourself. We guarantee one thing; you may never think of these topics the same, ever again! www.river-song-productions.org or www.voiceofjohn.org.

SPECIAL COLLECTIONS FOR THE CHRISTMAS SEASON Our Parish is participating in a number special collections for the upcoming Christmas Season. We ask for your help in reaching our goals for these collections. The first is collecting 250 boxes of Hot Chocolate Mix for the Susquehanna County Christmas Bureau. This group provides the ingredients for Christmas Dinner for low income families in Susquehanna County. Boxes will be in the back of the Churches for these donations. The deadline for donations is Monday, December 10th. (Hot Chocolate Mix is available at the Dollar stores at better prices than the grocery stores.)

The second is to collect men’s and women’s disposable razors to go to the St. Francis of Assisi Kitchen in Scranton. These are added to shoe boxes full of other toiletry articles given to guests at the Kitchen. About 200 men’s and 50 women’s razors are needed. Boxes will be in the back of the Churches for donations. Deadline is December 2nd. The third is collecting for “Christmas Stocking” a project to help us remember our troops at Christmas. We

will send a stocking to our Parishioners and other Service persons serving in the Armed Forces. This is a great idea to show our support for our troops, especially while they are away from home at Christmas. These items need to be sent by no later than December 1st to assure Christmas delivery, so donations are needed by Sunday, November 25th. Boxes will be in the back of the Churches for your donations. WE DO NOT NEED THE STOCKINGS ONLY THE STOCKING STUFFERS. If you have a friend or family member in the Armed Forces and would like them to receive a Christmas Stocking, please either put their names & addresses on a note in the collection basket or call the rectory with the information. A list of needed items will be in a later bulletin.

SPECIAL THANK YOU We would like to thank our parish family for your outpouring of love, support, and prayers during Chris' illness and passing. He really enjoyed all of the visits, cards, and calls, and talking about the old times. God Bless you all for your kindness, The Coleman Family

PARISH MISSION STATEMENT “We the faithful of the Roman Catholic Community of St. Brigid Parish, (St. Francis Xavier and St. Augustine Churches), in union with our Holy Father, the Pope, and the Diocese of Scranton, are called through baptism to share in the mission which Jesus Christ has entrusted to the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. We in this Faith Community, under the leadership of our Bishop and our Pastor, cooperate to proclaim the Gospel in accordance with the teaching of the Church, to celebrate the sacraments, especially the Eucharist, for the salvation of all, and to witness by grace to the Kingdom of God so as to promote a culture of life, justice and peace. We especially endeavor to foster spiritual growth and evangelization in our present and future generations by drawing parish members back to active participation.”
