Our Lady of Hope This Week

TODAY, AS WE HEAR ABOUT THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN, WE ARE REMINDED TO BE STEADFAST IN OUR CHRISTIAN FAITH, HOPE AND LOVE

Jesus uses a parable to teach us about the reality of heaven. He warns us not to become drowsy in our faith, like the virgins who in their foolish lack of preparation bring no oil with them. Instead, Je-sus teaches that we are to live in such a way that we are ready to meet the Lord.

2017 FAITH Catholic-Publishing and Communications

LITURGY OF THE WORD

The first reading reminds us that wisdom is found by those who desire and seek her. The second reading exhorts us to live buoyed by the hope of eternal life in heaven. In the Gospel, Jesus tells the parable of the ten virgins, which reminds us of the importance of staying awake for we do not know the day or hour Jesus will return.

2017 FAITH Catholic-Publishing and Communications

STEWARDSHIP THOUGHT FOR THE THIRTY-SECOND SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

Like the sensible bridesmaids in today’s parable, good stewards make sure that they, and whatever gifts are theirs to share, stand ready to serve when the Master calls.

A MESSAGE FROM OUR PASTOR

Veterans Day is an official United States public holiday observed annually on November 11 and honors persons who served in the US Armed Forc-es. It coincides with other holidays, including Ar-mistice Day, celebrated in other countries that mark the anniversary of the end of World War I. Major hostilities of World War I were formally end-ed at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918 when the Armistice with Germany went into effect. The United States previously ob-served Armistice Day and in 1954, renamed it Vet-erans Day. Let us remember, with prayers and gratitude, the service of our veterans!

Last Sunday, November 5 at the Wheatley Hills Golf and Country Club, a wonderful brunch was shared in celebration of our 30th Anniversary as a parish. Thanks to all who attended! It was a great afternoon. Particular thanks to our Steering Com-mittee members who worked so diligently: Frances Barbuto, Larry Boone, Bill Horan, Edmund Kelly, Tony Pereira and Henry So! Thanks also to Natalie Boone for her tremendous work on the commemo-rative journal.

ALTAR BREAD, ROSE FOR LIFE & SANCTUARY CANDLE

If you wish to donate the bread and wine for the week’s Sunday and daily Eucharist celebrations, the offering is $50. Opportunities to donate a Rose for Life are also available. The offering is $5 per week. The sanctuary candle is available for memo-rialization. The offering is $15.

Last Sunday’s collection 11/5/17 $12,984,99

Same Last Year $10,528.50

Weekly amount needed $9,456.00

CMA $1,305.00

Attendance 11/5/17 781

Thank you for your generosity in returning to God some

of what He has given you.

COLLECTION FOR CCHD AND HOME MISSIONS

Next week, we will take up the Collection for the Catholic Campaign for Human Development which includes Home Mission (CCHD). CCHD was founded 40 years age by the bishops of the United States when they realized that the lives of those in need would not improve until the systems and policies that keep people in poverty were changed. For 40 years, CCHD has funded community groups that seek jus-tice and create lasting change. Fight Poverty in America. Defend human dignity. Give to the CCHD Collection.

ROSARY ALTAR SOCIETY
