In response to the Rohingya persecution in Myanmar, the Canadian Catholic Organi-zation for Development and Peace-Caritas Canada is working with Caritas Bangla-desh to support a food distribution pro-gram along the border with Myanmar. Development and Peace is also assisting Bangladesh with food and other emergency relief, given the enormous strain that the refugee crisis is having on their own country’s very limited resources. Until 28 November 2017 the Government of Canada will match all donations made to Development and Peace or any other eligi-ble Canadian charity. If you wish to make a f inancial contribution to the Myanmar Cri-sis Relief Fund, we invite you to consult the following website for instructions on how to proceed: https://www.devp.org/en/emergencies/bangladesh. Thank you! +Marcel Damphousse Bishop of Sault Ste. Marie

Development and Peace Caritas Canada invites you to consider becoming part of the action toward lasting peace. Let us join our voices to ask the Canadian Government to give women the resources they need in order to take their place, " At the Heart of Peacebuilding." As long as we continue to allow others to bar women from peace processes, we ourselves continue to bar humanity from lasting peace. Together in Solidarity, true peace is possible! Please Consider Signing the enclosed action card in this bulletin. You can place them in the yellow D&P box in St Anne's room from now until the beginning of Advent and they will be forwarded to the Prime Minister. For further information on the work of D&P please visit : devp.org or contact: Jan Poulin Zurawinski at [email protected]

The Thirty-Third Week of Ordinary Time
The Thirty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time brings us the familiar and powerful parable from Matthew's Gospel about the servants who are each given sums of money to invest. We are all called upon to use the gifts we have received as gifts, and to return them, fully developed, having made the best use of them. We remember the Memorial of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Memorial of Saint Cecilia, Virgin and Martyr, and the Memorial of Saint Andrew Dung-Lac, Priest, and Companions, Martyrs.
In this next to the last week of the Liturgical Year, we read from the First Book of Maccabees. These books are about the revolt against Jewish persecution a little over a century before Christ. The Maccabees are presented as a family that is faithful to the law in the midst of this persecution. Their witness is inspiring today. We have wonderful stories from Luke’s Gospel this week as Jesus moves toward and enters Jerusalem for the end of his ministry. Jesus heals the blind beggar near Jericho. The man immediately “followed him, giving glory to God.” Then Jesus meets Zacchaeus who is up in a tree - because he was short, but probably also because he’s a tax collector and was nervous about being caught in a zealous crowd. Jesus transforms him by inviting himself to Zacchaeus’ house for dinner. Near Jerusalem, Jesus tells a parable of a rejected king and servants who use the gifts given them faithfully. In Jerusalem, Jesus weeps over the city, foreseeing the destruction that is coming, “because you did not recognize the time of your visitation.” Entering the temple, Jesus drives out the old way of doing business and begins his ministry. He silences the Sadducees, over their doubt about resurrection from the dead. Sunday is the Thirty-Fourth or Last Sunday in Ordinary Time and the
Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ the King. Jesus tells the marvelous parable about how we will all be judged - as a shepherd separates sheep from goats, based upon our care for the poor: “Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of the least brothers of mine, you did for me.”
