STEWARDSHIP DEFINED "Stewardship is Discipleship. It is a way of life. The generous sharing of resources, including

money, is central to its practice." (USCCB) The Bishop's teaching on Stewardship is straight

forward. They do not "turn aside from the way" as did the priests who Malachi spoke of. But their

message is not meant to "tie up heavy burdens hard to carry" as the Pharisees did in Matthew's Gospel. No, the Bishop's teach this message of Stewardship

with the same love St. Paul had for the Thessalonians. They know the joy we get when we

give to help the Church carry out our mission. So, give in response to God's blessings.

Give out of love.

FOR YOUR MARRIAGE Fall Resolutions to Spark Your Marriage

Has your marriage fallen into a rut? Even good marriages go through the doldrums. The arrival of Fall, however, can bring new energy and purpose. Why not use this energy to reinvigorate your marriage? Here are four suggestions. 1. Read a book. Would you like to learn more about strengthening a new marriage, or dealing with the challenges of a long-established marriage? How about maximizing your time together, or raising faith-filled children? All these topics, and many more, have been the subject of our Book of the Month feature. Check out our reviews and find the perfect book to read and discuss together. 2. Try something new–together. Sign up for a class, anything from yoga to current affairs. Set aside one night each week to cook a new dish. Plan a day trip to a nearby town or historic site you haven’t yet seen. 3. Volunteer in the parish. Pope Saint John Paul II reminded married couples that their witness to love and life should extend beyond the immediate family. In focus groups with married couples, many participants said that volunteering in their parish helped to strengthen their marriage. Opportunities abound: teaching in the religious education program; serving as lectors or extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion; sponsoring a candidate in RCIA; or helping to organize the parish’s fall festival. 4. How about a Date Night? Don’t wait for the New Year; make a Fall Resolution to have a regular Date Night. Take turns planning your date, or compile a list of things you’d like to do on your date and work through it. We’ve put together some ideas for no cost, low cost, outdoors and at-home dates. http://www.foryourmarriage.org/fall-resolutions-to-spark-your-marriage/

BLACK CATHOLIC HISTORY MONTH

November is Black Catholic History Month. This month, we are honoring the men and women from Africa who have pioneered the faith! Many

forget that Christianity didn’t start in Europe. Black Catholics have had a huge impact on the history and

traditions of Christianity. The church has been celebrating Black Catholic History Month since 1990 when the National Black Catholic Clergy Caucus of the United States instigated it. November seemed

appropriate because it holds special days for two prominent African Catholics:

St. Augustine, whose birthday is on November 13th, and St. Martin de Porres, whose feast day is

celebrated on November 3rd. Three popes – St. Victor I, Malchiades, and Gelasius

I – were born in Africa and led the early church through much turmoil. There are also many

Black Catholic saints (Monica of Hippo, Augustine of Hippo, Perpetua, and Felicitas, to name a few) and leaders (such as Rev. Augustus Tolton and

Daniel Rudd) whose actions and witnesses of faith helped shape the church into what it is today.

MEN CLUB MEETING Our Monthly Men’s Club Meeting will be held

Wednesday, November 8th beginning at 6:45 p.m.

PRAYER OF THE WEEK

Prayer to Saint Michael for Powerful Aid Glorious Prince of the heavenly hosts

and victor over rebellious spirits, be mindful of me who am so weak and sinful

and yet so prone to pride and ambition. Lend me, I pray,

thy powerful aid in every temptation and difficulty, and above all do not forsake me

in my last struggle with the powers of evil. Amen.

SAINT OF THE WEEK Saint Leo the Great

With apparent strong conviction of the importance of the Bishop of Rome in the Church,

and of the Church as the ongoing sign of Christ’s presence in the world, Leo the Great

displayed endless dedication as pope. Elected in 440, he worked tirelessly as

“Peter’s successor,” guiding his fellow bishops as “equals in the episcopacy and infirmities.”

It is said of Leo that his true significance rests in his doctrinal insistence on the

mysteries of Christ and the Church and in the supernatural charisms of the spiritual life given to humanity in Christ and in his Body, the Church.

Thus Leo held firmly that everything he did and said as pope for the administration of the Church

represented Christ, the head of the Mystical Body, and Saint Peter, in whose place Leo acted.

WEEKLY REFLECTION

At a time when there is widespread criticism of Church structures, we also hear criticism that

bishops and priests—indeed, all of us— are too preoccupied with administration

of temporal matters. Pope Leo is an example of a great administrator who used his talents

in areas where spirit and structure are inseparably combined: doctrine, peace, and pastoral care.

He avoided an “angelism” that tries to live without the body, as well as the “practicality”

that deals only in externals. ~Fr. Don Miller, OFM
