FROM THE PASTOR’S DESK

We Are ON FIRE Program

Here is a shout out to all our parishioners who responded to the We Are

ON FIRE Program. Whatever you discerned as appropriate for you at this

time, please know that your commitment to intentional support of our

shared parish mission is a blessing. Thank you for allowing the parish we

love to meet its needs and follow its dreams. A summary report will be

mailed to all participants in the next few weeks.

If you did indicate an increase in your intentional giving, please remember

to begin your new level by way of the Sunday Offertory envelopes or by

going online and adjusting your designated Offertory.

We Are ON FIRE Because Of YOU!

Stewardship Prayer

My parish is composed of people like me.

I help make it what it is.

It will be friendly, if I am.

It will be holy, if I am.

Its pews will be filled, if I help fill them.

It will do great work, if I work.

It will be prayerful, if I pray.

It will make generous gifts to many causes,

if I am a generous giver.

It will bring others into worship,

if I invite and bring them in.

It will be a place of loyalty and love,

of fearlessness and faith, of compassion,

charity, and mercy, if I, who make it what it is,

am filled with these same things.

Therefore, with the help of God,

I now dedicate myself to

the task of being all the things

that I want my parish to be.

Amen.

Hello families and friends of Corpus Christi Academy. It is my pleasure to share everything

that is “The Academy” with you. As the weather gets colder and the days get shorter it

really gives our Eagles a chance to renew their dedication to their school work. With the

first quarter having passed, we now focus on continuing to build upon our successes and

develop the areas that require growth. This is done through hard work, communication, and

collaboration. It requires all of us working together to ensure the sustained success of all of

our students at a very high level. Please continue to work with your children at home,

challenge them to SOAR to new levels, and encourage them to reach out to their teachers

and cultivate an environment where learning is a shared success. It is very similar to

building our faith in Christ. It takes communication, collaboration, and a willingness to

work on our shortcomings. As always, we will keep all of you in our prayers. Please do so

for the Corpus Christi Academy students, faculty, and staff.

As for ME AND MY HOUSE, We will serve the Lord! - Joshua 24:15

God Bless,

Matt Tabar, Principal

Symbolon Living the Faith

Catholic Social Teaching: Protecting the Dignity of the Human Person

Catholic Social Teaching isn’t just for Catholics; it’s for the entire world. It is a way to think about and

act on the issues that face all of us in order to bring about a greater flourishing and happiness of every

human person. It’s a way to help all people live in accord with basic human dignity and to bring about

true and lasting peace in the world.

In the December session of Symbolon, we will consider how it is that when we encounter those in need,

we encounter the Lord Himself. This is the bottom line of Catholic Social Teaching. We will meet at

Saint Paschal on Monday, December 2 from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. in the KAZEL ROOM or at

Saint Clare on Thursday, December 5 from 12:30 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. in the Harvest Room. There is no

registration fee, so please just come and become part of this exciting adult faith formation program.

If you cannot attend either of these sessions, we invite you to watch the video on FORMED

(http://www.saintclare.formed.org) and join the online community to share your questions and

comments. If you have any questions or would like further information, call Barb Curran at

440-840-5511 or Rosalie Lewis at 440-227-8718.

Rejoice in the Lord!

Advent Family Night

Saturday, December 7, 5:30-7:30 p.m.

In the Academy Gym

Please join us for our annual Advent Family Night. This is a fun evening for families to come together

during the waiting days of Advent to prepare for Christmas. Come join us as we look beyond the

decorations of the season to the event that shapes our celebration, the birth of Christ our Savior. We

have a prayer service, pizza, a movie and family activities. We encourage grandparents, single friends

and neighbors to join your family for this special evening. BRING A SNACK TO SHARE.

RSVP by Friday, December 6, to Ms. Lori Mascia, 440-449-4242, extension 119 or

lmascia.stclare@att.net. Registration forms are also available in the business office.

“Let us go rejoicing to the house of the Lord.” ~ Psalm 122

Annual Day of Recollection

The Feast of Christ the King is Sunday, November 24.

All are welcome to attend the Annual Day of

Recollection for the Feast of Christ the King on Sunday,

of Saint Stanislaus, 3649 East 65th Street, Cleveland,

Ohio. Mass will be celebrated at 11:30 a.m. followed

by Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament and Eucharistic

Gratitude. What are a few local

celebrities thankful for this season? Read

American Heritage Girls

Shoe Collection Drive

The American Heritage Girls are

starting their biannual Shoe Collection

drive. By cleaning out your closets,

you can help support our Troop and

help others in developing countries by

repurposing your shoes. Our goal is

2,600 pairs of shoes by January 18.

We are looking for new or gently used

shoes (all kinds—adults, kids, boots,

sandals, high heels).

There will be collection boxes in the

back of the church. Please put your

donated shoes in there. If there are

any questions, please contact Christy

Raynor at 440-684-0549. Thank you

for your support.

Boxes of Joy Campaign

The American Heritage Girls would like to thank everyone who helped us in our Krispy Kreme Donut Sale.

We sold over 150 dozen donuts. The proceeds went to support the Troop and the Cross Catholic Outreach

Boxes of Joy Campaign. We sent 32 Boxes of Joy to their Campaign. The Boxes of Joy will be distributed

during Christmas to children in the greatest need throughout the world. The Troop was able to send

$600.00 to Cross Catholic Outreach to help with the shipping and buying of additional Boxes of Joy. Each

box costs $9.00 to ship, and the additional funds will enable Cross Catholic Outreach to fill extra boxes. The

box is a shoebox filled with items such as stuffed animals, school items, hygiene items and small toys, which

each girl in the Troop puts together themselves. Look for our ad again next year. Thanks once again for

your support!
