Weekly Message
Dearly Beloved Parishioners,
Grateful Living, Joyful Giving
How blessed we are at St. Mary Magdalene knowing that God is good all the time, and all
the time God is good! The widow in today’s gospel was commended by Jesus for her sacrificial giving because she contributed all she had. Next weekend, we shall be introducing
the “Grateful Living, Joyful Giving” program to parishioners at our Masses.
The past year has been one of tremendous change for our parish with the arrival of the priests of the
Missionary Society of St. Paul. Due to the welcoming spirit of our parish, we are registering new parishioners, our ministries are expanding and we are growing new ones. Early this year, we conducted a survey of where we are as a parish. The survey has brought us to a better understanding that our parishioners need more opportunities to meet and grow in their faith apart from the regular Sunday attendance. The result of the survey has led to a Master Plan that is still in progress.
When the Finance Council presented the budget for this fiscal year, we made a very conservative budget based on the economic situation of our environment at this time. Even as we take this into consideration, we do not want to slow the growth of the various ministries. We want to be able to meet the
needs of all those who come to our parish looking for growth in their faith and for their children. We
also want to do this in a very comfortable way. That is why it is so important to maintain our facilities
and make some improvements where they are needed.
My sincere thanks to the many parishioners who are already giving sacrificially. We need every parishioner to do this. We must increase our Sunday offertory collection in order to continue to expand our
mission as a parish community. I urge our new and returning parishioners to support the parish generously. I realize that much has already been asked of our long-time parishioners. God bless your giving.
Nevertheless, I ask that you consider making more sacrifices as our faith matters. Prayerfully consider
increasing the level of your financial support to the parish. There are so many improvements needed in
the parish. We want to pay off our debt. We want to expand our ministries. We want to add visual technology to the sanctuary to enhance our worship. We will be able to achieve these and many more goals
with more parishioners committing themselves to a grateful living, joyful giving. I count on all
parishioners to make sacrifices and increase their weekly offering.
You will be receiving a brochure in the mail this week. Please review its contents and prayerfully consider how you can support our parish even more. Our goal through this program is to substantially increase our regular offertory contributions. Other parishes that have conducted similar programs have
seen their offertory increase between 20% and 40%. Please review the suggested guidelines for giving
which are enclosed. A special Commitment Sunday will be held at Masses next weekend,
November 14th and 15th, where each family will be asked to make a prayerful sacrifice
and complete a Commitment Card of the gifts they will share to support the works of St.
Mary Magdalene Church.
Thank you so much for your involvement in the life of our parish. Jesus praised the widow in the gospel
today. The widow in the first reading also had her needs met as she generously provided for the need of
the prophet Elijah. God cannot be outdone in generosity. Let us live our lives gratefully for God’s providence and also give joyfully in support of the Church. I am extremely appreciative of everyone’s past
generosity to the parish. I thank you in advance for your support, understanding, generosity and kindness.
—Fr Felix

Share Your Blessings is a Christmas gift program, operated by the Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston, that provides toys and other gifts for
children ages 0-17. Last year, we provided Christmas presents for more than 971 children, but we couldn’t do it
without your help! For many of these children, this will be
the only gift they receive this Christmas. We want to serve
both the children and their parents so they don’t have to
make a choice between Christmas presents or other necessities this holiday season.
Starting the weekend of November 7th, 2015, you may
choose an angel from the tree in the narthex, purchase a
gift for that child, and bring the unwrapped gift by December 7th, 2015. You may drop off your gift before Mass
under the tree in the Narthex or at the parish office
Monday through Friday.
VIRTUS Training
The next “Protecting God’s Children” VIRTUS
class here at St. Mary Magdalene Catholic
Church will be held on Thursday, November 19th, 2015 from
6-9 P.M. in St. Mary’s Hall.
The Archdiocesan Office of Safe Environment requires that all
volunteers and employees of St. Mary Magdalene Catholic
Church attend VIRTUS Training.
If you took the Protecting God’s Children class before 2010, you
MUST take a Keeping the Promise Alive refresher class to maintain your VIRTUS status. If you do not complete the refresher,
you CANNOT participate in anything involving minors.
Please make every effort to maintain your VIRTUS status. Visit
www.virtus.org for registration. If you have any questions,
please contact Linda Enloe at (281) 389-1820 or
e-mail Linda at [email protected].

Start building up your blood for our next blood
drive, Sunday, November 15th, 2015 in the Family
Life Center from 8:30 A.M.-2:30 P.M. Donating blood
is an excellent work of mercy that costs you nothing
but a pint of blood and less than one hour of your
time. Plus, you can feel good about saving up to 3 lives
with your 1 donation. Make an appointment at the
back of the church after Mass, or sign up online at
giveblood.org. If it is more convenient for you, call
Loretta Schermock at (832) 640-9357 to make an appointment. All blood types are needed.

Adoration News
Wreaths Across America is a national non-profit organization
founded in 2007 with a mission of “Remember, Honor, Teach.”
Part of that mission is carried out by coordinating wreath laying
ceremonies in Arlington National Cemetery, as well as veterans'
cemeteries and other locations in all 50 states, ceremonies at sea,
and 24 national cemeteries on foreign soil.
Each month, St. Mary Magdalene Catholic students pick a community service project. For the month of December, our 5th
graders are raising money for Wreaths Across America. For every
$15 raised, a wreath will be placed on a veteran's grave at the
Houston Veterans Memorial Cemetery on Saturday, December
12. To donate money towards the wreaths, please go to
www.wreathsacrossamerica.org, click on the “Sponsor Locally”
link, type in “St. Mary Magdalene Catholic Community” in the
“Find a Fundraising Group” search field, then click on the
“Donate” link. You can also drop off donations at the front office of the school.
The students are also raising funds by selling t-shirts honoring
our active duty military and veterans. Each shirt purchased also
funds a wreath. The campaign page for the t-shirts is
www.booster.com/smmcs-waa and will continue until November
19th.
The 5th graders would like to invite everyone in our St. Mary
Magdalene Catholic Community to join them on December 12,
2015, as they place wreaths on the graves at the Houston National Cemetery (10410 Veterans Memorial Dr., Houston TX).
The next devotion to the Holy Souls will take place
in the chapel on Monday, Nov. 9, at 7:00 P.M. All
are invited to pray for the souls of our loved ones
who may be in Purgatory awaiting our prayers. The love
we showed them while alive can be carried forward after
their physical death.
November is a good time to consider spending some
time with Our Lord in Adoration. He waits in our chapel
for us to come and give Him thanks, ask forgiveness, give
adoration, place petitions, and pray for others and ourselves. Don’t deny yourself the pleasure of His company
during this earthly life.
Flower Bouquets for the Sanctuary
A wonderful way to remember a deceased loved one, or to celebrate a special occasion such as an anniversary, birthday, or
special intentions, is to place a bouquet of flowers in the sanctuary for Sunday Masses. Your name and the name of the person you are honoring will be published in the Sunday bulletin.
A donation of $75 will help defray the cost of the flowers. Requests and donations can be made at the office. Please allow
two weeks before your special dates so they will make the bulletin deadline. NO REQUESTS DURING ADVENT.
NORTHEAST CATHOLIC SINGLES, A MINISTRY FOR

CCE / Faith Formation Classes: With week #7 of our CCE classes coming up, we are “one-third” of the way
through the school-year! Classes will be held on Sunday, November 8th at 3:00pm // Tuesday, November 10th at
6:00pm // Wednesday, November 11th at 6:00pm in the St. Paul Center. Parents are reminded that as we endure
“cold and flu” season, ALL students who are ill MUST be symptom-free for a full 24 hours before being sent to
CCE {just like school}… We want to do everything possible to keep the catechists and students safe. This is why
we allow for up to six (6) absences from CCE! We do still have limited space for students who are not yet registered for CCE / Formation classes; parents should contact the Formation Office immediately to check on session / grade-level availability.
“Youth Nights”: We are pleased to offer two “Youth Nights” per week, one for middle school and one for high
school. The high school youth event will be on Sunday, November 8th from 6:30pm – 8:00pm; the middle school

Youth Room. All our youth events are open to all youth (Catholic or not); bring a friend, or come make a new
one, and get to know Carissa Bull, our new Coordinator of Youth Ministry. The Youth Room is located in the St.
Paul Center – at the corner of Isaacks Rd. and Ferguson St.
First Reconciliation Meeting: Our second Reconciliation session is coming on Monday, November 9th from
6:00pm – 7:30pm. It is required that a parent and the student attend all remaining sacrament sessions! Parents
should take their child(ren) to the 2-story Education Building and find their grade-level class… After that, proceed
to either the Church {parent meeting in English} or the Family Life Center {parent meeting in Spanish}. THE
STUDENTS DO NOT ATTEND THE PARENT MEETING - they go to grade-level classes in the Education
Building. Please make sure Chapters 1, 2, and 3 are complete and that your child is learning the required prayers.
If you have not yet purchased the blue sacrament book for each child, please come by our offices to do that as

Shopping With Jesus
Ivana T. Meshell, Director of Adult Faith Formation
On my day off recently, I was getting groceries and heard White Christmas being played in the
store. This was on All Souls Day. To be fair (from the direction of the sound) it was probably a toy or a
doll, not the store intercom, but it’s still unnerving to hear White Christmas on the 2nd of November
(especially in Texas, right?). It got me thinking: can we as Catholic Christians strive to make the holiday
shopping season different this year? We who are baptized are chosen by God to live our lives differently,
in a way that reflects our Christian values first, not the values of this world. Because we are constantly
bombarded with advertising and messages from the merchants and media about what is important, it
takes a deliberate, conscious, and consistent effort for us and disciples of Jesus to decide what is best
for ourselves and our families in light of Christ and the teachings of his Church because the voice of the
culture is often far louder than the sound of our faith echoing in our ears. We must turn to God and listen.
There is nothing wrong with shopping if it is done—as everything else—with serious consideration to
how Jesus wants us to think and act so that we may live as God’s children, living the baptism we have
received. Shop with Jesus in mind!
Simple suggestions to a more Christ-valued holiday season:
1. Think about how you are going to choose God-centered values this holiday season and discuss your
ideas with your loved ones. Start doing this now so the “Christmas rush” does not swallow you whole!
2. Do everything you can not to shop on Sundays—not in the store and not on the Internet. There is absolutely no Christmas present we need enough to break God’s commandments to get it. The world
will tell us otherwise, and we will have to plan ahead so that we don’t find it “necessary” to shop on
Sunday. It’s time for us to obey the 3rd commandment and tell the world “No, we will not live this way;
we have given ourselves to Christ.” Make exceptions according to what is truly necessary.
3. Consider what gifts would truly enrich the lives of the recipients. Acquiring more items to possess is
not always the best form of gift. Perhaps there are other ways to give, such as giving experiences
rather than things. Visit, have a good meal together, experience something new with friends and
loved ones. Pray together. Go to a church function together. Or offer some form of food as a gift. Perhaps offer a portion of your gift to a charitable cause. For example, our parish blanket drive begins in
January. Why not give a card saying that you will donate a new blanket to the drive in someone’s
name?
4. Go out of your way to be kind to the people in the stores. Thank your checkout person at the beginning of your transaction, not the customary, bland “thank you” at the end. Allow others to go first.
Smile at people. Put things back where you found them. Be heroically patient. People notice these
things. No amount of preaching matters if we don’t preach with our lives.
What will you do this year to fill your shopping experiences with the love of Jesus? Share with me
your insights: [email protected]. Be sure to sign up for FlockNotes on our parish home page

P.11
Especialmente para nuestra Comunidad Hispana
Queridos parroquianos,
Viviendo Agradecidos, Donando Alegremente
¡Que bendecidos estamos aquí en Santa María Magdalena al saber que Dios es bueno todo el
tiempo, y que todo el tiempo Dios es bueno! Jesús elogió a la viuda en el evangelio de hoy por
dar con mucho sacrificio, ya que contribuyó todo lo que tenía. El próximo fin de semana estaremos introduciendo el programa de ofertorio “Viviendo Agradecidos, Donando Alegremente” a nuestros miembros en las misas.
El pasado año ha sido uno de gran cambio para nuestra parroquia con la llegada de los sacerdotes de la Sociedad Misionera de San Pablo. Gracias al espíritu acogedor de nuestra parroquia, estamos inscribiendo a
nuevos miembros, nuestros ministerios están creciendo y estamos empezando nuevos ministerios. Al comienzo de este año llevamos a cabo una encuesta para saber cómo estamos como una parroquia. Esta encuesta nos ha traído un mejor conocimiento que nuestros miembros necesitan más oportunidades para conocerse los unos a los otros y también de crecer en su fe más allá de la asistencia regular de los domingos.
Los resultados de esta encuesta han llevado a un Plan Maestro que todavía está en curso.
Cuando el Concejo Financiero presentó el presupuesto para este año fiscal, hicimos un presupuesto muy
conservador basado en la situación económica de nuestro ambiente en ese momento. Aunque tomamos eso
en consideración, tampoco queremos atrasar el crecimiento de los varios ministerios. Queremos poder cumplir con todas las necesidades de todos los que vienen a nuestra parroquia para crecer en su fe y también por
sus niños. También queremos hacer esto de una manera muy cómoda. Es por esto que es tan importante
mantener nuestras instalaciones en buenas condiciones y mejorar lo que se necesite.
Quiero agradecer muy sinceramente a todos los miembros que ya están dando con mucho sacrificio. Necesitamos que cada miembro haga lo mismo. Necesitamos aumentar nuestra colecta de los domingos para poder continuar la expansión de nuestra misión como una comunidad. Les imploro a nuestros miembros nuevos y los que ya han estado con nosotros por mucho tiempo que apoyen a la parroquia generosamente. Yo sé
que ya hemos pedido mucho de los miembros que han estado con nosotros por muchos años. Que Dios bendiga su generosidad. Sin embargo, les pido que consideren hacer más sacrificios por nuestra parroquia ya
que la fe importa. A través de la oración, consideren aumentar el nivel de su apoyo financiero a la parroquia.
Hay tanto que podemos mejorar aquí en la parroquia. Queremos terminar de pagar nuestras deudas. Queremos crecer nuestros ministerios. Queremos instalar tecnología visual en el santuario para mejorar nuestra
experiencia de alabanza. Podremos lograr estas y muchas otras metas si más miembros se comprometen a
estar viviendo agradecidos y donando alegremente. Yo espero que todos los miembros hagan sacrificios y aumenten su donación de cada semana.
Recibirán un folleto en el correo esta semana. Por favor revisen sus contenidos y consideren, a través de la
oración, como pueden apoyar a su parroquia aún más. Por medio de este programa, nuestra meta es aumentar considerablemente nuestras contribuciones regulares del ofertorio. Otras parroquias que han llevado a
cabo programas parecidos han visto crecer a su ofertorio entre 20% y 40%. Por favor revisen las sugerencias
para donaciones que están incluidas con el folleto. Un domingo especial de compromiso se llevará a
cabo en las misas del próximo fin de semana, el 14 y 15 de noviembre, en donde cada familia
se le pedirá que hagan un sacrificio y llenen una Carta de Compromiso de las donaciones que
darán para apoyar las obras de la Iglesia de Santa María Magdalena.
Muchísimas gracias por estar involucrados en la vida de nuestra parroquia. Jesús elogió a la viuda en el
evangelio de hoy. Las necesidades de la viuda en la primera lectura también fueron realizadas después de
proveer generosamente por las necesidades del profeta Elías. A Dios no se le puede sobrepasar en generosidad. Vivamos nuestras vidas en gran agradecimiento por la providencia de Dios y también dar alegremente
en apoyo de la Iglesia. Estoy sumamente agradecido con la generosidad de todos a esta parroquia. Les agradezco a todos de antemano por su apoyo, comprensión, generosidad y amabilidad.
—Padre Felix

Comparte Tus Bendiciones es un programa de regalos
navideños dirigido por las Caridades Católicas de la Arquidiócesis de Galveston-Houston. Este programa provee
juguetes y otros regalos para niños de 0-17 años de edad.
El año pasado pudimos proveer regalos de Navidad para
mas de 971 niños, ¡y no lo hubiéramos podido lograr sin
su ayuda! Para muchos de estos niños, este será el único
regalo que recibirán esta Navidad. Queremos servir tanto
a los niños como a sus padres para que no tengan que
escoger entre regalos navideños o otras necesidades durante estas fiestas.
Empezando el fin de semana del 7 de noviembre del
2015, pueden escoger un ángel del árbol que estará en el
atrio de la iglesia. Luego pueden comprar un regalo para
ese niño y traer el regalo sin envolver antes del 7 de diciembre 2015. Pueden poner su regalo debajo del árbol
en el atrio antes de misa o en la oficina de la parroquia de
lunes a viernes.
Programa de Ofertorio “Viviendo Agradecidos,
Donando Alegremente”
Durante las próximas semanas, estarán recibiendo información acerca del programa de ofertorio “Viviendo Agradecidos, Donando Alegremente” que se llevará a cabo próximamente aquí en la Iglesia Católica de Santa María Magdalena. Este programa de ofertorio es muy importante ya
que avanzamos con la misión y visión de nuestra Comunidad Católica. Nosotros como familia hemos cambiado tantas vidas en nuestra comunidad al servir al pueblo de Dios.
Para poder continuar en nuestra misión y nuestros ministerios, animamos a todos los miembros de nuestra parroquia que reflexionen en las necesidades de la parroquia, al
igual que su nivel actual de donaciones, a través de la oración y en discusiones con su familia. Esperamos ver a todos nuestros miembros en misa, especialmente durante
nuestro Fin de Semana de Compromiso — el 14 y 15 de
noviembre 2015. Si aun tienen preguntas acerca del programa de ofertorio “Viviendo Agradecidos, Donando Alegremente”, por favor llamen a la oficina de la parroquia.

de su tiempo. Además, se puede sentir bien de poder salvar
hasta 3 vidas con una sola donación. Hagan una cita después
de misa en la mesa de la campaña de donación de sangre o
