BULLETIN REFLECTION
We must be good stewards of God’s gifts to us,
receiving them gratefully and cultivating
them with care lest we be the ones about
whom John the Baptist speaks today: “Every
tree that does not bear good fruit will be cut
down and thrown into the fire.”
LIVING STEWARDSHIP
We are grateful this week for all stewards in
our parish who strive to consider how they
are fulfilling God’s purpose to be of service to
our parish and to the wider community.

Dear Parishioners,
The Giving Tree with Angels will be on display
in the rear of the church from November 26th
thru December 13th. Please take one or two
Angels on your way out after Mass.
Through your Generosity and Kindness, we can
provide for our fellow neighbors so they will
not be hungry and cold this season.
All gifts, excluding gift cards, should be placed
under the tree. Gift Cards should only be placed
in the collection baskets or brought to the
rectory. Please remember to attach the Angel to
your gift.
We greatly appreciate your continued support
and thank you for your contributions.
Lucy and the Volunteers
In today’s Gospel, John the Baptist urges us to
“Prepare the way of the Lord.” This is what
Advent is all about, for we are called to help
prepare the way of the Lord by making the real
meaning of Christmas come alive in our own
hearts, in our family and to reach out to those in
need.
Is there a family you know who needs
assistance? Please call the Society of St.
Vincent de Paul so that together we can
help the suffering and poor to celebrate
Christmas.
