This Weeks' Parish Bulletin
32nd Sunday in Ordinary Time, November 10, 2024
The Word of God This Sunday
The First Reading tells us of a widow who risks the last bit of her flour and oil to respond to the prophet Elijah’s need. The story depicts the hundredfold God returns to those who are so exceptionally generous. The law of survival tells us to watch out for ourselves first. Jesus condemns those who live by this law (“receive a very severe condemnation”) and praises those who choose to give even out of their little. What does it mean to be a disciple of Jesus? Jesus tells us when he contrasts the behavior of the self-important scribes and the rich with the action of a poor and seemingly insignificant widow. Without calculating the cost to herself, the widow gave “all she had.” Disciples, too, give all they have without counting the cost, calculating self-gain, or seeking attention.

New Parish Faith Study –Fridays 1pm- 2:30pm - November 8- December 13
“Prayer: Finding Intimacy with God” with Dr. Tim Gray
Dr. Tim Gray masterfully shows how to make prayer an effective effort of love and intimacy. In six, 30 minute video sessions “Prayer: Finding Intimacy with God” provides lessons from our Catholic tradition and the saints to help us open our hearts and minds to the Word of God in the Bible as the means to hear from God and then respond in conversation, basking in his presence and resolving to live in and through his love. A study guide can be purchased to help follow the sessions and assist in your life of prayer. The weekly faith study will include times of prayer and discussion and will be held at St. John the Baptist Church, Port Severn. If interested, please sign up after Mass today!
From our Bishop
“PRIESTS AND DEACONS OF THE DIOCESE gathered for our Clergy Study Days, being held at Nottawasaga Inn last Tuesday to Thursday. We were enriched by the presentations from Fr. John-Mark Missio on liturgy and Dawn Michie on the implementation of the Diocesan Pastoral Plan. Our Vice-Chancellor, Robyn Henighan, updated us on plans in our diocese for the 2025 Jubilee Year, focused on the theme “Pilgrims of Hope. Fr. Tom Lynch and Fr. Charles Orchard spoke to us about the planning underway at Sacred Heart College Centre for Evangelization to assist parishes in their growth and outreach.
OUR CATHOLIC YOUNG ADULTS GROUP is thriving under the good shepherding of Father Stephen DeCarlo. Last Saturday, a group of over fifty young people in their twenties and thirties came together from Peterborough, Douro, Kawartha Lakes, the Lakeshore and beyond for an afternoon and evening of fun and socializing. Activities included soccer and football, a campfire, a hearty meal and some “Catholic-themed” pumpkin carving: the winner produced a likeness of St. Gregory the Great! They are planning other great events in the coming months, with excursions near and far. Anyone interested in participating should contact Fr. Stephen at the Youth Office. “
