Stewardship Moment: “And then they will see ‘the Son of Man coming in the clouds’ with great power and glory.” (Mark 13:26) We will all have that day when we are standing before God and our life is played out like a movie. When this happens and God asks each of us, “What have you done with the gifts that I have given you?” How will you respond? The good news – it’s never too late to start living a grateful and generous lifestyle.

Today, our parish will take up the 140th annual National Black and Indian Mission Collection. Thank you for your generous support!

Next Fri-Sun (Nov 22-24) Fr. Leier will be with family in Minneapolis celebrating a wedding for his cousin. Fr. Bernard Pfau will cover the weekend Masses for us here while Fr. Leier is away. We look forward to having you, Fr. Pfau!

Community Thanksgiving Service: Next Sunday, Nov 24th at 7:00 pm at Federated Church.
Fellowship, coffee and bars following the service. A collection will be taken for the Ministerial Association.

HEAVENLY WISDOM by Venerable Fulton Sheen: “Broken things are precious. We eat broken bread because we share in the depth of our Lord and His broken life. Broken flowers give perfume. Broken incense is used in adoration. A broken ship saved Paul and many other passengers on their way to Rome. Sometimes the only way the good Lord can get into some hearts is to break them.”

Holy Father’s Prayer Intention for November: We pray that all parents who mourn the loss of a son or daughter find support in their community and receive peace & consolation from the Holy Spirit.

 St Elizabeth’s will be having their annual food drive for the Wells Co. Food Pantry during the month of November.

Stewardship Moment: “I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all the other contributors to the treasury. For they all contributed out of their abundance; but she out of her poverty has put in everything she had, her whole living.” (Mark 12:43-44) Jesus gets right to the point – we are all called to give money to support the mission of the Church, regardless of our circumstance. No gift is too small or insignificant!
Giving money to support the mission of our local parish is a matter of our faith, just like praying and participating in parish ministries. When you make a financial offering, is it from your “first fruits” or from what is “left over”?

Next Sunday, Nov. 17th,our parish will take up the 140th annual National Black and Indian Mission Collection. Envelopes are in your box set. Please make your check payable to St. Elizabeth.

Stewardship Moment: “And ‘to love him with all your heart, with all your understanding, with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself’ is worth more than all the burnt offerings and sacrifices.” (Mark 12:33) Of all the gifts that God gives us, the one He wants the most is our heart. He wants us to share out of our love for Him, not out of obligation. Using our talent in parish ministry and contributing money to support our parish mission is important, but it’s more important to spend time in prayer with God daily and discern how He is calling us to be generous with all of our gifts. Not just the visible ones, but the invisible ones like love, mercy and forgiveness.

On Retreat: Dear brothers & sisters—I will be away at Maryvale this week from Mon–Fri on my annual spiritual retreat. Weekday Masses, Adoration, and Confessions will be cancelled while I’m gone. Know that I will be lifting you all up in prayer during this time of spiritual rest and renewal, please pray for me as well. Thank you and God bless! –Fr.Leier
