Highlights:
- This weekend is World Mission Sunday It calls Catholics worldwide to support the Church where it’s young or challenged. Your prayers and donations provide essential resources for communities that cannot sustain themselves – funding church construction, pastoral care, education and healthcare. Together we fulfill our baptismal call to share the Gospel and become one Church bringing hope to all peoples.
- Looking for BIG shoe and boot boxes – Our local OCC team needs larger boxes to pack …. see more details in the post that follows
Society of St. Vincent de Paul News
Christmas still seems far away, but this is the time when the Vincentians have to start planning for the Christmas hampers for the less fortunate in our community. If you, or someone you know needs a hamper for Christmas, please call the parish office. We always hear in the gospel how much Jesus loves the poor, so please, do not be shy, it is our privilege to help.

- Reflection on Today’s Gospel
- Discussion Questions: Luke 18: 1-8
- Will God answer any prayer you pray if you offer it day and night, day after day without fail?
- How can we turn what we see as an unfair situation into a prayer for justice and mercy?
- Does our forgiveness play a role in these prayer petitions? Jesus ends this parable with ‘Yet when the Son of Man comes will he find faith on earth?’ What can we take away from this question.
