Week of Nov. 9, 2014
Greetings from Father Sam
Well! The moth of November has begun and we
know here in Manitoba old man winter can arrive at any
time! We prepare ourselves by making sure the snow-blower works, our winter boots are polished and protected
against moisture our gloves and scarfs are found and the
furnace is in good working order.
This year the season of Advent begins on Sunday,
November 30th. On that Sunday, we begin a new worship
year and the main Gospel is the Gospel of Mark. Mark was
the first Gospel written between 65-70 CE. Mark was a
second generation Christian possibly a follower of St. Peter
and he is called John Mark in the Acts of the Apostles. The
Gospel of Mark is the shortest of the four Gospels and
can be read in one sitting. The Gospel answers two fundamental questions: Who is this Jesus called the Christ? And
what does it mean to be His disciple? During this year, we
will listen to Mark, open his Gospel and celebrate our
Faith.

C.W.L. GENERAL MEETING
Development and Peace
Development and Peace is launching its new fall education
and awareness campaign “Sow Much Love”. The goal of the
campaign is to educate Canadians about the role of family
farmers as stewards of the world’s seeds, and to call on
Canadians to take action to support the rights of farmers in the
face of the growing threat of corporate control of seeds.
Today, small family farmers feed up to 80% of the population
in the global south, but their way of life is being threatened.
One of those threats is access to seeds. This fall, Development
and Peace continues to answer the call of Pope Francis to fight
the global scandal of hunger by supporting small family farmers in their struggle to maintain the world’s seed biodiversity.
Seeds are the heritage of family farmers and peasants, who preserve them to feed their families, their communities, and the
world. However, seeds are increasingly being controlled and
privatized by multinational companies. Without access to seeds,
the way of life of small family farmers and peasants is threatened. Under the slogan “Sow Much Love”, we are inviting you
to join our fall action campaign to educate Canadians about the
role of family farmers as stewards of the world’s seeds, and to
take action to support the right of farmers to use, conserve,
exchange, and save these seeds, which feed the world.
Over the next several weeks we invite you to visit our D & P
table set up at the back of the church and to consider signing
the petition asking our Federal Government to protect the
inherent rights of farmers to save, reuse and share seeds as they
have done for thousands of years. For more information on this
issue check the D&P website at www.devp.org
The C.W.L. general meeting will be held on Monday,
November 9, 2014 @ 7:00 pm. This is a very important
meeting to discuss the future direction of the C.W.L. We
urge all members to try to attend.
THANK YOU

helped at the Annual Spaghetti Dinner/Bake Sale/Silent
Auction held on October 26th. A special thank you to the
young ladies and young men from St. Mary’s Academy
and St. Paul’s High School, members from Holy Rosary
adult youth group and those husbands and friends who

our sponsors will appear in a later bulletin.

SETTIMANA 9 NOVEMBRE 2014
Saluti da padre Sam
Il mese di novembre é iniziato e qui in Manitoba
l’inverno puo arrivare da un momento all’altro! Ci prepariamo assicurandoci che lo spazzaneve funzioni, e che gli stivali invernali siano lucidati e protetti dall’umiditá. Ed i guanti e le sciarpe siano al loro posto e che la caldaia funzioni
bene. Quest’anno l’Avvento inizia Domenica 30 Novembre.
Con questa Domenica ha inizio un nuovo anno liturgico.
Il Vangelo principale è il Vangelo di Marco. Marco é
stato il primo ad essere scritto 65-70 CE. Marco era Cristiano
di seconda generazione, forse seguace di San Pietro e viene
chiamato Giovanni Marco negli Atti degli Apostoli. Il
Vangelo di Marco è il piú breve dei quattro vangeli e può
essere letto in una sola seduta. Il vangelo risponde a due
domande fondamentali: Chi é questo Gesú chiamato Cristo?
E cosa significa essere suo discepolo? Nel corso dell’anno
ascolteremo Marco. Apriamo il suo vangelo e celebriamo la
nostra fede.
