Those that are having difficulties physically, emotionally, mentally or spiritually are especially invited. St. Paul Students Host Shoe Cutting Party for SOLE HOPE On Thursday, November 6th, students from St. Paul’s Catholic School were reminded that they are blessed with a nice home, food, and a few pairs of shoes in their closets. There is nothing wrong with that, except that they were also reminded that somewhere in the world, there are children beginning their day with barely enough to wear, no clean water, and no shoes. The children of Uganda walk, play, and work all day in harsh conditions with no shoes. The feet are where infections start. Students met with Dru Collie, Director of SOLE HOPE, and he shared his stories about the children he works with in Uganda, Africa who are infected with jiggers, which live in their feet. The infections can be so severe that the children are unable to walk. The students also got to watch a short video that visually detailed the situation these children face daily. SOLE HOPE provides education, medical support, and shoes through shoe cutting parties around the United States like the one that was held at St. Paul’s. School staff, students, and parents collected a huge number of denim jeans for the project and spent Thursday afternoon cutting the patterns for the shoe uppers. In total, over sixty pairs of shoes were assembled by the volunteers in a matter of hours. Students also collected band-aids, surgical gloves, stickers, cotton balls, and other needed items to be used at the medical clinics in Uganda. The assembled denim shoe uppers and medical supplies will travel with Dru Collie back to Uganda in the next few days. The service project was an eye opening experience for everyone who got to participate in the process. “A Catholic education is an advantage for life.” The Knights of Columbus Council 2014 is proud to announce the Scholarship Awards to Bishop Kelly HS.

Stewardship is giving thanks For many Catholics, we think seriously about stewardship when our parish or diocese raises money but real stewardship is about becoming more fulfilled and having a greater sense of purpose. It is giving back to God in gratitude for his gifts. And while it’s not just about money, good stewards have all the money they need. God’s family comes first. All families come together in love to care for each other, enjoy each other, and support each other. In God’s family, we come together in his love to care for each other, enjoy each other, and support each other. As good stewards, we meet the needs of God’s family first, before we spend time or money on anything else. Find your place. Ask God to help you discern and learn your place in his family. What are you to do with your gifts? Take your seat at the table. Find out where you can put your talents to work in your parish. Talk with your pastor, with the rectory staff, and with parish leaders. Think before spending. Before you commit your time or money to any purpose, make sure you have taken care of the needs of God’s family first. Everything we have and everything we are comes from God. He deserves the best we have to give in return. La buena administración es dar gracias Muchos católicos piensan seriamente sobre La administración cuando nuestra parroquia o nuestra diócesis recaudan fondos, pero la auténtica Buena administración tiene que ver con sentirnos más plenos y con entender mejor nuestra misión. Consiste en restituir a Dios lo debido en agradecimiento por sus dones. Y aunque no se trata sólo de dinero, los Buenos administradores tienen todo el dinero que necesitan. Lo primero es la familia de Dios. Todas las familias se unen con amor para cuidarse, para disfrutar y para apoyarse. En la familia de Dios nos unimos en su amor para cuidarnos, para disfrutar y para apoyarnos. Como buenos administradores atendemos primero a las necesidades de la familia de Dios antes de gastar tiempo o dinero en otra cosa. Encuentre su lugar. Pida ayuda a Dios para descubrir cuál es su lugar en su familia. ¿Qué va a hacer con sus dones? Siéntese a la mesa. Averigüe en qué puede serle más útil a su parroquia. Hable con el párroco, con el personal de la rectoría y con los líderes parroquiales. Piense antes de gastar. Antes de comprometer su tiempo o su dinero con algo en particular, cerciórese de que ya se ha ocupado de las necesidades de la familia de Dios. Todo lo que tenemos y todo lo que somos viene de Dios. Se merece que le restituyamos lo mejor que tengamos. Why Do Catholics Do That? Why do Catholics offer Masses for the dead? Judas Maccabee ordered prayers and sacrifices for Jewish soldiers who died in sin (2Maccabees 12:38-46). St. Paul’ prayed for Onesiphorus after his death (2Tm 1:18). Catholics believe that prayers and sacrifices benefit the dead. When we die in God’s friendship we eventually go to Heave, but if we haven’t properly atoned for certain sins we have to be purified in Purgatory first. We pray for the souls in Purgatory to help them pass through faster than they would otherwise. ¿Porque hacen eso los Católicos? ¿Por qué ofrecen misas los católicos por los difuntos? Judas Macabeo ordenó que se rezara y se ofrecieran sacrificios por los soldados judíos que murieron en pecado (2 Macabeos 12:38-46). San Pablo rezó por Onesíforo después de su muerte (2 Timoteo 1:18). Los católicos creen que las oraciones y los sacrificios benefician a los difuntos. Cuando morimos en la Amistad de Dios vamos al cielo, pero si no nos hemos purificado adecuadamente de ciertos pecados tenemos que ser purificados primero en el Purgatorio. Rezamos por las almas del Purgatorio para ayudarlas a que pasen por él más rápidamente. The Lord redeems the life of his servants; none of those who take refuge in him will be condemned. Psalm 34:22 Pero el Señor salva la vida a sus siervos; no serán castigados los que en el confían. Salmo 34:22 Youth Ministry News ICYC information is here!
