Catholicism 101 Season 3 - St. Margaret Mary Parish

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
Best wishes to all our families!
We thank each and everyone of you
who are supporting our parish with
your prayers, generosity and sacrifice.
Many of us want things for a cheap or a reduced price,
yet we are told that the best things in life are free. God
generously gives us all that we need. We can enjoy
God’s abundance in this life and the next by listening
to the Lord and following his will in our daily lives.
What a bargain.
BISHOP’S ALTAR SERVERS AWARDS
On the recommendation of our parish
priests, the Serra Club of the Archdiocese
of Toronto has come to recognize some of
the outstanding Altar Server in our
parish for the Bishop’s Altar
Server Award for Service.
Candidates were chosen for this
special honour because we feel
that they have a good
understanding and appreciation of their
responsibilities at the altar, are faithful in their altar
duties and provide leadership to new servers. The
awards ceremony was celebrated by His Excellency,
the Most Reverend Wayne Kirkpatrick, on Saturday,
October 11, 2014, at St. Clare of Assisi Church in
Woodbridge. Our heartfelt congratulations go out to
all of our faithful Altar Servers! We are very proud of
you and your ongoing dedication.

THANKSGIVING FOOD DRIVE

less fortunate in our community. You may drop
off your items in the side foyer after Masses or
during the week.
WORLD MISSION SUNDAY
Next Sunday is World Mission Sunday. Every
parish across the world will celebrate World
Mission Sunday next week. It is a global sign of
the Universal Church and Mission. Your prayers
and donations will help support churches,
hospitals, schools and vocations in countries where
the Church is beginning, where it is new. Please
be as generous as possible to the collection for the
Propagation of the Faith, for more than 1120
dioceses in Asia, Africa, Latin America, the
Pacific Islands and some of our Canadian dioceses
depend on the World Mission collection.

XXVIII DOMENICA DEL TEMPO
ORDINARIO
Come riuscirà la Chiesa,
Sposa di Cristo, a presentare
agli uomini del nostro
mondo, della nostra società
post-cristiana, l’incredibile
invito del Padre alle nozze di
suo Figlio? Come far sedere
alla tavola di questo
“banchetto di grasse vivande,
di cibi succulenti, di vini
raffinati” un’umanità apparentemente senza
appetito? Questo compito appassionante di tutta la
Chiesa - questa nuova evangelizzazione - deve
occupare tutti i figli del nuovo popolo di Dio. Ne
va di mezzo la vita e la vita del mondo.
Sembra che annunciare l’invito con un nuovo
ardore, con nuovi metodi, con una nuova
espressione non sia un mezzo superato. Alcuni tra
coloro che trasmettono questo invito alle nozze
saranno forse maltrattati, forse uccisi. Ci saranno
certamente quelli che rifiutano l’invito. Poco
importa. C’è gente agli angoli delle strade. Basta
annunciare con convinzione che noi andiamo a un
banchetto, che l’invito di Cristo è arrivato fino a
noi e che noi conosciamo le portate. Basta sapere
che noi possiamo tutto in colui che ci conforta.
L’annunciamo così? Siamo convincenti perché
abbiamo già partecipato a questo banchetto? Non
c’è niente di più ripugnante di coloro le cui parole
ripetono quello che dicono gli altri, senza dare
prova di alcuna esperienza.
RINGRAZIAMENTO!
In questa Giornata del
Ringraziamento auguriamo
a tutti tanta gioia e
tanta pace.
Ringraziamo il
Signore per tutti i dono
recevuti. Auguri a
tutti!
