When he reached the place, Jesus
looked up and said, "Zacchaeus,
come down quickly, for today I
must stay at your house." And he
came down quickly and received
him with joy. When they all saw this, they began to grum­
ble, saying, "He has gone to stay at the house of a sinner."

RESTAURANT FUNDRAISERS
As many of you have seen there have been quite a few "Restaurant
Fundraisers" held over the past few months. Ordinarily these fund­
raisers are reserved for the needs of our parish ministries; however
this summer and fall the Knights of Columbus have booked sever­
al to benefit the Parking Lot Fund. Some parishioners have men­
tioned that they were unable to attend as these nights often conflict
with PTO, business meetings, after school sports games etc. We
remind those unable to attend these events to consider donating
instead to the Parking Lot Fund. We appreciated every contribu­
tion since it all adds up to give us a beautiful and well lighted
parking facility where om parishioners may come and go safely!
Thank you all for supporting these fund raising events.
CATHOLIC APPEAL 2016
OUf latest update on our parishes' contributions to the Catholic
Appeal is $22,464.71. ';Ne fall short of our assessment goal of
$22,894.l6 by just $429.45. With five outstanding pledges total­
ing $1,200.00, we could reach om goal with the fulfillment of the
unpaid pledges. If you have yet to complete your pledge, we ask
that you do so as soon as possible. Any rebates we might receive
by reaching and exceeding our goal will be applied to the Parking
Lot Fund.

STEWARDSHIP: SHARING TIME, TALENT AND
TREASURE
"The community of believers was ofone heart and mind and no
one claimed that any ofhis possessions was his own." - Acts 4:32
All that we are and all that we have is a gift from God! Think of
your family, your friends, your talents and abilities - these are al1
gifts from God. We aren't really owners of anything;
we are merely "stewards"
of the gifts God has blessed us with.
STEWARDSHIP AND THE SUNDAY GOSPEL
In the Gospel Reading from St. Luke we hear the story of the tax
collector Zacchaeus and his desire to see and perhaps meet Jesus .
The image of Zacchaeus up in that sycamore tree is one that many
of us may recall from our childhood, and hearing it - because it
is a vivid impression, and one that even as we get older may ­
may trigger a memory. The name Zacchaeus means "pure one,"
but he certainly was not pure. We leam from his own confession
how he has overcharged and cheated people in his tax collection
duties. However, for all his faults and shortcomings Zacchaeus
seeks purity, and he understands that Jesus is a way to achieve
that. It is interesting to note that Zacchaeus climbs a tree to see
Jesus better. That sounds like something a child might do, and that
fulfills in a small wayan instruction Jesus gives to each of us,
"Amen, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children,
you will not enter the kingdom of heaven." Jesus follows that re­
mark my immediately reminding us that we must become humble
like children. That is a cue for us to recall importance of humility
when it comes to being a good steward, but thanks to the lesson of
Zacchaeus we learn even more about how to seek stewardship.
Like the tax collector we need to make an effort to seek Jesus; like
him we must be humble; we must welcome Jesus into our homes
and into our hearts; and finally we need to receive himjoyfulJy.
MASS BOOK AND MEMORIALS 2017
The Mass Book for 2017 is now open and there are several avail­
able times and dates. Those wishing to reserve a date may visit
dW'ing regular office hours (9AM-3PM, Mon-Thurs) or call the
parish office at 781-899-0469 .
PARKING LOT FUND UPDATE
We are currently at 72% of our goal having raised
$180,015.10. This amount includes both envelope and pledge
donations as well as online giving. While we are grateful to be
where we are, we still have a way to go. Consider the fact that of
the 1,300 registered households in our parish only 375 households
have contributed to the fund . If the remaining 925 households
each contributed $100 we would be well over our goal! Any con­
tribution, whether great or small wilJ be deeply appreciated and
will help us bring this project to completion. Donation envelopes
are available at all entrances of the church and may be retumed
via the offertory (basket) . You may also donate through WeShare
our online giving program. All donations will be recorded for tax
purposes and receipts will be provided to donors upon request.
We thank these outstanding contractors for their support; Premier
Contracting, Wheaton Electric, , Porter Plumbing and Lazaro Pav­
ing Company. Questions may be directed to any member of the
Parking Lot Committee; Ken Lopez, Nick and Judy Pulsone,
Patricia Vasquezi, Richie Cincotta, David Carvelli and Ray
Redlinger.

CHRISTMAS GIFT AND CRAFT FAIR
INMEMORY
Last week we lost a kind and caring member of our parish commu­
nity. Donna (Champagne) Casey was an active member of our
parish family . She and her husband Jim coordinated the ~ffertory
Procession at the 7:30AM Mass where they were always In attend­
ance and looked forward to visiting with their fellow Mass at­
tendees before and after Mass. Donna was an incredibly talented
photographer, web designer, painter,. cr~fter, graphic art!st, and
published author! She was blessed with msurmountable gifts and
viewed each of them as a true blessing from God. Donna selfless­
ly shared her talents with those around her. Many of them at one
time or another received a special photo Donna had taken or a
craft item she had made as a way to share her kindness and her
talent with her friends and loved ones. She was always willing to
return her gifts of time and talent to the Lord. We were benefac­
tors of her stewardship through her role as our parish 's web m~s­
ter. Through this ministry she kept us abreast of the latest parish
activities and events, posted the weekly bulletin, photograph's of
parish events, and occasionally she would work humor into our
web site by "photo shopping" our friars with special effects (fun
hats, costumes and scenery) to the delight of many! We will miss
her friendship, sense of humor and the joy for life that she demon­
strated each day. For those of us who worshipped alongside her at
Sunday morning Mass, there will certainly be a void that will nev­
er be filled, but we will honor her by keeping Donna's memory in
our hearts and in our prayers.
POPE FRANCIS-AMORIS LAETITIA
This week we continue to explore the Synodal Apostolic Exhorta­
tion Amoris Laetitia 'The Joy of Love' with focus' on the sacra­
ment of maITiage #63 ''''Jesus, who reconciled all things in him­
self, restored marriage and the family to their original form (cf.
Mt 10:1-12). MaITiage and the family have been redeemed by
Christ (cf. Eph 5:21-32) and restored in the image of the Holy
Trinity, the mystery from whlch all true love flo~s. Th~ spousal
covenant, originating in creation and revealed m the hlstory of
salvation takes on its full meaning in Christ and his Church.
Through 'his Church, Christ bestows on maITiage and the family
the grace necessary to bear witness to the love .of God and to .live
the life of communion. The Gospel of the famIly spans the histo­
ry of the world, from the creation of man and woman in the image
and likeness of God (cf. Gen 1:26-27), to the fulfilment of the
mystery of the covenant in Christ at the end of time with the mar­
riage of the Lamb (cf. Rev 19:9)".
It's that time of year when we look forward to our Christmas Gift
and Craft Fair here at Sacred Heart! Mark your calendar for Satur­
day, November 5 th from 9:00AM-4:00PM and ~unday, Novem­
ber 6th from 9:00AM-12 Noon. If you are lookmg to volunteer

unteers for set up on Thursday and Friday evening and break down

table and to help keep coffee brewing for visitors and volunteers.

Dedicate an Arborvitae Tree - $100 per tree
Thirty-Five Arborvitae have been planted along the back of the parking lot. They will mature to a height of 12-14 feet,
creating an esthetically pleasing border which will enhance the look of the church property while providing both the
parish and neighboring residents more privacy. Each dedicated tree will have its own ground-staked marker bearing the
name of your loved one.
Dedicate a Walkway Light - $100 per light
Our new walkway lamps light the path for all who come to worship while adding beauty to our grounds during the
evening hours and providing us a well-lighted route to travel and from worship. Each of the ten light-posts will bear a
metal marker with the name of your loved one.
Dedicate a Parking lot Light with Security Camera - $500 per light
The new parking lot lights provide generous lighting and added security for those coming to evening worship or parish
activities. Two lights are still available for dedication to a loved one or family. Each light will be affixed with a marker
bearing the name of your loved one.
NOTE: Upon Completion of the Parking Lot and Grounds and additions of the Memorial Markers we will hold a special
blessing following a weekend Mass with the date to be well publicized prior to the blessing and dedications.
Those wishing to dedicate a memorial are asked to detach and return the form below along with your offering. Please
print legibly as this will be used for engraving purposes. Memoria ls are currently limited to these specific items and will
be granted on a first come first served basis.
