November 1, Holy Day
This week, Wednesday, November 1, is the Feast of All
Saints. It is also a day of obligation, which means that all
Catholics should attend Mass. The Mass Schedule for the day
is:
·
6:30 am
·
9:00 am Grade School, Academy and High School
·
12:00 noon

November 2, All Souls Day
On Thursday evening, November 2, there will be a special
Memorial Mass for those buried from our parish over the past
year. Everyone is welcome to attend and to pray for family
members and friends who have been called from this life. It is
a traditional time to visit the graves of our loved ones. Last
year I had the opportunity to be in rural Mexico at this time to
celebrate the “Day of the Dead.” I was particularly touched
by entire families sitting around the graves of their ancestors.
They spent time talking about great grandpa or Aunt Maria.
They laughed at the antics of Uncle Jose and the crazy things
he used to do. They prayed the rosary and sang hymns. I
sometimes think we would be better for doing the same. Try
to make some time to pray and remember with your family
during November.
During the month of November, the book for
remembering the deceased will be in church. If in past years
you have already put a persons name in the book, there is no
need to do it again. We remember all who have died in our
prayers throughout the month.
buildings are scheduled to be poured the end of this week
and into the next.
One of the aspects of the project that is very time
consuming is the attention to detail. This is of critical
importance to make sure that the integrity and the design of
the church is respected. At the same time, modern building
codes and standards have to respected. I am learning more
about two hour fire barriers and required openings for
accesability than I ever wanted to know.
An example would be where the new building meets the
church. Windows had to be removed because they do not
meet the fire code. They will be refinished and used in the
new building near the church, thus tying the new to the old.
The slate stones that would have been covered have been
removed and will go into the wall that is attached to the
church itself. The keystone over the door has a relief of Saint
Thomas. It has been removed and will be placed over the
new 12 Mile Road entrance between the church and the
adoration chapel. The end result will compliment the church
and provide a barrier free entrance.
When will they make an end of it? The building
documents say May 30.
Rosie, Russia and Carlito
As I related at one of the Masses last weekend, there is a
hawk in the neighborhood. I have seen it swoop down and
fly off with little bunnies that live around the church in the
gardens. He has also done a very good job of keeping the
pigeons away. What I find amazing is that Carlito, who was
born in captivity and has never been in the wild, goes
absolutely berserk whenever he sees the hawk circling over
the rectory where he can see him. Hawks are one of the
natural enemies of cockatoos. But how did he learn that?
Power Changeover
If you are reading this, and the lights were on in church,
then you know that we made it through the power
changeover. Details to come later.
Storm and catch basins along with some other
underground work begin this week. Foundations for the
Thank You Priests
Today is Priesthood Sunday. It gives the National Shrine
faith community the opportunity to show our appreciation
to our hard-working priests. The National Shrine of The Little
Flower Parish Council sends out a big THANK YOU to
Monsignor Easton, Fr. Heppen, Fr. Maka and Fr. Smalarz. You
serve our community well, teaching us and ministering us
through divine worship. We encourage all parishoners to take
time this week to say a word of thanks to these dedicated
men as they serve us in Christ’s name. May our good and
gracious Lord continue to bless you.

Fr. Edward Farrell to be
Honored at St. Ambrose
At the sole discretion of the publisher/pastor,
letters concerning matters already printed in the
bulletin may at times be reprinted.
Fr. Edward Farrell was ordained a priest in
Rome in December of 1956. Unfortunately, he
died this past May, before he had an opportunity
to celebrate the 50 th anniversary of his
priesthood.
To honor Fr. Farrell’s half-century of
dedicated service to the Church, the people of
St. Ambrose Parish (15020 Hampton, Grosse
Pointe Park) will host an anniversary party “in
absentia” for him on Sunday, November 5. Bishop
Francis Reiss will celebrate Mass at 11:15 am and
a reception will follow. For more information, call
313.822.2814.
To the Bulletin Editor
2006 Scholastic Book Fair
The Shrine Catholic Grade School Mothers’
Club will be holding the annual Scholastic Book
Fair, Sunday, November 5-Thursday, November
9 in the Shrine Catholic Grade School gym.
The Book Fair will be open after the 7:30 am,
9:00 am and 10:45 am Sunday Masses, and
throughout the week during school hours. The
Fair will also be open on Wednesday and
Thursday during evening parent-teacher
conferences.
There will be selections for all ages, including
holiday and religious items. Please stop by and
support the grade school and its Mothers’ Club.
Entertainment Books
Entertainment Books are here! They will be
sold in the main office of the high school until
mid December for $20. Profits will benefit the
high school library and the Ski Club.
Promote Social Justice
The Catholic social teaching principle “Call
to Family, Commu-nity, and Participation”
teaches that the manner in which we organize
our society affects the human dignity of all.
Proposal 2, which will appear on the November
7 general election ballot, is a step backward in
the struggle to overcome discrimination and its
continuing effects. This proposal is bad public
policy for the state and represents an indifference
to the difficulties women and minorities face on
a daily basis. By working together and opposing
Proposal 2, we will help our brothers and sisters
promote the common good and well being of
everyone. Vote NO on Proposal 2.
I am writing to respond to a paragraph that
appeared in the October 8, 2006 bulletin. While
I am against abortion, the approach that the
abortion/breast cancer campaign takes is
scientifically inaccurate and also a scare tactic
that does not address the real reasons women
seek abortion. I am in support of anti-abortion
efforts that educate women with real data and
provide them with support to carry their babies
to term, such as the Shrine Ladies Guild CCW
Baby Shower. The paragraph stated that most
studies as of 2004 showed a significant link
between breast cancer and abortion. As a college
professor, I am naturally curious when I see
science cited outside academe so I checked
original sources in the research literature and the
evidence was not as clear cut as described in the
paragraph. I then conducted a search of the
research literature and I found that five empirical
studies have investigated the link between
abortion and breast cancer since 2004. Four of
the studies found no link between abortion and
later breast cancer. One study found a link but it
showed that there was a decreased risk of breast
cancer among women who had at least two
abortions and also a breast cancer gene
mutation. Also, studies seem to show that the
risk of breast cancer is similar in women who
never got pregnant versus women who
miscarried or had an abortion. While it is
theoretically possible that disruptions in
pregnancy hormones due to abortion might lead
to changes in breast tissue that could increase
risk of cancer, the evidence does not support the
conclusion that abortion causes breast cancer.
Church teaching against abortion should be
enough to stand on its own. It should not have
to be buttressed with science; and in any event,
the most recent scientific evidence cannot be
used to establish an association between
abortion and breast cancer.

bridges and roads high in the Andes Mountains, and imagined
the horror of human sacrifice to the Aztec sun god.
In science we are exploring the world of atoms and
elements. Students will select an element from the Periodic
Table, research its properties and uses, and build a model of an
atom.
In math we are adding and subtracting decimals and
learning how estimation skills help with mental math. Our
new math program introduces the students to algebra, and
they love it!

Grade School
Fifth Grade
Our fifth grade year is off to a great start. It’s hard to believe
that we are at the end of the first marking period.
In religion we have completed the study of Creation, types
of prayer and a study of the rosary. The remainder of the year
we will be studying the sacraments. Along with this, we are
learning how to use the Bible. The students are becoming
very comfortable with it as they look up passages in the Bible
and find all of the stories they learned when they were
younger. By the beginning of Advent we should have a nice
overview of the Old Testament.
We have just completed our first major unit in reading
called the “Danger Zone.” It was a unit full of many forms of
suspense. Now we are using our imaginations to go back to
the time of Chivalry when the Knights and Crusades were a
reality. At this point we are gaining individual knowledge of
the time period by playing “Medieval Switch.” Each desk has
information concerning some aspect of the Middle Ages.
Students must take turns traveling from desk to desk to find
answers to the questionnaire they are traveling with. By the
end of this unit we should be better equipped to find “main
ideas and details” in our reading selections as well as other
subjects.
Students have been industriously studying ancient people
of the Americas. We discovered Beringia, the ice bridge that
brought hunter-gatherers to the Americas. The Smartboard
has brought us photos of Tenochtitlan, Machu Pichu, Mesa
Verde and Great Serpent Mound, as well as Mayan and Aztec

hopes to teach students important entities needed to succeed
in life, such as goal setting, time management skills, volunteer
work and group projects. Mr. Mio said, “My goal for the
leadership class is to help students learn how to accomplish
goals that they set for themselves.”

Growing in Faith as a Family . . . Elementary...
30th Sunday in OT: The Call
Jer 31:7-9, Heb 5:1-6, & Mk 10:4652
The readings this week have the central
theme of hearing “the call.” In Jeremiah’s
reading God will gather the blind and the lame
from the ends of the world—all those who are
considered outcasts of society—and lead them
to the healing waters of salvation. St. Paul in his
letter to the Hebrews extols the virtues of those
who have answered the call to serve in the
priesthood following in the footsteps of Christ.
The Apostle notes that the high priest is able to
minister to the ignorant and erring because he,
himself, is weak and must rely on God for
strength. This humility is in imitation of Christ, who offered Himself in total
submission to the Father’s Will.
Mark’s Gospel tells the story of Bartimaeus, a man who was blind from
birth that hears the voice of Jesus calling out to the Son of David—a messianic
title for the Savior. The Gospel writer notes the crowd around the blind man
rebukes him for crying out, yet their taunts did not quiet the man. Jesus, seeing
the faith of the impaired man, asks the disciples to call Bartimaeus. “Take
courage, get up, Jesus is calling you,” the disciples say to the outcast. Upon
hearing the invitation, Bartimaeus responds by asking the Lord to have his
sight restored. Jesus notes that the blind man’s faith has saved him.
When Jesus heals physical impediments, He re-creates the person, making
them new. This power belongs to God alone, which makes Bartimaeus’ cry of
recognition all the more significant—he did not need eyes to see, but responds
to the mere voice of the Lord. The verb “call” is used over and over again,
whether referring to the blind man’s call to Jesus, the Lord’s call to His disciples,
or to Jesus’ call to Bartimaeus.
Jesus meets Bartimaeus on the road to Jerusalem to celebrate His final
Passover with the Apostles. In this encounter, Jesus is recognized by the outcast
as the One who will gather the suffering and make them whole. In the
encounter with Bartimaeus the Lord empowers His disciples to draw together
those who are to be saved, foreshadowing the command prior to the Savior’s
Ascension into Heaven when Jesus assembles His disciples and sends them
forth to the four corners of the world to spread the Gospel message and baptize
all in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, fulfilling the words of the
Prophet Jeremiah.
Like the disciples we are all called by God—it is our choice to hear His
voice and respond. At times we may be blinded by sin like Bartimaeus or held
back by earthly desires such as the rich young man. While Bartimaeus
recognizes the Lord in His midst, the rich young man has an encounter with
the Lord and chooses to turn away. Through the gift of free-will, the same
choice is ours to make.
People will say the Church is dying—there is no need for organized religion.
“Me-theology” and spiritualities that feed man’s desire to be the center of his
world are flourishing. God’s voice is being drowned out by a constant barrage
of temptations that pull us away from a life of holiness and virtue, yet He calls
nonetheless. Will we let His voice go unheard or will we have the courage to
respond? Will we open our hearts to the service of the Church as priests,
religious, or lay ministers and encourage others in their discernment? The path
to eternal salvation comes through answering the call to be a disciple—in setting
aside our own will to conform our lives to Christ. The world is in desperate
need of the love and mercy of God and we are His hands and feet in the world
today. It is up to us—will we be like Bartimaeus or the rich young man? Our

Did You Know?
Our Catholic Traditions…All
Hallow’s Eve
Traditionally celebrated as a day of trick-ortreating, costumes and pumpkin carving, Halloween
derives its name from All Hallow’s Eve, the vigil of
Hallowmas or All Saint’s Day. On November 1 the
Church celebrates saints known and unknown—
those who have entered their heavenly home—
remembered for their holiness and virtue on this holy
day of obligation. All Saint’s Day has its roots in the
fourth century, where faithful gathered to remember
the lives of the martyrs, praying together and sharing
relics from those who gave their life for the faith. Pope
Gregory IV officially marked November 1 as a Holy
Day in the 9th century. November 2 celebrates the
Feast of All Souls, remembering all who have died
marked with the sign of faith. (If you have a question
concerning our Catholic Traditions, write to
[email protected] and we will attempt to answer
it in upcoming Did You Know? articles.)

Each CD is only $3 and is a great way to catch up
on adult formation topics while driving, exercising,
or in the office. Available CDs are listed below.

Jail Holiday Project
Greetings form the Oakland County Jail
Chaplains Office. As the weather slowly changes,
and we experience a few chilly days, we are
reminded that the holidays will soon be here
Through the Chaplain’s Office, we sponsor
a Christmas Holiday Project. Our mission is to give
every inmate a gift bag which contains an
assortment of meaningful items. These items are
collected from different Churches throughout
Oakland County.
The gift items needed are: (2,100 each) soft
covered Bibles, candy canes, bookmarks, prayer
cards, playing cards, combs, bar soap, shampoo,
pads of paper and white socks; (6,300 each)
stamped Christmas cards for the residents to send
home to their children and families; (300) board
games.
The Holiday Project at the jail is an
opportunity to say to many that are un-churched
and without hope that there is a God of hope
and it is never too late to turn your life around.
Each year National Shrine parishioners have
helped by contributing 1,000 pairs of white
athletic socks. Please help us again this year.
Boxes will be available at the church entrances
for your donation starting the first Sunday in
November
Thank You, The Jail Ministry

Southeast Oakland
Meals On Wheels Program
Southeast Oakland Meals on Wheels Program is currently
in need of many, many more drivers. Feeding the homebound
is a much needed act of charity, and we are looking for those
willing to share their gifts of time and talent that the Lord has
so generously provided us all. As a driver, you may select any
weekday you choose to help out. For example, if you choose
Friday, you would show up at the Royal Oak Senior
Community Center (near 13 Mile and Crooks) between 10:
45 am-11:15 am on Fridays only. Then, you would be given
your route (you visit the same people every week) and meals
to deliver. The route is very simple, within our own local Royal
Oak area, maps are provided, and homes tend to be in roughly
the same subdivision. Depending on your driving abilities, this
takes anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour. To learn more
about or volunteering for this much needed ministry, please
contact Randy Husaynu at 248.321.8487 or email at
[email protected].
Lending Library
All Saints Day and All Souls Day are coming up this week,
so it is a good time to think about those who have gone before
us, and about the “Four Last Things” (death, judgment, heaven
and hell) that await each one of us. One of the more frequently
borrowed books contains two selections: Hell and How To
Avoid Hell. There are also several books on purgatory:
Purgatory Explained by the Lives and Legends of the Saints
and An Unpublished Manuscript on Purgatory: Alleged
Conversations Between a Nun and a Soul in Purgatory. The
second is in its 18th printing, and has a Nihil Obstat. There
are also three shelves of books about individual saints, or
collections of saints. They have some amazing stories. Lending
Library hours are Sundays, 10 am-2 pm and Fridays, 9:15 amnoon, in the Conference Center, Room C (across the alley from
the Northwood parking lot). For information call Kathy
McGuire at 248.541.6834 or JoAn Gilleran at 248.629.4045.
National Shrine Area Girl Scouts
Kudos to Mr. and Mrs. Al Liggett and Mrs. Grace Ross for
volunteering their time and services at the National Shrine of
the Little Flower Girl Scout 70th Anniversary celebration. Also
to Mrs. Chris Baumhardt, leader, and Mrs. Cheryl Kerivan,
assistant leader of Cadette Troop # 1391, for adding displays
of their troop activities. Mrs. Marilyn Buckley, Mrs. Judy Dean
and Miss Lauren Nielsen, from Cadette and Senior Troop
#3068 assisted with the program.
Mrs. Judy (Pinneo) Wernette, former member of Troop
#3068, assisted in contacting former scout families through
the Shrine Knight Alumni Association. It was great to visit with
former scout friends and families, and catch up with what
has happened in their lives through the years. I took over the
leadeship of Girl Scout Troop #3068 in 1969 and was thrilled
to hear that so many of my former scouts have become Girl
Scout leaders through the years.

Red Ribbon Week
This past week, the Shrine Catholic High School SADD Chapter (Students Against
Destructive Decisions) sponsored Red Ribbon Week. National Red Ribbon week began back
in 1988 and serves as a tribute to DEA Special Agent Camarena. Agent Camarena was
kidnapped, brutally tortured and murdered by drug traffickers in Mexico in the mid-80s. Over
time, this tragic event has helped to generate a sense of hope. A hope that young Americans
across the country continue to say “yes” to a drug-free life.
At Shrine Catholic, the week was dedicated to informing students via posters and
presentations on the dangers of drugs and alcohol. Thank you to the members of SADD who

Whatsoever you DID to help—THANK YOU!
Shrine Ladies Guild Outing
You did a great ministry of providing hospitality for South Oakland
Shelter families from October 15-22. This year’s homeless guests were
several Moms with infants and children and fewer men. Hospitality took
the concerted efforts of scores of parishioners. And, we are blessed to be
able to use the facilities and the generous help of the Berkley Community
Church members. What a great ecumenical spirit!
If you provided hauling and set-up, bed making, laundry care, food
and meals, transportation, overnight watch, and a safe, clean environment
for people in need, THANK YOU! Special thanks to those who did the
extra work of coordinating all these services. It takes weeks of preparation.
We had High School students, working Moms and Dads, Shrine Singles
and Senior Members of our church all working together. What a beautiful
witness of gospel love! Now, get some rest before we begin all of these
same services for the Winter Warming Center during our two weeks in
March.
We need some folks with organizational ability to help coordinate
our homeless ministries, so while you rest we are praying. You may have
an angel of God come to you in a dream and ask something that seems
impossible, if it were not a godly invitation. If this happens, talk it over with
someone currently involved, one of our priests or Sister Noreen.
The Shrine Ladies Guild is selling tickets for
Irving Berlin’s “White Christmas” at the Fox
Theatre for the Sunday, December 3, 2006, 1 pm
performance. Tickets are $30 each, which
includes transportation. We will meet at the
Woodward side grade school parking lot at noon
for departure. For reservations or further
information, please call Carol Hoolehan,
248.544.8991.
Shrine Ladies Guild Enrichment
On the feast of All Souls, we will have a Candlelight Mass of
Remembrance, Thursday, November 2 at 7:30 pm. We will pray for and
honor the more than 80 parishioners who have died since last November’s
feast. Please join the loved ones of those whose funerals have been
celebrated here at Shrine as we pray together for all of our loved ones
who have preceded us in death.
The Shrine Ladies Guild is hosting an
Enrichment Social after the 8:30 am Mass on
Friday, November 3, in the Conference Center.
Refreshments will be provided and you can learn
about the Lending Library, which is located in
the Conference Center. The founders of the
library, Kathy McGuire and JoAn Gilleran, will be
on hand to provide information about the library.
The Shrine Ladies Guild is proud to be a
supporter of the library and we’d like you to see
what’s available and to have a pleasant Friday
morning with us and other parish members. If
you are unable to attend Mass, come in after 9
am. We will all be there to welcome you.
Mark your calendar for the Bake Sale,
scheduled for November 11-12 in the Conference
Center. As always we appreciate your support.
Thanks for Bundles of Joy
Catholics in the Public Square
To everyone who contributed new-born layette outfits, diapers and
money for the CCW/Ladies Guild Baby Shower, thank you!
We had lovely gifts donated, and these will be lifesavers for Moms-inNeed through the programs we support in our diocese.
“W
“We encourage all citizens , particularly
Catholics, to embrace their citizenship not merely
as a duty and privilege, but as an opportunity
meaningfully to participate in building the culture
of life. Every voice matters in the public forum.
Every vote counts. Every act of responsible
citizenship is an exercise of significant individual
power. We must exercise that power in ways that
defend human life, especially those of God’s
children who are unborn, disabled or otherwise
vulnerable” (US Bishops, Living the Gospel of Life,
1998, n. 34). Embrace your citizenship and
make sure to vote on November 7.
Special Mass of Remembrance—November 2
Life Matters
Some items for reflection during Respect for Life Month and while
preparing for the upcoming elections:
Living the Gospel of Life declares, “Indeed, the failure to protect and
defend life in its most vulnerable stages renders suspect any claims to the
‘rightness’ of positions in other matters affecting the poorest and least
powerful of the human community. If we understand the human person
as the “temple of the Holy Spirit” — the living house of God — then these
latter issues fall logically into place as the crossbeams and walls of that
house. All direct attacks on innocent human life, such as abortion and
euthanasia, strike at the house’s foundation. These directly and immediately
violate the human person’s most fundamental right the right to life. Neglect
of these issues is the equivalent of building our house on sand” (23).

The National Shrine/Shrine Catholic Schools winners of the Knights of
Columbus Soccer Challenge: Evan Copus and Danielle Flagg.
We recently completed our
Soccer Challenge competition
for this year. For the first time
Shrine Parish had two State
Champions. The competitors
competed first on a local level at
the National Shrine. They then competed against
all winners from the Archdiocese of Detroit.
Finally these winners competed against winners
from each archdiocese in the state of Michigan.
This year the state competition was held in
Gladwin. We applaud this years state winners
from Shrine Catholic. Both of our winners this
year are eligible to compete again next year.
Danielle Flagg, age 12
Evan Copus, age 13
At a Major Degree ceremony in Center Line
last weekend two brother knights from the
National Shrine Council completed the 2nd and
3rd degree of the order. We applaud the
following brother knights for their efforts.
Daniel Magoon
Frederick Ashbaugh
On Sunday November 12, 2006 we will have
a Memorial Mass at Sacred Heart Seminary. Mass
is at 10:00 am. After Mass we will have a breakfast
with the seminarians who are studying for the
priesthood. All brother knights and their families
are invited to attend.
On Saturday November 11, 2006 we will
have our 2nd Annual Pasta Dinner in the grade
school gym. Several different types of pasta will
be available. The proceeds from this dinner will
go to support the various charities that the
Knights of Columbus support. This event is open
to all members of the parish and their families.

A Family Perspective
The Parish Council received a special blessing at last Sunday’s 9:00 am
Mass. (Photo courtesy of Rita Tinetti.)
“Self help” books flood bookstores, as we
search for great relationships in marriage and
advice for parenting. Jesus gives us the key in
today’s Gospel; “If you want greatness, serve the
needs of others.” It’s that simple.
Bud Ozar
Try It On
“Rabboni,” the blind man said, “I want to see.”
Do you see by faith? Do you see, not just the
bad things in life, but the good things, the hope,
the works of the Lord? Do you see yourself as a
priest or religious? The letter to the Hebrews tells
us that we are called from among the
community. Do others see you as a priest or
religious? For information, call the Vocation
Office at 313.237.5875.

Meditations
The Luminous Mysteries
I. Christ’s Baptism in the Jordan
The Lord submits himself to baptism to invite us to share in the relationship to which the Father attests from the heavens:
“You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.” When we get lost, the Baptism of the Lord enables us always to return
to our God and remember how much our Savior desired to identify himself with our sin in order to rescue us from it.
2. Christ’s Self-Manifestation at the Wedding of Cana
We often feel like the host of the wedding feast of Cana who runs out of wine: panicked and powerless…we need
something that goes beyond our feeble resources. The thirst created at Cana symbolizes our spiritual thirst for God. Through
the water-turned-wine, we come to know that God-is-with-us. Christ’s presence transforms every dimension of creation, no
matter how menial, meager, or mundane. On the cross Jesus will thirst for our union with him in holiness.
3. Christ’s Proclamation of the Kingdom of God
At Cana, the Mother of God instructs us: “Do whatever he tells you.” The preaching of Jesus fills us with the conviction to
follow him in faith like sheep who find the voice of the shepherd irresistible.. The preaching of Jesus promises that we can
personally share in Christ’s own life. The Lord’s preaching leads us to a deeper discovery, to an awareness of what we truly
desire…His Person…His Presence…the Kingdom of God.
4. The Transfiguration
The Transfiguration of Jesus reveals the possibility of our own configuration to Christ. In Tabor’s glorious vision we
behold our own destiny. Thanks to the utterly “different” Christ, we come to believe in a difference for ourselves we never
would have imagined. The beauty of Jesus’ humanity in the Transfiguration reaffirms our desire for sanctity. Silently from
Tabor’s splendor, the Savior beckons: “Become what you behold!”
5. Christ’s Institution of the Eucharist
The Eucharist is the source and summit of the Christian life. Jesus takes into his hands a puny, paltry, pitiful piece of bread
and makes it his body to assure us that he can do the same with our nothingness. The Real Presence of Jesus in the Blessed
Sacrament reminds us of the miracle of the Transfiguration and how much Jesus longs for us to behold him, to belong to him
and to become like him.

professor of homiletics at St. Joseph’s Seminary-Dunwoodie in Yonkers, N.Y.)
