Praying the rosary together in front of the Blessed Sacrament gives many graces and is so peaceful. PERPETUAL EUCHARISTIC ADORATION Christ's followers were skeptical when He preached the reality of His Body and Blood as food and drink. St. John said, "many of His disciples withdrew and no longer went about with Him." Seeing this, Jesus asked the Twelve, "Do you also want to leave me?" Simon Peter did not understand any more than those who left Christ, but his loyalty was more firm. "Lord," he said, "to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life." We have the "Word of Eternal Life" right here with us day and night in our Adoration Chapel. Do you have something you want to ask Him? There are several hours needing adorers. Please pick one for your personal hour with Him.

So many parishioners and school families attended our Gala fundraiser this year, and many more members of our community supported us through donations of items or funds. Thank you to our Gala Chairs, Mike and Heather Tarjan for organizing such a great event. The countless hours they put in, along with many volunteers who worked diligently to ensure the success of Gala is greatly appreciated. We also want to take this opportunity to congratulate Jan and Larry Skaja for receiving the Sheila Harrington Award. Jan and Larry both support the school in many ways. Thank you to them for all they do in the school and parish community. Families sacrifice a great deal to send their children to St. John Brebeuf, so they can have an excellent, faith based education. Beyond that initial sacrifice, many families also participate in the fundraiser through volunteering or supporting us financially, going above and beyond their commitment to the school. Our school would not be able to continue to be on the cutting edge of Catholic education Page 9 without the support of the Gala fundraiser. Thank you to everyone who supports our school in so many ways. St. John Brebeuf School is blessed to have a great support network of families. Thank you to everyone who has continued to support us through prayer, time, talent, and sacrifice. Gratefully in Christ, Elise Matson, Principal The Changing of the Hymnals Our yearly hymnals will be changed on Monday, November 23 immediately after the 8:30 am Mass. Volunteers are needed to place the new hymnals into the plastic sleeves and distribute them throughout the church. If you have an hour to spare on Monday morning, please join us! Thank you. Marek Rachelski and SJB Music Ministry FEAST OF THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION The Catholic Women's Club and the St. Queen Jadwiga Society will be celebrating the feast of the Immaculate Conception on 12/6 at 9:00 a.m. Mass. We invite all women of the parish along with their families to join us at Mass on this special day. A continental breakfast will follow in Flanagan Hall. Page 10 Our Lord, Jesus Christ, King of the Universe Chocolate Advent Calendars $4 Cub Scout Pack 175 will be selling Chocolate Advent Calendars after mass during the month of November. This is the Cub Scouts only fundraiser; your support is greatly appreciated. No matter how many arrows are thrown at you, how much criticism you receive, or how many so-called friends you lose because you're defending life, it's all worth it. Continue to fight the culture of death. Let us continue to pray daily: “Jesus, Mary and Joseph, I love you very much. I beg you to spare the life of the unborn baby that I have spiritually adopted who is in danger of abortion.” November 22, 2015 November 22—Christ the King: Today as we celebrate Christ the King, we hear Jesus say: “…whatever you did for one of the least brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” Knowing that we find the face of Christ in the poor, last month, through your gifts, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul was able to provide $100.00 for Food, $600.00 for Rent Assistance, $1,441.00 for Utilities, $3,100.00 in Gift Cards, $1,450.00 - Twinning with other needy parishes, and $101.00 in Misc.
