A Note from Fr. Joe…. - St. Thomas of Villanova Parish

THE COMMEMORATION OF ALL THE FAITHFUL DEPARTED
NOVEMBER 2, 2014
A Note from Fr. Joe….
The month of November is a special time to engage in remembrance and gratitude. This
weekend we begin with All Saints’ Day (Saturday, November 1st) and All Souls’ Day (Sunday, November
2nd.) And, of course, we conclude with the Thanksgiving weekend (November 27th – 30th.) In between,
however, there are some other dates of note. In the Augustinian calendar, we commemorate all the
deceased members of our Order/Family on Thursday, November 6th and All Saints of Our Order on
Friday, November 14th. In our nation’s calendar, we mark Veterans’ Day on Tuesday, November 11th.
I’d encourage you, if your schedule allows, to join us at Mass on any of these important days – and,
certainly, to take some time along the way to remember and to give thanks. As I’ve mentioned before,
the two seem naturally to go hand-in-hand.
This year we have the benefit of All Souls’ Day following on a Sunday, so that more of us have the
opportunity to participate in the Eucharist and to hear the special prayers and readings of the day. In fact,
there are any number of Gospels from which we presiders can choose, but the core message is the same
– death is not the end because of Jesus the Christ. As he himself proclaims, “For this is the will of my
Father, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him may have eternal life, and I shall raise him
up on the last day.” Because of Christ not even death can break the bonds that we forge in this life. As
one of the prayers in the Vigil for the Deceased says so beautifully, “we believe that all the ties of
friendship and affection which knit us as one throughout our lives do not unravel with death.” As a people
of faith, we unite in prayer, turning to our God, as we comfort and support one another on the journey.
We give thanks, as well, for all those who have gone before us, particularly the faithful departed being
remembered in our Annual Mass of Remembrance at 9:00am this Sunday.
If you’ve lost a loved one, buried from St. Thomas of Villanova or not, please consider coming to
our quarterly Bereavement Evening of Prayer and Reflection this Thursday, November 6th at 7:00pm in
the Parish Center. The focus will be on coping with the upcoming holidays. These evenings give us a
safe place to remember, to pray, and to be reminded that we’re not alone in our grieving. In addition, our
Men’s Gathering this month, on Thursday the 20th, will consist of a Mass of Remembrance, especially
honoring our brother Dan Schultz. We look forward to welcoming his wife Susan, who will share some of
their story in the Auditorium, following the 6:30am liturgy. So guys, please mark your calendars – and
bring a friend!
God Bless!

Stewardship Thought for the Week
“Those who trust in him will understand truth, and the faithful will
abide with him in love, because grace and mercy are upon his
elect, and he watches over his holy ones.”
Wisdom of Solomon 1:9
Here’s the ironic thing about people who are generous. Those that
give freely and cheerfully do not do it to be rewarded. They do it to
show their love for God and their neighbors. Yet, because of their
generosity, they typically are given more than they gave away!
Thank you for your generosity for the
weekend of October 25 and 26, 2014:

The Stewardship Council met on Monday October 20, 2014. Some of the highlights of the discussions at the meeting
include –
The Council welcomed its new members: Carol Abele, Sean Bellew, and Mary Helen McCulloch (who is serving as an
alternate).
As part of each Council meeting, we will have a Reflection on a passage of Scripture that explores stewardship and
good discipleship.
The Council looked at the 2012 In-Depth Evaluation of Parish Life, specifically the section on “A Gifted Parish,” which
focuses on our stewardship efforts. The Stewardship Council has been in existence at the Parish for 23 years.
Stewardship has become a part of who we are, which is exemplified in the October 12,2014 bulletin where the
ministries of the parish are listed, along with the organizations we support through our annual tithe. We have
accomplished much as a parish and of course we seek to always do more, especially to have more people involved in
the giving of time, talent, and treasure. This renewal will be a focus for the Council this year.
The Council received an update from Mary Helen McCulloch on the parish’s young adult efforts. Following feedback
gained from parishioners age 21- 35, two Young Adult Socials have been held after the Saturday 5:00pm Mass, and
more will follow. In addition to the community building of the socials, the group also expressed interest in a volunteer
or service project for the young adults to engage in together.
Fr. Joe shared the FYE 6/30/14 financial report, including some specific highlights.
The Council closed its meeting with the World Meeting of Families 2015 Prayer.

Announcing the 2014/2015
St. Thomas YOUCAT Service Challenge
Attention all parish middle school and high
school students (and their parents). Ready to give
of your time and talent in service to your church and
community? Want to be recognized by the Parish in
May as a Servant Leader? Please take on this
year’s YOUCAT Service Challenge. (remember that
YOUCAT stands for ‘young catholic’)
The St. Thomas Parish Youth Ministry is
challenging you to complete 15 hours of service
over this entire school year. The rules are simple.
Complete and report 15 qualifying hours of service
before May 1st, 2015. A qualifying service hour is
any hour of service performed in connection with the
St. Thomas Youth Group and up to 5 hours
completed outside of the group (other parish,
school, or community events). The only service that
does not count is fundraising. The Youth Group will
organize and announce service opportunities
throughout the year so you will have plenty of
opportunities. Please note that attendance at
devotional services (rosary, stations of cross, holy
hours, etc.) counts as service as will attendance at
the monthly Sunday evening Youth Mass and social
night held at St. Katherine’s (next one is November
2 at 6:00pm). Praying for others with others is
certainly service to the church and community!
For more information about the YOUCAT
challenge and upcoming service opportunities and
to print out a service hours log sheet, please go to
the website http://www.stthomasofvillanova.org/
