FOND FAREWELL:
After serving our parish for 8 years as
Office Administrator, Vera has accepted the position of Manager for the Edmonton Pregnancy Crisis Center, now
under the umbrella of Catholic Social
Services and Together We Serve.
We are grateful for her time, dedication and commitment to our priests,
parish and office staff. Please keep
Vera in your prayers. We wish her all
the best!
A 'thank you' reception will be held
after the 11:00am Mass on November
22nd.
Pray for those who suffer for whatever
reason, physical or spiritual: that they may
be granted the vision of the Kingdom that
can help them to overcome their hardships
and toil.
Pray for the proud, those who consider
themselves saved by their own merits and
deeds: that they may discover that God’s
action is performed through those who seem
to be the last and least important according
to the values of this world.
Pray for those who live their faith and feel
the despair of “not being up to the mark” of
the vocation to which they were called: that
they may accept their shortcomings with
humility and put their trust in God’s grace.
BAPTISMS:
Nora Daly
Azure Goodwin
Universal: That we may be open to
personal encounter and dialogue with
all, even those whose convictions differ
from our own.
Evangelization: That pastors of the
Church, with profound love for their
flocks, may accompany them and enliven their hope.
YOUTH DONATIONS:
Our youth ministry program is looking
for donations of sports equipment,
costumes (dress-up clothes), and props
that can be used for skits. Please call
Nicole at the office if you have items
you would like to donate. Thank you.

POPE’S PRAYER
INTENTIONS:
MERCY MINUTE:
Do not grow weary of praying for sinners. You know what a burden they
are to My heart. Relieve My deathly
sorrow; dispense My mercy.
(Our
Lord’s words to St. Faustina). Diary 975
SUNDAY REFLECTION:
Today’s celebration should fill us with
the joy of knowing that a number of
Christians have already attained the
goal of their life: sharing in Jesus the
fulfilment of His promises of blessing.
And at the same time, it must also be a
reminder of the distance existing between the values of the Kingdom proclaimed by Jesus and those of the world
in which we live. To what extent do we
believe that our happiness depends on
the standards of this world? To what
extent do we still think, just as the old
Israelite community did, that the signs
of God’s blessing are riches, comfort,
health, success? Are we able to find
God’s and Jesus’ presence in the bitter
moments of life? I repeat that the Beatitudes are not a “code of conduct” or an
ascetic way, but are we capable of finding the joy that overcomes suffering and
distress, the joy that proceeds from God
alone? Do we receive and live by Jesus’
attitude of conscious and responsible
acceptance of God’s plans in spite of
their demands?

Saint John Bosco
Patron of Youth and Schoolchildren.
St. John Bosco was born on August
16th 1815 in a small town in Italy. He
was ordained to the priesthood in 1841
and went to work in Turin. He dedicated his life to poor and troubled
youth and began youth clubs for them.
He then started boarding schools,
where he taught them trades. In 1859
he founded the Salesian Society, and in
1872 the Salesian Sisters to work for
girls. John Bosco died on January 31,
1888. He was declared a saint on April
1, 1934 by Pope Pius XI.
This year our parish will be presenting
a new Saint each month. Resources
and information about these saints can
be found on the website. Cut out the
below prayer, put it on your fridge, and
then bring it to Mass with you. This prayer will be said at all Masses for the month.
Prayer:
Dear Jesus, Saint John Bosco
pointed people to you and as a
result many lives were changed
for the better. Help my life and
my actions to also point others to
You in the same way. I unite my
prayers with this dear saint, especially on behalf of young people
everywhere. Amen
