In my mind, without the celebr ation of All Saints and all that this feast day means, Thanksgiving would lose so much of its meaning. After all, it’s the faith that the blessings of this earthly life are only a foretaste of the eternal blessings offered to us by our loving Father, is what frees us to really enjoy the blessings that are ours. The blessings which surround us on Thanksgiving Day are not destined to be lost but to be fulfilled. Many of those who may have at one time or another been with us around that table are now around God’s eternal table. Thus the celebration of All Saints Day November 1 is (in my mind at least) the best preparation for Thanksgiving we could have. The Book of Remembrance, placed near the Baptismal Font and Easter Candle will be there come Thanksgiving Day when the pumpkins and other November décor will join them. As we neared the month of November, we celebrated the burial of James “Jimmy” Deville, a parishioner from St. Mary Parish in Morgan City, but living with us at LaPlantation. Because this Tuesday is Veteran’s Day, I thought it would be good to make mention of him. Jimmy was both a veteran and a devout Catholic who came to the Eucharist with us when we celebrated it at LaPlantation. After his passing, when his family went to his apartment to begin gathering his things, they found his Bible which he read faithfully, marking in the margins and making notes. Included in the Gospel of Matthew were some notes on freedom. Because as a soldier he served to protect our freedom, and as a devout Catholic he prayed for and longed for that perfect freedom, I thought his notes would be good to share with you today. So today, I would like to defer a bit of “my space” in this column to Jimmy. “The true freedom, and the true light which Christ brought to Galilee nearly 2,000 years ago, were brought on earth for us too. The Christian faith, and the knowledge of God’s love for us and his infinite interest in our real welfare, are his gift to us and to all men of goodwill who will accept it. Thanks be to God for this marvelous gift of faith, which frees us from the slavery of paganism and sin, and lights the road to heaven for us, amidst the darkness and drudgery of this life…There is a shadow, the shadow of death, over the very greatest of our earthly pleasures. Through our gift of intellect, and the experience of our human race, we all know that life on this earth has to end, and no matter how many more years we may think we have left to us, death will be too soon, far too soon, when it comes…We love life, we too want to live on, we too know that this cannot be on this earth, but thanks to the merciful revelation given us in our faith, we know that the infinite love of God has prepared a future life for us. We know that Christ, by his life and death as man among us has made us adopted sons and daughters of God. We know we have eternal life waiting for us, and that for the Christian who did his or her best to be a true follower and disciple of Christ, death is not the end but the beginning of our real life…With this divine knowledge revealed to us by and through Christ, everything falls into place in our earthly sojourn. We have our joys and sorrows, our births and burials, but we know with the certainty of God’s word, that these are but sign-posts that mark our stages toward, and direct our steps toward our eternal home.” + Thanks Jimmy for serving to protect freedom on earth and sharing your thoughts about the freedom which awaits us. As the Knights of Columbus Soccer Challenge continues, it is a pleasure to recognize two representatives of our K.C. Council. Photographed with A.J. Labello, Grand Knight, are Alex Rivers (grandson of A.J.) and Colin Schultz, who is also one of our altar servers, who won the district competition in soccer the weekend of our parish festival. We congratulate Alex and Colin and thank the K.C.’s for doing so much with the parish and with our youth. As we prepared to celebrate All Saints Day, we hosted an appreciation supper for those who serve in Bereavement Ministries. This valued ministry prepares a meal for families when they return from the services for their loved ones and is also available to lead the Rosary at the wake if requested. We thank them and Stephanie Gaudin, our parish nurse and staff representative on the Outreach Commission under which this ministry falls for organizing this appreciation supper. Let us pray for each other together with the saints in heaven; Love, Page Four Sunday, November 9, 2014 The Grapevine Immaculate Conception Church November 9 — November 22, 2014 Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday 10 11 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM 12 8:30 AM - 9:00 AM 13 14 15 8:30 AM - 9:00 AM Mass/C 9:15 AM - 2:00 PM ELC/CD 12:00 PM - 1 PM AA Meeting/SH 4:30 PM - 5:30 PM PSR 1-8M/FFC 4:30 PM - 5:30 PM 1st Reconciliation 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM Confirmation Make-up/FFC 6:30 PM - 7:30 PM PSR 1-10 Grade/ FFC 6:30 PM - 7:30 PM 1st Reconciliation 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM Cub Scouts #283/ TB G A-Matt/SH 9:15 AM - 2:00 PM ELC/CD 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM G A-Psalms/FFC 12:00 PM - 1 PM AA Meeting/SM 4:30 PM - 5:30 PM PSR 1-8M/FFC 5:30 PM - 6:00 PM Reconciliation/C 6:00 PM - 6:30 PM Mass/Nv/Ben/C 6:00 PM—Women's Council/R2 6:30 PM - Confirmation Class/MH 6:30 PM - 7:30 PM PSR 1-10 Grade 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM Adult Choir/C 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM Ladies Guild Cheese Ball Gathering/MH 8:30 AM - 9:00 AM Mass/C 9:15 AM - 2:00 PM ELC/CD 9:30 AM - 12:00 PM G A-1st Cor/FFC 9:30 AM - 11:30 AM Small Faith/R2 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM AA Meeting/SM 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM Adult Ed/FFC 210 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM TMIY/R2 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM RCIA Session/MH 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM Boy Scouts/TB 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM RCIA-C/TB3 8:00 AM - 10:00 PM Ladies Guild Bazaar Set-up/ MH 8:00 AM - 8:25 AM Reconciliation/C 8:30 AM - 9:00 AM Mass/C 9:15 AM - 2:00 PM ELC/CD 9:45 AM - 10:00 AM ELC Prayer Service/C 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM AA Meeting/SH 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM Charismatic Prayer Group/C 7:00 AM - 8:30 AM That Man Is You/SH 9:00 AM - 7:00 PM Ladies Guild Bazaar/MH 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM AA Meeting/SH 2:45 PM - 3:45 PM Reconciliation/C 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM Sunday Mass/C 16 17 18 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM 19 20 21 22 7:00 AM - 8:00 AM Mass/C 8:30 AM - 9:00 AM Mass/C 9:15 AM - 2:00 PM ELC/CD 12:00 PM - 1 PM AA Meeting/SH 4:30 PM - 5:30 PM PSR 1-8M/FFC 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM Confirmation Make-up/FFC 6:30 PM - 7:30 PM PSR 1-10 Grade/ FFC G A-Matt/SH 9:15 AM - 2:00 PM ELC/CD/MH 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM G A-Psalms/FFC 12:00 PM - 1 PM AA Meeting/SM 4:30 PM - 5:30 PM PSR 1-8M/FFC 5:30 PM - 6:00 PM Reconciliation/C 5:30 PM - 7:00 PM Girl Scouts/PMAC 6:00 PM - 6:30 PM Mass/Nv/Ben/C 6:30 PM - Confirmation Class/MH 6:30 PM - 7:30 PM PSR 1-10 Grade 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM Adult Choir/C 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM Cub Scouts Committee/TB1 8:30 AM - 9:00 AM Mass/C 9:15 AM - 2:00 PM ELC/CD/MH 9:30 AM - 12:00 PM G A-1st Cor/FFC 9:30 AM - 11:30 AM Small Faith/R2 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM AA Meeting/SM 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM Adult Ed/FFC 210 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM TMIY/R2 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM RCIA Session/MH 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM Boy Scouts/TB 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM RCIA-C/TB3 8:00 AM - 8:25 AM Reconciliation/C 8:30 AM - 9:00 AM Mass/C 9:15 AM - 2:00 PM ELC/CD 9:45 AM - 10:00 AM ELC Prayer Service/C 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM AA Meeting/SH 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM Charismatic Prayer Group/C 7:00 AM - 8:30 AM That Man Is You/SH 8:30 AM - 1:00 PM RCIA Reflection Retreat/MH 8:00 AM - 3:00 PM Confirmation Retreat 2/OF 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM RCIA Practice for Rite/C 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM AA Meeting/SH 2:45 PM - 3:45 PM Reconciliation/C 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM Sunday Mass/C 9 Boy Scouts Po-Boy Ticket Sales After All Masses 7:00 AM - 8:00 AM Mass/C 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM Mass/MSH 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM Sunday Mass/C 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM Nursery/TB4 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM Mass/C 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM Children's Lit/H 12:15 PM - 1:30 PM Baptisms/C 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM 1st Reconciliation Retreat/MH 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM Spirit Band/C 4:30 PM - 5:30 PM PSR 6-10/FFC 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM Mass/C 8:00 AM - 1:00 PM Ladies Guild Bazaar/MH 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM Mass/MSH 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM Sunday Mass/C 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM Nursery/TB4 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM Mass/C 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM Children's Lit/SH 12:15 PM - 1:30 PM Baptisms/C 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM Spirit Band/C 4:30 PM - 5:30 PM PSR 6-10/FFC 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM Mass/C 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM Cub Scouts/P 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM CDA Meeting/ MH 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM Cub Scouts #283/ TB Mass/C 9:15 AM - 2:00 PM ELC/CD 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM Young at Heart/MH 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM AA Meeting/SH 4:30 PM - 5:30 PM PSR 1-6/FFC 4:30 PM - 5:30 PM 1st Reconciliation 5:30 PM - 6:30 PM Children's Choir/C 6:30 PM - 7:30 PM 1st Reconciliation 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM G A James/SH 6:30 PM - 7:30 PM PSR 1-6/FFC 6:30 PM - 7:30 PM PSR 1-10/MSH 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM Mighty Macs YMtg/ PMAC 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM Festival Mtg/R2 8:30 AM - 9:00 AM Mass/C 9:15 AM - 2:00 PM ELC/CD 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM AA Meeting/SH 4:30 PM - 5:30 PM PSR 1-6/FFC 5:30 PM - 6:30 PM Children's Choir/C 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM G A James/SH 6:30 PM - 7:30 PM PSR 1-6/FFC 6:30 PM - 7:30 PM PSR 1-10/MSH 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM KC Business Meeting/OF 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM RCIA Sponsor Meeting/FFC ALL AA Meetings at ICC are OPEN! . . .

Right now—not a lot. We should keep up to date with what is going on in Texas but it is being contained. We cannot let the news media cause us to panic. Remember that the discovery of Ebola here in the U.S. is different than the poor conditions in Liberia or Guinea. There are more actual threats to our health such as the common flu that needs our attention. The most important thing to remember is that you cannot get Ebola unless you have come in contact with the blood and/or body fluids of a person that has Ebola. If you have not traveled to West Africa within the last 21 days then you are good. Those that have traveled to that area or have come in close contact with someone that has should check with their health care provider. As you can imagine that is very few people. However there are thousands of people that die each year from the flu. If you listen in church, the sneezing and coughing have already started. Last year the flu was at epidemic numbers. Prevention is the key to keeping illness—flu or Ebola— away. • • • • • It all starts with hand washing. Thinking smart— washing your hands before eating, after using restroom, keep hands away from face and for sure out of mouths— are all ways to stay safe. Carry hand sanitizer in your purse and car. Stay home if you are ill, this means fever free without medications for 24 hours. Get a flu shot. While the shot may not keep you flu free, it will lessen the severity of the virus. Notify your physician at the first sign of the flu. There are medicines to decrease the severity and shorten the duration. Just to reiterate here is a message from the Bible: “Cleanse your hands, you sinners.” James 4:8 Holiday Bazaar—November 15/16 A Holiday Bazaar sponsored by the Ladies Guild of ICC will be held in the Main Hall on Saturday, November 15, from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sunday, November 16, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Jambalaya and tamales will be available (eat in or carry out).
