Page Two THE WORD OF GOD THIS SUNDAY: For this Sunday, the thirty-third in Ordinary Time, the Scriptural readings begin with a passage from the Book of Proverbs which extols the virtues of a wonderful wife. In the second reading, from the First Letter to the Thessalonians, Saint Paul exhorts us to remain vigilant for the return of the Lord. In the Gospel, Jesus speaks of a man who demanded accountability from his servants and infers that such accountability will be demanded of us as well at the end of our lives. 5:30 P.M. MASS NEXT SATURDAY (NOVEMBER 22ND) The 5:30 p.m. Mass next Saturday, November 22nd, will be celebrated in the chapel at Cardinal Wuerl North Catholic and NOT in the auditorium. This is necessary because of the need to set up the stage for a concert by the Pittsburgh Symphony that evening. Please note that the chapel seats only 250. It may be a little crowded so if you regularly attend the 5:30 p.m. Mass and can attend another that evening please do so. SYMPATHY: The sympathy of the parish is extended to parishioners Chuck Young and his family at the death of his wife and parishioner, Debra Young and Raymond Konesky and his family at the death of his wife and parishioner, Esther Konesky. May their souls and all the souls of the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace.

Both texts are couched in the domestic terms that characterized Hebrew life and understanding, but the Lectionary’s intent is to offer models for all sorts of lifestyles, vocations, and situation in life. Those who “fear the Lord” are faithful in carrying out the ordinary everyday demands of covenant living, and their fidelity and generosity flow back to them in abundant blessings. Psalm 128 celebrates the blessedness that comes to a person who in daily living is faithful to the demands of the covenant.

Wow! We had a very inspirational message from Christina, our guest speaker! She shared her struggles recovering from brain surgery and challenged us to have a positive attitude no matter what happens in life. She called those challenges “Golden Opportunities” to see life in a different perspective and to focus on God and what is really important in life. Christina also encouraged us to not wait for a life changing event to change our perspective or deepen our relationship with God. Do it today! THANK YOU! Thanks to everyone who donated money towards Christina’s mission to build an orphanage in Haiti! Collectively, we donated $155.00! Go to Christina’s foundation page to see our donation and to read of her passion for Haiti.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION Page Six November 16, 2014 To Build A Church, a Church Alive Pledge Redemption Instructions Over the next five years, we will be collecting on the pledges made to our To Build A Church, A Church Alive Campaign which will enable us to build our church. In order to make the process easier for both you and the parish, we ask that you please utilize the following information when you fulfill your commitment. Pledge Payments Remittance statements are mailed the last week of every month. If you are sending payments on a different schedule than monthly, the remittance statement schedule is the same, but you’ll receive them when you selected — semi-annually, annually, etc. In order to assist Saint Kilian with the pledge payment process over the next five years, please wait for your reminder statement before sending any payments to To Build A Church, A Church Alive. Do not send payments directly to Saint Kilian. Pledges are centrally processed, and the Diocese sends the proceeds to Saint Kilian each quarter over the next five years via our parish’s Diocesan savings & loan account. If you need to make any changes to your pledge, or if there are any errors, please send the changes to: To Build A Church, A Church alive c/o Our Campaign for The Church Alive! PO Box 4 Pittsburgh, PA 15230 If you prefer to make your payments electronically (from a bank account or credit card) please visit the Faith Direct Website www.faithdirect.net where you can create an account or sign into your current account. Once on the main homepage of your account, click “Add an Organization,” then enter the code PA162 for the Diocese of Pittsburgh, not PA191 for Saint Kilian. Next, select Saint Kilian from the drop-down menu in order to have your payments apply to the To Build A Church, A Church Alive Campaign at Saint Kilian. The remaining steps will allow you to set up your payment schedule. Finally, you will need to link your payment to a major credit card or bank account of your choosing. Tax Letters Each year, tax letters will be sent from the Diocese for the preceding year of all pledge payments, note that these are separate from the information sent by Saint Kilian for your Offertory and Parish Share participation.
