Exciting Fair Trade News
Mark Your Calendar!
In partnership with Just Fare Market
This year we are doing something
different and exciting in
November. Instead of our annual
December Fair Trade/Alternative
Gift Event in Holy Family Hall we
are offering a community
shopping night at Just Fare
Market. You will still be
supporting artisans and farmers
in the developing world and be
able to shop for Christmas gifts
for family and friends. Your gifts
make a difference by providing a fair wage that enables
farmers and artisans pay for food, education, healthcare
and housing for their families.
Just Fare will donate back 15% of the evening’s sales if
$500 or more is generated. This money will be used to
assist our sister parish visitors from Santa Rosa. In May of
2015, five members of our sister parish in Nicaragua will
be visiting Fond du Lac. This wonderful opportunity for
mutuality in the relationship is only possible if we support
these missionaries; paying the expenses of visas and air
travel.
The shopping night at Just Fare Market is Thursday,
November 13 from 6:00 pm-8:00 pm. All Holy Family
parishioners and their friends are invited to come to Just
Fare Market at N7645 N. Pebbles Lane to shop for your
Christmas items. There is a fantastic selection of baskets,
scarves, jewelry, handbags, toys, coffee, chocolate, jams,
wall hangings and other
items. The true spirit of
Christmas is realized when
we become aware of how
our spending impacts
others. Thank you for your
support.
If you have any questions,
please call Carol at
920-922-8177.
Respect Life Month Continues
Continue to spend time
this month in prayer and
reflection to specifically
pray that all people
treat each person as a
“Masterpiece of God’s
Creation.”
“God’s infinite love for each one of us helps us to grasp
our identity and our worth. The recognition of this dignity
leads us to respect and protect each person’s life…”
2014 Respect Life Program pamphlet, Advance Medical
Directives: Planning for Your Future, USCCB Secretariat of
Pro-Life Activities
Dignity of Life Listening Session
Gather for a suggestion, discussion and dialogue session
on Wednesday, October 29, from 6:30 - 8:00 pm in the
Holy Family Parish Hall
To achieve the goal of developing a Dignity of Life
ministry, the plan needs to include ongoing education,
prayer, action and service and policy and advocacy efforts
to mobilize our Catholic community on issues of life,
justice and peace. The first and most fundamental
principle of human rights is the call to actively work for a
world of greater respect for human life.
Come join us on October 29 in a formation and discussion
session:

Join others in a brief prayer for God’s help in all
that we do in defense of human life.

Help us plan a Mass of Hope and Healing in
January, 2015 for those who have suffered a
pregnancy loss due to miscarriage, ectopic
pregnancy, still-birth or newborn death.

Hear introduction to Rosebud program: This
Elizabeth Ministries’ program is a beautifully
unique way to show respect for the dignity and
worth of all life. This program helps a church
identify, pray for and support those who are
pregnant, celebrating birth or adoption, grieving
miscarriage, stillbirth, abortion, infant or child
death or wanting to become pregnant or adopt.

Hear about Advocacy opportunities: Public
advocacy from the Catholic community is a civic
responsibility that serves the common good. Here
is an opportunity that will assist you in your own
commitment to advance justice in defense of the
dignity of every human life.

Bring your ideas for ways that you hope Holy
Family can respect the dignity of all human life!

Health and Wellness News
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Here are some recommendations from the
American Cancer Society for early breast
cancer detection.
 Women age 40 and older should have a
mammogram every year and should continue to do
so for as long as they are in good health.

Women in their 20s and 30s should have a clinical
breast exam (CBE) as part of a periodic (regular)
health exam by a health professional preferably
every 3 years. Starting at age 40, women should
have a CBE by a health professional every year.

Breast self-exam (BSE) is an option for women
starting in their 20s. Women should be told about
the benefits and limitations of BSE. Women should
report any breast changes to their health
professional right away.

Women who are at high risk for breast cancer
based on certain factors should get an MRI and a
mammogram every year.

Weekly Justice Challenge
October 19, 29th Week in Ordinary Time
This Sunday’s Gospel has Jesus reminding us
to give to God what is God’s. As Catholics,
we are called to practice stewardship - to
use our time, our resources and our gifts and
talents to build God’s kingdom here on
earth. Your challenge this week is to
examine your efforts to tithe financially. How much of
your money goes toward those most in need? In addition to
your support of the local parish and the universal Church,
to which charities do you contribute? If you don’t have a
favorite charity, consider making a Catholic organization
your charity of choice. Catholic Relief Services, Catholic
Charities, St. Vincent de Paul and the Catholic Campaign
for Human Development are a few of the many great
Catholic organizations which exist to serve the most
vulnerable in our world. Make them part of your practice
of stewardship and give to God what is God’s. Copyright ©
Center for Ministry Development, 2014. FashioningFaith.org. All rights
reserved.
Holy Family Challenge: Many times in scripture we are
reminded to be generous with our time, talent and
treasure.
Holy Family ministries: We welcome the opportunity to
talk with you about the many ways you can serve with
your time and talents. Simply call the parish
office at 921-0580.
St. Vincent de Paul Society: The envelope in your
parishioner packet supports the work of Holy Family
Conference. Your generosity helps serve those who are in
need. You can make your check payable to St. Vincent de

Poverty Simulation
Wednesday, November 5, Holy Family
Parish Hall: This event, from 6:00 pm –
8:30 pm, provides the opportunity for
participants to assume the roles of
different families living in poverty.
What is the simulation? This event
involves participants who assume the roles of different
families living in poverty. The simulation will be
conducted in Holy Family Hall with the “families” grouped
in the center. Around the perimeter will be tables
representing community resources and services. The task
of the families is to provide for basic necessities and
shelter for one “month,” consisting of four fifteen-minute
weeks.
What is its purpose? This poverty simulation experience is
designed to help participants understand what it might be
like to be a part of a typical low-income family trying to
survive from month-to-month. It is a simulation, not a
game. The object is to sensitize participants to the
realities of life faced by low-income people.
Who should participate? This poverty simulation
experience can be an “eye-opener” to anyone who wishes
to understand more about the realities of poverty.
Please join us in this free “Poverty Simulation” event.
Registration is required - Cut and return to Holy Family or
register online at hffdl.org/events.
