Choose a Mass time from below. An opportunity to unite in fellowship will follow each Mass. Blessed Teresa of Calcutta Our Lady of Guadalupe Sunday, Nov.16 Sunday, Nov. 16 7:30, 9:00, 11:00 a.m. 7:45, 10:30 a.m. Special collection for Human Development on November 23. November 16, 2014 THIRTY-THIRD SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME The parables were spoken by Jesus to people of his time, but were written in the gospels for us to hear. Today’s gospel is a call to action for all of us. Do we recognize our talents and abilities? Some of us do and many of us don’t. Having recognized them, have we taken responsibility for developing them? And, finally and most importantly, do we use our talents for others and not just ourselves? Do we use our unique gifts to help the poor and needy, the weak and the helpless? Our Savior speaks harsh words to all who are unwilling to share their abilities and help make the world a better place. What am I doing with my gifts? How do I make my parish and neighborhood and metropolis a happier and healthier place? THANKSGIVING DAY MASS On Thursday November 27th we celebrate Thanksgiving Day with a special Mass at 9:00 AM. I hope the church will be crowded as usual. We have so much for which to be thankful, even in troubling times. In fact, it is in times of tension and conflict that we can be most grateful for the gift of faith and for having a God who is so loving and generous. THANKSGIVING DAY CANNED GOODS COLLECTION We are holding our usual food collection drive on Thanksgiving Day. We ask that you carry your contributions up to the sanctuary during the offertory procession. The St. Vincent de Paul Society will use the food and cash donations for the benefit of the needy of our area. COMINGS AND GOINGS Several years ago Mary Ann Prives and Pat Menning attended a workshop about parish bereavement committees. They were excited about what they heard and asked me if we could do this at OLP. Since then they have been meeting with families dealing with the death of a loved one and help them select the readings and various options allowed at the funeral liturgy. Both Pat and Mary Ann have decided that they no longer can perform this wonderful ministry. I thank them for their dedication in this ministry. Now Cathy Chilenski, Carol Davis, Mary Kappel and Carol Reiter have volunteered to help. If you are interested in this ministry, contact Margie at the parish office. EDITOR NEEDED FOR PARISH NEWSLETTER Joe Dunne is stepping down from editing the Spirit of Providence parish newsletter. The next issue is his last. So far no one has volunteered to replace him. The newsletter has been a valuable communication tool and Joe has done an excellent job over many years. When the newsletter began a whole committee of people were producing it. I would like to find a group of people to take responsibility for this communication tool. Are you gifted in the field of communication? Do you have some time and talent to share in this area? Don’t be shy. Give it a try. Let me know. IT IS TIME FOR THE GIVING TREE! Once again this year we will help the Rural Parish Workers of Christ the King in their ministry to the rural poor in the Old Mines area of Washington County, Missouri. The Giving Trees will be available for you to choose gift items on the weekend of November 22-23. All gifts need to be returned to church by Sunday evening, December 14. The process remains the same. Pick an ornament from one of the two trees and purchase and wrap the item. Put the contents of the gift on a card and affix it to the outside and then return the gift to church. Let’s all get involved in this wonderful OLP tradition. Fr.

Blood Pressure checks this weekend, after Mass in the Schneider Room. From Marilyn Price, Parish Nurse Prebiotics and Probiotics: Hand- in Hand for Good Health To understand how prebiotics and probiotics work, it is helpful to start from the beginning with a few definitions. What is a biotic? Biotic describes a living or once living component of a community; for example organisms, such as plants and animals. Biotic means living organism. What are antibiotics? Antibiotics are agents that either kill or inhibit the growth of microorganisms. What are bacteria? Bacteria are single-celled organisms that live on, in and around most living and non-living things. With few exceptions, bacteria can be seen only with the aid of a microscope, and millions of them would fit on the head of a pin. Our first impression of bacteria is how deadly or infectious they are, but it is only a very small amount of them that are bad. For instance, out of 2500 strains of Salmonella, only two of them cause trouble. Some bacteria such as E Coli only cause havoc when ingested through the mouth. Although some bacteria are harmful, many bacterial species are beneficial. Bacteria that live in the intestines of humans are essential in digesting food. Other species of bacteria play a role in fermentation, a process that produces foods such as yogurt and cheese. What are probiotics? Probiotics are organisms such as bacteria or yeast that are believed to improve health. They are available in supplements and foods. The digestive system is home to more than 500 different types of bacteria. They help keep the intestines healthy and assist in digesting food. They are also believed to help the immune system. What foods are good sources of probiotics? One of the best sources of probiotics is yogurt. Look for “live or active cultures” on the label to be sure your favorite band of yogurt is a rich source of probiotics. Other good food sources are sauerkraut, miso soup fermented soft cheeses like Gouda, and even sourdough bread, the common feature of all these foods is fermentation, a process that produces probiotics. What are prebiotics? Prebiotics are non-digestible foods or food ingredients which enter our colons un-altered by the digestive process. They serve as food for probiotics. In other words, prebiotics are food for the friendly bacteria in your intestines. What foods are good sources of prebiotics? To help maintain healthy levels of prebiotics, you can feed them with the foods you eat. Foods rich in prebiotics include asparagus, Jerusalem artichokes, bananas, oatmeal and legumes. How do prebiotics and probiotics work hand-in-hand? Prebiotics help nourish the probiotics in your intestines to help keep your digestive system in balance. If you don’t eat foods rich in prebiotics, the level of probiotics may fall.

This will be the eighth year we have directed funds to St. Pius. Their Ministry for the Sick and Elderly feeds over 100 people on Thanksgiving Day.
