GIVING THANKS WHEN YOU SHOP—Please be
sure to thank the generous advertisers in our bulletin.
Through their participation, our parish prepares our
weekly bulletin free of charge. Many of our advertisers

After you have made a decision that is pleasing to God, the
devil may try to make you have second thoughts. Intensify
your prayer time, meditation, and good deeds. For if satan’s
temptations merely cause you to increase your efforts to
grow in holiness, he’ll have an incentive to leave you alone.

CONSIDERATION OF OUR CHRISTIAN COMMITMENT: ORDINARY TIME THANKSGIVING
This month of November reminds us of the many reasons
we have to give thanks throughout our parish and in our
daily lives. Some happy occasions are listed below:
Center in Walker. Though not an official ministr y of the
parish, parishioners do work in this ministry, and it was
good to welcome them.
Our Children’s Choir was photographed a few weeks
ago at their weekly practice on Wednesday evening at
Sometimes it is great to see things you have slowly become accustomed to through another’s eyes. A few
weeks ago,
Tammy
Jackson and
I had the
opportunity
to
give
Mayor Jimmy Durbin,
Marshall
Jerry Denton and Councilman Rene Delahoussaye a tour of
the Faith Formation Center. I wish you could have heard all
the compliments they shared with us about what we have
done together.
5:30. They sang at St. Joseph Cathedral toward the end of
October and will sing Thanksgiving Eve for our Thanksgiving Eucharist. They will be singing again Christmas Eve
and occasionally sing on Sunday at the 11:00 Eucharist. We
thank them for their ministry and thank also Simon Pfeil and
Glenn Forbes who minister with them. Any youth who may
wish to join them can do so, by simply showing up for
practice Wednesdays at 5:30 p.m.
We celebrated God’s gift of forgiveness sacramentally
this past week with 103 of our younger parishioners as
they gathered with family to celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation for the first time. They celebrated with the Good Shepherd who
seeks out his sheep, and carries them
on his shoulder. This week, we will
continue the celebration in the rectory when they come to class and are
taken by teachers to the rectory for
cookies and soft drinks. We thank
Barbara Normand, the parents and
teachers who prepared them for this special time and wish
these young parishioners God’s every blessing as they prepare for First Eucharist later during the Easter Season.
As we moved into November, the parish was able to host
the Taste
Fair and
Auction
offered by
the Women’s
Resource
One of our Leadership goals is to have more young adults
involved in Leadership Night and in
parish ministries, so
it was good to welcome Jeffrey Wale
(speaking at left with
Durwin Walker) to
Leadership
Night
two weeks ago. Jeffrey has a history of
working with the
parish in leadership roles from his high school days. When I
arrived in the parish five years ago, he was on the transition
team, representing youth. Soon after, studies at L.S.U., and
moving out of the parish forced him to let go of active ministries in the parish. Jeffrey recently moved back to Denham
Springs, passed the bar exam and has been sworn in as an
attorney. One of the first things he did upon returning to the
parish was contact me about becoming involved again in
ministry. He will work with the parish on Leadership
Nights, visiting the different commissions, and putting together a report for the parish on how things are going. This
role is a “work in progress” and we will see how it goes and
tweak it in the coming months. We thank Jeffrey and the
other young adults who are stepping forward to assume responsibilities in the parish.
When there are so many parishioners seeking to share the
forgiveness and the love of Christ in so many ways, there is
good cause of thankfulness as we move together toward
Thanksgiving. Let us pray for each other; Love,

the Catholic Church
R.C.I.A. (Rite of Christian
Initiation of Adults)
There will be a meeting for all sponsors on Thursday, November 20, 2014 at 7 p.m.
The Inquiry R.C.I.A. Sessions will come to an end on Thursday,
November 20. The inquirers have been attending weekly sessions since August and have been learning about our Catholic
faith. Saturday, November 22, the inquirers will be assigned a
sponsor to serve as their companion during the next stage of
their journey.
Next Sunday, November 23, the Rite of Welcome/Acceptance
will be held at the 9 a.m. Mass for the inquirers who have made
the decision to enter into the Order of Catechumens and continue their journey of faith. The Rite of Welcome/Acceptance is
the first of the public rites celebrated in the R.C.I.A. During this
important ritual, the inquirers publicly declare their intention to
continue their journey toward full initiation into the Catholic
Church, and we (as the Church community) accept them and
offer our support. Please join with us next week in the celebration as we present the catechumens and candidates to the
Church community, share in their journey and offer our prayers.

St. Jude 5K Walk to Help Save LIVES!
Saturday, November 22, 2014 at 9 a.m.
BREC’s Highland Road Community Park
On September 24, 2013, four days after starring in a Varisity football game, Monroe
Lockhart was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). In one week he went from
being local high school star athlete to a St. Jude patient. It
has been a whirlwind of a year for the entire family, especially Monroe, who is presently in our Confirmation process this year. During this month of November, Monroe
and his family are celebrating one year of remission! In
thanksgiving to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, for
all they have done for Monroe, a 5K walk will take place
to raise funds to help other children in this battle. Your
donations help families never receive a bill from St. Jude
for treatment, travel, housing or food. St. Jude freely
shares the breakthrough it makes and every child saved at
St. Jude means doctors and scientists worldwide can use
that knowledge to save thousands more children.
Join us in giving thanks for the gift of life, the gift of
Monroe and the support needed to help so many other
children win the race against cancer. Here is the link to
sign-up or make a donation :

The Grapevine
Perpetual Adoration Chapel
“The angel prepared them for the apparitions
of Our Lady the following year. During these
apparitions, the angel specifically called them
to both prayer and Eucharistic adoration. In
the third apparition in the fall, he appeared
holding a chalice and a Host. He prostrated
himself on the ground, while the chalice and Host were
suspended in mid-air, and recited with them a Eucharistic prayer.”
—Excerpts from “Introducing Children to the Blessed
Sacrament” by Rev. John DeMarchi, I.M.C.
