discernment. If you or someone you know would be
interested, please contact the parish office at 625-8594. Brian
Haseltine, a parishioner and director of the parish RCIA, will
hold classes in the Pendleton Parish Hall.

A Word From The Bishop,
Religious Education News
Schedule: Sun. Nov 16, Rel. Ed. Class
The Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD)
has come to the aid of communities nationwide for over 40
years in an effort to eradicate poverty. During World Youth
Day, July 25, 2013, Pope Francis told us to “never tire of
working for a more just world, marked by greater solidarity.” CCHD puts these words into action by funding housing, education and the development of job opportunities.
Catholic Trivia Answer: There is no St. John Lateran.
The Cathedral in Rome is named St. John Lateran because
two of it’s patrons are St. John the Baptist and St. John the
Evangelist. Lateran refers to the family who gave the land
to the pope so the Cathedral could be built.
Saint Quote of the Week: “How could I bear a crown of
gold when the Lord bears a crown of thorns?” and bears it
for me!”
St. Elizabeth of Hungary, Feast Day November 17th
Projects supported by CCHD move beyond providing for
basic needs. They work to build healthy, sustainable futures for communities. This past year CCHD provided
grants to several organizations including:
Catechism Quote of the Week: 1360 The Eucharist is a
sacrifice of thanksgiving to the Father, a blessing by which
the Church expresses her gratitude to God for all his benefits, for all that he has accomplished through creation, re-
*Cantalician Center’s program that prepares developmentally disabled adults for employment.
*Vive la Casa in its efforts to provide life skills education
for refugees.
*NOAH, Niagara Organizing Alliance for Hope, in its
work to provide improved public transportation.
CHRISTMAS TREE TAGS Thank you to all parishioners for your generous response in taking one or more tags
from our Giving Tree for St. Luke’s Mission of Mercy.
You help is enabling a child in the poorest area of Buffalo
to have a special Christmas. Please return all gifts wrapped
and with the tag attached by December 1st to the Church or
the Parish Office during normal business hours.
This collection is the primary source of funding for CCHD
grants and education programs. Collection funds offer new
hope each year to those living in poverty throughout the
United States. And remember, 25 percent of the Collection
proceeds stay here in our diocese to fight poverty in our
communities and defend the dignity of our neighbors. Help
us defend human dignity and show Christ’s charity to those
in need.

FAMILY LIFE MINISTRIES St. Paul reminds us in his
letter to the Romans of many comforting words. During
times of loss, loneliness and grief, we may not feel or recognize God’s presence in our lives. Though we can’t imagine all the thoughts and feelings you are experiencing, we
do understand a bit about grieving and that it is a process.
Call the Office of Family Life Ministries at 847-2210 or
email [email protected]. for a free bereavement packet of materials designed to provide support.
For more information about the Collection for the Catholic
Campaign for Human Development and the groups it
funds, please visit www.povertyusa.org.
Yours sincerely in Christ
