Baptism: This important sign of initiation is celebrated in the community at
any one of the weekend Masses. Parents must complete the preparation
program (offered every other month). Please contact the church
office at least two months prior to your anticipated date for Baptism.
Marriage: This sacrament provides an opportunity for a couple to stand as a
sign of God’s love in the community. To this end, a period of preparation is
important and necessary.
Contact the church office
at least six months prior to
your proposed marriage
date to begin this process.
Anointing of the Sick: If
you are preparing for surgery
or hospitalization, this
sacrament can be celebrated
with you on any weekend at

contact the church so we can
pray with you at home or in
the hospital.
Mission Statement
With the Blessed Virgin Mary, the first disciple of Jesus Christ, as our example and patron, the mission of Queen of the
Apostles Catholic Church is to proclaim and share the Gospel entrusted to us. We celebrate our oneness with the
Risen Christ, with each other and the entire Church, through the sacraments, especially the Holy Eucharist. We accept
the direction given us by the Second Vatican Council. We are committed to this mission by our worship, education,
fellowship, and outreach to the needy.

to assist in the purchase of food and other
necessities for our annual Thanksgiving meal for
those in need.

From the Pastor’s Desk...
As you might recall, during the month of October we gave the
opportunity for parish members to gather on Monday evenings and
pray the rosary together for peace in our communities and in our
world. I am edified by the large group of individuals who came to be
part of this weekly opportunity for prayer. As the month came to a
close, I was asked if we might continue the practice on a monthly basis
and so I want to invite you to join together on the first Monday of each
month at 7:15 PM in the church so that we might pray a
Monthly Rosary together. Make a note of your calendars now and
look for reminders in the bulletin. Each month I will try to offer a
suggestion for an intention and, of course, you should bring your own
intentions as well. So, in December we will gather at 7:15 pm on
December 1. Join if you are able for this opportunity to pray as one
and to remember the intention: for all who struggle with terminal
illness: cancer, aids, and genetic disorders that will claim or shorten
life.
Next Saturday morning, November 22, the children of the parish who
have been preparing for first sacraments will gather with me in the
church to celebrate First Reconciliation. It is always one of my
favorite celebrations! I ask that you remember these boys and girls
who will encounter the special grace of God's forgiveness in this special
way as they continue their journey to embrace the Eucharist and to
continue to grow in the Faith. Pray for their families, too, at this special
time.
The Belmont Community Thanksgiving Service is scheduled for
Sunday, November 23 at 7:00 pm at First United Methodist Church
here in Belmont. We will gather with the other churches of the area for
prayer and song as we give thanks for our many gifts. Please come and
join us in a sign of unity and an opportunity to pray with others before
this great feast.
And don't forget our Thanksgiving Day Mass and Sharing of
Thanksgiving Bread at 9:00 am on Thursday, November 27 as well
as our Annual Thanksgiving Meal that day at noon. Join us to eat or
if you need a meal delivered to you, please call the church office by
Monday, November 24 before close of business.
And coming along before too many more weeks
is our annual Angel Tree project which allows us
to provide Christmas gifts to needy families in the
area. At that time, take an angel from the tree in
the Narthex and follow the directions for
returning your gift to us. This is always such a
special opportunity each year and I am grateful
that you are so generous. Last year 88 children
were provided for and our Christmas Food
Baskets fed more than 100 families. Thanks in
advance for this year!!!
Be blessed (and warm) this week!

It is a portrait of Mary standing

would very much like it returned.
The Knights will reimburse the
buyer the price paid and offer a
very heartfelt “thank you” for the
return of this painting. Please

Get Ready
The Letters of Paul to the
Thessalonians are among his
earliest writings, and are driven by
his belief and the belief of the
entire early Christian community
that the return of Christ was
imminent. Therefore, to devote
time or attention to anything else
was foolish.
As time progressed, this fervor
receded a bit. Today we may
wonder, when we hear these
readings about the coming endtimes, if we should take them to
heart. What should we do when we
hear that the day of the Lord will
come upon us “like a thief at
night”? (1 Thessalonians 5:2) Does
this mean we are to stop our longrange goal-setting, get rid of our
yearly calendars and planners, or
stop putting money in the college
education fund? Of course not.

Noviembre
En noviembre nuestra colecta de
alimentos será para el BCO.
Mermelada, salsa para pasta, arroz,
macarroni con queso, son los
alimentos más necesitados, pero
todas las donaciones son muy bien
recibidas. Belmont Community
Organization está localizada en
Catawba Avenue en Belmont y sirve
a nuestra área con alimentos, ropa,
pago de renta y servicios públicos.
Sus horas de operación son de lunes
a viernes de 9:00am-1:00pm. Si
usted está buscando una
oportunidad para ser voluntario(a),
por favor llame a Paula al 704-8254256. Gracias por su generosidad
con la recolección de alimentos del
mes y por su colaboración al repartir
estas donaciones.
El Árbol de Ángeles
talentos para inculcarnos la responsabilidad de lo que hacemos y
también de lo que dejamos de hacer. Todos, al ser llamados a la vida,
hemos recibido talentos de los cuales daremos cuenta al dueño de
ellos. Nuestros talentos pueden ser muchos o pocos, más o menos
valiosos; sobre ellos recae nuestra responsabilidad. Los talentos
representan todo aquello que es de Dios. Los talentos no son confiados
todos a un solo siervo, sino que son divididos entre los tres, según las
propias capacidades. Más que dotes naturales, éstos indican la
participación en la vida divina que está garantizada a los discípulos,
aunque si la division sugiere una cubierta parcialidad de esta
participación. La enseñanza podría ser: una la humildad, teniendo
presente que no es humildad el ir pregonando yo no valgo nada. NO
confundir un complejo de inferioridad con la virtud de la humildad.
Debemos ser conscientes de nuestros talentos, reconocer exactamente
las cualidades que Dios nos ha concedido. Eso es humildad. Vivir en
esta virtud es vivir en la verdad. Dios no ha puesto en su creación
seres inútiles. Si Dios nos concedió la vida, es señal inequívoca que
espera algo de nosotros. La humildad consiste en reconocer que
somos simplemente administradores de los talentos recibidos. Cuando
ejercemos nuestra mision como cristianos bautizados, jamás digamos
hice mucho, porque cualquier acción que hagamos por grande que
sea, no se puede comparar con el gran amor de Dios, que El nos da a
cada instante de nuestra existencia. Meditemos este mensaje con
mucha responsabilidad.
El año pasado nuestra parroquia
sirvió a 88 niños con dos ángeles por

niño. Nosotros estamos aquí para
servir a nuestra iglesia y a nuestra comunidad. Por favor contacte a Sandy Endicott al 704-813-2813 si usted
tiene una necesidad o sabe de alguien que la tenga, hágalo antes del 28 de noviembre. El árbol de ángeles
estará disponible en la iglesia empezando el fin de semana antes de Thanksgiving, entonces escoja su ángel
antes de irse a viajar por las festividades. Los ángeles empacados deberán ser entregados en la iglesia con la
tarjeta bien asegurada para el día 7 de diciembre. Los ángeles que se entreguen retrasados deberán hacerlo
a más tardar a las 12:30pm del domingo 14 de diciembre. Se necesitan voluntarios para llevar los regalos a
la bodega y organizarlos después de las misas de 9:45 y 11:30am del domingo 7 de diciembre. También se
necesitan voluntarios para la entrega el día lunes 8 de diciembre.
Programa de Preparación para la Primera Reconciliación:
Noche de los Discípulos.
La Noche de los Discípulos con el Padre Frank será el miércoles 19 de noviembre a las 6:45pm. Los niños y
los padres deberán venir vestidos como discípulos! Este es el evento final de preparación para el Sacramento
de la Reconciliación programado para el sábado 22 de noviembre a las 10:00am.
Dios los colme de bendiciones
durante esta nueva semana!!!
