JANE FRANCES de CHANTAL CHURCH EASTON, PENNSYLVANIA NOVEMBER 16, 2014 My Dear Parishioners, As we approach the end of the liturgical year, we continue to hear about Jesus’ message of the end times. Today, we hear a familiar story, St. Matthew’s parable of the talents. It involves a man going on a journey and placing his property in the care of his servants. The property that he entrusts is a talent, an extremely valuable amount of money. The master has prudently decided how much his servants are to receive, each according to his ability. He places his faith in his workers and expects great things of them. We know that we are the servants in the parable. Our Master calls upon us to practice good stewardship, This story also challenges us to look at the wisdom we exercise in using the talents and gifts that have been entrusted to us. It does not matter that each of us have different abilities. The expectation is the same – that we make full use of all that is available to us. Certainly, this message is not new to us. But today we are challenged to listen to it with new ears. The Lord is challenging us to take a risk with our talents. It challenges us to look for new and fresh ways of using our abilities in the service of God. It dares us to find original and unselfish ways of giving of ourselves to others. The failing of the third servant was his unwillingness to act. May we never make that mistake in our lives! We can affect the world in which we live by our generosity. Perhaps it seems that the problems of the world are so much larger than any one of us. But we can make a difference. We can take the risk of giving of ourselves, giving of our time,talent and treasure, even when it seems we must take a risk. The Lord has given each of us so much! May we come to appreciate more fully the gifts that we have been given! May we not shrink from the challenge of taking a risk in reaching out to others with the tender compassion of the Lord himself! Sincerely yours, Monsignor Radocha The Rosary is prayed 7:45 a.m. Monday through Friday and on Saturday at 8:30 a.m. Saturday, November 15—Weekday 9:00 Living & Deceased Members of St. Jane’s Women’s Group Vigil: Thirty-Third Sunday in Ordinary Time 5:00 John Russo Sunday, November 16—Thirty-Third Sunday in Ordinary Time 7:30 Joseph Loiacono 9:00 Wanda Nieves 10:30 Parishioners 12:00 Elizabeth Kimmel Monday, November 17—Saint Elizabeth of Hungary 6:30 Russ DiMarco 8:15 Ronald Biedlingmaier Tuesday, November 18—The Dedication of the Basilicas of Saints Peter and Paul 6:30 John Paretti 8:15 Kimberly Allen Wednesday, November 19—Weekday 6:30 Virginia Tighe (Mass for the Living) 8:15 Rev.

Rite of Acceptance/ Rite of Welcome The first of the public rituals celebrated in the RCIA is the Rite of Acceptance into the order of Catechumens (for unbaptized Catechumens) and the Rite of Welcome (for baptized adult candidates preparing to celebrate Confirmation and Eucharist in the Catholic Church). On Sunday, Nov. 30th, our candidates join us at the 10:30 a.m. Mass to celebrate these rites. Each candidate is asked if they are ready to accept the Gospel Way of Life. The candidates are also marked by the sign of the cross by our priest and their sponsors. With this ancient mark, they are claimed for Christ.

LECTORS The 2015 St. Joseph Sunday Missals are now available for you to pick up in the Sacristy. The 2015 missal begins with the 1st week of Advent which is Nov. 30, 2014. Please pick up your missal at your earliest convenience. THE WAY HOME St. Jane’s will soon be initiating a program to welcome inactive and returning Catholics home. The Way Home is a program we will be offering to assist these people in finding their way back to full participation in a Church that has missed them greatly. As a parish family, we all need to be aware of those around us, at Mass, in our school, or in our neighborhoods, who, for whatever reason, have stopped coming, or seldom come, to Mass. A welcoming smile, an encouraging word, or a friendly “hello” in the Gathering Space can give a heart on the edge, the encouragement it needs to seek out “The Way Home.” Please pray for these potential participants and for those parishioners who have offered their time and talent to be on this Evangelization Team. Look for continuing announcements in the bulletin about this exciting program. ST. JANE FRANCES de CHANTAL CHURCH EASTON, PENNSYLVANIA St. Jane’s 31st Parish Retreat “The Lord will give strength unto His people; the Lord will bless his people with peace.” Psalm 29:11 Experience a weekend together with your fellow parishioners and experience the peace that only God can give.

The film, “A Place at the Table” portrays what it is like to be “food insecure” in America today. This powerful, award winning film reveals how three families struggle with food insecurity, describes the history of the problem in our nation, and suggests some ways that we could improve access to healthy food for all Americans. Hunger affects all communities – urban, suburban, rural, and even college campuses. The hidden reality is that hunger is local. In October, the Easton Area Society of St. Vincent de Paul Food Pantry served 248 families—more than 972 people. If you volunteer at the food pantry, or one of the homeless shelters, you should see this documentary. Encourage your friends to come along with you and learn more about how hunger poses serious economic, social and cultural implications for our nation. The Easton Hunger Coalition, which represents all food pantries and soup kitchens in Easton, is making this film available. It will be presented in the Monsignor Gobitis Meeting Room on Monday, November 24th at 1:30 PM and 7:00 PM. A panel discussion will follow. For more information please contact Tony Fague at 610-253-8410 or [email protected] or Dennis and Ellen Potter at 610-253-0814 or [email protected].
