RELIGIOUS EDUCATION TEACHER NEEDED
Our Parish Religious Education Program is in immediate
need of a catechist for the Second Grade class, which
meets on Wednesday evenings. The current catechist
cannot continue due to upcoming surgery. Some
classroom experience is required and an aide is already in
place. Please call Kyra at 870-2386 to inquire about this
rewarding volunteer opportunity.
NOW IN THE VESTIBULE: THE 2014 STAR TREE
Every year for a very long time, St. Jude parishioners have
generously supported the Ladies of Charity’s Star Tree
(formerly the Angel Tree), which currently provides needy
families with gift cards to use to purchase Christmas gifts
for their children. Last year, your donations reached an
all-time high: more than $11,000 was raised, ensuring a
wonderful Christmas for hundreds of needy children in
the Chattanooga area.
PARISH LIFE
SURVIVING THE HOLIDAYS MEETS TODAY
A “Surviving the Holidays” workshop will be offered at
St. Jude TODAY, Sunday, November 16, 2-4pm, in the
Dupree Room of the Family Life Center. This one-session
grief recovery program is for those who have experienced
the loss of a loved one due to separation, divorce, or death.
Whether you have suffered the loss of a partner, parent,
child, or some other significant relationship, and whether
it has been a few months or a few years, this excellent
program has something to offer. Cost is $10 for materials,
and light refreshments will be served.
This year, we have 500 envelopes to fill AND our time
frame is one week shorter! So we need your help once
again. The Star Tree is now up and decorated with empty
envelopes for you to fill. And thanks to the St. Jude School
SCRIP program, we have made it extra easy for you to
help make a child’s Christmas a little brighter and assist
parents in purchasing “the perfect gift” for each of their
children. Here’s all you have to do in 3 easy steps:
1) Take an envelope from the tree and check off the
store name and the amount you are enclosing.
HERE IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO HELP!
2) Write a check payable to “SJS HASA” for that
amount or use cash if you prefer.
St. Jude Parish will host Family Promise (formerly
Interfaith Homeless Network) again this year to house
homeless families for the week of December 21-28.
Volunteers are needed to help in this effort. If you are
interested, sign-up sheets will be available in the church
vestibule during the weekends of December 6-7 and 13-14.
Contact Steve Joyce at 843-9220 with any questions.
Thank you in advance for your support!
3) Seal the envelope and drop it in the blue lock box
next to the Star Tree.
Santa's elves will take care of all the rest! What could
be easier?
***A Note Regarding SCRIP: Your recipient will receive
the full value of the card you choose and St. Jude School
will receive a rebate from each gift card purchased that
will go toward valuable school programs. Our SCRIP
volunteers will not be able to track individual rebates for
this charitable event. St. Jude school families may receive
individual rebate credit by purchasing SCRIP cards
through the school and returning them in their Star Tree
envelopes to the blue lock box in the church vestibule.
BOY SCOUT POINSETTIA SALE
TODAY IN VESTIBULE
St. Jude Boy Scout Troop 172 is

These beautiful plants come in Red,
White, Marble, Burgundy, or Memorials (placed on the

They are delivered fresh. Pickup date is Sunday,

$10/plant. All proceeds benefit Troop 172 activities. See
Scouts after Masses on the weekends of November 15-16
and 22-23, contact a St. Jude Boy Scout, or call Dan
Casagrande at 280-0916 or Mary Beth Welch at 443-0637.
Thanks for your support!
The tree will stay stocked with envelopes through our
final deadline of Sunday, December 7. Please help us fill
every single one of them! Call 842-1483 with any
questions.

soup labels before you dispose of the product container.
Thanks to this program, St. Jude School can earn supplies
for our students and classrooms, but we can’t do it
without your support. For a full list of the products in each

OLIVE WOOD SALES
On the weekend of November 29-30, our brothers and
sisters representing the Christian Catholic Families of
Bethlehem will sell crucifixes, religious artwork, and
rosaries—all made of olive wood native to Israel and
Bethlehem—in the church vestibule. With tourism
numbers down, Christian families in the Holy Land, who
depend on tourists, have been greatly affected. Sales of
these goods will help them very much and also give you
the opportunity to have something authentic from the
Holy Land. Please browse and buy if you can. It is for a
good cause and also a help to your personal devotion. Go
A GRECCIO CHRISTMAS AT HOLY SPIRIT
History credits St. Francis of Assisi with beginning the
popular tradition of the Christmas creche. In 1223, St.
Francis invited the townspeople of Greccio, Italy, to gather
at a cave outside the village to reenact the first Christmas
manger scene. The Channel Of Peace, Secular Franciscan
Order, would like to invite all—young and old—to join
them Sunday, December 14, at 3pm at Holy Spirit
Catholic Church, in Soddy Daisy as they gather to
experience and celebrate, in the spirit of St Francis,

ONE TABLE, EVERYONE’S INVITED
Causeway was founded with a vision to make
Chattanooga the most collaborative city in the country,
where people of all backgrounds naturally come
together to find meaningful solutions to our
community’s most pressing challenges. This year, we
opened our first physical office space, just around the
corner from Miller Plaza, known as a hub for business and
innovation, and Miller Park, often associated with
homelessness and poverty. We believe that to build a city
that is an honest reflection of its residents, everyone has to
be invited to the table.
HALF-PRICE SALE FOR SENIORS
Donations of funds or household goods may
be made at 2821 Rossville Blvd, just off I-24 in
Chattanooga. Store hours are 10am to 4pm,

On Monday, November 24, Causeway will shut down
the block between Miller Park and Miller Plaza for a

of Martin Luther King Boulevard. No fee, no expectations
and no agenda, just an open invitation to get to know your
neighbors a little better and to give thanks for this city of
ours, together.

CAN MY SMALL CONTRIBUTION REALLY
MAKE A DIFFERENCE?
Wow! Thank you for blessing the Northside Neighborhood House with the
abundance of food! It always amazes our staff to see how much you give. So
many clients will have smiles on their faces when they leave NNH with
groceries for their families. The Northside Neighborhood House is very
thankful for all you do!
We at Catholic Charities are deeply grateful for your parish’s
contribution.… Our mission is to serve the most vulnerable in our
community and to empower our clients towards independence and
self-sufficiency. Our underlying principle and primary value is the
sanctity of the human person in all walks of life.
AMAZING!!!! I was truly amazed by the response from St. Jude
to our needs. GOD BLESS EVERYONE!! [Chattanooga Community
Kitchen]
Your donation keeps the doors of our family day center open
so Family Promise of Greater Chattanooga can continue to help
homeless families return to the community as stable,
employed, housed, and self-sufficient citizens contributing to
the local economy, the city, and their neighborhoods.
Homelessness is usually a symptom of more complex problems. A lack of
education, poor interpersonal communication skills, mental illness and/or
substance abuse often make up the real problem. Because of your
support of Chattanooga Room in the Inn (a van full of wish list items!), we
can help women address the real issues that led them to homelessness.
The support each month from St. Jude Catholic Church
makes our outcomes possible. [Family Promise of Greater
Chattanooga]
Your continued support means that the Chattanooga Community Kitchen can plan
for the future. This December, we will open our first ever shelter for homeless
families – as many as 13 families at a time. For the first time in our history, we will
be able to offer men, women, and children a place to stay, together, on the very
night they become homeless.
We received the food you all collected at St. Jude! Thank you so
much for the overflow of blessings! Your church is extremely giving
and year after year I am overwhelmed with the amount you donate
to Northside Neighborhood House clients. Your generosity is
greatly appreciated! We have already been giving out the food to
clients who are in need.
Thank you for your recent gift to the Chattanooga Area Food Bank.
Your gift has already been put to work to help us feed our hungry
neighbors! Dedicated donors who give so generously on a regular basis
make it possible for us to keep up with the demand… and remind us that
we are not alone in our mission.
Thank you for always being generous and caring about your
community. It is such a blessing to have a pantry full of food to give
our clients. We could not “give a hand up” without your support and
food donations. We appreciate your partnership and love for our
clients and the Northside Neighborhood House.
For more than 30 years, the Chattanooga Community Kitchen has offered
help and hope to the homeless of our area through a number of essential,
life-giving services. From meals to clothing, jobs and even counseling, your
support has changed thousands of lives.
Our shelves are full! We had to put some of the food in boxes because
our pantry was overflowing! What a blessing. Thank you, St. Jude
Church, so much. We truly appreciate everything that you do for us.
No one who comes to Northside Neighborhood House will leave
hungry.
Thank you so much! You have no idea how helpful and appreciated your
contributions are to our shelter. [Partnership for Families, Children & Adults]

Refleccion Sobre la Palabra de Dios
La enseñanza de la Liturgia de hoy es muy clara.
Los empleados somos nosotros; los talentos
son las condiciones con que Dios nos ha
dotado al crearnos: inteligencia, capacidad de
amar, salud, bienes temporales...; el tiempo que
dura el viaje del señor hasta su regreso es
nuestra vida terrena; el banquete es el Cielo. En
su infinita condescendencia el Señor nos ha
confiado unos bienes con los que debemos
negociar.
“Tenemos una gran tarea por delante. No cabe
la actitud de permanecer pasivos, porque el
Señor nos declaró expresamente: negociad
mientras vengo (Lc 19, 13). Mientras esperamos
el retorno del Señor, que volverá a tomar
posesión plena de su Reino, no podemos estar
cruzados de brazos. La extensión del Reino de
Dios no es sólo tarea oficial de los miembros de
la Iglesia que representan a Cristo, porque han
recibido de Él los poderes sagrados. Vos autem
estis corpus Christi (1 Cor 12,27), vosotros
también sois cuerpo de Cristo, nos señala el
Apóstol, con el mandato concreto de negociar
hasta el fin”. (San Josemaría Escrivá).
Pero mientras unos trabajan alegre y
generosamente en la tarea encomendada, otros
se inhiben esgrimiendo razones que el Señor
desaprueba. ¿Por qué es castigado el empleado
negligente si no malgastó viciosamente el
dinero y devolvió íntegro el talento recibido?
Justamente por eso, porque se limitó a
conservarlo. No lo perdió, pero no lo hizo
fructificar. Fue condenado por un pecado de
omisión. El siervo perezoso es la viva imagen
del cristiano que cuando es urgido a una vida
de piedad más intensa; a comprometerse en la
empresa de la evangelización; a aliviar el peso
de la pobreza y del sufrimiento de quienes le
rodean, se evade y tranquiliza su conciencia
diciéndose: yo no soy malo, no extorsiono a
nadie, no hago daño. Aparte de que un examen
de conciencia más atento pondría de manifiesto
pequeñas o grandes mentiras, críticas y
murmuraciones, envidias, rencores, malos
tratos, etc., esas personas no reparan en que
existen también omisiones graves, cosas que
deberían haberse hecho o dicho y que no se
hicieron o dijeron, que es, justamente, lo que el
Señor condena en esta parábola. No se hace, tal
vez, nada malo, pero tampoco hay un empeño
sostenido en favor de la familia, de la vida, la
educación, la cultura, la justicia social..., tan
necesitadas de apoyo siempre.
Descendamos al plano personal, ¿yo, en mi
hogar, en el lugar de trabajo, en mis relaciones
sociales, en mi parroquia, hago fructificar los
talentos de inteligencia, salud, simpatía,
imaginación, de posibilidades económicas, de
gestión e influencia, etc., que Dios me ha
concedido, o entierro todo eso en el agujero de
la desidia? ¿Procuro influir a través de mis
contactos profesionales y de todo signo en
esos organismos desde los que se puede
promover con más extensión y hondura los
valores cristianos de la familia, la educación, la
defensa de la vida, el derecho, y tantas
cuestiones más que precisan ayuda? ¡Hay tanto
por hacer! ¡Hay tanta necesidad a nuestro
alrededor, que enterrar nuestros talentos,
inhibirse de los problemas, es una impostura y
algo que desagrada profundamente a Dios!
