MESSAGE FROM OUR PASTOR
Dear Friends in Christ,
In a book called “Joy,” psychologist Dr. William C. Schutz wrote these poignant
lines about his fifteen-month-old son, “He is joyful … he wakes up each morning eager
for new adventure. Maybe today it will be a piece of string, or the telephone, or pots
and pans, or a new toy. Ethan is joy … his joy is contagious. But will something happen
to Ethan as it does to us all? Where will his joy go? In most of us it becomes depleted,
distorted, contorted. Guilt and fear begin to defile us. Somehow the joy of Ethan goes,
never fully to return.”
Don’t let it happen to your life! Don’t let guilt or fear or anything else discourage you from investing your life – risking your all – on God’s plans and purposes. Put
your trust in a gracious, compassionate, merciful and caring God! Wake up each morning eager for new adventure! And your joy will be contagious!
“Well done, my good and faithful servant. Come, share your master’s joy.”
Peace,
Fr. Slawomir

St. Mary’s Christmas Giving Tree
St. Mary’s Christmas Giving Tree is a special event in our parish.
intention that every needy child receives a gift on Christmas Day.
It is our
The “Giving Tree” will be on the altar November 22nd and will remain there until
December 14th. At that time all the gifts will be distributed. Our giving tree
consists of a list from the Battered Women Center, St. Anne’s Pantry, Outreach
and a small group of elderly from Flagler Pines Nursing Home.
HERE’S HOW IT WORKS:
1. Take a star/ball from the tree. It will have the gender, age and wish.
2. There is no limit to the number of stars/balls you may take.
3. Replace the star/ball with a red ball which is provided for you in the basket
under the tree.
4. If you find that the item you chose is too expensive either return it to
the tree for another or replace the gift listed with a gift certificate
within your budget.
5 . Return the gift with the star/ball attached (VERY IMPORTANT) to the
package and place under the tree. Santa will do the rest.
These are especially hard times and the number of people who are in need
continues to grow in our community and all over the country. All of us must try to
give what we can to ensure that everyone has a smile on Christmas Day. Our
parish is such a special one and we know the Lord looks down on us and blesses
any kindness given to the poor and needy. Thanking you all in advance for your
generosity at this most beautiful time of the year.

Prayer for the Sick Members of our Community
Father of goodness and love, hear our prayers for the sick members of our
community. Amid mental and physical suffering, may they find consolation in
your healing presence. Show your mercy as you close wounds and cure illness. May all find lasting health and deliverance. We ask this through Christ
our Lord. Amen.
Do you have a friend or relative undergoing a
medical procedure, recuperating from an illness, or even just in need of comfort? We
provide shawls, coverlets and lap robes that have been prayerfully made by
volunteers and blessed by our pastor, Father Slawomir. If you would like to be a part
of this ministry, we have yarn and can provide help to get you started.
Contact Judith Kattreh at (386) 615-8338.
