Stewardship in Action:
That as faith-filled stewards, we strive to bring
peace and justice into the world while we await
Jesus’ return, we pray to the Lord…
Stewardship Reflection:
When the Son of Man comes in glory, may we
be among those who have fed the hungry, welcomed the stranger and clothed the naked. For
Jesus tells us clearly that it is those who have
demonstrated good stewardship by sharing their
gifts with the less fortunate who will receive
God’s blessing and inherit the kingdom.
Living Stewardship:
We are grateful this week for all stewards in
our parish who give evidence that Christ is Lord
in their lives through adoration of the Blessed
Sacrament, attendance at Benediction or Forty
Hours devotion.
Stewardship of Collections:
Our thanks and gratitude for your sacrificial
giving each week.

A SERVICE OF LESSONS AND
CAROLS FOR ADVENT
at
ST. HUGH OF LINCOLN
On Sunday, December 7th at 3 PM, we
will celebrate the season of Advent with
“Lessons and Carols.” In this traditional
form of prayer each “Lesson” (Scripture
reading) will be followed by a
“Carol” (song) of praise or longing. As has
become our tradition, this annual service
will be led by the combined Music Ministries from St. Hugh and Gloria Dei Lutheran Church. Join us as we celebrate this
hope-filled season. All are welcome and
invited for a light supper afterward.
FROM THE PASTOR
Outreach column:
My name is Fran Leek and together with Yaritza Ramos (Yary) and a large group of very dedicated volunteers we run the Parish Outreach. We are responsible for the care of the underserved community in Huntington Station, this at times is a very daunting task but still it has it
rewards.
We currently feed over 650 people a month from our Client Choice Pantry. This could not be
accomplished without your help. The weekly donations brought into the Church and into Outreach help keep our pantry shelves almost full. Along with Brown Bag Sunday’s which is always a great success and helps not only Outreach but St. Vincent DePaul to fill the Thanksgiving Baskets.
During this time of the year our volunteers work very hard to ensure that we meet the needs of
all the people who come to Outreach. In November we run our Christmas Gift Card Program
that helps us care for some of our families who are having a particularly difficult year. And as
usual it was very successful due to your generosity.
From October to January we are abundantly blessed by the generous donations we receive
from the Parish as well as from the Community. To keep us going throughout the year we have
several Grants both County and State that allow us to purchase food when our shelves are
bare. We also received a grant from the Capuchin Food Pantries which allows us to purchase
whatever we need for our pantry.
We also provide transportation to medical appointments, do some financial assistance for Rent,
Utilities, Fuel Oil and Medications when we can. We can be reached by phone at 271-8986 or
by e-mail. [email protected].
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our Parishioners who throughout the year
help us to provide this very essential Ministry for the Huntington Station Community. A special Thank You goes to our volunteers who spoke at the masses today.
I also want to Thank Fr. Joe for allowing me to tell you our story in his column today.

An Evening of Spiritual Renewal
The Gospel of Matthew tells us Jesus
came from a family tree of sinners: murderers, cheats, cowards, adulterers, liars,
tyrants, and fools, yet he is not ashamed
to call us brothers and sisters! His ancestors also
include women and men of great faith like Mary
and Joseph. Jesus is born into humanity at its most
broken and its most graced, and that includes
you!

PRAYER FOR HEALING
Father, source of healing & forgiveness, we pray for all parents overwhelmed by grief & sorrow at the
loss of their son or daughter by abortion. You never abandon those who hope in You; so we pray the
hearts of those wounded by abortion might be open to Your Divine Mercy, that they would have the
grace of repentance & so experience the embrace of the Father. We pray that Jesus, the Good
Shepherd, so rich in love & compassion, may hear the cry & see the tears of each of these mothers &
fathers so He may heal their broken hearts & restore them to life. Give these grieving mothers & fathers the consolation of
believing & trusting that her child is now living in the Lord. That this may soothe the terror of their soul. We pray that the
Blessed Virgin Mother, Mother of all tenderness & our Mother, may strengthen their faith in you. We ask this through Christ
our Lord, who conquered sin & death, & who lives with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever & ever. Amen

WAITING – NOT DOING ANYTHING
ADVENT SILENT RETREAT
Nothing in our culture encourages us to wait or to discover what waiting can reveal to us of ourselves, life,
and God. We are made to feel that if we find ourselves
waiting, then something is wrong with us: we’re not
efficient—we’re not “with it.” Indeed, anxiety, helplessness, fear, and vulnerability encourage us to avoid
waiting. Waiting reveals—as nothing else does—what
life can be. To avoid waiting is to avoid God, ourselves, and a richness of life that remains hidden until
we begin to realize that the more we depend upon
God, the more free we are!
Presenter: Fr. Larry Lewis M.M.
