CHURCH STAFF Rev. David Richter, Pastor Rev. Keith Garvin, Parochial Vicar Deacon Tom Deal The feast of Christ the King is one of the most recent solemnities of the Catholic Church. Deacon Chris Domingue Rev. Msgr. Edmund J. Moore, Pope Pius XI instituted the Feast of Christ the King in 1925 as the last Sunday in October. In Retired in Residence Pope John XXIII’s 1960 revision of the liturgical calendar, the date and title remained the same and, in the new simpler ranking of feasts, it was classified as a feast of the first class. Tess Cash, Secretary Haley Pulliam, Business Manager In his 1969 motu proprio Mysterii Paschalis, Pope Paul VI made three changes. First, he moved Barbara Lewis, Bookkeeper the feast to its current place – the Sunday before Advent. Second, he expanded the name to Missy McKenzie, Development Dir. “Dominus Noster Jesus Christus Universorum Rex” {Our Lord Jesus Christ King of the Uni- Jennifer Sparks, Development verses}. Third, he raised the feast to that of a Solemnity. Kerri Frantz, Parish School of Religion Pam Givens, Director of Music In the celebration of the Extraordinary Form (the traditional Latin Mass), the feast of Christ Ken Vincent, Finance Council Chair the King is still celebrated on the last Sunday in October, however the older propers for the Lisa Patrick, JGS School Principal Christ the King Last Sunday after Pentecost posses eschatological themes.

Keith Garvin, John ThanksgivingThanksgiving Day,Day, aa dedeeplyeply CatholicCatholic holidayholiday Guerriero, Jr, Andi Holyfield, Susan McKenzie, Lisa Patrick, Fr. David For most Americans, Thanksgiving Day is a special day, where we celebrate family unity. In fact, families get Richter, Charles Sampognaro, Kathi Savage, J. Randy Smith, Kelly B. together on Thanksgiving more often than on any other holiday, including Christmas, and according to retailers’ Southern, Eric Thibodeaux (Pres.), statistics, this is the day when the most food is consumed in the country. Delle Tyler, Elizabeth Williams But besides the traditional family get-together and the big meal, there is also the religious meaning of this holiday,

PARISH OFFICE HOURS that is present since its origins. According to tradition, the pilgrims celebrated the first meal of thanksgiving in 1621, 8:00 am ‐ 4:00 pm together with a group of natives to give thanks to God for the abundance of the harvests in the new world. Monday ‐ Friday With time, this celebration became a national event, finally sanctioned by President George Washington himself. Today, we Catholics, celebrate Thanksgiving not only as a national holiday, but also as an authentically Catholic MASSES holiday. Weekend Anticipated: Saturday ‐ 4:30pm I say that this is a truly Catholic celebration because even before the “first” Thanksgiving celebration on U.S. soil in Sunday ‐ 8:30am, 11:00am, 5:00pm 1621, on April 30, 1598, in Texas, Don Juan de Oñate had already declared officially a “Day of Thanksgiving,” Nursery for 1‐4 year olds commemorated with the holy sacrifice of the Mass. 8:30am and 11:00am Oñate did what is essentially Catholic: to celebrate the Eucharist, a word which comes from the Greek term Weekdays: Eukaristein, and which means, precisely, “thanksgiving.” Monday & Wednesday 6:30am In fact the Catechism of the Catholic Church reminds us that “Believing in God, the only One, and loving him with Tuesday & Thursday 5:30pm all our being has enormous consequences for our whole life,” (CCC 222); and then it adds that this involves, “living in Friday (School Mass) 8:10am Saturday 7:30am thanksgiving: if God is the only One, everything we are and have comes from him: ‘What have you that you did not Holy Days 8:10am, 5:30pm receive?’ ‘What shall I render to the Lord for all his bounty to me?’”(CCC 224). This is the reason why, although Thanksgiving is not a day of obligation on the Catholic calendar, the liturgical RECONCILIATION calendar of the church in the United States celebrates it with the solemnity of two readings — one from the Old and Saturday 3:00pm ‐ 4:00pm another from the New Testament — and with a symbolic reading of the Gospel of Luke: the passage of the or by appointment “Magnificat” proclaimed by the Most Holy Virgin Mary, in which she recites one of the most beautiful and profound ADORATION thanksgivings to the infinite love of God: “My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord; my spirit rejoices in God my Every Tuesday until Benediction at savior. For he has looked upon his handmaid’s lowliness… The Mighty One has done great things for me, and holy is 5:20pm. See inside weekly church his name.” (Lk 1:41-55) bulletin for additional information. Although the Virgin Mary experienced it in a unique and privileged way, we can offer our thanksgiving to God, because he has given us more than we imagine or deserve, simply because, as our Holy Mother tells us, he has done FAITH ENRICHMENT/PSR great things for us, and holy is his name. Sunday 9:40am JGS Cafeteria That is why we Catholics should not only celebrate Thanksgiving with a deep sense of prayer, gratitude and joy, but Grades K‐12 during the school year the celebration this day should lead us to remember that our lives as Catholics are a constant act of thanksgiving, through our daily activities, all of which should give glory to God, especially through the celebration of the Eucharist, BAPTISM which, as the Catechism says, “The Eucharist is a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the Father, a blessing by which the Please call Fr. Richter or Fr. Keith to church expresses her gratitude to God for all his benefits, for all that he has accomplished through creation, redemp- schedule a baptism.

Through it, we prepare to receive the supreme gift from God: his MATRIMONY own Son, who became one of us to reconcile humanity. Please contact the church office at I pray with all my heart to our Mother, who was always grateful to the Lord, to fill our hearts with thanksgiving, in least six months prior to the wedding preparation for the great mysteries of Christmas. date.
