PASTORAL COLUMN Dear Brothers and Sisters, This column will be somewhat of a catch all – items that are going on around us and our parish life. But I thought you might find some of them interesting. Fall Festival …. The numbers are being worked and processed. We are still waiting for a few invoices and reimbursements to be made. However, I’ve been told that the festival results are really good, and we have broken previous amounts in various areas. The full report should be forthcoming in a couple of weeks. While we await those results, I once more want to thank everyone for making this festival such a great success. It’s almost impossible to calculate the number of hours people put into this very successful festival. So, thank you again. Kitchens . . . The new kitchen in the Christus Center is 95% complete. There are a couple of items we are still waiting on to be finished (such as a garbage disposal and some shelving). However, the kitchen is usable at this time provided people remember there is no garbage disposal. The kitchen in McGivney is another matter. The Fire Marshall will not approve the vent system over the stove. And, there’s a couple of other electrical issues that could easily be taken care of IF the subs would come out and do it. Until these items are finished, use of that kitchen is not practical or safe. So, we keep calling and waiting; but are definitely working on it. Leadership Summit . . . I want to thank the members of the Pastoral Council and Stewardship Committee for putting together a wonderful afternoon for the leadership of the parish. The leadership of every organization, ministry, committee, etc., was invited to meet together as a way for all who represent their ministry, organization, etc. to bring concerns to the floor as well as to seek solutions from the common leadership. It’s a shame that not all ministries sent people to the summit. Often, these are the same ministries that don’t follow policies and guidelines and create havoc for each other and the parish staff. As a community, we really do need common procedures and policies thinking of the common good and the welfare of the whole parish. This model of stewardship comes from the scriptures. And, in practicing good stewardship we should care for one another and the facilities we have. Just an example: If your ministry decides to cancel a meeting or gathering, please notify the office to take the event off the schedule. We then will cancel the set up and take down as well as save on electricity by not cooling/ heating the space. It seems so simple; but this happens all the time. If the head of a ministry is notifying the members of the cancelation – it’s just one more email or phone call to the office. Good leadership is tantamount to good stewardship. Recycle Dumpsters . . . We began to recycle paper several years ago. Over time, the company stopped paying us for the paper because it was no longer economically effective for the company. However, we continued as stewards of creation to keep recycling. More time passes, and people stopped reading the signs on the dumpsters and filled the dumpsters with products that are not accepted by the recycling company. When the containers were full, people just piled everything on the ground; mix that with rain and wind and now we are cleaning our whole parking lot and Cypresswood Drive. The issue of our parking lot “eye sore” came before Pastoral Council and I accepted the recommendation that we remove the bins from campus. What started out as something that brought money to the parish (which went to Outreach Ministries) became something that was costing us. The office is still committed to recycling as a way of good stewardship. Stewards of Creation . . . We are asking all ministries to please consider not using Styrofoam cups and plates. Styrofoam does not decompose in the environment under normal circumstances. Much like plastic, Styrofoam is made from a polystyrene-based petroleum product that is not biodegradable. Plastic takes hundreds of years to decompose, and Styrofoam takes much longer because it is a stronger form of plastic. It’s a small step forward, but one that can easily be accomplished to help the earth. With my prayers for a complete renewal,

We remember ORDINARY TIME I can see clearly now that they lived, searched for God, failed, and succeeded just as Certain events leave us with the sensation of scales falling we do today, and maybe they had to do dorky things in school, from our eyes.

Or TODAY'S READINGS: Ephesians 6:1-9; Luke 13:22-30 maybe it’s just life happening to us in all of its raw power—in (481). “Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I tell birth, loss, love, or pain—that promotes a clearer value of you, will attempt to enter but will not be strong what’s really important.

The gospels say to see Jesus in one another. In other Mark 10:46-52 (149). “Immediately [Bartimaeus] received his words, we are more like God than we might think. We can see sight and followed him on the way.” God, not completely, but a lot, in human beings. That’s what Monday, Oct 29, 2018 Let go and let God saints, whom the church celebrates today, do: They show us The novelist Henry James wrote: “Three things in human life how to be close to God, how to be holy. They help us to see are important: the first is to be kind; the second is to be kind; how God is like us and we are like God—and call us to be and the third is to be kind.” It is not always simple or even more like God, as they were. Answer that call. Imitate the possible, though, to know how to be kind to others. In the saints. You can be one, too! tricky and complex situations you occasionally find yourself, TODAY'S READINGS: Revelation 7:2-4, 9-14; 1 John 3:1-3; the “high road” is not always clear: “Would this person Matthew 5:1-12a (667). “What we do know is this: When God appreciate an explanation, or would that just make them is revealed, we will be like him, for we will see him as he is.” angrier?” “Should I back off or continue to engage?” Asking Friday, Nov 02, 2018 COMMEMORATION OF ALL yourself what you would like in a similar situation isn’t always THE FAITHFUL DEPARTED (ALL SOULS’ DAY) helpful either; that question only helps you to know yourself Grace will bring you home better!

The hour of our death is critical because another as God has forgiven you in Christ.” it’s the last moment over which we exercise our will.

PARISHPARISH WIDE WIDE EVENT EVENT HI HIGHLIGHTGHLIGHT Guatemala School Mission Keeping the Dream Alive Living Our Mission as a “People for Others” The Guatemala School Mission Committee will again hold our annual fundraiser in support of Our Lady of Guadalupe School in Chiche’ Guatemala the weekend of November 10-11. Joining us again will be the pastor of the “Little School,” Father Juan Antonio, accompanied by the Principal of the school, Juana Macario. They will be visiting from November 6 through November 12 to assist our parish in raising funds for teacher salary support, which now stands at $70,000 per year for Pre-K through 6th grades. While on mission visiting the school last summer, we learned that the government demanded that the teachers be paid minimum salaries totaling $70,000 per year or pay a large fine or close the school. With the support of Father Norbert, we chose to fund the shortfall and increase the commitment to the teachers’ salaries in order to continue this mission and relationship that has existed since the school opened in 2001. From that beginning until today, 3,762 boys and girls ages 4-13 have attended the school, with 422 having graduated sixth grade as a direct result of the continued support of St. Ignatius and its parishioners. Two former students were teachers, and four former students are currently teaching at the school. We faced an enormous challenge last year resulting from Hurricane Harvey. The Little School stood beside us with prayers, including a 30-minute live Facebook prayer service. May you find it in your heart to continue your prayers for the school this year, and may God Bless you for your continued financial support.

COLUMNA PASTORAL Queridos hermanos y hermanas: Esta columna será algo así como una sinopsis de todas las cosas que están sucediendo a nuestro alrededor y en nuestra vida parroquial. Pero pensé que podrían encontrar algunas de ellas interesantes. Festival de Otoño …. Los números están siendo trabajados y procesados. Todavía estamos esperando que se reali- cen algunas facturas y reembolsos. Sin embargo, me han dicho que los resultados del festival son realmente buenos, y hemos superado cantidades anteriores en varias áreas. El informe completo podría estar disponible en un par de semanas. Mientras esperamos esos resultados, una vez más quiero agradecerles a todos por hacer de este festival un gran éxito. Es casi imposible calcular la cantidad de horas que dedican las personas a este festival tan exitoso. Así que, gracias de nuevo. Las Cocinas … La nueva cocina en el Centro Christus está completa en un 95%. Hay un par de artículos que aún estamos esperando para terminar (como un triturador de basura y algunas estanterías). Sin embargo, la cocina es utilizable en este momento siempre y cuando las personas recuerden que no hay eliminación de basura. La cocina en McGivney es otro asunto. El Jefe de Bomberos no aprobará el sistema de ventilación sobre la estufa. Y, hay un par de otros problemas eléctricos que podrían solucionarse fácilmente si los subcontratistas se hicieran presente y terminaran el trabajo. Hasta que estos artículos estén terminados, el uso de esa cocina no es práctico ni seguro. Entonces, seguimos llamando y esperando; pero definitivamen- te están trabajando en ello. Cumbre de Liderazgo. . . Quiero agradecer a los miembros del Consejo Pastoral y al Comité de La Corresponsabi- lidad por organizar una tarde maravillosa para el liderazgo de la parroquia. Se invitó al liderazgo de todas las organizaciones, ministerios, comités, etc., a reunirse para que de esta manera todos los que representan a su ministerio, organización, etc. pue- dan expresar sus inquietudes y buscar soluciones del liderazgo común. Es una pena que no todos los ministerios hayan enviado personas a la cumbre. A menudo, estos son los mismos ministerios que no siguen las reglas y pautas y crean estragos entre sí y con el personal de la parroquia. Como comunidad, realmente necesitamos procedimientos y reglas comunes que tomen en cuenta el bien común y el bienestar de toda la parroquia. Este modelo de Corresponsabilidad viene de las Escrituras. Y, al prac- ticar una buena Corresponsabilidad, debemos cuidarnos los unos a los otros y las instalaciones que tenemos. Solo un ejemplo: si su ministerio decide cancelar una reunión o asamblea, por favor notifíquenle a la oficina para que el evento quede fuera del horario establecido. Luego cancelaremos la configuración y desmontaremos, así ahorraremos electricidad al no enfriar / calentar el espacio. Parece tan simple; pero esto sucede todo el tiempo. Si el jefe de un ministerio está notificando a los miembros de la cancelación, es solo un correo electrónico adicional o una llamada telefónica a la oficina lo que necesita hacerse. Un buen liderazgo es equivalente a una buena corresponsabilidad. Reciclar los basureros. . . Empezamos a reciclar papel hace varios años. Con el tiempo, la compañía dejó de pagar- nos por el papel porque ya no era económicamente efectivo para la compañía. Sin embargo, nosotros continuamos reciclando como buenos administradores de la creación. Pasa más tiempo, y la gente dejó de leer las señales en los contenedores y llenaron los contenedores con productos que no son aceptados por la empresa de reciclaje. Cuando los contenedores estaban llenos, la gente simplemente colocaba todo en el suelo; Combine eso con lluvia y viento y ahora estamos limpiando todo nuestro estacionamiento y Cypresswood Drive. El tema de nuestro estacionamiento "dolor a los ojos" se presentó ante el Consejo Pastoral y acepté la recomendación de que retiremos los contenedores del campus. Lo que comenzó como algo que trajo dinero a la parroquia (que ayudaba a los diferentes Ministerios de Alcance-Outreach) se convirtió en algo que nos estaba costando. La oficina todavía está comprometida con el reciclaje como una forma de buena administración. Administradores de la Creación. . . Estamos pidiendo a todos los ministerios que por favor consideren no usar va- sos y platos de espuma de poliestireno. La espuma de poliestireno no se descompone en el medio ambiente en circunstancias normales. Al igual que el plástico, la espuma de poliestireno está hecha de un producto de petróleo a base de poliestireno que no es biodegradable. El plástico tarda cientos de años en descomponerse, y la espuma de poliestireno tarda mucho más tiempo porque es una forma más fuerte de plástico. Es un pequeño paso hacia adelante, pero que puede lograrse fácilmente para ayudar a la Tierra. Con mis oraciones por una renovación completa, EVENTOS Oración Durante la temporada de Huracanes Oh Dios, Maestro de este mundo pasajero, escucha las humildes voces de tus hijos. El Mar de Galilea obedeció tu orden y regresó a su antigua quietud; todavía tu eres el Maestro de la tierra y el mar. Vivimos a la sombra de un peligro sobre el cual no tenemos control. El Golfo, como un gigante provocado y enojado, puede despertar de su aparente letargo, traspasar sus límites convencionales, invadir nuestra tierra y diseminar el caos y el desastre. Durante esta temporada de huracanes, nos volvemos hacia Ti, Oh amado Padre. Líbranos de las tragedias pasadas cuyos recuerdos aún son tan vívidos y cuyas heridas parecen negarse a sanar con el paso del tiempo. Oh Virgen, Estrella del Mar, Nuestra querida Madre, te pedimos que supli- ques a tu Hijo en nuestro favor, para que, evitando las calamidades comunes en esta área y movidos con un verdadero espí- ritu de gratitud, sigamos los pasos de tu Divino Hijo para alcanzar la Jerusalén celestial donde nos espera una eternidad sin tormentas. Amén.
