I thank the Couples for Christ (CFC) for facilitating in the use of the parish hall so that more people can be accommodated during the Sunday morning Mass. Our special gratitude to Jason Lopez for lending us his gadgets and technical know-how so that the Mass may be streamed live to the hall. Thanks also to Paolo and Juan Gaviria for assisting me during the Christ the King procession. Even with the very short notice and little practice, they did a wonderful job. It feels it was not so long ago that Pope Francis inaugurated the Year of St. Joseph, but on December 8, we are already going to conclude it. We recall that since this holy year began, we have been reciting the prayer to St. Joseph towards the end of the Mass. I am strongly convinced that the pillar of families has been protecting our bigger family that is our parish especially during this time of pandemic. It is really providential that Pope Francis has declared the Year of St. Joseph. We thank the Holy Father for it. In preparation for the closing of the year, he is also starting a weekly catechesis on St. Joseph. Last Wednesday he called our attention to the fact that St. Joseph represents a central point in God’s plan of salvation, even though he appears discreet and apparently on the margins of the story and of society. “Joseph lives his agency without ever seeking to take over the scene,” the pope said. Everyone, he added, can find in St. Joseph—who often goes unnoticed or hidden—an intercessor and a guide in difficult moments. To end the Year of St. Joseph here in our parish, we will start a novena which will culminate with a consecration to the foster father of the Lord. The novena will begin on Monday. Since we don’t have a public celebration of the Mass on Mondays, I will be praying the novena in behalf of the community. Otherwise, the daily participants of the Mass will do it for all of us. There will be anointing of healing oil within the Mass on December 3 at 10 AM. Blessed medals of the Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal will be available as well. For more information on this devotion and on St. Catherine Laboure contact Shiela Campbell at 204-822-4670.

Today is the Solemnity of Christ, King of the Universe.
At catholicculture.org we read of the qualities of Christ's kingdom as described in today’s Mass. This kingdom is: (1) supreme, extending not only to all people but also to their princes and kings; (2) universal, extending to all nations and to all places; (3) eternal, for "The Lord shall sit a King forever"; (4) spiritual, Christ's "kingdom is not of this world."..........
Next Sunday is the 1st Sunday of Advent. It is the beginning of a new liturgical year, a new year for the Church so to speak. We may call this day as Resolve Sunday for in the opening prayer of the Mass (Collect), we ask God the “resolve to run forth to meet Christ with righteous deeds at his coming”. We are not just marking a start of a year, therefore, but above all the beginning of a renewed commitment to the faith as disciples of Christ........... During Advent we celebrate with joyful anticipation the feast of the Word becoming flesh in the womb of the Blessed Mother. However, such celebration is not just mere remembering. Above all, it is making the event incarnate in each of our lives. By prayer, penance and good works, we must make room in our lives so that we will be “pregnant” with the light of Christ and give birth to him in a darkened world that desperately needs Him.......... The Advent vigilant waiting we are called to do is more challenging than ever because of the restrictions. Not all of us can go to church, so mostly we must accept the challenge on our own. But, you see, from a certain perspective this is a good opportunity to internalize by ourselves our Christian discipleship without the usual support we are used to.......... Some of you are suggesting if we can check vaccination status in the church so that we can accommodate more people in the church. No, we cannot make such division in our Christian community. I am convinced Christ do not want that. So too does His Grace, our Archbishop. I encourage you to watch and reflect his recent video posted on the archdiocesan website titled “Covid-Related Measures & Seeing Christ in All”. “The keyword is: loving arrangement, with emphasis on the word ‘loving’.”

On Sunday, November 21, we will end the liturgical calendar with the Solemnity of Christ the King. This solemnity was established by Pope Pius XI in 1925 as an antidote to secularism, a way of life which leaves God out of man's thinking and living and organizes his life as if God did not exist. Therefore, it is more imperative than ever to give importance to this celebration. The solemnity on Sunday is intended to proclaim in a striking and effective manner Christ's royalty over individuals families, society, governments, and nations...........
On Sunday, at the end of the Mass, there will be a procession of the Blessed Sacrament inside the church.It will be followed by the Benediction..........
Do you know that this year is the 10th year since the community has been using the current church building? The first time the community celebrated Mass in the church was on November 19, 2011!
I thank Denis Magotiaux for reminding me of this very important historical detail of the parish...........To celebrate this anniversary, "I challenge the new members of the parish to find the cornerstone installed on one of the walls of our church building. ";-)
