This month is always a month where we remember those who have died. We had Mass and lit candles to remember those who died this past year. We tend to remember and grieve more intensely at this time of year because these are the times we gather as family and really feel our loss more intensely. This month we are also trying to ask the question, “How we can help those in need?” I feel very strongly about this because our faith and God’s word call us to look to help those in need and realize it is not an option, but an obligation to share the gifts God has given us. We will work hard the weekend before Thanksgiving to pack the food baskets with the Knights of Columbus to help all of McHenry together with the four local Catholic parishes. The weekend of November 20—22, we will also be working with as many churches as possible to pack bags of food to send mostly to Haiti, to keep more children from dying of starvation. It is a great way to prepare for Thanksgiving by first helping those who will not be able to feast as well as many of us that day. Please allow yourself to make these opportunities a priority. Have a Blessed Week! Fr. Paul WE OFFER OUR PRAYERS FOR: All the homeless, the unemployed, the military, the addicted, the grieving, the imprisoned, and the physically and emotionally ill.

El papa Francisco convoca un Jubileo en el 50º aniversario de la clausura del Vaticano II. El papa Francisco ha anunciado la celebración de un Jubileo de la Misericordia, que comenzará con la apertura de la Puerta Santa de la basílica de San Pedro el próximo 8 de diciembre, solemnidad de la Inmaculada Concepción, y concluirá el 20 de noviembre de 2016. Este es el tiempo de la misericordia. Hay tanta necesidad hoy de misericordia, que es importante que los fieles laicos la vivan y la lleven a los diversos ambientes sociales, afirmó Francisco. Pero ¿qué es un Jubileo? ¿Qué importancia tiene? ¿Para qué se convoca? Las claves para conocer a fondo el Año Santo de la Misericordia. ¿Cuándo ha anunciado el papa Francisco este Año Santo de la Misericordia? Francisco realizó el anuncio en el segundo aniversario de su elección como Pontífice el pasado viernes 13 de marzo, durante la homilía que dio inicio a las 24 horas para el Señor, una propuesta celebrada en todo el mundo para promover la apertura extraordinaria de las iglesias y favorecer la celebración del sacramento de la Reconciliación. ¿Con qué motivo? Con el Jubileo de la Misericordia, Francisco quiere poner en el centro de la atención al Dios misericordioso que invita a todos a volver hacia Él. El encuentro con Dios inspira la virtud de la misericordia. La apertura del próximo Jubileo adquiere un significado especial ya que tendrá lugar en el 50º aniversario de la clausura del Concilio Vaticano II (1965), un impulso para que la Iglesia continúe la obra iniciada con el Vaticano II. ¿Qué es un Año Santo? Consiste en un perdón general, una indulgencia abierta a todos, para renovar la relación con Dios y con el prójimo. De este modo, los jubileos son siempre una oportunidad para profundizar la fe y vivir con un compromiso renovado el testimonio cristiano. ¿Qué significa la expresión “Año Santo”? ¿Es lo mismo que un “Jubileo”? Para los hebreos el jubileo era un año declarado santo, que ocurría cada 50 años, y durante el cual se debía restituir la igualdad a todos los hijos de Israel, ofreciendo nuevas posibilidades a las familias que habían perdido sus propiedades e incluso la libertad personal. A los ricos, el año jubilar les recordaba que los esclavos israelitas podrían reivindicar sus derechos. La Iglesia católica retomó la tradición del Año Santo con el papa Bonifacio VIII, en el año 1300. Este Pontífice previó la realización de un jubileo cada siglo, para permitir a cada generación vivir al menos un Año Santo. Desde el año 1475, el jubileo ordinario comenzó a espaciarse al ritmo de cada 25 años. Un jubileo extraordinario, en cambio, se proclama con ocasión de un acontecimiento de particular importancia; como en este caso el proclamado por el papa Francisco por la misericordia. Se iniciará en 2015 con la apertura de la Puerta Santa en la Basílica Vaticna durante la solemnidad de la inmaculada Concepción (8 de diciembre) y concluye el 20 de noviembre de 2016 con la solemnidad de Jesucristo Rey del Universo. Unos días antes, el 29 de noviembre, durante su viaje a República Centroafricana, Francisco abrirá la Puerta Santa de la catedral de Bangui, dando así el pistoletazo de salida al jubileo en África.

SVDPS Helps Fill Income Gaps Many of us are lucky enough to have paid time off or 'sick days' through our employers. For those who do not enjoy this benefit, even a few days off from work can have a devastating financial affect. A single young woman recently missed several days of work due to a hand injury. The resulting decrease in her paycheck left her unable to meet her rent payment or to buy groceries. Vincentians provided food, a pledge toward part of her rent and a referral to the township for additional rent assistance. Your prayerful support and donations enabled this young lady to meet her obligations and to continue to live with dignity in our community. Whoever has a bountiful eye will be blessed, for he shares his bread with the poor. Proverbs 22:9
