PARACHUTE PACKERS
C
harles Plumb was a U. S. Navy jet pilot in Vietnam. He flew seventyfive combat missions before his plane was destroyed by a surfaceto-air missile. Plumb safely ejected and parachuted into enemy territory. He
was captured and spent six years in a Communist prison before his release and
return to the United States. One day, when Plumb and his wife were having a
meal in a restaurant, a man came up to their table and said, “You’re Plumb!
You flew jet fighters in Vietnam from the aircraft carrier Kitty Hawk. You were
Charles Plumb
shot down!” “How in the world did you know that?” asked Plumb. “I packed
your parachute,” the man replied. Plumb gasped in surprise and gratitude. The man pumped his
hand and said, “I guess it worked!” Plumb assured him, “It sure did. If your chute hadn’t worked,
I wouldn’t be here today.” Plumb couldn’t sleep that night, thinking about that man. “I kept
wondering how many times I might have seen him and not even said ‘Good morning, how are you?’
because I was a fighter pilot and he was just a sailor.” Plumb thought of the countless hours the man
had spent below decks standing at a long table, carefully weaving the shrouds and folding the silks of
each parachute, holding in his hands the fate of someone he didn’t know.
So, who’s packing your parachute? Like Charles Plumb, everyone has someone who provides
what they need to make it through the day: a physical parachute, mental parachute, emotional
parachute, or spiritual parachute. Let us remember to say hello, please, or thank you, to
congratulate someone on something wonderful that has happened to them, give a compliment, or
just do something good in return.

parishioners whose grateful lives are
helping to build a dynamic Catholic
community right here at OLF.
Offertory commitment cards will be
mailed to parish households this coming week. Please begin now to
prayerfully consider how you will
faithfully share your gifts so our parish may continue to be a visible sign

From our Pastor, Fr. Jack Sewell
“Since you have
accepted Christ Jesus
as Lord, live in
union with him.
Keep your roots deep
in him, build your
lives on him, and
become ever stronger
in your faith, as you
were taught.”
(Colossians 2:6)
T
he image of vines, trees, and seeds are powerful images of the Kingdom of God that Jesus used
throughout his ministry. St. Paul would naturally
continue to emphasize this rich symbolism, using in
this passage the idea of roots. While not many of us
are farmers, and perhaps not much experience as
gardeners, we can still appreciate the important of
having deep roots. It provides the nourishment
that the tree needs to grow. Roots are the foundation of the tree, so much so that
trees can grow to hundreds of
feet in height and tens of feet in width and yet be stable and secure because of their root system. This is
precisely the point that Paul makes. We build our lives
on the foundation of Christ. We are strengthened in
our service to God and to our brothers and sisters
through the power of faith.
All this takes place because we have accepted Jesus. We have
heard him call us by name to walk in his light. We have responded as disciples in faith. The words of Scripture that we hear at every Mass continue to teach us as Jesus taught his disciples. His listeners repeated his
stories, memorized his teachings, and passed on the images of what he
did. These stories and memories were written down so that every generation could experience what the first generation saw face to face—the revelation of God’s grace in Jesus. Now we are called to live in union with
him. From the Beatitudes to the Great Commission, we pattern our lives
on the life of the Son of God. May we grow ever stronger in faith at Our
Lady of Fatima Parish in discipleship and mission.
K of C Pancake Breakfast
Next Sunday, November 14, the Knights of Columbus are holding their
FABULOUS Pancake Breakfast, featuring pancakes, fruit topping, scrambled
eggs, sausages, yogurt and beverages.
This is probably the LAST Pancake Breakfast in our current hall! Come to the
Parish Hall after the 7 a.m. and 9 a.m. Masses, before the 11 a.m. Mass for
food, friendship, and fraternity.

THE BUILDING BLOCK
CONSTRUCTION UPDATE
GENERAL CONTRACTORS ABOUND!
For the last two weeks the seven general contractors who are bidding on our new
hall have been visiting OLF with numerous subcontractors to evaluate the scope of
work. They continue to take measurements, and to assess the site for everything
from soil to slope to car and pedestrian traffic throughout a normal day. All of these
aspects, along with many more particular issues, are a part of their determination for
the two major parts of their bid: cost and time. The cost analysis that we did in
2008 came in at $7.1 million. The cost analysis that was completed in April, 2010
came in at $5.2 million. The construction time is 10-16 months. It is up to these
contractors to determine their actual cost and time line, present it to the Diocese and
to OLF, and then we will select the general contractor. We will meet at the Diocesan Construction Office on November 11th to open the bids and narrow the
field. Final selection will be made on November 16th. “Are you not aware that
you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?” (1 Corinthians 3:16). Lord, as we build new facilities, may they be places where we
grow as your temple of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Altar server training
Training for NEW altar servers
will take place in the church
THIS Saturday, November 13th
from 9:30 a.m. – 10:30 a.m. This
important role is open to those
who have received First Eucharist and are in 4th grade or
above. Applications will be
available at the training session
or you can request one by e-mail
by contacting Chris or Lilta
Shultz at [email protected] Comprehensive training including
handbooks will be provided. It
is recommended that a parent
and/or guardian attend with the
server(s).
Lector Position Open
If you have a voice to speak, a
love of God, and a willingness to
give of your talent to the community, do we have a deal for
you! We will be happy to train
you to use your voice to proclaim the Word at Mass. We
have recently lost some of our
lectors through sickness or relocation to some other lucky parish
and are in need of replacements.
We especially have immediate
need (you would start in January
next year) for lectors at the Sat.
& Sun. evening Masses.
TEENS: you can qualify as a
lector as long as you have received the sacrament of confirmation, or are in the confirmation program with Patti Lynn. Be
happy to answer your questions
about becoming a lector at OLF,
just call Ray Lynn at 369-6525
any time.

"FAQ: Fatima Asks Questions"
Q: My son attended Monday’s Faith Forum, then
came home and said “Mom, at church they said
that I can form my conscience and decide for myself what’s right and wrong.” Is this what he was
told, really?
A: (Disclaimer: Sometimes these questions are fabricated, in
the hope that the answer will be of interest to readers. This is
one of those times.)
You can read about Conscience Formation in the
Catechism of the Catholic Church, starting with paragraph 1776. This is a rigorous and beautiful pursuit
that allows not so much “deciding for oneself” as entering into a deeper sense of the will of God and then
willingly living our life according to the teachings of
Christ and the Church.
The formation of an adult conscience requires several
steps and components. These include at least a nominal understanding of the Bible’s input on the subject
under discernment, a consultation on the Church’s
teaching (the Catechism is a good source for this; there
are others), and more. The Catechism lists five additional components of this process: Experience, Signs
of the Times, the Virtue of Prudence, the Advice of
Competent People, and the Help of the Holy Spirit
(prayer).
Teens do not have the capacity, regardless of their
other intelligence, maturity, or other talents, to accomplish the task of conscience formation on their own.
The Advice of Competent People is the key, for teens.
In this context, “competent people” does NOT mean
other teens. It means parents, priest, trusted adult
friend, etc. It might even mean the author of this answer, who offers this advice to teens:
Teens, if you find that you are dealing with an issue of
conscience – deciding what is right or wrong – and you
are doing it alone, or with the help of other teens and
no one else …. You’re NOT doing conscience formation. Stop! Seek advice. In any real conscience formation experience, you will be able and willing to talk to
your parents or other trustworthy adult advisor in order to support you in this critical process. This is a
great opportunity to build your own confidence and
ability to make good decisions, as well as to build trust
with parents and other important adults in your life.
The Church is our community of faith. Within it, and
in prayer and reflection on the Word of God, we can
find great support for knowing and living a moral life
of happiness, fulfillment, and hope. Only by trusting
in God’s Word and the support of other people of
faith do we find this path in our life. Don’t miss out!
Counting the days…
Advent begins in just three weeks. With all the preparations for Thanksgiving Day, it’s easy for the season of Advent to
sneak up on us. Yet, this time of preparation is important. It’s a time for us to get ready to more fully celebrate God
who came to us as one of us and who continues to be present to us. Here are two ways your parish would like to help
you and your loved ones prepare for the birth of our Lord.
Advent Wreath Gathering & Blessing
On Sunday, November 28, we will light the first of four
candles on our parish Advent wreath. At 10am, parish
families are invited to assemble their own Advent wreaths
to take home and continue the celebration of the season. All materials including candle will be available here
at church. The gathering will conclude with a blessing of
the wreaths. This is for EVERYONE!! Families with
children, couples, singles etc. Six children are needed to
participate in the blessing ritual. Contact Caylin Wade at
[email protected] if you would like to volunteer.
Suggested wreath donation: $5
Prepare for Christmas in just six minutes a day
The "Little Blue Book" for the season of Advent will be
available for every parish household on the weekend of
November 27 & 28, the First Sunday of Advent. Offering
a brief daily prayer and reflection for each day of Advent,
this book is one in the very popular series of "Little
Books" from the Diocese of Saginaw, Michigan. It's simple, yet engaging, and will help you pray scripture and
learn more about Catholic traditions, practices, and customs. The book is yours to take and keep; if you'd like to
defray its cost, the suggested donation is $1 per copy.
Donations will not be collected separately. Kindly add it to your regular Sunday offering.

El Señor nos fortalece
Si pasas por un club de gimnasia temprano por la mañana, usualmente verás a un buen número de automóviles estacionados
afuera. Puede que veas más vehículos estacionados allí que en la parroquia para la misa de la mañana o la oración de la mañana. Cuando el apóstol Pablo habla hoy de que la palabra del Señor “se propague con rapidez” (2 Tesalonicenses 3:1) hace
una alusión a las carreras atléticas. Este tipo de referencia es una de las más frecuentes en sus cartas. En este mundo influenciado por la cultura griega, el gimnasio de la ciudad era el lugar para el atletismo, y también para la poesía, la filosofía
y las discusiones políticas. Era un lugar para el cuerpo, la mente y el espíritu
Todos los aspectos de nuestra vida deben ser guiados por la palabra del Señor. Podemos hacer ejercicio en el club atlético
para tener un cuerpo en forma, pero al final será el Señor quien nos fortalecerá. De igual manera, será la propia fortaleza del
Señor que debemos emplear en nuestra vocación de discípulos: para propagar la palabra del Señor, para que Cristo sea conocido y Dios glorificado por nuestro testimonio. San Pablo lo resume todo diciéndonos cómo será el corazón del discípulo: dirigido en todo momento hacia el amor de Dios, y esperando pacientemente a Cristo.

De nuestro Párroco, Padre Jack Sewell
“Por tanto, de la
manera que han
recibido al Señor
Jesucristo, anden en
él; arraigados y
sobreedificados en él,
y confirmados en la
fe, así como han
sido enseñados,
abundando en
acciones de gracias.”
(Col 2: 6)
L
as imágenes de viñedos, árboles y semillas, son
imágenes de gran impacto del Reino de Dios que
Jesús utilizó en su ministerio. San Pablo continuaría
naturalmente recalcando este rico simbolismo empleando en este pasaje la idea de las raíces como se lee en
la traducción de la Biblia en ingles. Quizás no muchos
sean granjeros y quizás tengamos poca experiencia
como jardineros, sin embargo podemos apreciar la
importancia de las raíces profundas. Estas proporcionan el alimento que el árbol necesita para crecer. Las
raíces son el cimiento del árbol, con un buen cimiento
los árboles pueden llegar a medir centenares de pies
de altura y hasta diez pies de ancho para crecer estables y
seguros. Todo, gracias a las raíces que tengan. Este es
exactamente el punto que Pablo comenta; nosotros
construimos nuestras vidas teniendo a Cristo como nuestro fundamento. Con esto, nos consolidamos en el servicio a Dios y a nuestros hermanos y hermanas con el poder de la fe.
Todo esto ocurre porque hemos aceptado a Jesús. Lo hemos
oído al llamarnos por nuestro nombre para caminar en su luz, por lo que
hemos respondido como discípulos en la fe. Las palabras de la Escritura que
oímos en cada Misa continúan enseñándonos de la misma manera que Jesús
enseñó a sus discípulos. Sus oyentes repitieron sus historias, memorizaban
sus enseñanzas y narraban las imágenes de lo que él lo hizo. Estas historias y
memorias fueron escritas de modo que cada generación pudiera experimentar lo que la primera generación vivió cara a cara; la revelación de la gracia
de Dios en Jesús. Ahora, nosotros somos llamados a vivir en unión con él.
Desde las bienaventuranzas al gran envió, nosotros modelamos nuestras vidas basados en la vida del Hijo del Dios. Ojala pues, que podamos crecer
más fuertes en la fe, como parte de la Parroquia de Nuestra Señora de Fátima, en el discipulado y en la misión.
Adoración al Santísimo
Se les hace una invitación a pasar una hora o el tiempo que puedan en adoración frente al Santísimo. Si desea tener un compromiso con el Señor o desea
mas información, favor de llamar a la oficina al 492-4101. Tenemos una parroquia muy bendecida, hay que aprovechar esta oportunidad de tener al
Santísimo expuesto para nuestras oraciones.

ACTUALIZACION DE LA CONSTRUCCION
¡LOS CONTRATISTAS GENERALES ABUNDAN!
Por las últimas dos semanas los siete contratistas generales que están haciendo ofertas para nuestro nuevo salón parroquial han estado visitando la parroquia con numerosos subcontratistas para evaluar el alcance del trabajo. Continúan
tomando medidas, y evaluando el sitio, desde la tierra a la pendiente, el tráfico de carros y cruce peatonal que ocurre a
lo largo de un día normal. Todos estos aspectos, junto con muchas más cuestiones específicas, son parte de su determinación para las dos partes principales de su oferta: el costo y el tiempo. El análisis de costos que hicimos en el 2008
fue de $ 7.1 millones. El análisis de costos que se completó en abril del 2010 fue de $ 5,2 millones. El tiempo de construcción es de 10 a 16 meses. Corresponde a los contratistas el determinar su costo y tiempo real, lo presentaran a la
Diócesis y a la parroquia, entonces seleccionaremos el contratista general. Nos reuniremos en la Oficina de Construcción Diocesana el 11 de noviembre para abrir las ofertas y reducir el campo. La selección final se hará el 16 de noviembre. "¿No sabes que tú eres el templo de Dios, y que el Espíritu de Dios mora en ti?" (1 Corintios 3:16).
Señor, al construir nuevas instalaciones, que sean colocadas en donde podamos crecer como tu templo del
Espíritu Santo. Amén.

¿QUIÉN EMPACA TU PARACAÍDAS?
C
harles Plumb fue piloto de la Marina de Guerra de los Estados
Unidos durante la guerra de Vietnam. Voló en setenta y cinco
misiones de combate antes de que su avión fuera destruido por un proyectil
desde la tierra. Plumb pudo lanzarse del avión en un paracaídas, pero cayó en
territorio enemigo y fue capturado. Pasó seis años en una prisión comunista
antes de que lo pusieran en libertad y regresara a los Estados Unidos. Un día,
cuando Plumb cenaba con su esposa en un restaurante, un hombre se acercó a
la mesa de ellos y le dijo: “¡Usted es Plumb! Usted participó en batallas aéreas
Charles Plumb
desde el portaviones Kitty Hawk. ¡Su avión fue derribado!” “¿Cómo es posible
que usted sepa eso?”, preguntó Plumb. “Yo fui el que empaqué su paracaídas”, replicó el hombre.
Casi ahogado de sorpresa, Plumb le extendió la mano con gratitud. El hombre estrechó la mano
extendida mientras decía: “¡Me imagino que funcionó correctamente!” Plumb le contestó: “Por
supuesto que funcionó o yo no estuviera aquí”. Plumb no pudo dormir esa noche pensando en el
hombre. Se preguntaba a sí mismo: “¿Cuántas veces lo habré visto sin siquiera darle los buenos días,
sólo porque yo era un piloto y él un simple marinero?”. Plumb imaginó las horas interminables que
este marinero se había pasado en las entrañas del barco y frente a una larga mesa enrollando los
hilos de seda de cada paracaídas, doblándolos y empacándolos cuidadosamente, y teniendo en sus
manos la vida de alguien que no conocía.
¿Quién empaca tu paracaídas? Al igual que Charles Plumb, todos dependemos de alguien en
nuestro acontecer diario, alguien que nos proporcione un paracaídas físico, mental, emocional o
espiritual. Que no se nos olvide saludar, dar las gracias, felicitar a alguien por algún acontecimiento
en su vida, halagar o evolver con una acción buena.
