Faithful Citizenship “What is the Sacrament of Reconciliation?

The Sacrament of Reconciliation contains three elements: conversion, confession, and celebration. It is this sacrament that changes us, challenges us, and equips us as disciples of our Lord Jesus Christ to reach out to others and to transform the world. This sacrament brings us into intimate contact with Jesus, where we are liberated from the sins that trouble our hearts and minds and experience God's unconditional forgiveness and mercy so that we can be a living fountain of forgiveness and mercy to others.” Julianne Stanz, Director of New Evangelization, Diocese of Green Bay, The New Evangelization begins in the Confessional. www.usccb.org (From Diocesan Social Justice Commission www.rapidcitydiocese.org/WP/offices/social-justice-commission)

== The “Z” Gram == --- Notes From Father Bill --

Many people helped out with the two recent funerals that the parish had as well as the Halloween party. These events are another example of the parish doing great things for other people. Another example is the arrival of our new Parish Pictorial Directory. Lynn Loomer and her assistants did a great service to our parishes. Sharon Karp coordinated the activities for the parish in New Underwood, our sister parish. If you had your picture taken for the new directory, please receive the directory from the office. November 1, this year, is not a Holy Day of obligation. Therefore, we will have the usual weekend schedule of Masses.

HELP NEEDED! IT’S AMAZING WHAT LITTLE THINGS CAN BRING

BIG RESULTS! For just a little time and effort, once a month after

mass, you can be such a big benefit to our parish and the community by helping sell gift cards for the We Care program. No salesmanship needed… these little cards will sell themselves, but we need people

like you to make them available to our parishioners. There’s really not much more to it than that. Just give me a call, text or leave a message at 430-0459. You can even e-mail me at ylw_flowers65@hotmail.com.

I’ll be happy to get you started.--Melanie Karp

THE WEEKLY FUNNY…from Father Bill

A famous art collector is walking through the city when he notices a mangy cat lapping milk from a saucer in the doorway of a store and he does a double take. He recognizes that the saucer is extremely old and very valuable, so he walks casually into the store and offers to buy the cat for two dollars. The storeowner replies "I'm sorry, but the cat isn't for sale. The collector says, "Please, I need a hungry cat around the house to catch mice. I'll pay you twenty dollars for that cat." And the owner says "Sold," and hands over the cat. The collector continues, "Hey, for the twenty bucks I wonder if you could throw in that old saucer. The cat's used to it and it'll save me from having to get a dish." And the owner says, "Sorry buddy, but that's my lucky saucer. So far this week I've sold sixty-eight cats."

ANOTHER WEEKLY FUNNY…from Father Bill

A woman was arrested for shop lifting. When she went before the judge he asked her, “What did you steal?” She replied: “A can of peaches.” The judge asked her why she had stolen them and she replied that she was hungry. The judge then asked her how many peaches were in the can. She replied 5. The judge then said, “I will give you 5 days in jail.” Before the judge could actually pronounce the punishment the woman’s husband spoke up and asked the judge if he could say something. The judge said, “What is it?” The husband said, “She also stole a can of peas.”

perfume, some of us can have severe reactions to artificially scented products. Perfumes can cause sniffling, dizziness, headaches, nausea and breathing problems. Some reactions, like shortness of breath, are particularly severe for people with other respiratory conditions such as asthma, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Please thoughtfully consider using products with only lighter scents or no scent when you attend mass.
