The first reading from Ecclesiastes, reminds us that the greedy acquisition of goods and the selfish hoarding of them are useless. In the Responsorial Psalm (Ps 90), the Psalmist challenges us to listen to God and allow Him to soften our hearts that we may share our blessings with others. In the second reading, Paul directs our attention to lasting Heavenly treasures and advises, "Put to death, your parts that are earthly: immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and the greed that is idolatry”(Colossians 3: 5).
In today’s Gospel, Jesus tells the parable of the foolish rich man. He warns us against all types of greed, because greed takes our life’s focus away from God and away from serving and loving Him in other people.
We are invited to share our blessings with others. We must be generous in sharing our time, our treasure, and our talents in Christian stewardship. Even if we may be poor financially, we may be blessed with intelligence, good will, the ability to console, encourage, inspire and support and help others. God expects us to give our thanks to Him for all these blessings by sharing them with others for His glory. Let us ask generous God to help us to over come the temptation of greed if we have it in any form.
Fr. Mariadas Chatla

Parish News & Events
Youth Ministry Steering Committee forming Are you interested in helping the children of our parishes? Are you wanting to help out in some small or large way but don’t know where you’re needed? Join the new Youth Ministry Steering Committee! We are looking for parishioners who would like to invest in the future of our Church, School and our families.
Some ideas that came out of our first meeting are:
1) We need to do something for 3rd-‐5th graders-‐ not quite old enough for youth group, but we need to get them involved before its too late. 2) Girls Night In-‐ lock-‐in type event where young girls 3rd-‐8th can talk about issues/learn how to be a young lady of faith 3) 5th Quarter event after home football game-‐ music, open gym/dance, food-‐ to give kids a place for clean fun (6th-‐12th grades) 4) take kids to visit seminaries/convents 5) bring back Family Fun Nights fall pumpkin decorating & wiener roast 6) create Advent/Christmas/Lent/Easter family & kid activities that will bring the meaning of the season to life-‐ prepared in a lesson that can easily be done at each parish.
