Dear Friends, This is an interesting time of the year. For some, they begin preparing for Christmas as soon as Halloween is over, and without a doubt, there are people already putting up Christmas decorations. Some people lament this and complain that Thanksgiving is often forgotten and ignored. I will admit that my biggest lament about the early Christmas preparations is that for many people the Christmas season ends on December 26 when in actuality it is just beginning. By the Church's calendar, the Christmas season extends well into January. We sing “The 12 Days of Christmas,” and those 12 days begin on Christmas and run through the Feast of the Epiphany—January 6. Enough of my rambling and ranting. As much as people complain about the rush past Thanks giving, I think most people appreciate and enjoy Thanksgiving. It's an opportunity to get together with family and friends, to enjoy a meal with those we love, and for some, it's an opportunity to watch some football. Growing up in Toledo, my family and I didn't visit my dad's side of the family here in Mansfield much for holidays because my mom's side of the family lived in the Toledo area, because driving two hours one way with four young kids can drive anyone crazy, and because my parents often had to work the day after a holiday. Thanksgiving, however, was different. This was the holiday we visited family here in this area. I won't have to drive too far for Thanksgiving this year. Even though Thanksgiving isn't a Catholic holy day, it certainly contains Christian overtones. I think all of us know that we should give thanks to God for what He has given and provided for us, which is everything: our health, our family, our homes, our jobs, the people in our lives, everything. Perhaps this helps us see how dependent upon God we really are and hopefully causes us to reach out to Him in our need instead of trying to be radically self-reliant. Additionally, I am a firm believer that intentionally thanking God and showing Him our gratitude is a tremendous antidote to jealousy. If we step back and realize how much God has provided for us, we tend to realize how blessed and fortunate we are. Lastly, the word Eucharist comes from the ancient Greek meaning “thanksgiving.” When we gather for Mass, for the celebration of the Eucharist on Sundays, we are gathering together to give thanks together to God for what He has done for us in Christ Jesus: saving us from sin and death and offering us life eternal with Him. May we remember to give thanks every Sunday for God's goodness to us and for Christ's death and resurrection. We will have Mass on Thanksgiving at Resurrection at 9am. I hope to see you there. In Christ, Fr. Matt

We are seeking any gently used purses or handbags you may not use any longer for a pre-owned purse sale during the event. If you have any purses or handbags you no longer use and would like to donate they can be dropped off in the church of-fice. Thank you for helping make this event a success!

SCHOOL NEWS We are excited to welcome our Senior Citizens

for the November luncheon on Tuesday, November 26 at 12:15 pm. This is our annual OSU-Michigan celebration, so be sure to wear your scarlet & grey! The menu will be hot ham & cheese sandwich, green beans, applesauce, and cake. Please call 419.589.2114 to RSVP.

This past week our third and fourth grade students visited their Adopted Grandparents. Midterms were also sent home to our school families. We continue to be very proud of the hard work and effort of our students!

Are you ready for Advent? Each Monday, our school meets for a brief prayer service in the gym. It is a wonderful opportunity for our school to prepare ourselves for the best gift of all!

Our students recently received their secret Kris Kringle buddy. Each week, our students will make a card for their secret person and exchange a small gift before Christmas break. This is a most loved tradition at St. Mary School!

Have a blessed week!

SISTERS OF NOTRE DAME RETREAT

Before the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, the Sisters of Notre Dame invite women ages 20 - 45 to step away for prayer and reflection at a FREE retreat! Our Come & Be weekend is a chance to learn about the life, spirituality and mission of the Sisters of Notre Dame, while taking time for personal prayer and rest. The retreat is being held in Chardon, OH from December 6 - 8, 2019. Please contact Sister Jenny Zimmerman, SND at vocations@snd1.org for more information!

LOVE TREE The Love Tree is in the back of church, by our Blessed Mother’s picture. Please take a tag and help a needy person have a special Christmas. Take a tag, purchase the item, wrap it and most importantly, attach the tag to the gift, then put it by the tree. Thank you for your generosity!

LITTLE BLUE BOOKS The Little Blue Books for Advent and the Christmas sea-son are available on the usher’s tables. Thank you to the St. Mary’s Altar Rosary Society for providing these books that can be carried with you for inspiration throughout the season!
