FROM THE PASTOR’S DESK By Fr. Terry Kerner

I had a bit of a scare a week and a half ago at the end of our Parish Fi-

nance Council meeting when I experienced a “cardiac event” and was rushed to

Beaumont Oakwood. After what seemed like countless tests and endless exami-

nation, I experience the proverbial heart catherization. The cardiologist located

the problem-a severely obstructed artery. The necessary stent was implanted

allowing for proper blood flow. I feel better though encouraged by the doctors to

go a little easier for a week or two. Thank God Fr. Gary’s knee surgery has been

postponed and he is able to celebrate many of the liturgies. Please keep me in

your prayer as I hold you in mine.

This weekend we, of course, celebrate the Beatification of Fr. Casey-

Detroit’s hometown saint. Many parishioners have had firsthand experience with

Father Solanus from years ago. Others have stories of miracles and positive sto-

ries that they attribute to his intervention. It is good to share these stories with

family members and friends. In this age of cynicism and doubt, hearing testimo-

nies of minor miracles and prayers answered might be what evangelization is all

about. Let us celebrate the holiness in our midst, not just at Ford Field this

weekend, but in our homes and parishes everyday!

Have a good week and a Happy Thanksgiving.

PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING

O gracious Lord, we give you thanks for your

overflowing generosity to us.

Thank you for the blessings of the food we eat.

Thank you for our home, our family and

friends.

Thank you for our health, our work and our

play.

Please send hope to those who are hungry,

alone, sick, suffering war and violence.

Open our hearts to your love.

We ask your blessing through Christ you Son.

Amen.

PARISH NEWS

JPII GIFT AND BOOK SHOP NEWS By Pat Urban & Barb Cataldo

During the time of Thanksgiving, we would like to extend a special

thanks to our volunteers and customers. We view this work as a ministry that

provides sacramental and information to help us all grow in relationship to

God and others. We thank God for the opportunity to serve, learn and grow.

We invite you and your friends to visit the shop this Advent and Christ-

mas season for cards, gifts, books, and some friendly conversation. In addition

to our regular hours before and after Masses, we will be open on Tuesdays be-

tween 11:30AM-6:30 PM

Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

GUIDE BOOK AND DIRECTORY

We are in the process of updating our annual Guide Book & Directory

for the church. This book is being provided and direct-mailed to each family at

no cost to our church, and it is again being subsidized by local businesses that

advertise. If you own or manage a business and would like to find out about

advertising in our book, please call our Church Office.

Here is a chance to update YOUR record for our annual Guide Book.

Please let us know any changes, additions or deletions that may have oc-

curred in YOUR family over the past year. Have you changed your phone

number? Have you moved? Are you preparing to move soon? Are all of your

children still at home and are they included in your membership record? Do

you want your record published?

If you have not already informed us about changes to your record, please

let us know now so that the information in the Guide Book & Directory is cor-

rect. The Church Office number is 336.3227. Thank you for your help.

ADVENT WREATH LIGHTER NEEDED

If you as an individual, couple or family are interested in lighting the

candles for our parish Advent wreath, please complete the coupon below and

return it in the collection basket at church. We will call you to schedule a

weekend Mass for your participation in the time honored tradition. Lighting of

the Advent Wreath takes place at all weekend Masses, beginning Saturday,

December 3rd to Sunday, December 24th.

FAITH FORMATION

This weekend you will notice the presence of our Giving Trees in the

Sanctuary and in Resurrection Hall. A long honored tradition of our parish,

our Giving Tree has allowed parishioners to provide gifts and support to those

in need during the Christmas season. As in years past, we ill ask that parish-

ioners select a tag or two or an envelope from the tree and purchase the item

requested. Our recipients are Nativity of Our Lord Parish, Vista Maria and St.

Patrick’s Senior Center as well as for our parish Food Collection. Nativity of

Our Lord Parish, Vista Maria and St. Patrick’s Center has asked that items

not be wrapped this year, allowing for more of a shopping and wrapping event

for their recipients. All items must be returned to the parish by Sunday, De-

cember 17th. Food collection envelopes are for donations of checks, cash, and

gift cards ( Meijer’s or Kroger’s) and can be dropped in the collection basket or at the

parish office. If you are interested in helping to sort the items or deliver them, please

Monday, November 27th.

Wishing all of you the gift of Faith and the Blessings of Hope this Thanksgiving

Season!

HOLIDAY MAIL FOR HEROES

in the cards including glitter, confetti, gift cards, and such. Envelopes can be addressed

as one of the following: Military Man, Military Woman, Military Family, Military Civil-

ian Staff, or Veteran. Signed or unsigned cards can be dropped off at the parish center

men and women that are buried at St. Hedwig. For how to help please call Bob at

THE COIMNG OF ADVENT

As Advent arrives we begin a season of prayer and patient waiting. We look to the

birth of the light of the world with expectant preparation. With anticipation of a long

promised guest, we clean out the clutter in our hearts and minds. We step away from the

havoc of our lives, so that we can hear in the stillness the world’s prayer, “ O Come Lord

Jesus”.

Advent means preparing your heart. Once I am convinced that preparing the

heart is more important than preparing the Christmas tree, I will be a lot less frustrated

at the end of a day.
