Stewardship: Parishioner’s Answering God’s Call in Service Recently a small group of young women from Prince of Peace organized an outreach field trip to Mary’s House, a Catholic
worker house that provides emergency shelter for families in addi�on to community educa�on and support. �
They spent the morning weeding and pruning the grounds. �Please submit your stewardship story examples to [email protected]. �
They may be edited for space considera�on. �
Sock and Underwear Drive!�The Weekender Backpack Program provides food for the
weekend to needy students a#ending Simmons, Holy �
Family and Our Lady of Fa�ma Schools. This has been a �
win�win program, appreciated so much by the students, �
faculty and parents. Members of POP are making a �
difference for local families. O)en, the basic necessi�es �
are overlooked in these families. Therefore, we are �
collec�ng socks and underwear to deliver to these schools
over the winter. If you would like to par�cipate, most sizes
are acceptable (K � 8th grade, male and female students). �
Socks must be SOLID white or black with no logos �
(no stripes). Look for the bin labeled “Sock and Underwear
Drive” in the Gathering Space. Dona5ons will be accepted
from present thru December 14. Thank you for making a
difference in these young children’s lives. �
Weekender Backpack Program
Expanding! Thanks to your generous dona�ons, the Weekender Backpack
Program has been feeding 50 needy students at Simmons �
Middle School on the weekends. In addi�on, Prince of Peace
will soon be providing weekend food for students at Holy �
Family and Our Lady of Fa�ma Schools. If you would like to
volunteer to feed the hungry in this year of mercy, help is
needed packing food on the first Thursday of every month �
at 6:00 pm in the St. Jude Room. We are also in need of a �
Hospitality Coordinator to make phone calls reminding �
volunteers of their du5es. Please contact Marsha Hernandez,
502.794.4416, if you would like to help. �
Religious Education Children Need Quiet Time, Too!�
�
Personal Reflec5on can lead to Prayer�
Quiet, reflec�ve �me is an endangered species in our culture. For many families, every moment of life is filled with noise and
ac�vity, and “down �me” is seen as empty rather than rich and full.��
“The importance of quiet �me is something that our culture fails to respect,” says author Polly Berrien Berends. She sees an
overemphasis on compe��on and social interac�on that leads to children’s lives being over�scheduled. “We teach our children
to fear silence and solitude,” says Berends. We also distract them from becoming acquainted with the voice of God within them. ��
Berends says, “The child whose private, quiet �me is respected and protected benefits in many ways. She has a chance to �
develop her own individuality and sense of self, to follow her own crea�ve passions, to learn that she is good company (if for
herself, then also for others), to develop her imagina�on, and to discover deep inner resources for healing and inspira�on. Such
quiet �me is also very good prepara�on for prayer.”��
You can help your children to learn how to pray by teaching them tradi�onal prayers, by praying with them, by leLng them see
you pray, and by protec�ng their �mes of quiet. Silence is an acquired taste � especially if we’ve been on a steady diet of noise
and ac�vity. But once again, quiet �me will feed your child for a life�me. (Loyola Press)�
Upcoming Dates:�
November 13: Sunday School for all Grades�
November 20 & 27: No classes: Happy Thanksgiving! �

Casting Lots for the Seamless Garment (John 19:23-24) End the Epidemic
In the last 10 years, the United States has seen the number of heroin�related overdoses nearly quadruple. According to the
American Society of Addic�on Medicine, in 2014 more than 10,000 people died from heroin overdoses and more than 18,000
from prescrip�on opioids, together accoun�ng for nearly two�thirds of the accidental drug overdoses in the country. The �
greatest increases in the death rates have occurred in the Midwest and the Northeast, and in young adults ages 25 to 34. Four
out of five heroin users first became addicted to prescrip�on opioids before moving on to heroin, o)en because it is cheaper
and easier to obtain.�
Around the country, local and state governments, health care workers, law enforcement, families and faith communi�es are
struggling with how to end this epidemic of addic�on. Some strategies have proved effec�ve in countering addic�on. �
Physicians have begun issuing short�term prescrip�ons for opioids following medical procedures so that the drugs will last only
un�l a recovering pa�ent can visit a physician. Needle drop�off programs, more comprehensive prescrip�on monitoring �
programs to discourage individuals from reques�ng prescrip�ons from mul�ple doctors and increased numbers of and access
to treatment centers have also helped. Addi�onal evidence�based strategies also can benefit the wider community, including
the expansion of good Samaritan laws, so that drug users are not prosecuted when repor�ng an overdose, and increased �
access to drugs such as naloxone that counteract overdoses. These strategies recognize that drug abuse is a community issue
with community solu�ons. (America Magazine, October 31, 2016 issue)�

Best Advent Ever
What would it take for you to have your best Christmas ever?
We prepare for everything we consider important in life and that includes Christmas. We

ready to drop. Best Advent Ever is a free email program that will help you prepare for
Christmas in a different way.
Beginning the first Sunday of Advent (November 27) and continuing everyday until
December 26, you’ll receive short inspirational videos, practical tips, or free Christmas
music that will help you slow down during the busy Christmas season to focus on what’s
really important in life.

Catholicism: The Pivotal Players

life of the Church, but also changed the course of �
civiliza�on. From St. Francis of Assisi to St. Catherine of �
Siena, from St. Thomas Aquinas to Michelangelo, all the way
