Fr. Todds Stewardship Reflection As we continue to reflect on stewardship on All Souls Day, I would like to

thank our Bereavement Ministry, the Sunshine Ministry, and all the

numerous people who donate food for the

meals we serve after funerals! Thank you for

all the great work you do behind the scenes to

offer comfort to families mourning the loss of

loved ones.

May the souls of the faithful departed,

through the mercy of God, rest in peace.

Fr. Todd

Refelxin de Administracin

por el Padre Todd Hoy Domingo, en la conmemoracin de

Todos los Fieles Difuntos continuamos

reflexionando sobre nuestro servicio a la

Iglesia. Quisiera dar gracias a los ministros

que ayudan con los funerales, los ministros

que preparan la comida despus de los funerales y tambin a los hermanos

que donan la comida. Gracias por todas las obras buenas que hacen a

escondidas y sin mucho reconocimiento. Ustedes ofrecen una

hospitalidad a nuestras familias abatidas de tristeza por la prdida de un

ser querido.

Que las almas de los fieles difuntos, por la misericordia de Dios descansen

en paz.

St. Monica Parish

community advancing our faith by

making the Word of God come

alive through prayer,

liturgy, education,

evangelization, and stewardship.

Monica Church has an Immigrant

Helping The Lords

Pantry The Lord's Pantry depends on the non-

perishable foods we bring in each week

and put in the blue food bin in the

Narthex. The Pantry services around 100

clients each week, every Tuesday

morning from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM at

St. Martin de Porres Mass &

Pitch-In St. Martin was a Dominican lay brother

who lived in Peru from 1579-1639. He

was the son of a Spanish nobleman and a

freed Panamanian slave woman of

African descent. St. Martin spent most of

his life humbly serving the sick, the

enslaved and the poor.

On Monday, November 3, St. Anthony

Parish, located at 337 N Warman Ave., is

celebrating the feast day of St. Martin de

Porres at 7:00 PM with a Mass presided

over by Archbishop Tobin. Following the

Mass there will be a pitch-in dinner;

everyone is asked to bring a dish from

your native country to share. For more

information, contact the Archdiocese at

317-236-1474.

November 8-9 is Intention Weekend for the United

Catholic Appeal The Archdiocese goal of $5.7 million is critical to support Catholic education, faith

formation, and vocations in central and southern Indiana. St. Monicas goal for the

appeal is $202,268. Registered parishioners should have received a mailing from the

Archdiocese of Indianapolis regarding the 2014 United Catholic Appeal. Please

prayerfully consider your gift to the United Catholic Appeal so we can continue to build

up the kingdom of God throughout the Archdiocese. Please bring your intention card

and envelope to Mass next weekend.

Craine House Holiday Wish List Our Neighbors at Craine House have a Holiday Wish List. They would like to give gift

bags to every woman in residence and they have a growing need for food for daily

meals. Please donate as generously as you are able. The collection of items from this

Holiday Wish List will be in the Narthex on the weekend of November 29 & 30. You

may also donate at the Advent Sunday Supper on November 30. The Wish List is in

this Bulletin, online and in the Narthex.

About Craine House: Craine House is a not-for-profit agency, a work-release

correctional facility for nonviolent female offenders and their preschool-aged children.

Craine House is truly a Work of Mercy on behalf of women who have lost their way,

committed a crime, and need to rebuild their lives. While living with their

preschool-aged children and meeting regularly with older children, the women

completing their court-ordered sentence at Craine House must find work, finish their

high school education, and participate in counseling and parenting classes. They have to

use public transportation and find their own child care. The program is highly structured

with little free time for the women: it is extremely monitored and strict (like any

correctional facility) as the women learn to turn their lives around. The best part of

Craine House is the proven effectiveness: women really are able to make a new life,

become good mothers, and end generations of poverty, abuse, and addiction. Ongoing

financial support is one very important need. Food has become another big need: since

moving across the street from St. Monica, Craine House expanded capacity from nine to

forty women and their children and the sources of food have not kept pace. There are

some limited volunteer opportunities including making deliveries, tutoring, childcare,

and mentoring. Visit www.crainehouse.org or call Anne Corcoran at 253-2193,ext. 5 for

more information.

Holiday Wish List Craine House depends on the generosity of our community to meet the needs of the

women and children we serve. This year, we would like to put together one holiday gift

bag for each of the forty women at Craine House. The following is a list of items we

would like to include for each resident as well as holiday needs for our facility:
