Family Prayer 



Thirty-second Sunday in Ordinary Time

Reading I : 1 Kings 17:10-16

The jar of flour shall not go empty.

• In Jewish law there are many commands concerning care for widows, because the widow in Israel had no real means of economic independence.
• In today’s reading, Elijah promises the widow that neither she nor her son will starve.
• The woman, a non-Israelite, believes the word of the Israelite prophet.

Reading II : Hebrews 9:24-28

Christ takes away our sins.

• The reading from the Letter to the Hebrews stresses that Jesus gave his life as a sacrifice for all.
• Jesus Christ gave his life for all people.
• His perfect gift takes away sins once for all.

Gospel : Mark 12:38-44

She gave from her want.

• In today’s Gospel, Jesus presents a poor widow as an example of a truly faithful person in Judaism.
• She is willing to contribute what she has and to lay down her life for the sake of the leaders in the community.
• Jesus judges the gift of the woman as the most valuable of all.

A Message from Mr. Obersdorf

Grandparents/ VIP Day

On All Saints Day we celebrated Saints and invited VIPs/ Grandparents to join us. Many of our students dressed as Saints and our 3rd graders did a great job of preparing and leading our Mass celebration. Our VIPs/ Grandparents not only joined us for Mass, but also joined us for lunch, a bingo session, and to see their grandchild's classroom. Over 425 people including students attended. Lunch was turkey, mashed potatoes, salad and a cookie. The bingo hall (our gym) was filled with laughter and cheers as each number was called. The food was great, bingo was fun, and the Saint participation was awesome, but the best part of the day was seeing the joy on the faces of all in attendance. Thank you to all of the VIPs/ Grandparents who joined our celebration. Here are some pictures of our Saints. To see more pictures, please check out our Facebook page
