FR. JERRY’S CORNER
frjerry@skdchurch.org
On Sunday, November 17 after the 10:30 am mass at St. Mary church, we will be having our Parish Annual
Meeting. I invite you to come and learn what we accomplished over the 2012-2013 year and what we are planning on doing for the
2013-2014 year. Your questions and suggestions are always welcome. For those who come, they will have a chance to win scrip. Mark
your calendar and hope to see you there.
Thank you for your generosity in supporting the Archdiocese for the Military Services and advancing the mission of Jesus
through our faith-filled prayer, service to our neighbor and our generous sharing.
I invite you to take a “Little Burgundy Book: Six-Minute Reflections on Stewardship in Light of the Gospel of Luke. In
light of stewardship, a way of life in Christ, will we give thanks to God? In my own life, as a priest, I recognize that I also need to share
financially with those in need. I use scrip for various places, but particularly food and gas. Each year I reflect upon my life in what I
have and what I need and prayerfully consider increasing my giving, thus making a change. Do you use scrip?
The CD of the month is “The 7 Levels of Intimacy” by Matthew Kelly. There is a limited number and they will be available
in the back of churches. Take one and listen to it and share it with others or bring it back for others to listen to.
The Featured Ministry of the Week is Altar Servers Funerals: Funeral Mass Servers are practicing Catholic men or women
willing to serve at Funeral Masses at the church of their choice. No prior server training is required, training will be provided. Participation is on a rotating schedule. Person must be able to tolerate incense. Persons need to be available during the day on week days. Contact person is Donna Vanden Heuvel at 766-1445
I invite you to pray for those involved in this ministry and prayerfully consider joining this ministry. I invite you to collect all
the ministries featured in the bulletin over the month, and then send them to me with the ministries listed, your full name, phone number,
and mailing address. The dead line for those featured in November (Nov. 3 – Nov. 24) is Dec. 1. The bulletins can also be found on our
website www.skdchurch.org. You can mail them to me at the parish office or e-mail me at frjerry@skdchurch.org. You will be entered
in a drawing for a $25 scrip gift certificate. Together let us advance the mission of Jesus through faith-filled prayer, service to my neighbor, and generous sharing. Congratulations to Edie Schneider, who won in the month of October.
In the back of our churches there is material that is free. This material provides a variety of information and opportunities to
help us grow in our faith. I would like to invite you to check it out. One of the pamphlets is entitled “Alcohol & Drug Addition Happens to the Best of Families.” Check it out.
Matthew: The King and His Kingdom, is a video study featuring Jeff Cavins a renowned Catholic Bible teacher. This bible
study will take place on Thursday at 1:00 PM at St. Mary (Social Hall) and Thursday at 6:30 PM at St. Aloysius (Upper Lounge). Both
sessions contain the same information. Contact Fr. Jerry 766-1445.

Loss and Dying
iturgy
Loss is always perceived as an
enemy or affliction, and looks
inistry
like what we don’t want. It is
from Donna not. It is just letting go of one
dvandenheuvel@skdchurch.org
thing to make room for
another thing. To embrace
loss, spiritually speaking, is to achieve something more
and something bigger. Some form of positive dying
invariably allows us to be untied with what is Larger
Reality, a newness of life. “Unless a grain of wheat dies, it
remains just a grain of wheat; but if it dies, it bears much
fruit.” John 12:24

Dear Parishioners,
This summer I made trips to Guantánamo Bay,
Cuba, to report on the U.S. prison there, and
Honduras, to learn more about the work of the
Jesuits in that country. Now I'm in my second year
as an associate editor at America magazine, which
is based in New York City. In a recent issue (Sept.
30), we published an interview with Pope Francis. It was a great
privilege to help prepare the interview for publication. It moved
me to tears many times. I am constantly inspired and challenged
by Francis' words and example. This fall I will apply for theology studies, the final stage of Jesuit formation before ordination.
I ask for your prayers during the application process. I will
continue to pray for you, too.
-Luke Hansen, S.J.

Humor for the Soul
A first-grade school teacher had twenty-six students in her class.
She presented each child in her classroom the first half of a wellknown proverb and asked them to come up with the remainder of
the proverb. It's hard to believe these were actually done by first
graders. Their insight may surprise you. While reading, keep in
mind that these are first-graders, six-year-olds!
• Don’t bite the hand that...looks dirty
• A penny saved is ...not much
• An idle mind...the best way to relax
• Laugh and the whole world laughs with you, cry and ...you
have to blow your nose
• A bird in the hand...is going to poop on you!
