Thy Kingdom Come
Today we celebrate the solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ the King but we do not see a person who looks like a
king. Rather, we see Jesus shackled before Pilate who arrogantly questions him. Jesus’ words to Pilate, “my
kingdom does not belong to this world” would seem to envision another worldly world pointing to a non-material
heavenly kingdom. But is this what he really means? There is good reason to believe that his rule will not
tolerate the sin and evil that exists in much of our present experience. However, Jesus’ desire is not to abandon
this world but to save it.
For most of us the Gospel is presented in this way: the Son of God came to earth, died and rose to forgive our
sins. He opened the gates of heaven so if we live a good life, our souls will go to heaven when we die.
This understanding assumes the Gospel story moves from earth to heaven which orients the Christian imagination
toward life after death. As a result, we may not expect to encounter Christ at work in our daily lives since our
focus is to earn a place in heaven.
Bringing the Message Home
We pray each day, “thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” This prayer moves our
attention from heaven to earth. It moves from God’s future world into the current world. When we understand
Jesus’ desire is not to abandon the world but save it. When we understand Christ’s kingdom in this sense,
our mission is not to escape from the world but to change it.

PASTOR´S MESSAGE
PUTTING THE "GALA" IN THE "AUCTION" MIDNIGHT IN PARIS
O
n November 30 in the evening we will gather in the Arena and in Mercy Center for our parish Gala Auction.
This tradition serves to bring all parishioners together for a great time with excellent food with a French flair and
silent and live auctions. This tradition ties us in with memorable past events and also helps to position us for the
future. New resources that will be generated by the Gala Auction will be shared between church and school and allow us to
undertake new initiatives and programs. An immense amount of work goes into the planning and execution of this major
fund-raising event so that it will have something new and exciting for everyone. For your formal entrance, our Honorary
Chairpersons: Paul and Lynn Lawless and Michael and Sandy Fascetti will welcome you with the added colorful accompaniment
of French mimes. The FAU Jazz ensemble will be entertaining in the gazebo all during cocktails and dinner time. The imaginative decor will transport you to Paris, Eiffel Tower and the Champs Elysee.
The silent auction will fill five rooms with exciting gift opportunities just in time for Christmas. Best of all, the Live Auction will pit bidder against
bidder to win unique and fun-filled vacations and other entertainment excursions. The most anticipated events of the evening are the auctions of the
special class projects--each of them capturing the love and imagination of our grade school children. To top off the evening of fun and as the grand finale
will be the drawing for the Grand Prize of an all-inclusive river cruise through Normandy including air transport to Paris. This will be a great vacation as
you leisurely cruise past and visit quaint towns, beautiful countrysides and enjoy fine food.
This week is your last chance to purchase tickets for this memorable evening in Paris, (Boca Raton, Florida). Like Owen Wilson in the film Midnight
in Paris, you will discover the wonder and beauty of Paris and connect with friends in an evening not to be forgotten. You will also have the good feeling
that comes with supporting valuable programs of our school and ministries of our parish. This is a combination not to be beat "to have a great time and
to do great good".
- Msgr. Michael D. McGraw

It is also critical for the hospital & hospice that
upon admission you identify yourself as a Catholic
and, if you choose, a Catholic requesting a Clergy
Pastoral Visit.
BRRH does not advise us of your presence in

GOAL 6, GROW OUR RESOURCES
In 2016 St. Joan of Arc will have the infrastructure and the
resources to realize our vision.
STRATEGIC AGENDA
Over the next five years, we will:
A. Build awareness among parishioners of their ownership in SJA, its

B. Teach and encourage stewardship and sacrificial giving of time,
talent and treasure as pathways to growing in faith.
C. Educate parishioners to participate in the broad range of giving
opportunities such as coat of arms, arc angel society, endowment,
planned giving and major gift vehicles that exist for supporting the
parish and its ministries.
D. Develop and implement a parish campaign to support Journey Forward
initiatives and facility improvements.
E. Optimize the marketing of Saint Joan of Arc’s distinctive qualities
of worship, community and service.
Priority/Ranking Initiative Description
1. Establish a Journey Forward Committee for on-going implementation
of the Plan
2. Study the possibility of getting drops for Gazebo so we can enclose
area in during events.
3. Research and implement a plan for the protection of the vulnerable
church windows from hurricanes.
4. Examine options and choose a plan to make the St. Joan of Arc Gift
Shop profitable, and to better serve the needs of the community in
regards to merchandise, hours of operation, etc.
5. Show off the art work and achievements of our students to the larger
parish family and to the community by finding a public place to display.
6. Find new and effective ways to encourage parishioners’ financial
support through their offertory giving.

THE MASS MINISTRY
The Liturgical Committee of St. Joan of
Arc has recommended starting a new
ministry that will provide Adult Servers
for the Masses on the weekends. The
name of the ministry is called
Ministry of Adult Servers Society or
“MASS.” This special ministry
will not replace the Children
Altar Servers.
We are asking individuals to come forward and volunteer to use
their talents to help in this important Liturgical Ministry. Members
of MASS will be asked to serve at various Masses during the
weekends to serve the priest, especially when there is no deacon
available. They will also be serving on special occasions.
Training in the liturgy and the rubrics of serving will be given to
anyone interested in this new ministry.
Please contact Fr. Jimmy B. Hababag (561) 392-0007 or
Deacon Bill Watzek (561) 952-2828 if you wish to join this
exciting new ministry in service to God and His Church!

Please join us for an informational seminar regarding your

the time for you to select a new Medicare Health Plan for
2013 if you are not happy with your existing plan!
This event is only for educational purposes and no

Brothers and Sisters in Christ:
This year marks the 25th anniversary of the Appeal for the Retirement
Fund for Religious which will be observed in the parishes of this
Diocese on December 8-9, 2012. We write to ask for your support
and encouragement in promoting this most necessary appeal.
There is a growing crisis in retirement funding for religious based
on insufficient retirement savings, rising health care cost, and declining
income. These conditions have had a serious impact on religious
institutes' capacity to provide the care that their elder members need.
Traditionally, women and men religious worked for small stipends that
include retirement benefits. These stipends were invested in ministry and
in education for members who were engage in ministry. At present, the
income of younger religious supports a large portion of elder-care
expenses. In the coming years, however, this will no longer be the case
as more religious reach retirement age and leave compensated ministry.
By 2019 , it is expected that religious past age 70 will outnumber those

under age 70 by roughly four to one. Further, it is important to note
that religious communities are financially autonomous and solely
responsible for the support and care of all members. Income, earnings,
and expenses are managed separately from the catholic Church and its
diocesan structures.
Therefore, it is very clear why this appeal is so important to the
retired religious of our Church. We ask you to support this cause and
contribute to this collection as a way to express your gratitude and
appreciation for the work of these retired religious.
Thank you for your generosity in supporting the Appeal for the
Retirement Fund for Religious. God's peace and blessings be with you.
Sincerely in Christ,

XXXIV Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario, Ciclo B
Solemnidad:
Jesucristo,
Rey del Universo
El Reinado de Cristo es un reinado de justicia y de amor.
Queremos que Cristo reine, en primer lugar, en nuestra
inteligencia, en nuestra voluntad, en todas las acciones... y asi
extender el Reino de Cristo. La vida consiste en habitar con
Jesucristo, y donde está Jesucristo allí está su Reino.
“En la fiesta de hoy oímos al Señor que nos dice en la
intimidad de nuestro corazón: Yo tengo sobre ti pensamientos
de paz y no de aflicción, y hacemos el propósito de arreglar en
nuestro corazón lo que no sea conforme con el querer de Cristo.
A la vez, le pedimos poder colaborar en esa tarea grande de
extender su reinado a nuestro alrededor y en tantos lugares
donde aún no le conocen. «A esto hemos sido llamados los
cristianos, esa es nuestra tarea apostólica y el afán que nos
debe comer el alma: lograr que sea realidad el reino de Cristo,
que no haya más odios ni más crueldades, que extendamos
en la tierra el bálsamo fuerte y pacífico del amor». Esto solo
lo lograremos acercando a muchos a Jesús, mediante un
apostolado constante y eficaz entre las personas que
diariamente pasan cerca de nuestra vida.”

COMPENDIO DEL CATECISMO DE LA IGLESIA CATÓLICA
66. ¿En qué sentido el hombre es creado «a imagen de Dios?»
El hombre ha sido creado a imagen de Dios, en el sentido de que es capaz de conocer y
amar libremente a su propio Creador. Es la única criatura sobre la tierra a la que Dios
ama por sí misma, y a la que llama a compartir su vida divina, en el conocimiento y en
el amor. El hombre, en cuanto creado a imagen de Dios, tiene la dignidad de persona:
no es solamente algo, sino alguien capaz de conocerse, de darse libremente y de entrar
en comunión con Dios y las otras personas.
67. ¿Para qué fin ha creado Dios al hombre?
Dios ha creado todo para el hombre, pero el hombre ha sido creado para conocer, servir
y amar a Dios, para ofrecer en este mundo toda la Creación a Dios en acción de gracias,
y para ser elevado a la vida con Dios en el cielo. Solamente en el misterio del Verbo
encarnado encuentra verdadera luz el misterio del hombre, predestinado a reproducir la
imagen del Hijo de Dios hecho hombre, que es la perfecta «imagen de Dios invisible»
(Col 1, 15).
