Calendars Were Blessed this morning and are available for
each family of the parish. Be sure to take one for your college
student or family member in the rest home. We appreciate and
thank Quinn Lumber Company again this year for donating the
calendars.
Children’s Advent Calendars are also available to families with
children ages 10 and under. By helping the children open small
doors daily on the calendar, we help them joyfully anticipate the
birth of the Baby Jesus.
Parish Christmas Angel The names of all the parish families
have been put in a basket. Each family is welcome to choose a
name or two out of the basket, pray for that family (and make an
effort to get to know something about the family) during Advent,
then reveal themselves to the family during the Christmas
season. The feast of the Epiphany, (January 3 this year) when
the three wise men gave gifts to the Magi, is suggested. That
way its not just one more thing to do before Christmas.
Catholic Stewardship Appeal
As of November 23, St.
Bonaventure parish has pledged or donated $6,199 or 89% of
the $6,950 CSA goal. Please continue sending in your
Diocesan commitment envelopes.
Thank you to the 76 parish families who returned their Parish
Time, Talent and Treasure green card. If you haven’t returned
your card, please do so by next Sunday either in the collection
or by mail. Your promptness helps us to tabulate the results in
a timely manner. Thank you.
School News: We look forward to sharing with you our
Christmas program on Sunday, December 13, at 2:00 pm.
Come share with us!
Youth News: Next HS Youth Meeting is a Christmas party on
Wednesday, December 9. Bring $5 child’s gift for needy
Jr. High Youth Group meeting is this Wednesday, December
2 at 7 pm.
Feast of the Immaculate Conception, a Holy Day of obligation
is Tuesday, December 8. Masses will be celebrated on Monday
evening, December 7, at St. Bonaventure at 5:30 pm & Tuesday
morning, December 8, at 8:05 am. Mass at Brookfield will be at
7:00 pm on December 8.
Come Enjoy an Evening of food, fellowship and festivities!
That’s the invite from the St. Bonaventure Knights and Ladies
Auxiliary. Monday, December 7, after the 5:30 pm Mass at St.
Bonaventure, they celebrate the annual Light Up for Christ with
the blessing of their indoor and outdoor nativity scenes. Then a
carry in dinner will be served with meat and drinks provided.
Santa plans to attend, so why not you? Bring your kids and
grandkids to visit with Santa when he’s not quite so busy. And
bring a dish to share. Everyone is invited!
The Word Among Us A few booklets are still available this
weekend to prepare for Christmas during this Advent season.
Please pick up a copy provided by the parish, and take a few
minutes a day to use this booklet to grow closer to the Lord and
make Christmas much more meaningful for you and your family.

Year For Priests Pope Benedict XVI has declared June 2009
to June 2010 as the “Year for Priests”. Pray for your priest.
Pray as a family for vocations. Remember priests who have
made a difference in your life, maybe baptized you or one of
your children, heard your first confession, offered Mass at your
first communion, officiated at your marriage, or were there
when you had a serious family problem or death. Remember
them with a card or note this Christmas.
Adopt a Family If you are interested in helping a family out at
Christmas through the Marceline Welfare Council, please
contact Margaret Epperson at 376-3591. She will help you
choose a family and give you other details. The cost would be
around $30. Please contact her soon, so all families may be
adopted.
Memorial Angels are available from Pershing Hospice, to
remember a loved one. For more information see flyer in back
of church or call 1-800-643-0742.
Our Sympathy and Prayers to the Ewigman family on the
death of their brother-in-law, Lewis Bradford of Raymore, who
was buried this past week at St. Bonaventure. May he rest in
eternal peace.
Baby Bottles We need baby bottles for an upcoming fund
raising drive in our parish for the Pregnancy Resource Center.
If you have baby bottles that you are not using, please drop
them off at the rectory or contact Jennifer Dixon at 376-4139.
Today’s Gospel Reading Records the most important
exchange in all of literature, the one between Jesus and Pilate.
While Pilate presumes the conversation is about an earthly,
political “king”, Jesus, by contrast, suggests to Pilate that he is
that “faithful witness” of a wholly transcendent kingship, one
that is envisioned by Daniel and the reading from the Book of
Revelations. As we approach the Advent season, this week
would be a good time to reflect on how we understand our roll
as stewards of this transcendent kingship and how we can
better serve Christ to bring about this new kingdom.
