Thirtieth Sunday in Ordinary Time
In this Sunday’s Gospel, the tax collector’s prayer allows God to be God and so allows God to pour mercy
into his heart. When we pray and give alms to the poor,
we allow God’s mercy to be poured into their hearts.
Through your gifts to the Society of St. Vincent de
Paul you also can give God’s mercy to your neighbor
who is hungry, hopeless, alone and frightened.

We are still in great need of personal care items at
the Immaculate Conception Food Pantry.
These are the things we need the most: shampoo,
bar soap, shaving cream, razors, toothpaste,
tooth brushes, body lotion, body wash, deodorant, Kleenex,
toilet tissue. At this time we do not need feminine hygiene
products or hair conditioner.
A collection bin is in the Usher’s Room and the items can
be placed in the bins.
Thank you so much!
At this time, we ask that you do not bring clothing or
household items to be left in the Bride’s Room. We
no longer have a way to distribute them to those who
might need them. We appreciate all your past support!

families not adopted will be represented on individual ornaments hanging from our tree. So Please – Open your
heart this holiday season to make Christmas as special in
their home as it is in yours ! Please contact Joy Hercules

SCHOOL NEWS: Kid’s Eye View
This week the 6th grade went to camp at Camp Lakewood. We got to take a bus and sleep there for 3
nights!
We went horse back riding, made s'mores around a bonfire, tried zip lining, climbed an alpine tower, took
a night hike, and learned how to make fire. My favorite was horse back riding -- it was my first time! I
wanted to ride my horse all the way back to St. Louis it was so fun! The 6th graders at Pillar came too,
so we got to make new friends.
My class really liked 6th grade camp but we were really tired when we got home! We got back on
Thursday, and Friday at school the Glendale Fire Department came to school and brought their fire
truck! It was a great week!
