A STEWARDSHIP MOMENT
In today’s Gospel, Jesus suggests that his disciples must
be prepared to suffer ridicule, persecution and perhaps
even death if they are to follow him. Sometimes we may
wonder if enduring ridicule and scorn are what we really
signed up for when we received the sacraments of initiation.
Would we not rather sneak through life as painlessly
as possible? Good stewards take their faith seriously and
find comfort in the closing words of today’s Gospel: “You
will be hated by all because of my name but not a hair on
your head will be destroyed. By your perseverance you
will secure your lives.” Let us make it part of our daily
prayer routine to ask the Holy Spirit for the courage to act
in Jesus’ name no matter the consequences.

Mass Intentions–2014 Mass Book Open—Starting Monday, November 18
Stay up-to-date with the latest—SWYM
The celebration of the Eucharist is the highest form of worship in the Catholic
Church because we unite ourselves with Christ's sacrifice on the cross in worship
of his Father. The faithful may request Mass(es) to be celebrated for a specific
intention, for the living or the dead.



To request a Mass Intention at Saint William during the 2014 year, please
visit the Saint William church office.
Due to the size of our parish, Mass Intentions are limited to 3 per family per
year, scheduled on non-consecutive times or dates.
Mass Intentions not at Saint William—Additionally, many of our parishioners
have found that the Seraphic Mass Association - Capuchin Mission is an
excellent place to request multiple Mass intentions. The Seraphic Mass Association - Capuchin Mission Office can schedule Mass intention requests with
Capuchin Franciscan Friars throughout the world. To request Mass Intentions
through the Seraphic Mass Association, call 1-877-737-9050 (toll free) or visit the
Seraphic Mass Association - Capuchin Mission website at http://
www.seraphicmass.org/cards_info.asp About the Capuchin Mission - For nearly
500 years, Capuchin Franciscan Friars have been called to mission. The Friars
have served in foreign lands since the Order was started in 1528. Preaching on
almost every continent of the globe, the Capuchins are daily witnesses to the
sharing of God’s Word and His love, even to the ends of the earth. Your offering
also serves as a means of support for their life and ministry.

Second Collection—Typhoon Recovery in the Philippines—November 24
In the aftermath of the devastation of the recent typhoon in the Philippines, Saint
William will be taking up a special second collection next weekend, November
24, to assist those who have been affected.
We are blessed in our parish to have many families from the Philippines and
many have family members who have been affected by this tragedy. Also, our
diocese is blessed with the presence of a number of priests working here who
are from the Philippines. Your generosity is greatly appreciated.
Volunteer to help victims of the Halloween Flooding in Central Texas
Bishop Joe S. Vásquez is asking Central Texas Catholics, especially service
organizations, to volunteer to assist victims of the Halloween flood in Central
Texas.
“As Catholics, we need to reach out and assist those in our community whose
lives have been disrupted by this natural disaster. Please consider volunteering
your time to help our brothers and sisters. I also ask you to join me in prayer for
all those affected by the flooding,” said Bishop Joe S. Vásquez. “This is a perfect
service opportunity and a chance to do corporal works of mercy, by service
groups, youth groups, families, Knights of Columbus, campus ministries, and
individuals. I invite everyone to help.”
Tasks include cleaning mud, furniture, carpeting and personal items out of
homes. Sheetrock and other construction materials need to be removed and
placed on the curb for city pick-up. Volunteers are encouraged to wear appropriate clothing for the work, including closed-toe shoes. Please bring gloves, flat
shovels and utility knives. Minimum age is 12 (with an adult) or 18. Signups are
being coordinated through this website: http://www.handsoncentraltexas.org/
apex/HOC__Volunteer_Opportunity_Details_Page?id=a0CA000000UJn27MAD
Individuals or group leaders will have to register and create a login to use the
website. After that, select a date and then an individual or entire team can be
signed up at once. Open dates range from now through December 22.
It is recommended that, if possible, groups from parishes wear shirts that identify
them as being part of a Catholic organization.
THIRTY-THIRD SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
Saint Vincent’s Corner
The Gospel predicts end times; our challenge though is to live faithfully now. St. Vincent often asked this simple
question: “What would Jesus Christ do, if he were in my place now?
Ask yourself “What would Jesus Christ do?” and then put your donations in the Society of St. Vincent de
Paul food box so that those who are suffering will be able to celebrate Thanksgiving.
Words of Life
"It is impossible to further the common good without acknowledging and defending the right to life, upon which all
the other inalienable rights of individuals are founded and from which they develop. A society lacks solid
foundations when, on the one hand, it asserts values such as the dignity of the person, justice and peace, but
then, on the other hand, radically acts to the contrary by allowing or tolerating a variety of ways in which human
life is devalued and violated, especially where it is weak or marginalized. Only respect for life can be the
foundation and guarantee of the most precious and essential goods of society, such as democracy and peace." ~

Sunday Liturgy of the Hours in Advent—Sundays in Advent
Join us for Sunday Liturgy of the Hours starting the first Sunday of Advent. We will have Liturgy of
the Hours in the Sacred Heart Chapel at 7pm for all Sundays in Advent. This will be alternated in
English and Spanish. So if it is English this week, it will be in Spanish the next and vice versa.
Each Sunday, following the homily, we stand and
profess our Catholic faith in the Creed. We profess
what we believe as a single individual person and
also united with millions of others around the globe.
It is rather awesome to realize that so many are
saying the very same words as we stand and profess our faith. How do you understand the meaning
of the words spoken in the Creed? In what ways do
you appreciate that we pray in solidarity with millions of other
Christians?
Cada domingo, después de la homilía, nos
ponemos de pie y profesamos nuestra fe
Católica en el Credo. Profesamos que creemos
como una sola persona y también en unión con
millones de personas alrededor del mundo. Es
maravilloso darnos cuenta de que tantas personas
se encuentran diciendo las mismas palabras cuando nosotros nos ponemos de pie y profesamos
nuestra fe.¿Cómo entiende usted el significado de
las palabras dichas en el Credo? ¿De qué maneras
usted aprecia lo que oramos en solidaridad con
millones de Cristianos?

Baby Banks
Thank you to all who participated in the 'Baby Bank" project for the Respect Life month of
October. Your generosity in support of God's precious gift of life is a blessing to many. You may
still return your Baby Bank to the parish office if you were not able to bring it to Mass. Thank You!
The liturgical year draws to a close with
reminders that being a disciple of Jesus is not
easy. Faithfulness to Christ will bring opposition
and ridicule. We may stand up against abortion,
or torture or the death penalty. We may speak
out for immigrants, refugees and the poor.
These positions might cause others to reject us.
We are privileged to be disciples – brothers and
sisters of Jesus, but like his road, ours will
involve the cross.
