THIRTY-SECOND SUNDAY OF ORDINARY TIME – NOVEMBER 9TH , 2014
NOVEMBER ALL SOULS MASSES
NOVEMBRE – SS MESSE PER LE SS ANIME
As is the tradition in many parishes,
we have made available envelopes
for the November Masses for the
Holy Souls. If you want to use these
envelopes, you may write the names
for your beloved deceased family and
friends and then drop the envelope
into the collection basket – remember
to put your name and address as well
so that the donation can be noted in
our records.
Con l’inizio del mese di novembre, avete a disposizione le
buste per le Sante Anime. Potete scrivere i nomi dei vostri
cari defunti e poi questa offerta va messa d’entro il cestino
dell’offertorio, senza passare una seconda volta. Ricordate
di scrivere anche il vostro nome per accreditare sulla vostra
nota.
SHEPHERDS’ TRUST COLLECTION
The Shepherds’ Trust has a mission to provide, comfort and
care for those who have steadfastly cared for us – our retired
priests. As parishioners, we have our own
memories of a Catholic priest who made a
positive, meaningful and lasting impact in
our lives.
Each year, thousands of people contribute
to the Shepherds’ Trust. The collection will
take place in all parishes in the
Archdiocese on November 15th & 16th.
Envelopes will be available at the back of
the church this weekend.
We want our priests to retire safely and with dignity. The
Shepherds’ Trust allows us to help achieve this goal.
Your generosity is deeply appreciated.
La prossima settimana, in tutte le Parrocchie dell’Archidiocesi
di Toronto, si terrà una colletta speciale per il Shepherds’
Trust. L’obbiettivo del Shepherds’ Trust è quello di dare
sostegno ai nostri sacerdoti in pensione e di prendersi cura di
loro, così come loro si presero` costante cura di noi.
Noi Parrocchiani, portiamo con noi ricordi di sacerdoti
cattolici che hanno reso la nostra vita più positiva,
significativa e duratura.
Ogni anno, migliaia di persone contribuiscono al Shepherds’
Trust. Vogliamo far sì che i nostri sacerdoti possano ritirarsi
tranquillamente e con dignità e il Shepherds’ Trust ci
permette di raggiungere tale obbiettivo.
I CADUTI DI GUERRA - L’9 DI NOVEMBRE
Com’è l’usanza dal 1976, oggi, alla
messa in italiano alle 09.00, sarà
anche in suffragio DEI CADUTI DI
TUTTE LE GUERRE presso la nostra
chiesa.
Accogliamo tra di noi le varie
Rappresentanze Militari e Civili. Si
depone la “CORONA DI ALLORO”
davanti alla Madonna della Pace a lato della Chiesa.
SVDP – BUNDLE UP WEEKEND NOV 15-16
Bring your gently used clothing and
household linens to share with others
next weekend November 15 & 16th. A
St. Vincent de Paul truck will be in the
church parking lot so please share
what you can with those less fortunate.
We will donate or sell these donations
to support our outreach efforts. The
truck will be open all day Saturday and Sunday until
early evening both days. Thank you for your continued
support.
Vi avvisiamo che il camion della Società di San Vincenzo de
Paoli sarà presente nel parcheggio del nostro convento (72
Mansfield) sabato e domenica 15 e 16 novembre. Potete
preparare i vostri indumenti, scarpe, biancheria e anche
giocattoli usati ma anche puliti per aiutare i poveri. Vi
chiediamo la gentilezza di portare le vostre offerte solo in
questi due giorni – aiutate i poveri.
AROUND THE PARISH
RECTORY CHRISTMAS GIFT
With construction now nearing completion on our Rectory,
the Friars hope to move in this January 2015. Nonetheless,
we still have some work ahead of us as we still have to
furnish most of the Rectory to meet our most basic needsfrom stocking the kitchen and bathrooms to purchasing beds,
linen, draperies tables and chairs.
We are excited to let you know that we have preserved our
heritage as we have restored some of the antique furniture
that has been part of our historical fabric since 1903. These
pieces will be located on the main floor of the Rectory –
designed for Parish and Community operations.
Parishioners sometimes ask us what we could give our
priests for Christmas. This year we are asking for your help to
furnish our Rectory. Our target goal is $50,000.
Vi ringraziamo di cuore per la vostra generosità.
Please consider making a donation to “Our Rectory
Christmas Gift”. Special envelopes are available at the back
of the church.
MARRIAGE BANNS
To make a donation, please make your cheque payable to
“St Francis of Assisi Church” and indicate on the memo
line “Christmas Rectory Gift”. All donations will be issued a
charitable tax receipt at the end of the year.
The Marriage between Antonio-Giovanni Fasulo and
Melissa Sue Russo will take place on November 15th, 2014
at St Francis of Assisi Church.
Thank you for always being there for us and for your
continued prayers.

year is “Jesus said to her: ‘Give me a drink.’” (John 4:7).
Students should read the Scripture passage John 4:1-42 and

If Jesus was able to reach out beyond his own Jewish
community, and to a woman with a questionable reputation,
what does that tell Catholics about the value of Christian Unity?
