This Sunday is the Solemnity of Christ the King. The Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe, formerly referred to as "Christ the King," was established by Pope Pius XI in 1925 as an antidote to secularism, a way of life which leaves God out of man's thinking and living and organizes his life as if God did not exist. The feast is intended to proclaim in a striking and effective manner Christ's royalty over individuals, families, society, governments, and nations.

On Tuesday, November 10th, Fr. Spisak had hip replacement surgery. He will be away from the parish until January 11, 2021. While he is away, Fr. Jim Bretzke, S.J. from John Carroll University will be helping our parish with Mass on the weekends. I am thankful to him for his assistance. During the weekdays, our parish will experience some changes.

Jesus tells us to “stay awake, for you know neither the day nor the hour.”  In these final weeks of Ordinary Time, the Church reminds us of the need to be prepared for the coming of the Lord.  The parable in this Sunday’s Gospel comes to us from Matthew 25:1-13.  There are five wise virgins and five foolish virgins.  The ones who were wise brought flasks of oil along with their lamps.  The foolish ones brought no oil along with their lamps.  They had to leave to buy oil and were locked out of the wedding feast.  The bridegroom had arrived for the wedding feast while they were gone. 

The parish conference of the St. Vincent DePaul Society will again be helping individuals and families who need assistance in providing a bountiful Thanksgiving dinner.

Register as soon as possible; the last day to register is Wednesday, November 23rd. prior to 12 noon.
