Stewardship: A Way of Life
Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe
“...whatever you did for one of the least of my brothers,
you
did for me.”
Matthew 25:40
Most of us are generous when it’s convenient for us. We are
generous when we have the time or the money. But, generosity is the
opposite of that. It means giving of one’s time, money, compassion,
forgiveness or mercy when it’s not convenient; when it’s not on our
schedule, but on the other person’s schedule.
WORD OF LIFE: “The right to religious freedom has its foundation
in the very dignity of the human person.”
USCCB Secretariat of Pro-Life Activities

them know that they haven’t been forgotten. This year, the Care
Center requests the items be placed in gift bags only (no wrapped
boxes), attach the tag and return by December 21st. Thank you, so
much and Merry Christmas.

GIVE THANKS TO THE LORD: Thanksgiving is this week. What are you
thankful for? We should thank God for our spouse, family, friends,
and jobs. These are good things but beyond that, we should thank
God for his unconditional love and gift of salvation through Jesus.
Be grateful to start a new day with a chance to do better, be the
reason someone else is thankful. Throughout your day, you can pray,
consciously look for the beauty God has created, express gratitude
for other people and thank God ahead of time for his blessings even
before you receive them. Maybe start a habit of writing down or
thinking of five blessings you are grateful for each day.
Hopefully, by taking
the time to be grateful, we will feel better about ourselves and
perhaps help others feel better too.
Let us take a moment to consider the blessing of belonging to a
parish, with its
staff, volunteers, councils, committees, groups, and all
parishioners. Thanks to all of you! Have a blessed
Thanksgiving!

PANTRY DRIVE FOR THE HOLIDAYS: The Milton Knights of Columbus are
collecting gift cards or money for the Milton Food Pantry. This
year due to the pandemic, the Food Pantry has decided it best to
give $50 gift cards from Piggly Wiggly.
They are also refraining from toys and presents for the children
and instead
are giving $25 gift cards to Target for each child signed up.
The Knights are helping by asking you to
purchase one of these gift cards or simply donate cash or check
payable to Milton Knights of Columbus and we will purchase the gift
cards. The Supreme Council of the KCs will reimburse the Milton
Council with $100 for every $500 we donate - then in turn, that
$100 will be donated to the Milton Food Pantry. A donation
container will be located in the Gathering Space at church to place
your gift cards or money. Or you can mail to Grand Knight Roger D.
Schrader, 5736 E Eagle Dr, Milton, WI 53563. Your donations are
greatly appreciated!

ROCK HAVEN NURSING HOME CHRISTMAS GIFTS: St. Mary, Milton’s
Interfaith Community Outreach Committee will once again provide a
Christmas gift to each of the residents at Rock Haven Nursing Home.
Many of these residents have had no contact with family or visitors
since March, making them feel captive in their surroundings. By
providing a small gift, we want to give hope and show our love and
support to these elderly members of our community. We are asking
for money donations - any amount is encouraged! Then members of our
Outreach Committee will purchase a gift or two for each of the
residents (currently 92 people reside at Rock Haven, but there
could be as many as 128). Won’t you help us provide a smile to
these lovely people? Please make checks payable to St. Mary Parish.
Your donation will be added to your annual contribution statement.
Questions? Call Vicki at 608-449-6530.
Drop your Coats for Hope donations into the box
in the Gathering Space at St. Mary.
UPCOMING BULLETIN DEADLINE: Due to the Thanksgiving Holiday,
the deadline for November 29th bulletin is

BIBLE STUDY BEGINS AT ST. JOSEPH: Do We Realize How Richly We’ve
Been Blessed? Embark on a guided tour of the “Holy of Holies” of
biblical theology. The book of Hebrews is like a little Catechism.
It is steeped in rich truths that are foundational to our Catholic
Faith, but its highly refined theological concepts can be difficult
for even the most seasoned Bible scholars to unpack.
Presented by Andrew Swafford and Jeff Cavins, Hebrews: The New
and Eternal Covenant draws out the riches of this sublime book in a
way that makes them easier to understand. It draws connections
between the Old and New Testaments, the Liturgy, the Eucharist, the
priesthood, and so much more. Most importantly, Hebrews will help
Catholics appreciate the astounding generosity of God as they see
the wonders he has given us in the Church.
Join us for this 8-week study on Monday evenings from 6:00-8:00
p.m., beginning November 30. We will meet in the parish hall and
participants will sit at their own table (unless from the same
household). Cost of the study is $27.00 for materials. You will
need to bring your own bible. Please contact Becky Eastman at 608-
290-2827 or [email protected] if you wish to join.
Or study on your own from home. To purchase the on-line option,
go to:

A LIFE-CHANGING EXPERIENCE FOR TEENS You: Life, Love, and the
Theology of the Body is a unique program which reveals to teens
their value as a person: their bodies, their sexuality, and their
individual call to love. Filmed on location all over the world, the
program features teens as well as respected Catholic leaders. It
addresses, head on, many of the issues teens are already exposed to
via entertainment media, societal pressures, and their own
interactions with each other. This program will give teens the
answers and the tools they need to successfully and safely navigate
through life. There is still time to register! Contact Amy Volciak
