From the Desk of Fr. Underwood:

This time of year we give thanks to God for
His many gifts and we prepare for the greatest
gift - the birth of Jesus Christ our Savior. It has
been a tradition here at St. Lawrence to share some
of the parish needs so parishioners can thank
God and celebrate the birth of our Savior through a
gift to the parish. This list will be posted in the
bulletin for several weeks. If you would like to
make a gift to the parish, please select an item (or
items) on the list, place the money (or check) in an envelope marked
WISH LIST 2014 with your name on it as well as the gift you have
selected. The envelope can be given to me, Fr. Duquaine, the parish office,
or placed in the collection. Thank you in advance for sharing your many
gifts with your parish!

THE FAMILY THAT WORKS, PRAYS AND PLAYS TOGETHER

Q: One of the spiritual works of mercy states to "to bear
wrongs patiently "....what does this mean?
A: The Spiritual works of Mercy (instruct the ignorant,
counsel the doubtful, comfort the sorrowful, admonish the
sinner, bear wrongs patiently, forgive all injuries, pray for
the living and the dead) are exterior manifestations of the
faith of a disciple of Christ. St. James tells us that faith
apart from works is dead (James 2:26), and these works
of mercy show our love for our neighbor in his or her
spiritual needs. To bear wrongs patiently is an act of faith
that God will enact justice in His own way for the wrongs
that have been done to us by another. Sometimes we ought
to correct people who have wronged us, but other times we
should keep silent. If we are wronged by someone in a
slight way, we can accept the wrong, pray for them, and
offer up our hurt to God. Prudence is the important virtue
in determining right action. This is a very good way to let
go of anger that leads to bitterness and resentment. Jesus
exemplified this work of mercy by praying for those who
were crucifying him while he hung on the cross! (email
questions to frduquaine@catholicweb.com).
RCIA The Period of the Catechumen
Please help us welcome the inquirers
who participated in the Rite of
Acceptance & Welcoming into the
order of Catechumens at the 9:30 Mass on Oct. 26.
This Rite is of the utmost importance. Assembling
publicly for the first time, the candidates who have
completed the period of the pre-catechumen and
declare their intention to the Church and the Church
in turn, carrying out its apostolic mission, accepts
them as persons who intend to become its members.
God showers his grace on the candidates, since the
celebration manifests their desire publicly and marks
their reception and first consecration by the Church.
Please welcome:
Phil Trice, Deb Trice, Adam
Cornell, Crystal Cornell, Maggie Cramsey, Brian
Puskar and Justin Wilson. Please keep them in your
prayers as they continue their journey of faith.
Inquiry sessions continue to meet. Wont you join
us for an inquiry session? For more information
please call the Parish Office or Jim at 447-2939.

ornaments that have "needs" written on them. Some have toys, some are
for special family gifts and some are specific clothes for each
special child. Please take an ornament or two and purchase what is
written on it. It is important that you return the ornament with the gift you purchase so we
can match them up to the child they represent. All gifts should be unwrapped and
placed in the back of church before December 7th.
We are still in need for volunteers to help on the day of the event: Saturday, December
13th. If you can help, email 1maryjonelson@comcast.net with your name, phone and what
you can do to help. This takes a lot of people to help.
For those who want to help but can't shop or help at the Jubilee, we will need donations of
cash to help pay for the gift certificates and ham that is given to each family. Just place your
donation in an envelope clearly marked JUBILEE and drop it in the collection or at the
