A Catholic Church in Rural Southeastern Portage County, WI
8611 State Highway 54 • Almond, WI 54909
Go and do likewise... Luke 10:37
WHY DO WE DO THAT? - CATHOLIC LIFE EXPLAINED
Question:
What is the Christian attitude towards violent conflicts?
Answer:
In the Beatitudes, Jesus teaches us "Blessed are the
peacemakers" and to "love your enemies." All human
beings are made in God's image and likeness. We are
one human family -- brothers and sisters despite what
divides us. Christians have the obligation to prioritize
peaceful means to resolve conflicts. War wreaks a toll on
a nation. Civilians bear a disproportionate burden of this
cost during the war itself and as the nation rebuilds.
However, those in authority have the obligation to protect
the innocent.
During the gradual fall of the Roman Empire, theologians
began to theorize that war could be just if it was a
defensive measure of last resort. The "Just War Theory"
was later expanded by St. Thomas Aquinas, who also
included moral obligations during the war itself, including
the protection of civilians. Those in public authority have
the obligation to carefully examine their motives, agendas,
and rationale for violent force. Should a cause be just,
those who fight and defend under such circumstances
must be valued and honored. They deserve our support
both during and after the war.
FATHER”S CORNER
Dear Loving parishioners,
Love and Peace of Christ!
This weekend we are invited to live out a total
commitment to serve God with a humble and generous
heart, free from pride and prejudice.
A poor widow declares that she has found true honor in
God’s eyes. The poor widows in both the first reading
and the Gospel gave away all that they possessed for
the glory of God.
Life messages: Let us learn to appreciate the widows
and widowers of our parish community. Their loneliness
draws them closer to God and to stewardship in the
parish. They are often active participants in all the
liturgical celebrations, offering prayers for their families
and for their parish family. Frequently, they are active
in the parish organizations, as well as visiting and
serving the sick and the shut-ins.
We often judge people by what they possess. We give
weight to their position in society, to their educational
qualifications, or to their celebrity status. Jesus
measures us in a totally different way – on the basis of
our inner motives and the intentions hidden behind our
actions. He evaluates us on the basis of the sacrifices
we make for others and on the degree of our surrender
to His holy will.
Let us, like the poor widow, find the courage to share
the wealth and talents we hold.
God bless you,
—Fr. Peter

On January 22, 1973, (44 years ago), a
court decision was rendered which legalized abortion
throughout the entire nine months of pregnancy. This
decision, Roe vs. Wade, is the reason over 1 million
abortions have been committed in the U.S. each year
since. To help stop the anti-life push around the world,
the late Venerable Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen encour-
aged the "spiritual adoption" of an unborn child. This is
done by praying that one particular, but unknown
child's life be spared from abortion and be allowed to
continue to live.
To help accomplish this, it is recommended an
individual say the following daily prayer for a period of
nine months.
"Jesus, Mary and Joseph, I love you very
much. I beg you to spare the life of [baby's
name], the unborn baby that I have spiritually
adopted who is in danger of abortion."
--Prayer of Venerable Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen

This year, instead of Thanksgiving
baskets, we will be presenting
families in need with a gift card to
be used to shop for their
Thanksgiving meal. If you have any suggestions of
families who are in need, contact Angie in the parish
office at 715-824-3380. Please call this Monday
through Wednesday between the hours of 10am and
3pm. The deadline is November 14th. If you would like
to make a monetary donation to assist with this, please
make the check out to the PCCW and mail it to the
church in care of PCCW. Thank you.

Most people are familiar with the Veteran's Home at
King. Not everyone is aware that they have many
needs that they as individuals cannot meet. Each year,
the state puts out a Wish List for each location. A
basket will be placed in the gathering space for the
next three weeks for you to place your much
appreciated donations. If you choose to purchase gift
cards from our Scrip program, let them know you are
purchasing for the veterans. Everything will be taken to
King just prior to Veteran's Day and distributed to the
veterans. Please be kind and generous. It's a little thing
for us to do for those who have given much of
themselves for our freedom. Questions can be directed
to Mary 715-340-7217.
