November & Plenary Indulgences
In a decree by the Vatican given on October 23rd, the
plenary indulgence granted around the time of November
1st to 8th has been extended throughout the entire
month of November. The indulgenced act involves
visiting a cemetery and offering prayers for the dead.
The general prescription for obtaining a plenary
indulgence apply: 1. Confession (20 days prior or after
the indulgenced day), 2. Holy Eucharist, 3. Pray for the
Pope’s intentions (remember, the intentions are specific
to the office of the papacy, not to the holder of the office;
prayer can consist of an Our Father and a Hail Mary),
4. Be free from all attachment including venial sin, and
5. Carry out the prescribed indulgenced act mentioned
earlier. Of course, if any one of these requirements are
deficient, a partial indulgence can still be obtained (so it’s
always worth pursuing insofar as it is possible). An
indulgenced act can only be offered either for oneself or
for someone who is deceased. One can only pursue a
plenary indulgence once a day; partial indulgences can
be obtained without limit.
CSA Clarification
I had forgotten to mention a very important point
concerning the current status of our CSA collections.
While it would appear as if St. Augustine is doing
extremely well considering it’s high percentage (last
week: 115%), this includes a very sizable donation that
has been earmarked toward our rectory office roof. If
that sizable donation was not factored into the collection
of CSA, we would be well below 100%. So, please, if
you have not given to our parish CSA for either St.
Augustine or Holy Family, please do so. You may do so
by visiting the following website: https://give.aod.org/. If
you would like further assistance, please contact the
parish office.
Families of Parishes Update
In about two weeks, the Archbishop will be releasing the
finalized list of the Families of Parishes that is taking
place across the entire Archdiocese of Detroit. The
implementation of this different way of looking at parishes
will occur in two waves. The first wave begins in 2021
and the second will be in 2022. All parishes will be
incorporated into a Family of Parishes that will consist of
three to six parishes. These past several months, there
have been many meetings to discuss and plan what this
will look like. There are other dioceses that have
implemented this, but the teams in the Archdiocese are
discerning how this will apply to us. Hopefully you have
been able to read up on the latest developments that our
Vicar has been sharing with us through the vicariate
monthly newsletter, The Drift. If not, I encourage you to
revisit those articles (accessible online here:
https://www.parishesonline.com/find/blue-water-vicariate)
as they offer an explanation and overview that is a bit
more comprehensive than what I am providing here.
The question that is often posed is the obvious one: “Why
are we doing this?” While there are various reasons, I’ll
explain only one of them as I understand it. Someone the
other day asked me about changing Mass times for one
of the parishes. This individual would like to attend Holy
Mass at one’s parish rather than the other but the current
Mass times were not conducive to that. Believe me, I get
it. We all have our own attachments to what we believe is
“our parish”. We know the people, there’s the amount of
history tied to it, the sacraments we made, etc.

However, it can be quite detrimental to have such an
attachment when it causes us to forget that the Catholic
Church is more than just the parish at which I attend
Holy Mass. To illustrate a point: sadly, when a parish
closes, there are some who choose not to go to Holy
Mass any more. People struggle with the feelings of
being abandoned, left wondering why did this happen,
expressing anger, etc. When something like that
happens, one experiences a great loss akin to death.
And as awful as that objectively is, it is far worse for
someone to abandon the practice of the faith! However,
that sometimes is what one does when one is overly
attached to one particular parish. It may not be an easy
route back to finding a Catholic Church that one likes,
but the reality is that Jesus is still waiting for us. The
great consolation our Heavenly Father has to offer us
awaits us at Holy Mass: Jesus in the Holy Eucharist!
Going back to my original point in regard to the
attachments we feel toward our parish: we cannot forget
the world context in which we currently live. Far gone
are the days when every single parish might have a
priest or two (or more)! Do you know that when we pray
for the repose of the soul of a priest at Holy Mass during
the weekend, it is one who has toiled in the vineyard of
our Archdiocese? Translation: we are one priest down
and the trend isn’t stopping: death comes to us all! The
rate by which men are ordained and by which they die is
not favorable. To paraphrase the Archbishop who has
often shared this with his priests: “The calvary is not
coming. This is what we have to work with.” Few men
are choosing to hear the call of Jesus to become His
priest. It is for a number of reasons: the allure of the
world, the accusations, the scandals. It takes a man to
be a priest, to recognize that in the face of that which is
difficult, Jesus remains our true hope, and if Jesus calls
that man to be a priest, he will find the pearl of great
price (Mt 13:44-46). Things of great value are never

without cost (i.e. sacrifice), but the Lord of Hosts does not
go back on His promises: “The saying is sure: If we have
died with him, we shall also live with him; if we endure, we
shall also reign with him; if we deny him, he also will deny
us; if we are faithless, he remains faithful — for he cannot
deny himself” (2 Timothy 2:11-13).
My intent is not to paint a picture of despair with the
decreasing number of available priests in our Archdiocese.
Rather, this necessitates the need to think outside of the
box while maintaining and preserving our Catholic identity
in Jesus Christ. For one, on a small scale, this means that
we can’t have Mass times change according to one’s
preference. It’s the recognition that, at the very least, as
we are a cluster that will be moving toward a Family of
Parishes, this is the circumstance in which we live in: no
longer can it be around what is convenient, but recognizing
this is the time in which we live now, learning to develop a
sense of gratitude each day and asking the Holy Spirit for
help to see it as such, to be given a renewal of heart and
mind, rooted in abandonment to the Divine Providence of
God. The situation is not going to change any time soon.
To this end, the Archbishop has asked us all to be a part of
this Families of Parishes process. Parishioners in various
types of leadership roles from both St. Augustine and Holy
Family have been involved through various discussions,
gathering input to be utilized by the Archdiocese.
Information has been collected in the hopes that they will
use our feedback as they help us transition into this new
venture. We have more meetings yet this month, and I ask
for your continued prayers for our parishes, for our future
Family of Parishes, for the Archdiocese, and for vocations
to the priesthood.
God bless your week.

FA I TH MATT ER S
Jesus told his disciples this parable:
“The kingdom of heaven will be like
ten virgins who took their lamps and
went out to meet the bridegroom.
Five of them were foolish and five
were wise. The foolish ones, when
taking their lamps, brought no oil with
them, but the wise brought flasks of
oil with their lamps. Since the
bridegroom was long delayed, they all became drowsy
and fell asleep. At midnight, there was a cry, 'Behold, the
bridegroom! Come out to meet him!' Then all those
virgins got up and trimmed their lamps. The foolish ones
said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil, for our lamps
are going out.' But the wise ones replied, 'No, for there
may not be enough for us and you. Go instead to the
merchants and buy some for yourselves.' While they
went off to buy it, the bridegroom came and those who
were ready went into the wedding feast with him. Then
the door was locked. Afterwards the other virgins came
and said, 'Lord, Lord, open the door for us!' But he said
in reply, 'Amen, I say to you, I do not know you.'
Therefore, stay awake, for you know neither the day nor
the hour."
TAKE TIME TO CHAT
Compare and contrast the actions of the wise and
foolish virgins.
• What does this parable teach us about being
prepared for Jesus’ second coming?
• What does Jesus mean when he says, “Therefore,
stay awake, for you know neither the day nor the
hour?”
• What are some ways you can prepare for Jesus’
coming this Advent season?
Scottish Shortbread
If you love baking and you’ve got kids who want to be
involved, then these simple authentic shortbread cookies
are just the answer!
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
½ cup confectioners sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour, not sifted
Preheat oven to 325 F. Line two baking sheets with
parchment paper or silicone mats and set aside. Place
all ingredients in a large bowl. Mix with an electric mixer
until completely combined and dough forms. Roll out
dough on a floured surface to about ¼ inch thickness or
slightly thicker. Use cookie cutters, biscuit cutters, or a
pizza slicer to cut out shapes. Place shapes on prepared
baking sheets. Pierce with a fork. Bake 20 minutes or
until just lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack.
FAMILY PRAYER
Pray a decade of the Rosary by oil lamp or candlelight
for your family’s personal intentions and end with the
Fatima prayer.
Fatima Prayer
O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires
of hell. Lead all souls to Heaven, especially those most
in need of Thy mercy. Amen.

Q: I know Advent, Christmas and
Lent all come first, but our family
was discussing a scripture passage
and we are at a loss to understand
something. We are too impatient to
wait for Easter to ask. Why was it
necessary for Judas to betray
Jesus? The Jewish leaders who
wanted to kill him could have found
him without any help from Judas.
Also, why is Peter’s betrayal of
Jesus considered to be less of a
transgression than that of Judas?
A: In Matthew 21:46, scripture tells
us that the Jewish leaders feared the crowds might riot if
they arrested Jesus. Although the Temple leaders could
certainly have found and arrested Jesus when he was
out in public, they felt it was wiser and safer for them to
keep his arrest and trial out of the public eye.
Remember, Jesus was arrested, tried and sentenced to
death all at night. If they could catch Jesus at a private
moment, under the cover of darkness, it would be more
conducive for their plan’s success. To do this would
require some inside knowledge, which Judas provided.
We know that no one could lay a hand on Jesus until his
hour had come. He was always able to walk away. It
wasn’t until such time as Jesus freely chose to lay down
his life that it actually happened. (See Jn 8:20). While
God could have allowed another way for Jesus to be
turned over, the betrayal fulfills one of several hundred
Old Testament prophesies concerning the Messiah.
Psalms 41:9 reads: Even my close friend, who ate my
bread, has turned against me.
We also must consider that betrayal and denial are
fundamentally different. Through betrayal, Judas handed
Jesus over to be killed. Peter’s denial of association with
Jesus, while surely sinful, does not amount to handing
him over for execution. In a weak moment after being up
all night, Peter’s fear precipitated his knee jerk denial.
This is certainly far less consequential than the
deliberate, pre-planned betrayal, for a bounty, that Judas
did.

COVID-19 UPDATE
Please be advised that the current status on the initiative for
preventing the spread of COVID-19 is everyone is asked to
wear a mask and sanitize their hands as they enter the church
and Life Center. Also, everyone is asked to practice social
distancing by staying six feet apart.
For those who are health-vulnerable and cannot attend
Mass in person, Mass will be streamed on Facebook.
Join The Knights of Columbus as they
pray the Rosary next month on
Saturday, December 5, 2020 by the flag
pole at Holy Family at noon.
Join us as we pray for our country,
our Church and for the intentions of the
Knights of Columbus.
Blessed Mother invites us to pray, pray,
pray as she has shared in numerous
visitations. Number three of the 15
promises of the Rosary is, “The Rosary
shall be a powerful armor against hell, it
will destroy vice, decrease sin, and
defeat heresies.”
(http://themostholyrosary.com/15promises.htm).
The rosary has worked miracles and is a powerful tool
against the unrest and the evils in the world. Continue to
pray the Rosary, every day, until we meet together at the
Flag Pole.
See you there!
There are a number of non-perishable items we can use in the
pantry to prepare for Thanksgiving. At this time the following
items would be very helpful: jelly, pancake mix, syrup, instant
oatmeal, Spaghetiios, canned ravioli, soup, pork and beans,
canned fruit, tuna fish, macaroni and cheese, rice and noodle side
packets, Hamburger and Tuna Helper, granola bars, individual
pudding cups, four-packs of toilet paper, and hand soap.
Anything you can do to help out would be
greatly appreciated. As we get closer to
Thanksgiving I will be asking for turkeys
and potatoes.
May God bless you and your families.

Kinder-Garden Corner
Each morning in Kindergarten we add an arrow to
count our days in school. A few years ago I decided to
add something to our arrows - a blessing. Each day
one Kindergartener is asked to tell a blessing in his or
her life. I ask them to tell me a blessing, something
that they are glad God gave them. When I began to do
this, I wasn’t sure what to expect. My little ones did not
fail to make me proud. Their blessings have included
favorite toys, favorite foods, pets, friends, family
members, teachers, God’s gifts of nature, Mary,
Joseph, Jesus and God Himself. As I wait each day to
write their blessing on the arrow, I watch little brows
furrow as they think about what they want to say. They
know it will be a couple of weeks before they get to
name a blessing again, so they want to make sure they
say something special. I can tell how special their
blessing is to them because they either smile or look
very solemn. They understand how lucky we are to
have so many blessings in our lives, and they are
grateful for them. Some years their classmates will
comment - saying how sweet or nice the blessing is -
and other years they will just nod their heads in
appreciation for what was said. We talk about always
respecting our friends’ blessings, because there is no
right or wrong when counting our blessings.
The craziness of this year has made me more
conscious of my blessings. I was thankful for the time I
spent with my family. I was thankful that all of my
children were home with me during quarantine. I even
tried to find the blessings in things that made me sad.
We couldn’t be together in school, but I was blessed
with a phenomenal group of parents who helped their
children get through distance learning. I was sad I
couldn’t see my little ones each day, but I was blessed
with Zoom meetings that made me smile. I was
frustrated with technology, but I was blessed with a
wonderful, supportive principal and other teachers who
could relate and were sympathetic. Our school was
blessed with wonderful people who donated flowers
and pumpkins to help with crucial funding that was
impacted by quarantine.
God truly works in mysterious ways. Sometimes we
just need to slow down and see what He is showing us.
Life gets crazy - don’t forget to take a breath and look
for the blessings in each day.
May your blessings be bountiful!
