Fr. Ron’s Ramblings

A great big Thank You to our Portuguese parishioners for their very successful Malassada sale a couple of weekends ago. They realized an $800 profit for the parish. That money will be used to help finance the new walkway which was recently installed in the front of the rectory. It replaced two layers of broken concrete!!

On a sad note, this past week Dr. Jose Figueiredo, one of our Portuguese parishioners, died. Dr. Figueiredo was a long time parishioner who was a leader in the community and gave of himself to help the parish and many others. He was also the Portuguese representative on the Pastor’s Advisory Council. We will miss him, and pray for him and his wife Julia and their family.

Also on a more mundane note, it is time once again for our Grand Annual Collection. As you know, we depend upon your generosity each year at this time to augment our weekly offertory through this collection. Those on our mailing list should have received a letter, from me, along with the parish financial statement. I am most grateful for your ongoing support in the offertory collections; but we also need at least $50,000 in this appeal just to meet our operating costs. As you know, we have trimmed our expenses as much as possible at this time and we hope that you can find it in your hearts and in your budgets to be generous once again.

Thanksgiving Day is fast approaching and I find myself grateful for all of you and you support in so many ways. May God continue to bless you all and give you His love during these upcoming holidays!

Um imenso obrigado aos paroquianos Portuguêses pelo seu grande sucesso na venda das malassadas no fim de semana passádo. Eles conseguiram um lucro de 800 dolares para beneficio da paróquia. O dinheiro será usado para ajuda de financiar a reparação do chão exterior da entrada na frente da rectoria. Substituiu duas camadas partidas do cimento. Um triste momento, neste fim de semana passado faleceu o Dr. José Figueiredo membro dos paroquianos Portugueses. O Dr. Figueiredo foi um paroquiano de longa data e bom dirigente da comunidade e deu muito de si próprio para ajudar a paróquia e muitos outros. Ele foi tambem o português representatante consultivo do concilio do Pastor. Nós sentiremos a sua falta e rezaremos por ele pela sua esposa Juvenália e familia. Numa mundane lembrança; já é tempo outra vêz da nossa grande colecta anual. Como sabem, nós dependemos da vóssa generosidade cada ano nesta época para aumentar o nosso ofertório seminal através desta colecta. Todos os que estão na nossa lista de endereços devem ter recebido uma carta minha juntamente com o relatório financial da paróquia. Estou muito grato pelo vosso continuo suporte na colecta do ofertório, mas nós estamos necessitando de pelo menos 50 mil dolares neste apelo para suportar os costos operativos da paróqia. Como sabem temos diminuido as nossas despesas o mais possivel e esperamos que vós podeis ter nos vóssos corações e no vosso orçamento pessoal alguma generosidade mais esta vez. O dia de Acção de Graças (Thanksgiving) está se aproximando e eu próprio me sinto muito agradecido e reconhecido a todos vós e pelo vosso suporte em muitas variadas mneiras. Que Deus continue cobrindo-vos com Suas Graças e dando sempre do Seu amor durante os dias festivos que se estão aproximando. Que assim seja!

NOVEMBER IS DIABETES

AWARENESS MONTH

Early detection and treatment of diabetes can decrease the risk of developing the complications of diabetes. The following symptoms of diabetes are typical. However, some people with Type 2 diabetes have symptoms so mild that they go unnoticed. Common symptoms are urinating often, feeling very thirsty, feeling very hungry even though you are eating, extreme fatigue, blurry vision, cuts/bruises that are slow to heal, weight loss even though you are eating more and tingling, pain, or numbness in the hands and feet. There are several ways to diagnose diabetes, all of them are through blood glucose testing. There are several risk factors for Type 2 diabetes. They are being 45 or older, having a family history, being overweight, not exercising regularly, having high blood pressure, having low HDL, also known as “good” cholesterol and/or high levels of triglycerides, certain racial and ethnic Groups (Non-Hispanic Blacks, Hispanic/Latino Americans, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders and American Indians and Alaska Natives). If you feel like you may have diabetes, speak with your doctor about getting tested. You can prevent or delay the onset of Type 2 diabetes through a healthy lifestyle. Change your diet, increase your level of physical activity, maintain a healthy weight…with these positive steps, you can stay healthier longer and reduce your risk of diabetes. For more information go to www.diabetes.org

The annual Christmas wreath sale will begin weekend of November

30th, after all Masses! Long lasting, scentful, double-faced Balsam Fir wreaths with large red ribbon will be available in the lot between garage and Parish Center! Only $15 each!
