REFLECTION
Welcome
Stained Glass Manifestations
We have very beautiful churches in our Archdiocese. The various religious art pieces and sacramentals enrich our life of prayer, such as the Stations of the Cross and the statues. As a child, I remember staring at the beautiful stained glass windows in my parish church. The sun shone beautifully through the colored glass and brought the picture to life more vibrantly. Through the centuries, the art of creating more detailed pictures of saints has grown, and still today, they lift our eyes upward.
This weekend we celebrate two events in the church: the Feast of All Saints and Vocation Awareness Week. Both lead us to sanctity. When we were baptized, we were christened with the name our parents gave us. At Confirmation we choose a saint whose life touches us in some way and becomes our intercessor.
Saints are very important in our faith formation because they inspire and encourage us, on our journey to holiness. I remember a sister from my religious education class told us, “Saints are human beings. They become a saint the moment they know they are loved by God.” Wow, simple, profound, and yet a challenge.
Two years ago on the parish pilgrimage to France, Spain and Portugal, we stood on the ground
where St. Dominic, St. Teresa of Avila, and St. Ignatius of Loyola lived. They once walked this earth and now are living legacies and powerful witnesses to Christ’s love in their lives. They are intercessors for us. Also among the “communion of saints” are those loved ones in our lives who died and continue to intercede on our behalf in heaven. This could be your grandparents, parents, siblings, children or friends. Their faith lives on in us.
We celebrate the call to serving the church during Vocation Awareness Week. We rejoice for all vocations to ordained ministry: priests and deacons, those called to the married state, and the lay ministers dedicated to the work of serving the Church. We are all called to holiness. We are grateful that God continues to call men and women to ministry, where they give witness to God’s love through their unique vocation. Each of us can be that “walking saint” in our world, leading others to Christ through our words and actions. We are strengthened when we walk together in that path for holiness. It is not an easy task. Christ calls us to discipleship where we can be a stained glass window, manifesting the love of God that shines in and through our lives. My friends, it’s a blessing to know you as living saints in the making.

You may feel especially vulnerable and you may want to pay more attention to self-care. Coping with grief during the Holidays is the perfect way to care for oneself and honor the person who has died. All are welcome! To register, please contact Suzette at [email protected] or 262.781.3480, Ext. 226. This is a free event.

THANK YOU to our:
Wonderful CUSTOMERS for their patience and warm attitude. Thanks for following the traffic flow and understanding when you had to wait. We do this for you. We hope you enjoyed the meal. We did our best given the unanticipated response, but we ran out of some food items from time to time. Maxims kept restocking our supplies including fish, tartar, and bread. We ran out of kid’s mac & cheese towards the end. Our apologies if we missed an item in your meal.
PARTNERS at RJ Schinner and American Cylinder who supply the clam shells and the LP Gas
FRIENDS from MAXIM’S, especially the four men battering and frying the food non-stop for almost 5 hours
The Thursday and Friday SET-UP TEAM and the Friday and Saturday CLEAN-UP TEAM. It takes a team to put this together and then make it look like nothing occurred.
The VOLUNTEERS who smiled while working and standing 3 ½ hours to assemble and deliver the meals, direct the traffic, and converse with those in the cars. The team was a mix of grade school and high school students, committed adults, staff, and Clergy, including “a Beast.” Your attitude and efforts are amazing!
When is the next fish fry? We are looking at Lent (March) and will make a decision as the dates approach. We would love to host a sit-down meal, as the fish fry is a community-building event. Stay tuned and again THANK YOU!

What’s Happening?
The Kairos for Kids class did a service project in the form of reverse trick or treat for the Ronald McDonald House. The class donated candy and trinkets to assemble treat bags. They were able to provide 57 bags that Mrs. Irvine dropped off just before Halloween.
This week everyone will be talking about Saints and All Saints and All Souls days. We pray for those holy men and women that we look up to as well as remember those who have passed away and are on their journey to heaven.
Thank you for your prayers and support of our families and children of the parish!

Knight Pride
Three years ago, we began a campus ministry program at St. Dominic Catholic School. Middle School students who were on fire with their faith worked together with faculty advisors to plan ways for students to engage in their shared beliefs student to student. The students involved with campus ministry have done much to provide Advent and Lenten activities for the school community, prayer services to focus on our love of Jesus, and to lead by example on how to live a virtuous life. This year, we are implementing a leadership team to campus ministry. The leadership is comprised of eighth grade students who applied to serve in this capacity for their peers.
Congratulations to Mary Grace B, Ellana B, Kaitlyn K, Olivia K, and Jack K. Way to go, Knights! We look forward to seeing where the Holy Spirit takes you!

St. Charles Borromeo
Feasts Day: November 4 Born: 1538—Died: 1584
Patron: bishops, cardinals, seminarians, and spiritual leaders
One of the most important figures of the Counter-Reformation in Italy.
His uncle was Pope Pius IV. The pope depended upon him in directing the third convocation of the Council of Trent (1562–63). When the council closed, Borromeo served in executing its decrees and was largely instrumental in bringing out the Roman catechism in 1566.
Borromeo’s heroic behavior during the plague of 1576–78 won him much respect, and he gave away much of his wealth to feed the hungry and care for the sick in Milan.

The Bookshelf
There are many online resources to help us grow in faith. Sometimes it might be hard to choose which ones to check out. On our website we have an area dedicated to exploring Catholicism. On our menu bar, click EXPLORE and then Explore Catholicism. Hope you find something new to feed your faith!
Do you love to read? Under EXPLORE, we also have the BOOKSHELF. The Bookshelf contains recommended books and reviews from staff and parishioners alike. Sort by category or by the author of the review.
This week, our latest book recommendation is right on time for All Saints Day!
My Life with the Saints by James Martin, SJ
“My Life with the Saints,” by James Martin, SJ is my favorite book written by him so far. I have recommended to others and given it as gfits.
In this book James Martin shares his personal connection to each of the saints or Saints and his personal stories of his relationship with them.
He gives you just enough information to want to learn more, way more about each of these amazing people and what’s more, you want to have the same type of relationships with the saints as he does.
I also found myself needing to stop and write down books that he was recommending to learn more about each saint.
I might go so far as to say, “My Life with the Saint’s: made me fall in love with the saints. ~Meg Picciolo, Director of Marketing Communications

National Vocation Awareness Week November 1-7, 2020 This annual celebration of the Catholic Church in the United States is dedicated
to promoting vocations to ordained ministry, married state, and consecrated life
through prayer and education, and to renew our prayers and support for those
who are considering one of these particular vocations.
FAMILY PRAYER FOR VOCATIONS:
Loving and Generous God,
it is You who call us by name and ask us to follow You.
Help us to grow in the Love and Service of our Church as we experience it today.
Give us the energy and courage of Your Spirit to shape its future
Grant us faith-filled leaders who will embrace Christ's Mission of love and justice.
Bless the Parish of St. Dominic by raising up dedicated and generous leaders
from our families and friends who will serve Your people as Sisters,
Priests, Brothers, Deacons, Married Couples and Lay Ministers.
Inspire us to know You better and open our hearts to hear Your call.
We ask this through our Lord.
Read about Kaitlyn Trokan, who is an aspirant for the Salesians, on the on
the reverse.
Feeling called? Please contact your parish priest, deacon or Fr. John Burns who promotes
vocations to consecrated life at: [email protected]. It’s never too early to discern your call.
A WEEK OF PRAYER FOR VOCATIONS
In gratitude for those who have humbly served and touched our lives through their ministry and those who
continue to minister through their vocations.
November 1: Pray for Priests, especially Fr. Dennis and
Fr. Aaron and all the priests who have served
St. Dominic Catholic Parish. Pray for those in priestly
formation, especially seminarian Alex Kren, our Teaching
Parish Seminarian, and parishioner, Aaron Siehr, who is
in Second Year Theology.
November 2: Pray for Deacons, especially Deacon Larry,
Deacon Greg, Deacon Kurt and all deacons who have
served St. Dominic Catholic Parish, and for Jeff
Kucharski, who is currently in 2nd year formation.
November 3: Pray for Vocations to Consecrated Life,
especially parishioner, Kaitlyn Troken, a aspirant in the
Salesian community, as well as all women in
discernment such as the Carmelites, Schoenstatt,
Franciscans, etc.
November 4: Pray for engaged and married couples.
November 5: Pray for those called to the single state,
and lay ministers in the Church.
November 6: Pray for our Holy Father, all Cardinals and
Bishops, especially Archbishop Jerome Listecki, Bishop
Jeffrey Haines, and Bishop James Schuerman.
November 7: Pray for religious brothers, Carmelites
(Holy Hill), Capuchins, Jesuits, etc.
Christ has no body but yours,
no hands, no feet on earth, but
yours, yours are the eyes with
which He looks with
compassion on this world.
~ St. Teresa of Ávila

Get to know Kaitlyn Trokan, currently a first year aspirant with the Salesians.
1. When did you know God was calling you?
I had thoughts of religious life as an option starting in childhood, but I was not interested. In October, I started
attending Cor Mariae, the Archdiocese of Milwaukee's women's discernment group. Through these meetings, it
became clearer to me that God may be calling me to religious life, and I needed to stop resisting it. The call became
clearer in January when I was on a Brew City Catholic young adult retreat.
2. How did you know it was your vocation?
Right now, I am in my first year of formation with Salesians - aspirancy. The purpose of aspirancy, and all four years
of formation, is to determine if it really is my vocation. Just as a couple dates for a few years before engagement or
marriage to see if they are really called to that vocation with that person, so it is with religious life. Right now, God as
invited me to be an aspirant, and only He knows what my future is.
3. What attracted you to your order?
I met Salesians for the first time when I was a Fulbright English teacher in Košice, Slovakia. I taught alongside Salesian
brothers and sisters in my school. My host family and students were involved in their youth center. They were the
first Sisters that showed me that they are also normal women. Salesians are also the largest order of women
religious in the world at about 12,000 currently. I love the international spirit and ties that flow through the
community.
4. What is your normal day like?
Each day is different. We have 7 classes plus about 15
hours of ministry a week. A typical day is wake up at
5:00 AM followed by morning prayer and Mass, drop-
off duty at the attached high school, breakfast, and a
class. Then we have lunch and another class or
ministry at the local elementary school. Starting at
5:00 PM is evening prayer then dinner, chores, and
recreation. I am typically in bed about 9:00 PM.
5. What is your community’s mission and how do you
see yourself changing the world?
Salesians focus on the evangelization of the young.
This happens through schools, summer camps, youth
centers, campus ministry, and retreat centers to name
a few. I have my degree in education and have always
wanted to work with young people. I see myself
changing the world by serving future generations,
especially those most in need.
Blessings, Kaitlin

Loving God isn’t merely a matter of fervor in
our hearts, but that it must be expressed in
doing good for the sake of others.
Thank you to everyone who made our Truck
Collection and Adult Coat Drive such a success.
We collected a total of 351 coats. These
donations will help continue our mission of
helping those in need.
In addition, we were able to help a couple with
two children, who both had health issues, by
preventing a utility shutoff while getting back
on their feet.
Beginning in November, our collections for
the St. Dominic St. Vincent de Paul Society will
