Happy Thanksgiving! In spite of the divisions we face in our coun-try, the threats of war that are troubling or whatever problems we may be facing in our families or personal lives, we still have so much for which we should be
grateful. It would be unfortunate if our gratitude leads us no farther than the dinning room table. Rather, as Catho-lics, we should be led to the Eucharistic table where we offer the greatest prayer of thanksgiving possible, the Sac-rifice of the Mass. Join your parish family for our Thanksgiving Celebration on Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. and have a blessed holiday.
Another way we express our gratitude is by generosi-ty. As mentioned in last week's bulletin, today the Church in the United States receives donations for the Campaign for Human Development. Thank you for your generosity to this most worthy cause.
Pope Francis has declared today (November 19th) as the "Day of the Poor." I intend to speak about this in my homily but the purpose of this day is to draw our attention to the most needy among us and as the Holy Father chal-lenges us, "to move to concrete deeds instead of empty words." Through our contributions to the Food Bank and the work of the St. Vincent de Paul Society, we do good things. However, we can always become more aware, more involved and more generous.
Many thanks to all who organized and participated in "Family Night" last Wednesday. We had such a good turnout and everyone enjoyed themselves. Such events help us to build the bonds of communion, which in turn strengthens our parish.
We are looking forward to our Reverse Raffle dinner on the 30th. There are still tickets available. Join us for a wonderful evening.
I will spend some Thanksgiving time with my family so there will be no Mass here on Thursday and Friday.
Have a great week! Fr. John
THE PASTOR’S CORNER
“Well done, my good and faithful servant”
How can you make a return to the Lord for all that he has given you? We respond to God’s love for us by loving him in return, by giving to him our lives as he first gave his life for us. If you feel that God might be calling you or someone you know to give yourself to him as a priest or religious brother or sister, contact the Dio-cese of Owensboro Office of Vocations:
270-683-1545, owensborovocations.com, [email protected], for more information.
VOCATION AWARENESS
TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Earlier this autumn, we looked at how our Eu-charistic Prayers have been enriched by the approval of several new prayers to augment the old Roman Canon. For us, there are the four standard prayers, three for Masses with Children, and the most recent addition, the former Swiss Eucharistic Prayer with four alternative forms (now known as the Eucharis-tic Prayer for Masses for Various Needs and Occa-sions). We also have two Eucharistic Prayers for Masses of Reconciliation. The source for these two prayers is the request by many bishops for a special prayer for the “Holy Year” of 1975. Originally, the committee in charge was commissioned to write a single prayer, but the theme proved so rich that it gave rise to two. The first is based on and develops biblical texts on reconciliation. The second starts with the experience of living in today’s fractured world, and how the Spirit calls us to reconciliation and peace. Not everyone was happy with all this creativity, saying that if too many were published, it would be difficult for the Vatican to control further requests. Everyone thought the pope would put strict limits on the prayers, but in the end he said he was willing to open doors that had long been closed. Alt-hough he approved them for a period of only three years, they were never formally removed from the Sacramentary and have been incorporated into the new Roman Missal.

HELP PLEASE!
As you prepare your homes for the Advent/Christmas season, please remember your church home! We will be short handed this season because one of our faithful volunteers will be unable to clean. If you can spare a few hours each week to straighten pews, sweep, dust, or clean windows, we would ap-preciate it. Please participate in our regular clean-ing sessions on the first Saturday of each month.

participating in a Holy Hour at Christ the King Catho-
lic Church. Bishop Medley is inviting all 78 parishes
to come together in prayer before the Blessed Sacra-
ment with the intention of promoting Evangelization

the same time with the same intention!

PARISH & FAMILY LIFE
SHARING OUR GIFTS
Autumn is the season for harvest-ing and sharing the fruits of our labors. This week’s scrip-tures use images of the harvest, family life, pregnancy, and investment to de-scribe the abundant harvest in the reign of God. We discover that sharing the gifts we have been given brings eternal rewards for everyone. In the Gospel parable a master en-trusts his possessions to three servants before going on a journey. Each is given some talents. What they do with those talents determines what the master will do with them when he returns. How about us? What are we doing with our talents? How will our Master treat us when he returns?

PRINCIPAL’S CORNER This weekend is our first Archery Tournament of the year and we wish our Archery team good luck! The Bas-ketball team played West Hopkins on Thursday. Alt-hough they lost 15-22, they have improved so much since the season started. We are very proud of them, and wish them good luck as they play John Paul II in Morganfield on Tuesday. 3-5th Grade students saw the movie Wonder on Friday and Middle School students saw the production of West Side Story at the Glema Mahr Center. Friday was also a STEM day. Students participated in a Thanksgiving themed day. Students built foil canoes and pumpkin catapults. STEM days are days focused on Sci-ence, Technology, Engineering and Math project based learning. This year our school is participating in #iGiveCatholic on Giving Tuesday, November 28. What is #iGiveCatholic? #iGiveCatholic is the first-ever online giving day for the Catholic community. It is a call to share of our blessings with the Church and those the Church helps and supports in our communities. This year, #iGiveCatholic is being celebrated by 17 Cath-olic arch/dioceses across the country: the Archdiocese of Atlanta; Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas; Archdio-cese of Mobile; Archdiocese of New Orleans; Diocese of Allentown; Diocese of Austin; Diocese of Baton Rouge; Diocese of Biloxi; Diocese of Helena, Montana; Diocese of Houma-Thibodaux; Diocese of Jackson; Diocese of Knoxville; Diocese of Lexington; Diocese of Lubbock; Diocese of Memphis; Diocese of Owensboro; and Dio-cese of Paterson. To celebrate our unique Catholic heritage #iGiveCatholic is a giving day created to rally the Catholic community on #GivingTuesday, November 28th – a global day of giving. Secure, tax-deductible donations to eligible Catholic parishes, schools, ministries, and not-for-profit organizations located in the participating arch/dioceses will be accepted on iGiveCatholic.org during a 24-hour period. Please see the bulletin flyer to find out how to participate and support our school during this giving season. Tuesday is our Annual Thanksgiving Mass and Dinner. We will have Mass at 10:00 am and Family lunch fol-lows in the Parish Hall. Hopefully you had a chance to RSVP this week, but if not, all our school families are welcome! Cost is $4 per adult and $2 per child. May God Bless US All! Beth Herrmann

CHRIST THE KING PRAYERLINE
THANK YOUR MUSIC MINISTERS!
The Feast of St. Cecilia, the patron-ess of musicians is Wednesday, November 22.
BOOK OF REMEMBRANCE We remember our friends and fam-ily who have gone before us in faith. During the month of Novem-ber, we have a book displayed be-side the font. Please write family and friends who have died. We will remember them in prayer through-out the month. NO RCIA THIS WEEK— RCIA will meet again on Tuesday, November 28. Our topic is Places in a Catholic Church and The Church Year. We also welcome Catholics who would like to have a re-fresher in their Catholic faith. Please call Patty Brown for more information. HYMNALS On December 3, the first Sunday of Advent, we will begin using a permanent hymnal. The reason for doing so is to add dignity and solemnity to our worship—our current worship resource is disposable. Our new hymnals do not include the Sunday readings. We chose a hymnal without readings because, scripture is proclaimed at Mass, not read. For those who are hard of hearing, we will keep a few books beside each door. BUSY BAG Located at the front doors of the church, a parishioners has donated a “Busy Bag” for when your child or grand-child is upset or wiggly during Mass. Please borrow the bag during church and then return it to its place following Mass.

“Should you not then have put my money in the bank
so that I could have got it back with interest on my return?”
Jesus told several parables about people given re-sponsibility for different quantities of talents and the consequences for the recipients who used their talents well in contrast to the recipients who failed to use their talents at all. Jesus seems to act harshly toward the person in the stories who receives the least amount and does nothing with it. The lesson of theses stories is not that the peo-ple who receive the least amount of talents did not have much to work with. Jesus is teaching us that no matter how much or how little for which God makes us responsible, God expects us to make our best effort to make the most of it. It is not about the amount of the talents. It is about the amount of the effort. A steward is a person who is given the responsibility for the preservation and productivity of the possessions of an-other. Everything we are and have comes from God. He expects us to be good stewards and make the most of it.
