From The Pastor’s Desk

Dear Parishioners,

As I mentioned in my column last weekend, I would like to invite any single man who may be interested in a vo-cation to the priesthood to join me for a Vocational Awareness Seminar at the parish rectory on Tuesday, November 14th beginning at 5:30 p.m. We will have a meal followed by presentations by Fr. Steven Zehler, associate vocations director, and one of our seminari-ans. If you would like to attend, please RSVP the parish secretary.

This coming Thursday we will have a music concert by a traveling Russian choral group called ChoRuss. The con-cert will take place in the parish church and begin at 7 p.m. A love offering will be taken at the end of the ser-vice.

The second collection for this weekend is for the Hurri-cane Maria Relief Effort. The devastation in the islands, especially Puerto Rico and St. Thomas, was very bad. Many people still live without electricity and clean drinking water. Please be generous in your contribution for this fund.

And now some funnies:

#1 – A man named Fred had tickets to game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals, right at center ice. As Fred sat down, a man came and asked him if anyone was going to occu-py the seat next to him. "No," said Fred, "sit right down. The seat will be empty." "That's incredible!" said the man. "Who in their right mind would reserve a seat like this for the Stanley Cup and then not use it?" Fred said, "Well, actually, the seat belongs to me. I was supposed to come with my wife, but she passed away. This is the first Stanley Cup we haven't been to together since we got married nearly 50 years ago." "Oh... I'm sorry to hear that. That's terrible. But couldn't you find someone else - a friend or relative, or even a neighbor - to take her seat?" Fred shook his head sadly. "No. They're all at the funer-al."

#2 - Three men went out to play a round of golf, Moses,

Jesus and an old man. Moses tee'd off first, and the ball landed in the water. He parted the water, and hit the ball in for a birdie. Jesus tee'd off next, and the ball landed in the water. He then walked on the water, and hit the ball in for a bird-ie.

#2 - Three men went out to play a round of golf, Mo-ses, Jesus and an old man. Moses tee'd off first, and the ball landed in the water. He parted the water, and hit the ball in for a birdie. Jesus tee'd off next, and the ball landed in the wa-ter. He then walked on the water, and hit the ball in for a birdie. Lastly the old man tee'd off, but before the ball could hit the water, a fish jumped out and caught the ball in it's mouth. Then an eagle swooped down and caught the fish. Lightening then struck near the eagle, frightening it, and it dropped the fish. When the fish hit the ground, it dropped the ball in for a perfect hole in one. Jesus and Moses turn to the old man, and Jesus said, "Dad, if you don't quit playing like that, we're not going to bring you anymore."

#3 – A man loved to play golf. It was the one activity he looked forward to every week. One Saturday, he returned home from a scheduled three-some much earlier than his wife expected. She asked him why he was home so early. "Do you want to play golf with someone who whines about every shot, complains about everything on the course, and makes noises when you're trying to make an important shot?", he asked. "No, I don't," answered his wife. "Neither did they!"

#4 - There were two good ol' boys from warmer climes who loved to fish. They wanted to do some ice fishing that they'd heard about in Canada, so they took off to try it. The lake was frozen nicely, so they stopped just before they got to the lake at a little bait shop and got all their bait and tackle. One of them said, "We're going to need an ice pick." After they got their equipment, they took off. In about two hours, one of them was back at the shop and said, "We're going to need another dozen ice picks." He sold him the picks, and the good ol' boy left. In about an hour, he was back at the shop agaain and said, "We're going to need all the ice picks you've got." The shop owner couldn't believe it. "By the way," he asked, "how are you fellows doing?" "Not very well at all," he said. "We don't even have the stupid boat in the water yet."
