STEPHEN MINISTRY
Listening, Comforting, Caring
Under direct supervision of Fr. Mark Knestout, this is an ongoing pastoral care ministry. St. Stephen Ministers are members of the parish, intensely trained to care for people who are experiencing a loss, or going through difficult times or life transitions. Please contact: Deacon Julio Blanco-Eccleston for assistance as a care receiver or to get involved in the ministry. Tel: 703-821-1654; [email protected].
Mass on Thanksgiving Day, November 24, will be at 9.00 a.m. The offertory will be for the hungry of Sacred Heart Parish, DC. Parishioners are asked to bring a non-perishable food item for St. Martin’s to Mass - please leave in the normal collection basket in the vestibule. Please also bring the bread you plan to share at your Thanksgiving meal so that it can be blessed. If you prefer not to bring your own bread, you may avail yourself of the blessed bread that St. Bartholomew Church will offer.
SOCIAL CONCERNS
The Poor Box for the month of November is for Bread for the City, a nonprofit agency which provides clothing, food, medical care, legal assistance, and social services to an average of 10,000 needy DC residents each month. Sister Betsy Hartson RSCJ seeks gently-used and working laptops with power adapters for Living Wages, a nonprofit educational program for DC residents age 25 and over seeking their high school diplomas. If you can help, please leave your donation at the rectory. Our parishioners have generously donated to Sister Betsy's work in the past. We will be having our annual food drive to benefit Sacred Heard Parish for Thanksgiving. We will be collecting food donations through November 18 at the back of the Church. Please see the flyer in this week’s bulletins for more information. Decorate for Christmas - spread Christmas cheer by decorating a Catholic Charities site for the holidays. Decorate the door of a group residence or the common area at an emergency shelter and more! These sites are located in Washington, DC, Montgomery County and Prince George’s County. Some ideas: Bring a wreath to hang on the door; set up and decorate a tree in a common area; hang streamers in the entry/common area/dining room; host a party or provide a meal for the residents; make cards for the residents; provide gifts for the residents. To get involved, email: [email protected].

ST. BARTHOLOMEW’S CHURCH BETHESDA, MD NOVEMBER 13, 2016
TRIGESIMO TERCER DOMINGO ORDINARIO 13 DE NOVIEMBRE 2016 El templo de Jerusalén despertaba la admiración de propios y extraños, era un ícono de modernidad y belleza arquitectónica y a la vez el corazón de la piedad judía. Por eso cuando Jesús anuncia su demolición, no puede sino alarmar a sus oyentes. El camino a recorrer es arduo y difícil. El Evangelio nos habla de amenazas de destrucción, de persecuciones, de ideologías falsas, de guerras y calamidades. Estos peligros acechan la fe y las costumbres cristianas. Pero, no tengamos miedo. Abramos las puertas a Cristo. El discurso profético de Jesús abre una perspectiva nueva: hay que interpretar los acontecimientos del mundo en el horizonte de la cercanía del reino de Dios. Debemos perseverar pues es el tiempo del testimonio y para esto debemos estar atentos para no caer en engaños que nos aparten del camino a la eternidad, aun en estos tiempos que parecen lejanos desde que se escribieran estos Evangelios.
