RESPECT LIFE “‘Perhaps one of your friends has become pregnant unexpectedly. As someone who has been there, I encourage you to support your friend in her new journey of being a mother. Not sure how to help or what to say?’ Learn more at www.goo.gl/e60H2Z.” — USCCB 2015-16 Respect Life Program “10 Ways to Support Her When She’s Unexpectedly Expecting” – Tradition teaches us Christ was conceived on the Feast of the Annunciation. We will watch the parallel development of “Joseph” in the womb beginning on March 25 (Feast of the Annunciation) until December 25. The Office of Human Life and Dignity is making available a series of bulletin messages describing the fetal development of “Joseph.” Each week we will send out the messages to the parishes. Please consider inserting these messages in the bulletin for the upcoming weeks and each week through December 25.
Fetal Development of "Joseph” October 18 (week 31) I must be getting younger. The wrinkles I had everywhere are slowly disappearing as I gain more and more weight. I used to have a big head, but now my body is catching up. I can move my eyes, but it is still pretty dark in here. I can hear my mom. I can’t wait to see her. Joseph takes mom’s breath away as he kicks her lungs and ribs. The third trimester is filled with aches and pains and general discomfort for Mom, but she knows that soon she will see her baby. “I was a stranger and you welcomed me…whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me.” (Matthew 25:35,40)

DEAR PARISHONERS OF TRANSFIGURATION OF JESUS CATHOLIC CHURCH: The FOOD PANTRY at St. Joseph the Worker Catholic Church is in critical need of volunteers. This year 622 individual families from Duplin and Pender Counties received food. The Food Pantry is receiving/purchasing food on Tuesdays and distributing food every Thursday from 2-4pm to on average 70 families per week. We need to increase our volunteer base. This would allow for a rotating schedule that will provide volunteers the opportunity to work as much as they desire. To date we have provided 78,700 pounds of food, by way of scheduling families a pick up time every four weeks. This has resulted in 2,476 boxes of food being provided to many needy families. In the book by Steven Scott ‘The Richest Man Who Ever Lived: King Solomon’s Secrets to Success, Wealth, & Happiness, He provides the secret to happiness: “be grateful for all the things in our lives, by being generous,” which is to say - live a life of stewardship, a life where our time, talent, and our treasure are all put at the service of Christ and His Gospel. I sincerely hope that enough volunteers will come forward to fill this critical need that serves so many needy people within our community. Those interested please contact; Mike Orlowski 910- 285-5041 E-MAIL: [email protected] PARISH COUNCIL MEETING The meetings are open to all registered parishioners. Contact Huck Booz if you wish to attend. If you wish to speak at the meeting, it must be on the agenda. Minutes of the meetings are recorded and available upon request. The November meeting will be held on Thursday November 12 at 10:00 am.

The Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD) is justice and charity in action through the Church. CCHD funds local community groups that work to change the systems that keep them in poverty. Through CCHD and its beneficiaries, we manifest Catholic social teaching and carry out Jesus’ mission to “bring glad tidings to the poor. / . . . to proclaim liberty to captives / and recovery of sight to the blind, / to let the oppressed go free” (Lk 4:18). In the last 10 years, nearly $1,000,000 in grant funding has been distributed to local organizations in our diocese. Your support during the November collection will create lasting change. Fight poverty in America. Defend human dignity. Give to the CCHD Collection.
