Parish Communitotes
Our Mission To love and know more
profoundly our Catholic Faith, worship the Lord, minister to our members and to further
spread our faith in the community.
Prayer List – John Finocchiaro, Maureen Lennox, Julie Callahan, Krissy Register, Una
Llewellyn, James Peterson, Tony Antelo, The James Wetzel family, Alex Powell, Corey Bock, Christian Bock, Cheryl Siddons, Liz Madden, and all members of the military especially those in harm’s way.
At the beginning of each month, The Prayer List will start a new prayer list. If someone, friend or family is sick, please let us know by emailing eileenh,[email protected] and we will list them in the bulletin.
RESPECT LIFE “Only with prayer - prayer that storms the heavens for justice and mercy, prayer that cleanses our hearts and souls - will the culture of death that surrounds us today be replaced with a culture of life." -Pastoral Plan for Pro-Life Activities, U.S. Catholic Bishops– 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 25 (week 32) I weigh three pounds now and will gain about a half pound each week until birth. It’s really cramped now, so Joseph has assumed the fetal position. I can see, but I don’t have 20/20 vision and I won’t have 20/20 vision until I’m 7 to 9 years old – hopefully. Mom is pretty uncomfortable. Fatigue is her constant companion. Sleeping on her left side may help, as it will remove some pressure on the nerves and blood vessels in her back. “For you love all things that are and loathe nothing that you have made; for what you hated, you would not have fashioned.” (Wisdom 11:24)
BREAKFAST: Please come and Join the parish November 1st for coffee, food and fellowship. Please bring a dish to share. We look forward to seeing.

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]

Catholic Campaign for Human Development Parish Appeal Across the country, work is being done to fight poverty at its roots in places that offer inadequate education, tolerate unaffordable housing, and turn away from communities in need. 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.
