MALLIA'S MOMENTS

by Fr. Joe Mallia

Happy Feast of Christ the King! For us as

believers this is kind of a new year's eve

celebration because next Sunday begins a

new liturgical season and a new year of

grace. We should really celebrate this

time. It is a good thing that in this past year

we have celebrated a full cycle of reflection

on the life of Jesus on earth and we also

contemplated the mystery of God's love

within our own lives. We shared in the joyful

times and we have shared in sad times, but

in all of it we have sought out the presence of

God. Think about all the service we were

able to provide, the education we gave to

children and adults, the laughs and outreach

to the community through our festivals and

the prayers we offered in worship of

God. Think about the people we welcomed

into the faith through the RCIA this past year

and the improvements we were able to make

to our buildings all while still improving our

overall financial health. There has been so

much good that has been accomplished this

year that we would be wrong not to rejoice in

what God has done for us. It has been a

year full of grace and we look forward to a

new year of grace as well.

The worst thing we can do is to only focus

on negative things. Faith requires us to

contemplate the whole of our reality, the good

and the bad. The ability to reflect allows us

to see where we have been and gives us a

clear direction to where we are going. That is

why it is so important that at these end of the

year celebrations, we take the opportunity to

take a deep spiritual breath, understand how

God has been active among us and to see

where we need to open ourselves up to a

more complete cooperation with God. In all

that we do and pray let God be praised and

may Jesus always be our King. God bless.

Thank you

I want to thank all those who had a hand in

making the auction at St. Augustine School

such a wonderful event and for the great

generosity of time, talent and treasure that people gave to raise

money for our school. I am fully aware of the hard work of a few

people and I am eternally grateful to them. That being said, we are in

need of more volunteers to run the auction. If you attended our

school, sent your children here in the past, presently have

grandchildren who are attending or you are just a kind hearted person

looking for a way to give a better future to children, we need you to

help coordinate our auction for next year. Please call the school office

for more information. Thank you in advance.

MALLIA’S MOMENTS Continued from Page 1

Christmas Masses and Penance Services

This year again we will be offering a number of

masses and penance services during the Advent

Season, and of course special masses for Christmas

and the feast of Mary the Mother of God, on January

1. This schedule will be in the church paper but also

included on the inside flap of the Christmas card that you

will shortly be receiving from us. Please post that

schedule in a place that you will not forget it. The cards

will be mailed out so that you should get them around

the first week of Advent. If you don't get a card, please

call us and let us know so that we can make sure you

are registered with the correct information. If you wish to

receive these mailings and are not yet registered, please

take the opportunity to register at either parish. All those

who are over the age of 18 and are no longer living at

home, should register on their own. This is especially

important if you are planning on getting married from

either parish in the future.

Simple reminder

In case of bad weather during the week, we will

cancel mass if the schools are also closed. Please do

not venture out if the roads are bad. During the

weekends, we always do our best to make sure the

parking lots and sidewalks are cleared before

mass. Either way, if you are not secure in driving or

walking in slippery weather, please use your best

judgment about attending mass. If it is bad on Saturday,

come on Sunday, or if the prediction is bad for Sunday,

come Saturday. I know we all like our routines, but this

time of year we are all held hostage by the occasional

snow storm.

Please be kind

With the holidays coming up, it is very possible to see

a few more people at mass that do not regularly

attend. Please go out of your way to make them feel

welcome, to move over and make room for them to sit,

and to maybe even introduce yourself. I am also urging

the ushers to be especially attentive to helping people

find a seat. It would be even better if we moved to the

front of the church as we arrived so that any late comers

do not need to feel uncomfortable by having to walk up

front and disturb mass by making everyone move

around.

Also, if you have small children, I ask that you please

put the carrier under the seat rather than on the pew

itself. That is a bit more room we need at some of the

masses for people to sit. I do not get upset with crying

babies, but I would ask that any toys that are brought to

church are soft toys rather than hard toys that make

noise when they fall and hit the pews. Thank you.

Finally,

I will be leaving for Malta on November 30th in the

evening and be returning on December 10th. I will be

going back to celebrate the Feast of the Immaculate

Conception. As you know I was appointed a Canon by

the Archbishop of Malta several years ago and as such, I

am urged to return to the parish to share in the various

liturgical rites and to pray with the other Canons. A Canon

was is a priest who is part of specially designated

parishes by the pope. Those priests used to serve

as advisors to the bishop and in case of the death of the

bishop or his retirement, would run the diocese until a new

bishop was named. That is why a Canon is allowed to

wear special vestments during processions and other

celebrations that show his connection to the bishop.

This is a special year for the Church of the Immaculate

Conception in Cospicua Malta. This year we mark the

75th anniversary of the return of the statue and the titular

painting from the church it was taken to during the

bombings during World War II. During the war, the harbor

area of Malta was heavily bombed because of the location

of the British Navy. The priests of the church had the

statue and the painting taken by night out of the church to

a more remote area of the island for safe keeping. They

promised God that if the church was not destroyed during

the bombings, they would carry the statue and the

painting back. Malta was the world’s worst bombed place

during the war because of its strategic location. In fact at

one point of the war, the total tonnage of bombs that fell in

London was falling in Malta every 18 hours. Through the

grace of God, although every building around the church

and even other churches were destroyed, this one was

not. The priests and the population of Malta were faithful

to their word and on the 19th of November, they held a

procession carrying the statue and the painting back.

While I am gone, I will be praying for you, please pray

for me and I will see you when I get back. May the Lord

bless you and Mary our Mother intercede for you.

Save the Date!

Most of us live very busy lives, so we take the time to

mark the important things – birthdays, holidays, weddings,

even doctor appointments – on our calendars.

Men of St. Augustine & Holy Family Parishes: get out

your calendars now and take note of these dates:

February 22 - 24, 2019. Something is happening that you

will NOT want to miss!

Starting on Friday evening, February 22nd we will begin

enjoying our annual men’s retreat at St. Paul of the Cross

Passionist Retreat Center. The retreat lasts until Sunday

morning February 24th and it includes time for reflection

and prayer, delicious meals, sacramental opportunities,

enlightening talks, and a private room and bath for each of

you. Everything, including a chapel and gift shop, is on

one floor and easily accessible to all.

Have questions about the retreat experience?

Contact either Andy Gillis at 586-855-6196 or

Joe Stevens at 810-543-1838

“I Ain’t Afraid of No Ghosts” ~ Fr. Mike Schmitz

https://youtu.be/RgyX-aLMrGc

Creator of all things, true source of light and

wisdom, origin of all being, graciously let a ray

of your light penetrate the darkness of my

understanding. Take from me the double

darkness in which I have been born, an

obscurity of sin and ignorance. Give me a keen

understanding, a retentive memory, and the

ability to grasp things correctly and

fundamentally. Grant me the talent of being

exact in my explanations and the ability to

express myself with thoroughness and charm.

Point out the beginning, direct the progress,

and help in the completion. I ask this through

Christ our Lord, Amen.

Giving Thanks

I like to take the time during the Thanksgiving season

with my students before we fill our bellies with turkey,

mashed potatoes, and pumpkin pie to fill our hearts with

thankfulness and praise to God for all He has given us!

We discuss what it means to be thankful and blessed and

ways we can show that thankfulness to God.

I am always amazed at their answers and how well

they grasp what the real meaning of Thanksgiving is! This

year I am truly thankful for a great and supporting group

of people to work with, a wonderful class, and my loving

family. I wanted to share the great answers my class

gave on their giving thanks turkeys.

☺ Ethan: mommy, aunts, grandma, grandpa, and daddy

☺ Kenadee: mom, dad, my baby, toys, and God

☺ Josh: everyone in this class, Cork my stuffed animal,

my cat, Legos

☺ Skylar: snow, Thanksgiving, food, toys

☺ Joey: snowball fights, going on trips, going on the boat

with my family, mommy, daddy, my sister, and brother

☺ Autumn: my books, my whole family, trees that grow,

God doing everything for us

☺ Owen: my dog, my family, grandma, grandpa, and my

cousins

☺ James: Big Jack, Josh, Ella, Jack, Charlie, Star Wars

toys, and a dinosaur that moves by itself

☺ Lincoln: Granna, Nana, Big Pa, Auntie, Aunt Bay, and

turkeys

“Thank you is the best prayer that anyone could say. Thank

you expresses extreme gratitude, humility, understanding.”
