QUOTE OF THE WEEK

Be gentle with all and stern with yourself.

SPONSOR OF THE WEEK

**Insert Robbins Heating and Air ad here *

“…. inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of

the world. For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty

and you gave me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me, naked

and you clothed me, ill and you cared for me, in prison and you

visited me.” Matthew 25:34-36

Stewardship is opening our hearts, schedules and hands to oth-ers. It means being available and willing to listen and give our time and our love to our neighbors and fellow parishioners. In

doing this, we serve Christ.

Hear Ye, Hear Ye, by order of Royal Decree from Caesar Au-gustus, all St. Bernard Families should report for the census with their taxes (donations of canned goods or toiletry items for FCHUM) to the checkerboard room on Monday, December 4 at 6:30 PM. Join us for "A Night in Bethlehem." A family-friendly event, with child-focused activities. We will journey to Bethle-hem to taste, touch and experience just a little of what it was like during biblical times as the Holy Family searches for a place to stay. RSVP is required and must be made at www.stbernardlou.weshareonline.org. Reserve your place as SPACE IS LIMITED! This event is free, however, we will be

taking free will offerings at the door.

You are welcome to come dressed in your own Biblical attire!


CONFIRMATION PRAYER PARTNER

We invite St. Bernard parishioners to do the

following:

1. Please take a sealed envelope handed out in the back of Church after Masses that has instructions and a name of one of our Con-

firmation Candidates.

2. Put the name somewhere as a reminder to pray daily, by name for this young per-

son. Ask the Holy Spirit to open this young person’s mind and heart to the Confirmation Journey and to guide them daily to make holy choices that led them closer to Christ, the Church

and their family.

3. Mail a card or note of encouragement on a couple of occa-sions to this young person. Let them know when and how you are praying for them with words of affirmation and support. Build them up, and encourage them to be courageous to make a difference in this world and to witness to their faith in Jesus

Christ and his Church.

The Sacrament of Confirmation will be Thursday, May 10, 2018. Thank you for all the many ways you continue to enrich and make our Confirmation Journey special and meaningful. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Paula

Miles at 239-8681 or [email protected]

TUITION ASSISTANCE

FOR 2018/2019 SCHOOL YEAR

The Catholic Education Founda-tion, the Archdiocese of Louisville and the funding partners are help-ing more families than ever who cannot afford the full cost of edu-

olic elementary school may apply.

Tuition assistance applications should be submitted between December 15, 2017 and February 28, 2018. A single form, the FACTS management application, will be used for all forms of Catholic elementary school tuition assistance. Families must use

formation. Your 2017 tax information will not be required.

You must reapply for tuition assistance every year. Award let-

ters will be mailed to families no later than June 15, 2018.

AN ADVENT STUDY IN YOUR PJ’S

Join our parish-wide Advent Study program all done online, from the comfort of your own home, on the day and time you

choose.

ST. BERNARD’S “TABLE OF ANGELS”

Our ANGELS have arrived!! Hard to believe that 2017 marks St. Bernard’s 26th year of sponsoring the “Table of Angels” … this being the third year in conjunction with Fern Creek/Highview United Ministries! As you may well know, the tough economic conditions mean more families than ever before are in dire need and turn to FCHUM for help feeding and providing for their families. This is where St. Bernard parishioners and the surrounding community are invited to play a vital role in helping provide a beautiful Christmas for these “angels”—sharing the rich blessings God has given us! The “angels” are ready for your “adoption”. As in the past, you may adopt one “angel” or an entire family (which are rubberbanded togeth-er). If you’d like to choose one from a family, that’s okay as well. Please, PLEASE remember to sign out ALL “angels” in the “Table of Angels” binder on the table. It is very important you include a phone number where you can be reached. Take a red, green, or white flyer as well which lists specifics about “angel” gift return and offers other helpful suggestions. For those who would like to adopt an “angel” but have trouble get-ting around or have time constraints, envelopes have been pro-vided on the “angel” table, AND an ANGEL TREE envelope should have been included in the packet with your tithing enve-lopes. Seal your contribution in the envelope and drop it in the box provided on the table. One of St. Bernard’s small Christian communities has agreed to shop for these angels. ALL “angel” gifts MUST be returned to the back of St. Bernard Church NO LATER THAN SUNDAY, DECEMBER 10, 2017, 2:00 p.m., as gifts must be sorted, accounted for and transported to FCHUM for their distribution. If you have any questions, please call Karen (640-7682) or Tim Schenk, 239-4223, af-

ter 6:00 p.m.


SAFE ENVIRONMENT WORKSHOP

The Archdiocese of Louisville requires that all adults who work with children in our parish communities attend a “Honor Thy Children Safe Environment” training session and have a back-ground check. Background check forms are in the Parish Office. The following workshop dates are on the calendar. You do not

need an appointment, just come 15 minutes early and register.

Please note: Children are not allowed to attend this training.

December 4th - 6:30 p.m. - St. Gabriel - Gymnasium

PARENTING POINTERS

Thanksgiving is over. Let the shopping begin! Or must it? The Friday after Thanksgiving is often called Black Friday - the day

stores start to make a profit. Buying gifts isn't in-herently bad, but giving an experience is often more memorable. Why not stay home and play a

game? By Susan Vogt, www.SusanVogt.net

MARRIAGE MOMENTS

Ways to Turn Your Beloved Off #5 - Let bargain hunting rob you of time - time to serve those who don't have the money even for a bargain. Let Matthew 25 ring in your ears: "I was hungry, thirsty, a stranger, naked, ill, in pris-on..." Spend some time and money responding to this sales pitch from Christ the King as

Christmas approaches.

By Susan Vogt, www.SusanVogt.net

DAY OF PRAYER FOR PERSECUTED CHRISTIANS

In the midst of the turbulence in the Middle East, the U.S. Con-ference of Catholic Bishops expresses solidarity with Christians and all those who suffer from the conflict and persecution in the region. The Church stands at the service of all people in the

Middle East, both Christians and Muslims.

The Day of Prayer for Persecuted Christian on November 26 is

an opportunity for prayer, advocacy, awareness.

As we are all called to pray for those in need, please see the

Prayer for Persecuted Christians.

O God of all the nations, the One God who is and was and al-

ways will be, in your providence you willed that your Church

be united to the suffering of your Son. Look with mercy on your servants who are persecuted for their faith in you. Grant them perseverance and courage to be worthy imitators of Christ. Bring your wisdom upon leaders of nations to work for peace

among all peoples. May your Spirit open conversion for those

who contradict your will, that we may live in harmony. Give us the grace to be united in truth and

freedom, and to always seek

your will in our lives. Through Christ our Lord. Amen. Our Lady,

Queen of Peace, pray for us.

Prayer composed by Archbishop

William E. Lori, Baltimore
