November 8, 2015
Dear Parishioners,
Today’s listing in the bulletin of all those who have pledged thus
far to this year’s Catholic Ministries Appeal (CMA) should have the
names of all who pledged up through October 31st. Since we are now
over goal by way of pledges, this list will appear only once a month to
indicate all known participants through the end of the preceding
month. If you pledged a contribution to the CMA but do not see your
name, please contact the parish office at 288-5000 to let them know
that your name is missing. Every now and then, a donation is credited
to the wrong parish, and we certainly want yours to be properly credited to Peace of Christ.
If you have not yet made your pledge to this year’s appeal, you
have until May 31, 2016 to do so. Indeed, it would be so nice to have
at least more than 50% of the parish participating so that a small percentage (currently less than 25%) does not need to carry the weight
for all. These additional pledges, however modest, will also help assure that we actually reach our goal of $99,796 in funds received.
Otherwise, our parish will need to pay the difference out of savings
which are budgeted for our ministries and facilities. Besides, the parish gets to keep half of all that comes in once we have actually paid
our goal amount to the diocese, and this will help greatly in addressing all those things for which we cannot budget but that seem always
to arise in the course of the year, especially fixing things that break.
So, thanks again—we will not need to do the In-Pew Sunday request
this year—and may God’s blessings be in abundance on all who (will)
have given so generously in this campaign.
This morning, there is a Workshop for youth preparing for First
Penance in St. James Church Hall from 11:00 A.M. to 12:00 Noon.
Monday, our Peace of Christ Children’s Choir will practice at St.
Ambrose from 6:00 to 7:00 P.M.
Tuesday, our Peace of Christ Handbell Choir will rehearse at St.
Ambrose from 6:00 to 7:00 P.M. Also, our Pastoral Council will
meet in St. John’s Hall at 7:00 P.M. Following the Opening Prayer,
Open Forum, and Councilors’ Concerns, we will address Goal 2 of
our Vision Statement, review the monthly Finance Report, hear the
Youth Report from our Youth Representatives, discuss the upcoming
Year of Mercy (December 8, 2015-November 20, 2016) and other
regional concerns, and review the results of last week’s meeting on
the annual car raffle.
Wednesday is Veterans’ Day (Remembrance Day in Canada).
The children in our St. John Neumann School will remember our veterans in a special service at 1:30 P.M. in Dailey Hall. All are welcome! Wednesday is also the birthday of Vicki Iannettone in our parish office. And we have a Coffee Hour, 7:00-9:00 P.M. at St. James.
Thursday, the 200th anniversary of the birth of social reformer
Elizabeth Cady Stanton, we have Lunch Bunch at Noon at St. John’s
and our next Peace and Justice presentation at 6:30 P.M. at St. John’s.
Friday, thanks so much for prepping your envelopes for Sunday!
Saturday the Chili Cook-Off starts at 3:30 P.M. in Dailey Hall!
Next Sunday: First Penance Rehearsal at 11:00 A.M. at St. Ambrose, Youth Groups at 4:30-7:30, and Web Site Committee at 6:00.

CREATION CORNER
A WEEKLY OFFERING INSPIRED
BY LAUDATO SI, THE POPE’S
CLIMATE CHANGE ENCYCLICAL
FROM THE ENCYCLICAL – “In calling to mind the figure of
Saint Francis of Assisi, we come to realize that a healthy
relationship with creation is one dimension of overall personal
conversion, which entails the recognition of our errors, sins,
faults and failures, and leads to heartfelt repentance and desire to change. The Australian bishops spoke of the importance of such conversion for achieving reconciliation with
creation: “To achieve such reconciliation, we must examine
our lives and acknowledge the ways in which we have
harmed God’s creation through our actions and our failure to
act. We need to experience a conversion, or change of
heart”.
FROM THE HEADLINES – There are 3 trillion trees on our
planet now. It is estimated that there were 5.6 trillion before
humans existed. See http://www.csmonitor.com/
Science/2015/0902/Earth-has-3-trillion-trees.

The Adult Faith Formation Committee
is sponsoring a series on the Parables
led by Fr. Tim Brown to which you are
all graciously invited. This series has
proved to be highly popular with at
least 50 people attending each time.
The third session, focusing on the
Lost Coin, will be held November 21 In St. John’s
Church from 10:00 AM till noon. With Pope Francis’s
proclamation of an Extraordinary Jubilee Holy Year of
Mercy, Women of the Well members will proclaim each
parable, bringing it to life, followed by Fr. Tim’s reflection. Fr. Tim will help us discern and contemplate the
meaning of Jesus’s stories as we strive to learn and live
what Jesus instructed. There will be time for group discussion, questions and answers along with light refreshments.
This is a special opportunity we hope parishioners
and guests will partake in during this Year of Mercy.
Please join us as we look at what Jesus’s words meant
then, and what they mean for us today, as we strive
towards living as Jesus taught us…. with mercy in our
lives.
The Social Ministry Committee, along
with Peace of Christ Parish, is cohosting a Thanksgiving Dinner at
Community Place of Greater Rochester at 145 Parsells Avenue on Thursday, November 19

Thirty-Second Sunday in Ordinary Time
Each week, this page has appeared in the bulletin to thank all those who have given to this year’s Catholic Ministries Appeal.
Names have been added to the page as we received pledges at the parish office or as we received notice from the diocese that
pledges had been received there. This Roster of Appreciation will continue now on a monthly basis to list all donors throughout
the campaign with each month’s new pledges being appended to them in bold print. Names will appear alphabetically (note: if
you wish not to be listed, please indicate so on your card and we will include your gift under “Anonymous”). No individual pledge
amounts will be shown, just the average gift given thus far in the campaign. If you made a pledge and still do not see your
name, please let us know so that we can verify with the CMA Office at the Diocese that your pledge was credited to Peace of
Christ Parish. Every now and then a pledge is miscoded and gets applied to some other parish’s goal until we discover the error—another reason for this list. The campaign ends May 31, 2016, and though we have already reached our goal in pledges,
we are truly hoping to have over 50% of our parish be contributors to this appeal which supports ministries and services for us
all. Just drop your completed pledge card (as received in the mail or obtained in the church vestibule) into the Sunday collection
or into the mail. Suggestion: Act on this right now not only so that you can take possible tax advantage of year-end giving, but
so that we can also put this all behind us so as to move on to more spiritual matters that should be more regularly before our
attention—such as The Year of Mercy itself. Thanks so very much! Now, gifts which have helped us so greatly and been received thus far include the following:
Mrs. Barbara Abel, Ms. Lena H. Adams, M/M Robert Alaimo, Ms. Eileen Aman, Anonymous, Anonymous, Mrs. Matilda C. Alfieri, Mrs. Kathleen

The average gift thus far is $257.77 and the above represent 24.5% of our parishioners. We have reached 106.93% of our
goal.
We Are All One Body is this year’s theme. I thank you for being so timely in sending in your support for this year’s Appeal!
One-half of all gifts given from this point onward will be able to remain right here in the parish for our local ministerial needs. May
well over 50% of all our parishioners be One Body in supporting the work of the Church!
