The Feast of Christ the King
Today’s Gospel passage is the conclusion of Jesus’ discourse with His disciples. It is about the end of time, the coming of the Son of Man, and the final judgment. We hear this description of the final judgment at the conclusion of our liturgical year, the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ the King. In the context of Matthew’s Gospel, this passage might also be read as a conclusion of Matthew’s report on Jesus’ life and ministry; the remaining chapters report the events of Jesus’ Passion and Resurrection.

50th & 25th WEDDING ANNIVERSARY
Our parish will be Hosting a Mass on Saturday, December 5th at 5pm
for couples who celebrated their 50th and 25th Wedding Anniversaries in 2020.
Any couple celebrating their 50th Wedding Anniversary (1970) or 25th Wedding Anniversary (1995) in 2020 is most welcome. There will be a renewal of vows and a special Blessing during Mass.
All honorees, parishioners & guests are invited to the Mass.
Jubilarian couples are asked to register at 967-0142 by November 29th.
Unfortunately, we cannot conduct the reception afterwards.
UPDATE FROM POTS
The POTS team is happy to report that we already have ALL of the volunteers we need but we are still 60 turkeys short of where we need to be in order to feed our guests on Thanksgiving Day!
- If you have not signed up to roast a turkey, PLEASE consider doing so. The turkey is the “protein star” of an otherwise carbohydrate-laden meal.
- If you don’t have time to cook one yourself, PLEASE consider placing an order with Jerry’s Post Road Market or the Harrison Market.
- The turkeys do not have to be huge, we recommend 15-20 pounds. If you prefer, cook 2 turkey breasts instead. (They cook up very quickly and will free up your oven for your own Thanksgiving preparations.)
Thank you once again for your anticipated generosity.
Thanksgiving Day is on Thursday, November 26th. The Mass schedule is 8:00am and 9:00am mass on Thanksgiving. Parishioners and families are encouraged to attend Mass and start the day off with the Eucharist.
IT'S SAFE - IT'S SIMPLE - IT'S CONVENIENT
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who continue to support our parish during these very difficult times. As you may be aware, our electronic giving, through WeShare, has helped sustain our parish, especially during the months when we could not worship in person.
⦁ This weekend, we are dedicating time and effort to expand our electronic giving base. We are not asking for additional donations, but to consider changing the way you support your parish by using WeShare.
⦁ WeShare is a very simple way for you to continue to financially support our parish.
⦁ We understand that parishioners like to put their envelopes/donations in the offertory basket. You may continue to do so and write WeShare on the front of the empty envelope or check the box on the envelope that says "we participate in WeShare online giving."
⦁ Finally, thank you for your prayers, which have helped us all get through this year.

We are proud to report that the results in our parish for the 2020 Cardinal's Appeal are impressive. However, for the first time in 42 years the parishes in the Archdiocese have not met the archdiocesan goal because of the coronavirus pandemic.
At Resurrection, the good people of our parish, have been extraordinarily generous to this life-giving appeal. We not only met our goal... we surpassed it. We also surpassed our all-time high goal of 2019!
There are still about 50 families who have not contributed to the 2020 appeal. Please do so so that we can reach our goal of 440 donors.
Since 1978, The Cardinals Appeal has supported the pastoral, spiritual and educational ministries of the Archdiocese of New York. It was started by the late Cardinal Terence Cooke, who has reached the stage of servant of God on the path to canonization as a saint.
Preventing the Flu:
Good Health Habits.
1. Avoid close contact with people who are sick. When you are sick, keep your distance from others to protect them from getting sick to.
2. Stay home when you are sick. Stay home from work, school and errands when you are sick. Keep sick children at home. You will help prevent others from catching the illness.
3. Cover your mouth and nose. Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.
4. Wash your hands often. Washing your hands and the hands of your children often will help protect you from germs.
5. Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.
Germs are often spread when a person touches something that is contaminated with germs and then touches his or hers eyes, nose or mouth.
6. Practice other good healthy habits.
Get plenty of sleep, by physically active, manage your stress, drink plenty of fluids, and eat nutritious food.
3-Minute Retreats invite you to take a short prayer break right at your computer. Spend some quiet time reflecting on a Scripture passage.
