Remembrance Day – November 11 – Canadians pause today in silence to remember those who died in war and to pray for the victims of aggression and inhumanity throughout the world. This is a day to pray for peace, to consider what we are doing as individuals, as a community and as a nation to bring God’s peace into the world. This is a day when a believing community should rededicate itself by prayer and action to the ideals Jesus gives us in the Beatitudes. Taken from Ordo page 266 About Today’s Feast – As the cathedral church of the diocese of Rome, St. John Lateran is the mother church for all Catholics. Today’s feast celebrates not only the dedication of this ancient church, but also provides us with an opportunity to reflect5 on the role that the pope, the bishop of Rome, has in bearing witness to Christ and to preserving the unity of the Christian faithful. Taken from Sourcebook page 372 The 2025 Bishop’s Annual Appeal – Please support the Bishop’s Annual Appeal. The Appeal is directed at enabling the Bishop to fulfill the mission of the church. It is one of the many ways in which we can share in the mission of spreading the Good News. Our parish has been asked to raise $16,489.00 and Green Lake has been asked to raise $1885.00 for this year’s Appeal. Bishop’s Annual Appeal: “Planting Seeds of Hope” October 26 – December 31, 2025 Every gift is greatly appreciated! Christmas Shoebox – The main reason to pack a shoebox is to ensure that children from the poorest families of the world know that someone cares, which is demonstrated by receiving a shoebox that is filled with toys, school supplies and personal care items. Shoeboxes can be picked up at the back of the church, more have been ordered, also an ordinary shoebox can be used. All shoeboxes must be at the church before or on November 16.

Scripture Insights – Feast of the Dedication of the Lateran Basilica Taken from Source Book for Sundays, Seasons and Weekdays 2025: The Almanac for Pastoral Liturgy, LTP Liturgy Training Publications Copyright 2024, 3949 South Racine Avenue, Chicago, IL 60609, pg. 372. The forty-eight chapters of Ezekiel are rich in imagery and complex in their message. This passage follows a description of areas of the temple and its ritual actions. Here the author describes the temple as the source of life using the imagery of a river that flows to the Dead Sea, where it brings forth new life. The language is symbolic; there are parallels to the life-giving power of God, who will deliver the Israelites from exile and give them new life. There are two parts in today’s Gospel. In the first instance Jesus drives the moneychangers from the temple precincts. Although there was a market area near the temple, Jesus objects to this commerce encroaching on the purpose of the temple. In the second part he refers to himself as the temple, a reference that begins to cause division between himself and the religious leaders; a division that will surface many times during his public ministry. · The image of the first reading presents the Church as a source and conduit of life-giving water, far from an authoritarian church to be obeyed. This vision guides the universal Church, offering life-giving water to local churches who then become sources of this love and hope in their communities. · On this feast commemorating a church building, we are reminded that the People of God are the Church. As much as we value sacred spaces, we would do well to pause and evaluate our relationship to church buildings, which can become idols in themselves.
