So we must stay awake as the gospel tell us, because we do not know the day nor the hour. How do we make sure that we will be ready when the Bridegroom comes? We do that by living our lives as though today is the day. Jesus makes it very clear what we must do. We must follow his one great commandment to love God and to love our neighbor as ourselves, and my neighbor is anyone God places in my path. We must treat all people with unselfish love. We must be kind to the other; we must give of ourselves to others; we must treat all people with generosity and humility. If we do that then when the Bridegroom comes he will invite us to join him in the wedding feast. PASTORAL STAFF Rev.

Anthony and Joseph will have a Communion Service at 5:30 pm on the 4th Saturday of the month, the next Communion Service is Saturday, November 28th. This is being tried because of parishioners of Anthony and Joseph who are unable to get to Mass on Sunday morning due to work schedules or other obligations. This will be continued at least through November. Attendance at these services will determine whether they are continued past November. Volunteers are still needed for both Parishes St. John the Baptist Church still needs volunteers to clean the church after Masses. Sts. Anthony & Joseph Church still needs volunteers for ushers/greeters before Sunday Morning Mass. Please call the parish offices if you can volunteer. Thank you. The dispensation from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass remains in place, so those who are vulnerable or even simply uncomfortable attending a public liturgy are encouraged to remain at home and view Mass via livestreams, which will continue in local parishes EWTN, WKTV & ROMAN CATHOLIC DIOCESE OF ALBANY MASS SCHEDULES EWTN Daily Mass Monday Friday at 8:00 a.m. & 6:30 p.m. and Saturday Daily Mass at 8:00 a.m. & 7:00 p.m. Sunday Mass 8:00 a.m. & 12:00 p.m. CW 11 10:00 a.m. on Spectrum Channel 11 WKTV Sunday Mass at 6:00 a.m. RCDA Live-Streamed Sunday Mass: To view available options, please visit rcda.org/livemass CATHOLIC CHARITIES COLLECTION The 2 nd collection at Anthony and Joseph this weekend will be a diocesan-wide collection for Catholic Charities.

REFLECT AND RESPOND TO SCRIPTURE DIOCESAN APPEAL The Diocesan Appeal, previously called the Bishop s Appeal, is being run much different this year than previous years. There is no in-pew solicitation this year. All requests for donations will come directly from Albany. Some of you have probably already received a request to give to this appeal. Many of you have not because the solicitations are being sent out at various times through the end of the year. If you have received your solicitation already and responded, thank you for your contribution. To those who have not yet received the mailing, it should be out within a couple of months. Crusader s Meeting @ 7:00 p.m. on Monday, November 9th at the Parish Hall. Christian Service Committee Meeting @ 7: 00 p.m. on Tuesday, November 10th. If you know of anyone in the Sts.

ANOTHER PRAYER for ALL SOULS Love never disappears for death is a non-event. I have merely retired to the room next door. You and I are the same; what we were for each other, we still are. Speak to me as you always have, do not use a different tone, do not be sad. Continue to laugh at what made us laugh. Smile and think of me. Life means what it has always meant. The link is not severed. Why should I be out of your soul if I am out of your sight? I will wait for you; I am not here, but just on the other side of this path. You see, all is well. St. Augustine country in the military. VETERANS DAY Wednesday, November 11 th, is Veterans Day, a national holiday. Veterans Day commemorates the signing of the peace agreement that ended World War I on November 11, 1918. Whereas Memorial Day remembers all those who died in service of their country, Veterans Day remembers all who have serviced their The parish offices will be closed on Wednesday in observance of the holiday. St. MARTIN of TOURS A conscientious objector who wanted to be a monk; a monk who was maneuvered into being a bishop; a bishop who fought paganism as well as pleaded for mercy to heretics such was the 4 th century saint, Martin of Tours. Martin s worry about cooperation with evil reminds us that almost nothing is either all black or all white. The saints are not creatures of another world: They face the same perplexing decisions that we do. Any decision of conscience always involves some risk. A hyper-cautious withdrawal from all perplexing situations is not the virtue of prudence; it is in fact, a bad decision, for not to decide is to decide.
