A Few Simple Words…...from Fr. Robert
O Sole Mio...
The Italian Night Dinner with all 5 delicious courses was wonderful.
Everyone who attended had a great time and was filled with compliments. As usual, our gym was transformed into an Italian restaurant. There was live music, lots of good company and I tasted a lot
of homemade wine. Let me tell you, you guys are good wine makers. Our confirmation students served, helped set up, waited on
tables and cleaned up. You can always tell when Italian Night is
coming because our church smells like homemade pasta sauce. I
love it when our parish gathers for events like this. A heartfelt thank
you to Diane Roncaioli and her committee of very generous and
talented people who make this event happen every year.
Sunday Afternoon at St. Paul Church—Altar Server Training
After the Masses, just over 30 Altar Servers came for an Altar Server Training Session. As usual, our Masters of Ceremony (Those
who dress in cassocks and surplices) ran the training. There were
four stations. One group practiced processing in and out, another
group practiced at the altar, a third group learned where to put
things in the Sacristy and the last group learned the names of
things we use at Mass in the Church Hall.
The Gift of Sight
Dear Father Robert, I just wanted to thank you for the opportunity
that you gave me to collect glasses for
Haiti. They were received with great
enthusiasm. What a gift....the gift of
good vision! I saw no one with glasses
before we arrived. Thank you to the
parishioners of St. Paul from the residents of Dame Marie,Haiti! Sincerely,
Peggy Facciolo
(St. Francis
International Medical Missions)
Religious Ed Homeschoolers
When Altar Server training was done, the Masters of Ceremony
gave tours of the Church to the children of families who have
opted to Homeschool their children in Religious Ed. Once
again, the tours were held in groups. One of our High School
students explained the Stations of the Cross, the other explained all the statues in our Church, another took the kids
around the sanctuary and explained the tabernacle, the altar,
ambo and baptismal font. Then there was a group in the sacristy explaining the vestments and vessels to our Homeschoolers
and Mrs. Dowd’s 7th Grade. The tour began with a trip to the
bell tower and a chance to ring our bells. We are lucky that our
neighbors are so patient.
When all the training and tours were finished, the Altar Servers
and the Masters of Ceremony polished off 9 very large pizzas.
Middle School Youth Group
Following the Altar Server Training, 34 of the kids opted to stay
for Middle School Youth Group with Sal Biase. I’m not exactly
sure what was going on in the Church Hall, but it sounded like
they were having fun telling stories and I know that the meeting
finished with a prayer.
We’re famous by association
Last week I was watching the news on WFSB and all of a sudden I saw Jack Stafstrom. He is a Master of Ceremony for the
9:00 AM Mass and plays football for Berlin High School. The
sportscaster was speaking about the great season BHS is having. They are undefeated. Then I opened the New Britain Herald and there was Anthony Sisti’s picture. He plays for BHS,
too, and is having a great season. Finally, rumor has it that
Valerie Perzanowski competed in the National Finals with her
Science project and came in 10th place in the whole country. I
am sure there are many more stories about our children and
their accomplishments. We have great kids at St. Paul Church.
Missalette Stuffers
Our Missallete Stuffers should have received a letter last week
from me thanking you for volunteering and letting you know
that we will be stuffing our Missalette covers on Tuesday, November 18th, at 10:00 AM in the Church Hall. If you have any
questions, please call the parish office. With our new “old” style
missalettes, the covers will have to be changed 4 times a year.
Many hands make light work.
I know and I’m sorry...
I’m sorry we forgot to include the pictures of our newly baptized
and their proud and parents in last week’s bulletin. I assure you
it wasn’t an intentional slight. In case you haven’t noticed, we’re
human and a very big parish. I promise the pictures will be in
this week’s bulletin.

TODAY’S GOSPEL 33rd Sunday

THE BOOK OF
LIFE BY JOSH NOEM
(used with permission)
Halloween had all the markings of a disaster in our town this year: snow
was falling and the wind was gusting up to 45 mph.
Our family looked out the window and decided to throw in the towel.
Oscar is getting too old for trick-or-treating, anyway, and Simon and
Lucy are too temperate to risk pneumonia for some Tootsie Rolls and
Sweet-n-Sours. We did want to mark the holiday with a fun family outing, so we decided to go to a movie, and allowed the kids to pick out
their own theater candy. We saw the new animated feature, The Book of
Life.
There are moments in family life when a plan goes terribly, terribly
wrong—that happens often, and is good fodder for blog posts for us. But
occasionally, there are also moments when everything clicks to produce
a beautiful experience. Thanks to this film, our alternative Halloween
was one of these beautiful experiences.
The story for the movie has to do with the Latino tradition of the Day of
the Dead (el Día de los Muertos), which draws upon the feasts of All
Saints and All Souls in the Church to celebrate the communion of saints.
The plot line has characters entering the afterlife in pursuit of love, encountering deceased family members, and confronting evil. It was a
funny, exciting, and beautiful film.
Most of all, though, it was a thoroughly Christian film, even though the
only overtly religious figures—a priest and some nuns—served as only
background characters. The characters moved through a Christian
world in the presentation of death and the afterlife. Finding deceased
loved ones in the “land of the remembered” was the ultimate fiesta, for
example, and this communion of love beyond death colored everything—it freed the main character to live fully and authentically and fearlessly.
We all came out of the film uplifted, and the experience utterly recast the
feast of All Hallow’s Eve for us. Halloween has its origin as the vigil for
the great feast of All Saints (“all hallowed” refers to “all the holy ones”),
so I was very grateful to avoid all the zombies and superheroes wandering the streets in search of free candy, and instead consider death
through the lens of faith and love.
After the movie, we used the opportunity to call to mind those in our own
family who are in the “land of the remembered.” We had the kids recall
the grandparents they have known who have passed, and Stacey and I
spoke about the grandparents who we remember, but who died before
the kids could get to know them. We even recalled two special lives in
our own family who were lost to miscarriage—it was a nice moment for
the children to call to mind their siblings who are still a part of our family,
even though we cannot see them with us now.
November is a good time to turn our minds to the end of things. The
natural world is passing away before us in preparation for winter—trees
are diminishing before our very eyes and even the daylight is dying
slowly. Soon it will be time to recall the source of our hope and to prepare, through Advent, for his coming into our lives. But for now, we remember the faithful departed, and draw courage from our communion
with them and the continuity of life beyond death.
When a Catholic is cremated, must the
ashes be buried or can they be scattered
or kept in the home?
More and more, people are choosing cremation for
the final disposition of the deceased. In 2010, over
a third of all funerals involved cremation. And that
rate is estimated to increase to over half by 2025.
It is done for many different reasons, including
economic and environmental reasons, or to follow the
wishes of the person who has died. In the past, cremation
was rare for a Catholic and the cremains were not brought
into church for the funeral. Now both the "Catechism of the
Catholic Church" (§ 2301) and canon law (Canon 1176, §
3) allow for cremation, provided that it is not done as an
act of denial of our belief in the resurrection of the body.
Catholics are still encouraged to honor the age-old custom
of bodily burial ("Pastoral Companion").
The catechism also instructs that we honor the bodies of
the dead with respect and dignity, since they were the
temples of the Holy Spirit. Burial of the dead is one of the
corporal works of mercy.
The final disposition calls for the ashes to be placed in an
urn and placed in consecrated ground or inside a mausoleum. The church has a reverence and respect for the
body as a place where the soul had resided. Leaving the
ashes on the mantel or scattering them in some significant
spot is contrary to church practice and belief. © 2013 Liturgical Publications Inc
