32nd Sunday in Ordinary Time I s s u e
A Community Centered In Christ, Nurtured by the Sacraments & Teachings of the Church; Committed to Excellence In Education, Living A Life of Service, Leadership, and Compassion.
32nd Sunday in Ordinary Time
“Afterwards the other virgins came and said, ‘Lord, Lord, open the door
for us!’ But he said in reply, ‘Amen, I say to you, I do not know you.’
Therefore, stay awake, for you know neither the day nor the hour.”
- Mt 25:11-13
A MESSAGE FROM Our Pastor
Dear Brothers and Sisters In Christ,
Entering the month of November is associated with
falling leaves and the arrival of the winter season. This
timely conclusion attributed in our weekend experience,
signifies the end of our liturgical calendar, no different
from ending All Saints Day celebration, while gearing
ourselves towards honoring our departed brothers and
sisters, or as Bishop Noonan would put it, “All Souls do
not only celebrate our departed brethren but also embracing the
living souls of the present”. This weekend we highlight the Feast
of All Souls, with our Annual Festival Non Fest event!
The Gospel reminds us not to be foolish in neglecting to make
simple preparations for ordinary occasions, decisions, and op-
portunities in life. Like the sacred text of God’s Word, we may
find ourselves short in our moral dealings, realizing our iniqui-
ties and forget about God’s providential transformation and
healing, yet, amidst the pandemic, our community has been
blessed to be able to celebrate this week with fellow parishioners
and guests with confidence in abilities and above all God’s sav-
ing grace.
Like the Gospel, being ready while we wait helped us to be fo-
cused on our virtues, which we all have been dreaming of mak-
ing use of. Being ready beforehand gets us into spiritual condi-
tioning, because admittance to the Kingdom cannot be taken for
granted in the end.
How do we keep the lamp of hope alive in our hearts? In what
ways can we help people realize the nearness and the closeness
of God to our brokenness, caused by physical, and emotional
frailties? Let us hope to stay awake for we know not, neither the
day nor hour, when God’s blessing may come to shower us with
His merciful love.
Giving options are always available at All Souls. Thank You for
your prayers and support, helping to fulfill our mission every
day, every week, every month.
Fr. David Vivero
Queridos Hermanos y Hermanas en Cristo,
Entrar en el mes de noviembre siempre se asocia con las
hojas que caen de los árboles y la llegada de la temporada
de invierno. Esta oportuna conclusión atribuida a nuestra
experiencia de fin de semana significa el final de nuestro
calendario litúrgico, nada diferente de la conclusión del
festejo del Día de Todos los Santos en el cual nos prepara-
mos para honrar a nuestros hermanos y hermanas difun-
tas, o como diría el obispo Noonan, “Todas las Almas no sólo es el
festejo de nuestros hermanos partidos, sino también el acogimiento
de las almas vivas del presente”. Este fin de semana recalcamos la
Fiesta de Todas las Almas, con nuestros Festival – No Festival Anual.
El evangelio nos recuerda que no seamos tontos en desatender el
hecho de realizar simples preparaciones para las ocasiones comunes,
y las oportunidades en la vida. Como el texto sagrado de la palabra
de Dios, nos podemos encontrar cortos en nuestras relaciones mora-
les, reconociendo nuestras injusticias y olvidándonos de la transfor-
mación y sanación providencial de Dios. Sin embargo, en medio de
esta pandemia, nuestra comunidad ha tenido la bendición de poder
festejar esta semana con nuestros compañeros en la fe, confiando en
las habilidades y más importante aún, la salvación y gracia de Dios.
Como en el evangelio, estar preparados mientras esperamos nos ayu-
da a enfocarnos en nuestras virtudes, las cuales siempre soñamos en
poder usar. Estar listos por anticipado nos condiciona espiritualmen-
te, porque al final, la admisión en el Reino no puede darse por hecho.
¿Cómo mantenemos la lámpara de esperanza viva en nuestros cora-
zones? ¿De que formas podemos ayudar a nuestro prójimo a alcan-
zar la cercanía e intimidad de Dios a nuestro abatimiento, causado
por nuestra fragilidad física y emocional? Esperemos permanecer
despiertos, porque no sabemos, ni el día ni la hora en la que Dios
vendrá a colmarnos con Su misericordioso amor.
Las opciones para dar siempre están disponibles en All Souls. Gra-
cias por sus oraciones y apoyo, en cumplir nuestra misión cada día,
cada semana, cada mes.

Gospel Meditation
For Your Day
hen doing student report cards,
there was a comment the teacher could
choose that read: inattentive and easily
distracted. Could that comment describe
your spiritual life? We can become so con-
sumed with myriad distractions and preoc-
cupations and lose our connection to what
is really significant and important. We can
become dull. This happens in our human
relationships, too. We can easily take the
love of others for granted, whether it be a
parent, spouse, friend, or a child. We as-
sume and presume that their love will al-
ways be there and do very little to cultivate,
rejuvenate, and deepen it. Presumption can
become a great sin.
We do the same thing with God and our
spiritual lives. We presume that God will be
merciful. Because we believe that in the end
God is going to forgive us anyway, then
why put a lot of effort into things now?
What’s the point? It’s far easier to find a
comfortable spot, curl up and take a nap!
There is no immediate urgency to staying
awake and attentive, so we think, and we
simply fly by the seat of our pants. Assum-
ing and presuming too much about our rela-
tionships, especially our relationship with
God, can lead to neglect and abuse. It can
even lead to a sense of entitlement, where
we actually believe that something is due us
without much effort on our part.
Folks who are distracted and preoccupied
can find their relationships, especially the
primary ones, drifting away.
You can actually be married
to someone for many years
and wake up one morning
realizing that you really do
not know them or truly rec-
ognize them. We have to
desire God in order to rec-
ognize God. We have to
open our hearts, minds, and
souls to His Presence so that
we can be rejuvenated and
refreshed. But we cannot do
Welcome!
All Are Welcome Here If you are alienated or upset, we welcome you lovingly. If you are
in need of forgiveness, Jesus forgives you completely—with unconditional love. If you have been hurt by the Church, we are truly sorry. If you are angry, Jesus offers you peace. If life has become burdensome, we are here to support you. We are happy you are here and want you to stay. We would like to share our lives with you. Come join us each week so we can worship God together.

this if we are distracted or napping. We have
to be awake and alert! As a young child ea-
gerly watches for and anticipates that arrival
of their parent home, so too we must watch
for God’s presence. If the anticipation of
God’s arrival does not excite us and rouse
us, then we need to ask why. The wise per-
son keeps vigilant watch, knowing that in
the end they will not be disappointed. ©LPi

“The Festival this year is being presented
mostly online, due to Covid restrictions.
However, it has required no less effort from
the many volunteers and staff that have
tirelessly worked to create a whole new
environment in which our community can
gather and rejoice together. God works in
many strange ways to draw us to Him, and
this year’s Festival will hopefully do just
that. After all, isn’t that what it’s all about?
Our deepest thanks go out to those that
serve their Parish community by providing
the drive-thru Food Specialties; those that
collect and create the Silent Auction baskets;
those that stuff tickets and manage the 50/50
Raffle; those that have given of their time
and talents for uplifting musical perfor-
mances; those that have shared themselves
to do the Jail-A-Friend fundraiser; those that
are the Sponsors of our events and have
made them possible; those that work in the
background to facilitate and administrate
the entire Festival; and those who promote,
create and produce all you see online, as
well as in-person. A big, heartfelt Thank
You To All! “ - Father David, on behalf of
All Souls Parish

Offertory Recovery & Restoration
Initiative
During this unprecedented time your unwavering faith has demon-
strated your continued dedication to your own journey of discipleship
as well as to our Holy Catholic Church!
We are glad that some of you have returned to celebrate Mass in per-
son with us, and we are grateful for our family members who connect
with us from their homes through our live stream Mass celebrations.
We are blessed with the strong, continued fellowship we foster
through our faith with all of you, regardless of the physical distance
between us. Even so, the current global pandemic has touched each of
our lives, and our parish is no exception.
Just as life has moved forward in the last five months for you and your
families, we continue to move forward at our parish. Although, our
parish has done a good job in managing our expenses, in order to con-
tinue to serve Christ and minister to the needs of our community, it is
important that our parish income is sustained.
As you may know, our offertory is the financial lifeline of our parish.
Offertory gifts help our parish do many things, from helping us pay
our electric bill to funding spiritually powerful programs and minis-
tries that bring God’s grace to many lives. These gifts help us spread
God’s blessings among people and families in our community, includ-
ing many who are suffering. They foster love, hope, and optimism. To
continue serving Christ and minister to our community, it is important
that we continue our giving.
Every registered family will receive by mail a personal invitation
from Fr. David Vivero to:
1. Address our needs
2. Inform you about our weekly offertory collection and
annual financial report
3. Offer an opportunity to prayerfully reflect and reevaluate
your weekly contribution
If you have not made your stewardship commitment to All Souls offer-
tory and are able, please join your fellow parishioners and financially
support our parish. Please prayerfully reflect over this request when
you receive it in the mail. We ask that every parish family consider
making a reasonable increase in their current weekly contribution.
Please complete the bottom tear off portion and enclose it in the special
response envelope and bring it to Mass this coming weekend, drop it
off at the parish office or mail it to us. Most importantly we need your
prayers and support of all our parishioners each and every week of
this most necessary effort. Thank You!

Vincentian Reflections
St. Vincent De Paul (1581—1660)
In today’s Gospel
Jesus challenges us
to “stay awake” by
taking time to
seriously look at
ourselves, the
priorities of our
lives, and how we
are growing
spiritually. Ask
yourself “What
would Jesus Christ
do?” and then make
your donation to the
Society of St. Vincent
de Paul so those who
are suffering will be
able to celebrate
Thanksgiving. ”

All Souls Catholic School
W ith strong conviction of the importance of the Bishop of Rome in
the Church, and of the Church as the ongoing sign of Christ’s
presence in the world, Leo the Great displayed endless dedica-
tion as pope. Elected in 440, he worked tirelessly as “Peter’s successor,” guid-
ing his fellow bishops as “equals in the episcopacy and infirmities.”
Leo is known as one of the best administrative popes of the ancient
Church. His work branched into four main areas, indicative of his notion of the pope’s total responsibility for the flock of Christ. He worked at
length to control the heresies of Pelagianism—overemphasizing human freedom—Manichaeism—seeing everything material as evil—and others,
placing demands on their followers so as to secure true Christian beliefs. A second major area of his concern was doctrinal controversy in the
Church in the East, to which he responded with a classic letter setting down the Church’s teaching on the two natures of Christ. With strong
faith, he also led the defense of Rome against barbarian attack, taking the role of peacemaker.
In these three areas, Leo’s work has been highly regarded. His growth to
sainthood has its basis in the spiritual depth with which he approached the pastoral care of his people, which was the fourth focus of his work. He is known for his spiritually profound sermons. An instrument of the call to
holiness, well-versed in Scripture and ecclesiastical awareness, Leo had the ability to reach the everyday needs and interests of his people. One of his
sermons is used in the Office of Readings on Christmas.
It is said of Leo that his true significance rests in his doctrinal insistence on the mysteries of Christ and the Church and in the supernatural charisms of
the spiritual life given to humanity in Christ and in his Body, the Church. Thus Leo held firmly that everything he did and said as pope for the ad-ministration of the Church represented Christ, the head of the Mystical
Body, and Saint Peter, in whose place Leo acted.
And The Bible Says...
“Afterwards the other virgins came and said, ‘Lord, Lord, open
the door for us!’ But he said in reply, ‘Amen, I say to you, I do not
know you.’ Therefore, stay awake, for you know neither the day
nor the hour.” Mt 25:11-13

“Más tarde llegaron las otras jóvenes y dijeron: ‘Señor, señor, ábrenos’.
Pero él les respondió: ‘Yo les aseguro que no las conozco’. Estén pues, pre-
parados, porque no saben ni el día ni la hora’’. - Mt 25:11-13

Faith Formation Updates
TUESDAY EVENING PROGRAM We continue to meet weekly via Zoom. The children are doing an out-standing job in this new format. All have been very attentive, fully partici-pating. Attendance has almost been 100% every week. In addition to regu-
lar Zoom sessions children are assigned Jesus Training Exercises at three different levels: Jr. Disciple, Disciple and Apostle level. Designed to enforce
the lesson taught, children may select any level depending on their faith experience. If they are exceptional-
ly aware of a particular topic (i.e. Mass, Prayers, Saints, etc.) they
may decide to complete the Apos-tle level activity. Or if it’s a topic
they are only marginally aware the Disciple level is appropriate. If the topic is new to them then they may
decide to complete the Jr. Disciple exercise. All in all the children and
families are eager to stretch and grow in faith. One of our first
graders, Francesca completed the Jr. Disciple exercise where she
drew a picture of her favorite part of the Mass and the items used dur-ing that particular part of the Mass. This past week children learned that
the Roman Missal is the big book of prayers used by the priest during Mass. Mia also did the Jr. Disciple exercise and Samuel chose to complete a
Disciple exercise where he illustrated one of the Sunday readings. What is your favorite part of the Mass?
FIRST RECONCILIATION PREPARATION There are a handful of families who still need to pick up there preparation materials. In order to remain on track for celebrating First Reconciliation in December, these materials must be picked up. By now most families
should be finishing up Chapter 2 and starting Chapter 3. If you need any extra assistance in preparing your children for 1st Reconciliation and First
Eucharist there is a regularly scheduled Parent Zoom Session in English and Spanish on Monday evenings beginning at 6:30PM. Please contact Ms.
Holly for Zoom Meeting credentials.

The Baby Steps Camino
The Order of Malta American Association presents
the 4th Annual Baby Steps Camino™, a 3 day beach-walking pilgrimage December 11th-13th
from the historic Beaches Museum Chapel in Jack-sonville Beach to Our Lady of La Leche National
Shrine at Mission Nombre de Dios in St. Augus-tine. Join us for Mass, Confession, Holy Hours, and pilgrim socials as we walk in this ancient method
of prayer during the Holy Season of Advent.
This pilgrimage is offered for the pilgrim's person-al spiritual growth and to raise awareness of the
Holy Family Hospital in Bethlehem, a primary work of the Order of Malta. Holy Family Hospital
is the premier maternity hospital and neonatal critical care center in the Bethlehem region of the West Bank. Its Neonatal Intensive Care Unit cares
for the critically-ill newborns, some weighing just over one pound.
Pilgrims are welcome
to join us 1, 2, or all 3 days of the pilgrim-
age. A guided "mini pilgrimage", the Bambino
Camino™, a 2 mile walk from Vilano
Beach to the Shrine on December
13th, the final day of pilgrimage, is an easy
walk for pilgrims of all abilities. Non-walkers are also most
welcome to join us on the final day for the
events at the Shrine. Register
