HAPPY THANKSGIVING = SRETAN DAN ZAHVALNOSTI, ove godine u četvrtak, tj. sutra 24 studenoga 2022
Već preko 150 godina Amerika slavi DAN ZAHVALNOSTI svakog zadnjeg četvrtka u mjesecu studenome. Ovo dolje priloženo sam jučer dobio od svećenika Crkve Sveti Ivan Neumann. Amerikanci su došli na tu ideju da se zahvale onim domorodcima koji su tada tu živjeli, a to su bili Indijanci (ne Indusi) i koji su pomogli Europljanima koji su tada 1600-tih godina dolazili u ovu zemlju tada bez imena “Amerika”. Za saznati više o vožnosti koje su vezane za ovaj DAN ZAHVALNOSTI, molim potražite preko interneta: History of Thanksgiving i tu ćete saznati što bi vas moglo zanimati. Hvala vam.

| Dear Parishioners,
As we approach Thanksgiving Day, it is my prayer that everyone in our parish family will offer a prayer of thanksgiving to our loving and gracious God for all that He does for us each and every day. I hope that together we will never tire of finding new reasons and new gifts that prompt us to thank God always. On behalf of Fr. Kris and myself as well as Deacons Mike, Don, Manuel and the entire parish staff, we say thanks to you!
Gratitude is the foundation for authentic Christian living. When we acknowledge God as the source of all life—of all that we have and all that we are, the most appropriate response is to give thanks. Thankfulness graces everything in our lives. It opens us up to the goodness of all God’s creation, and to the gift of other persons in our midst. Gratitude helps us appreciate in new ways the gift of life itself and all the blessings we have received.
If you are in town I would like personally to invite you to join us for Thanksgiving Day Mass at 10:00 AM. The word, “Eucharist” is the Greek word for “thanksgiving”. We are still accepting food for our Thanksgiving Food Drive. Please bring non-perishable items to Mass with you to be brought up to the altar area during the offertory. I am filled with gratitude to announce we have already received almost 800 pounds of food.
May you have safe journeys in your comings and goings this holiday week, and may the Lord Jesus Christ be with you today and always. Happy Thanksgiving and I wish you a Blessed Advent as we begin the season of Advent this weekend.
Grace and Peace,
Fr. Dean

In 1621, the Plymouth colonists and the Wampanoag shared an autumn harvest feast that is acknowledged today as one of the first Thanksgiving celebrations in the colonies. For more than two centuries, days of thanksgiving were celebrated by individual colonies and states.15. stu 2022.

Dragi župljani,
Dok se približavamo Danu zahvalnosti, moja je molitva da svi u našoj župnoj obitelji izmole molitvu zahvalnosti našem dragom i milosrdnom Bogu za sve što čini za nas svaki dan. Nadam se da se zajedno nikada nećemo umoriti od pronalaženja novih razloga i novih darova koji nas potiču da uvijek zahvaljujemo Bogu. U ime vlč. Kris i ja, kao i đakoni Mike, Don, Manuel i cijelo župno osoblje, zahvaljujemo vam!
Zahvalnost je temelj za autentični kršćanski život. Kada priznamo Boga kao izvor svega života – svega što imamo i svega što jesmo, najprikladniji odgovor je zahvaljivanje. Zahvalnost krasi sve u našim životima. Otvara nas dobroti svega Božjeg stvorenja i daru drugih osoba u našoj sredini. Zahvalnost nam pomaže da na nove načine cijenimo sam dar života i sve blagoslove koje smo primili.
Ako ste u gradu, želio bih vas osobno pozvati da nam se pridružite na misi za Dan zahvalnosti u 10:00 sati. Riječ “euharistija” je grčka riječ za “zahvalnost”. Još uvijek primamo hranu za našu akciju hrane za Dan zahvalnosti. Molimo vas da sa sobom na misu ponesete nepokvarljive stvari koje ćete iznijeti na prostor oltara tijekom prinosa. Ispunjen sam zahvalnošću što mogu objaviti da smo već primili gotovo 800 funti hrane.
Neka su vam sretna putovanja u vašim dolascima i odlascima ovaj blagdanski tjedan, i neka Gospodin Isus Krist bude s vama danas i uvijek. Sretan Dan zahvalnosti i želim vam blagoslovljen advent jer ovog vikenda započinjemo sezonu adventa.
Milost i mir,
Fr. Dekan
