to those who love You.We ask this through our Lord
Jesus Christ, your Son,who lives and reigns with you in the
unity of the Holy Spirit,One God, forever and ever. Amen.

FIRST READING Wisdom 6:12-16
A Reading from the Book of Wisdom
Resplendent and unfading is wisdom, and she is readily perceived by those who love her, and found by those who seek her. She hastens to make herself known in anticipation of their de-sire; Whoever watches for her at dawn shall not be disappointed, for he shall find her sitting by his gate. For taking thought of wisdom is the perfec-tion of prudence, and whoever for her sake keeps vigil shall quickly be free from care; because she makes her own rounds, seeking those worthy of her, and graciously appears to them in the ways,and meets them with all solicitude.
The Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.

GOSPEL ACCLAMATION Jacques BerthierRESPONSORIAL PSALM Psalm 63
O God, you are my God, whom I seek;for you my flesh pines and my soul thirsts
like the earth, parched, lifelessand without water. R
Thus have I gazed toward you inthe Sanctuary to see your power and
your glory, for your kindness is a greatergood than life; my lips shall glorify you. R
Thus will I bless your while I live;lifting up my hands I will call upon your name.As with riches of a banquet shall my soul be
satisfied, and with exultant lips my mouth shall praise you. R
I will remember you upon my couch, andthrough the night-watchers I will meditate on you:
You are my help, and in the shadowof your wings I shout for joy. R
SECOND READING I Thessalonians 4:13-18
A Reading from the First Letter of Saint Paul to the Thessalonians:
We do not want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, about those who have fallen asleep, so that you may not grieve like the rest, who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose,so too will God, through Jesus, bring with him those who have fallen asleep. Indeed, we tell you this, on the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will surely not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself, with a word of com-mand, with the voice of an archangel and with the trumpet of God, will come down from heaven, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. Thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore, console one another with these words.

GOSPEL READING Matthew 25:1-13
The Lord be with you. And with your spirit.
A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew. Glory to you, O Lord.
Jesus told his disciples this parable: ""The king-dom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish and five were wise. The foolish ones, when taking their lamps, brought no oil with them, but the wise brought flasks of oil with their lamps. Since the bridegroom was long delayed, they all became drowsy and fell asleep. At midnight, there was a cry, ‘Behold, the bride-groom! Come out to meet him!’ Then all those vir-gins got up and trimmed their lamps. The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ But the wise ones re-plied, 'No, for there may not be enough for us and you. Go instead to the merchants and buy some for yourselves.’ While they went off to buy it, the bridegroom came and those who were ready went into the wedding feast with him. Then the door was locked. 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.""
The Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

PROFESSION OF FAITH Nicene Creed
I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible.I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God,born of the Father before all ages.God from God, Light from Light,true God from true God,begotten, not made,consubstantial with the Father;through him all things were made.For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven,
(All bow at the following words up to: and became man.)
and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Vir-gin Mary, and became man.For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pi-late, he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son,who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets.
I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one Baptism for the forgive-ness of sins and I look forward to the resurrec-tion of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.

From Father Sheridan
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ:
As of the time of this writing, we have not yet arrived at election day, nor, of course, do we know the results. Perhaps by the time we read this on Sunday the results will be known. Nevertheless, regardless of the re-sults of the election, what we need now is unity. The first word of the name of our great nation is “United.” It defines and describes who we are. Unlike most other nations of the world, we do not all share the same ethnic roots or the same origins. We are all very dif-ferent, and yet there is so much that make us alike. This is well described by one of our na-tion’s mottos: e pluribus unum; out of many, one. We have been through (and continue to endure) quite an ordeal together in this past year: the coronavirus pandemic; the sad re-alization that, even more than 150 years after the end of slavery, some of our brothers and sisters of color still feel like their voices and their lives do not matter; this tense political cycle, which has focused almost entirely on negativity at every level; the inability to visit with family and friends in ways that we have enjoyed in the past; the cancellation of so many events and trips (my own trip to Eu-rope that was scheduled for this week was cancelled many months ago). Even though all of this has been difficult, we remain a peo-ple of hope. We hope for a cure, we hope for peace, we hope for acceptance and love, we hope for a return to normalcy, we hope for a time to gather together again, we hope to be one again. No matter what shuts down, no matter who our elected officials are, no mat-ter what else they cancel, they cannot take away our hope. We are better together—we can do better together. Therefore, no matter the results of the past election, let us join to-gether as one nation, under God, to do the work of God and to make His Kingdom come.
We welcome among us today Sister Mary Mc-Cormick, General Superior of the Ursuline Sisters of Youngstown. Sr. Mary is also my cousin—her mother and my grandmother were sisters—so it is a special joy to welcome
her to be with us today. In addition to her work as the superior of her community, she teaches at St. Mary Seminary in Cleveland where the majority of our diocesan seminar-ians attend. As the superior of her congre-gation, Sister Mary knows well the needs of the retired sisters in religious communities throughout our country, who have dedicated their lives to service of God in His Church. Our parishes have benefited greatly over many years from the good work of Religious Sisters, in particular from the Sisters of the Humil-ity of Mary and the Sisters of Notre Dame. I thank you in advance for your generous re-sponse to this appeal, in support of the great women and men who have generously given their lives in service to us all.
Finally, our sympathies and prayers are with the family and friends of David Rohr who was buried recently from Saint Peter Church. May the Lord, in His mercy and love, welcome him to heaven, even as He provides comfort and consolation to those who mourn his passing.
Have a blessed week!
Peace ~Fr. Sheridan

WINTER INFORMATION
If there is more than 2 1/2 inches of snow on the ground (this will be at the discre-tion of the Cemetery Sexton), St. John Cemetery and St. Peter Cemetery will be closed. It is very difficult to maneuver the roads when they are clear, much less cov-ered with snow. Of course, we will accom-modate burials during this time as needed. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and we appreciate your under-standing.

The preschool program has been working hard this month! The month of October we have
spent learning about apples and pumpkins. We are very thankful for Ms. Rood’s garden outside our
windows because we are able to see the vines, flowers and pumpkins on the plant! We have also
been busy counting and learning the alphabet.
This month the in Kindergarten, we are working on our blending skills, while reading
short stories. We are working on comparing numbers 1-10 and using ten frames to represent
numbers. We are also working on beginning sounds and our alphabet recognition skills.
In 1 st grade we have been working on letter blends, focusing on decoding and spelling words with
R-blends, L-blends, and S-blends. We are also learning to utilize strategies that help us read words
that may be unfamiliar to us. In math we are learning strategies to help us add and subtract. In
religion, we have been learning about blessings and praise and how both apply to our relationship
with God.
In second grade we are learning how dictionaries help us find
information. We discussed the process on how to scan pages and find
words we want. Students found it interesting that there were more
than one meaning for many words! We are excited to expand our word
knowledge and to add more meaning to each word we come across!
The fifth graders were in the
Halloween spirit as they participated
in a pumpkin decorating contest. The
winners were first place Lauren
Spencer, second place Elizabeth
Miner, and third place Omyra Ajanel.
Congratulations girls.
Third grade completed their first science project this month! We learned about chemical
reactions by making volcanoes with vinegar and baking soda. We also used the experiment to help
us learn the scientific method. We had a lot of fun with this project.
The fourth grade had a very busy month! The children spent time picking the remaining
pumpkins, gourds, and squash from our school garden. Each child painted a pumpkin to take home.
The class is studying the sacrament of Baptism. We had a visit from Father Sheridan who talked to
the children about Jesus, when he was a child. In social studies we are learning about the first
people to live in Ohio.
