Pastoral Letter [The Pastoral Letter will be written by a different member of our pastoral staff each week. This letter will be reflective of the readings or Gospel for that Sunday and will be written through the lens of their ministry here at our Parish. We hope you will enjoy the perspectives of the wonderful staff we have here at St. Joseph’s.]
Dear Parishioners, Thank you for welcoming me to Saint Joseph’s! I have enjoyed coming to Placentia from Palm Desert each weekend to celebrate the Mass with you—it is a real privilege for me, especially in my retirement. The clergy and the staff here have been especially helpful to me—and thanks to them, I have lots to do! I understand that our new GIFT groups—”Growing In Faith Together”—have been very successful so far in the Parish, studying the coming weekend’s Scriptures in small groups. Remember that you can still join a group—just call the Parish office for help with this. Did you know that we priests and deacons have our own kind of GIFT group, too? We meet every other week, together with Chris Boyle, our Music Director, and Mike Arias, Youth Minister, to discuss the readings and the music selections for the coming weeks. Father Miguel has started this to keep us on our toes, I think! The Gospel reading for this weekend is the Parable of the Ten Virgins, five who were wise and five who were foolish. We had a good discussion of this parable in our group meeting, and two lessons from the parable stood out for me. Both concern the wisdom we need to live our faith lives. The wise virgins knew these lessons, and the foolish did not. First: there are some things in life that can’t be borrowed! Our faith in Christ, finally, is a personal decision that only we can make. No one—no parents, nor teachers, nor spouse, nor friends, nor priests nor deacons—can make it for us. We can’t borrow their faith, we have to accept our baptis-mal vocation on our own before God. God gives us the grace, of course, and our family and friends help us for sure, but finally, living our faith is up to us to do. Second: there are some things in life that can’t be postponed! I know that many of us love to pro-crastinate, and I’m one of the worst. Joking around, I like to tell people that, while long-term plan-ning pays off in the long run, procrastination pays off right now! But seriously, we know that really important things, like our faith in Christ, cannot be postponed until “tomorrow.” To live in Christ is a daily decision we make, so that it will grow stronger, and so that we will be awake and alert when the Lord comes. Let’s be wise and watchful, not foolish and forgetful. Sincerely yours in Christ, Father Don Romito

WISDOM We consider wisdom today. The first reading from the book of Wisdom presents this precious gift as a feminine spirit, a very desirable virtue sought by many and graciously present to all who seek her. In today's Gospel, Jesus tells a parable to illustrate wisdom in a practical, measurable way. The wise will conserve their resources, use them prudently, and mark the passing of time. The foolish, on the other hand, not planning ahead, will be in the dark. Both of these readings tell us how accessible wis-dom is to all who simply and honestly seek it. Paul's words to the Thessalonians are not about wisdom, but describe one result of true wisdom: To the wise person of faith even death holds no terror. Our faith in Jesus' resurrection tells us we will all one day rise to new life in Christ. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

The Bethlehem Christian Families The Holy Land
November 18 & 19 2017, the Bethlehem Christian Families will be here to sell their hand carved
religious articles made of olive wood. The sale of these precious articles supports their Church Mission which is to maintain the roots and the existence of the Christian Families who are struggling to remain in Bethlehem. At least ninety percent of the funds raised through these sales go directly to Christians living in the Bethlehem area. The proceeds will create more work which will help them to survive and stay in the Holy Land since they have no other source of income and are dependent on the olive wood industry.
Thank You for your support and generosity.

Advent 2017 Bible Study
Advent of the Savior: The Infancy
Narratives of Jesus There’s still time to register for the next Bible Study!
Please get a registration form from the parish office.
Classes begin
Sunday, November 12th 10 am- 12 Noon
Tuesday, November 14th 7:00 PM- 9:00 PM
Wednesday, November 15th 9:30 AM- 11:30 AM
The infancy narratives have enriched the lives of believers through the centuries. These accounts
serve as overtures to the writing of the evangelists and as bridges connecting the Old and New Testa-ments. They point back to the history of Israel, and forward to the ministry of Jesus, culminating in the
cross and resurrection. This short, four-week study, perfect for your Advent reflection,
will not meet over Thanksgiving Week.
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED “Passages” Grief Support has been ministering to our community for over a year. This is a unique Christ-centered
support group that is offered at St. Joseph’s Church to help those indi-viduals who are mourning the death of a loved one. This support group meets on Thursdays. The facili-tators of this group would love some helpers to join in. If you feel called to compassionately accompany
people through this season of loss in their lives, contact Kathleen Li, let’s talk about how you
might get involved! Kathleen Li [email protected]

ST. JOSEPH SCHOOL NEWS & EVENTS
The first graders at St. Joseph School are sponsoring the November Canned Food Drive. Please donate canned food items to help feed needy families.

Our food drive will begin November 1st and run until November 18th. Place your canned goods in the donation box in the Parish Center. BOX TOPS FOR EDUCATION® Join St. Joseph Catholic School in the Box Tops for Education program. This is an easy way for St. Joseph Catholic School to earn cash to fund programs and activities for our children. This type of fundraiser is easy! It’s just a piece of paper on a food container you may already have in your kitchen or in your weekly grocery cart. No amount is too small to submit. Saving those little Box Tops can add up quickly, partic-ularly when everyone participates! Please drop off box tops in the Parish office.
Thank you for your support PRESCHOOL We have a comprehensive curriculum that follows the California Preschool Learning Foun-dations and the Diocese of Orange Preschool Learning Standards.

World Day of the Poor - Sunday, November 19 Pope Francis states, "Let us love, not with words but with deeds."
"This new World Day should become a powerful appeal to our consciences as believ-ers, allowing us to grow in the conviction that sharing with the poor enables us to under-stand the deepest truth of the Gospel. The poor are not a problem; they are a resource
from which to draw as we strive to accept and practice in our lives the essence of the Gospel." (Pope Francis) This day can be a way to promote your Con-ference within your Parish; a way to remind the Pastor and Parishioners about the people in poverty around us and the Society's good works to help them. It is a good time to remind your Parish Com-munity that every day is a "Day of the Poor" with the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, as Vincentians grow spiritually by putting their faith into action as they serve people in poverty.

The Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA) is the process through which the Catholic Church welcomes new members and brings men and women into full communion with the Catholic Church. Do you think you have the gifts of the Spirit to work teaching our faith to adults? Is God calling you to do more to evangelize? Please contact Kathleen Li for more information and training [email protected] or call 714-528-1487 Ext. 211
Program Purpose: As Knights of Columbus, we have always been interested in the develop-ment of strong, vibrant families. In support of this philosophy and to create an even greater awareness of our many fine Catholic families, the Supreme Council instituted the “Family of the Month” Program in 1978. Since that time the “Family of the Month” Program has grown to be one of the Order’s most successful. St. Joseph Council 10287 has started the Program to recognize and honor some of the outstand-ing Catholic Families in our St. Joseph Parish. At the beginning of each month, the Knights of Columbus will select a Family of the Month and present to them a statue of the Holy Family to take home and display in their homes for that month. St. Joseph Council 10287 has selected Sam and Mariana Martinez along with their sons Andres and Victor and daughter Sophia, as “Family of the Month” for November 2017. This is in recognition for their many con-tributions to St. Joseph Parish. Sam and Mariana take a very active role in St. Joseph School activities such as coordinating the Mother/Son and Father/Daughter dances. Sam is the Den Leader for the Cub Scouts and as-sists with the Boy Scouts and is a member of the Knights of Columbus. Their son Andres is an Altar Server. The Martinez Family leads by example, attending Mass weekly and actively participating at the Mass.

LIBRO DE RECUERDO Durante el mes de noviembre honramos a nuestros difuntos. Los cristianos en todas partes buscan la intercesión de Dios por estas almas bendecidas en la Misa, en la oración y en obras de caridad. Se pueden escribir los nombres de sus seres queridos en nuestro libro de la parroquia de la memoria a la pila bautismal.
TODOS LOS LECTORES tendrán una junta el lunes, 13 de Noviembre a las 7pm en la iglesia. Los materiales para el Ciclo B estarán disponibles y los calendarios para las liturgias de noviembre y diciembre. Si no podrá asistir favor de avisar solo
a Mary Lou Juster - [email protected].
HOJAS OTOÑALES En el otoño, al ver las hojas secarse y caer por doquier, y las noches hacerse más largas, es natural
que nuestros pensamientos se dirijan al fin de nuestra vida. Puede que nos preguntemos si estaremos listos cuando el Señor venga a nuestro encuentro. Tal vez hemos vivido la muerte súbita e inesperada de un ser amado. Quizá hayamos hecho vigilia junto a alguien que murió lentamente. De ser así, sabemos que la muerte es una realidad impredecible y siempre presente en cada vida humana.
¿Cómo hemos de vivir nuestras vidas ante tal conocimiento? ¿Qué es lo sabio y prudente? La Sa-grada Escritura de hoy trata sobre estas preguntas. No hemos de vivir como si fuéramos inmortales y nadie pudiera hacernos daño. Tampoco hemos de vivir en temor y desesperanza, como si ya estuviéramos muer-tos. Pablo dice a los tesalonicenses que se consuelen unos a otros con el conocimiento de que nos reunire-mos con nuestros seres queridos en la eternidad. Jesús dice a sus discípulos que no sean necios y piensen que basta tener apenas un mínimo de fe, esperanza y amor.
¡PERMANEZCAN DESPIERTOS!
¿Cómo, entonces, debemos vivir nuestras vidas? Se nos dice que estemos preparados y “permanezcamos despiertos”. ¿Qué significa eso? Significa que avivemos nuestro espíritu con fe, esperanza y amor, para que nuestras “lámparas” no se apaguen demasiado pronto. Significa que continuamente bus-quemos la sabiduría, especialmente en los tiempos oscuros del sufrimiento. Significa que estemos siempre listos para la venida del Señor en momentos inesperados, para su enseñanza de lecciones inesperadas, pa-ra que nos traiga alegrías inesperadas, aun en situaciones inesperadas. Entonces, al momento de morir, estaremos preparados, porque habremos adquirido el hábito de buscar al Señor y recibirlo.
Lecturas de hoy: Sabiduría 6:12–16; Salmo 63:2–8; 1 Tesalonicenses 4:13–18 [13–14]; Mateo 25:1–13

LA SABIDURÍA Nuestra tema de hoy es la sabiduría. La primera lectura del Libro de la Sabiduría presenta este valioso regalo como un espíritu femenino, una virtud muy deseable buscada por muchos y posible, por la gracia de Dios, para todos los que la buscan. En el Evangelio de hoy, Jesús relata una parábola para ilustrar de una manera práctica y concreta qué es la sabiduría. Los sabios conservan sus recursos, los usan prudentemente, con atención al paso del tiempo. Los tontos, por otro lado, por no planear su futuro, quedarán en la oscuridad. Las dos lecturas indican lo accesible que es la sabiduría a todos los que la buscan de manera sencilla y sincera. Las palabras de Pablo no tocan directamente el tema de la sabiduría, pero describen un resultado de la verdadera sabiduría: A la persona sabia de fe ni la muerte le asusta, porque nuestra fe en la resurrección de Jesús nos dice que todos vamos a despertar a una vida nueva en Cristo.
