WEEKLY REFLECTION October 9, 2016 The 28th Sunday in Ordinary Time “Has none but this foreigner returned to give thanks to God?” Luke 17:18 Most of us live “easy” lives. We have food, shelter and clothing. We go on vacation every year and own a car or two. Most of us take this all for granted. Did you ever notice that people with the least amount of possessions are usually the most grateful? Shouldn’t this be the other way around? Take time every day and thank God for all He has given you.

Featuring the Czechaholics band. Beer Stein & Costume Contest! Tickets are $20 in advance or $25 at the door. Contact a Knight for tickets.

You and your car are needed! Sign-up to bring your car and candy to Emmaus’ Annual
