Veteran’s Day – November 11
Every November 11th, we celebrate Veterans Day. Originally called
“Armistice Day”, it began on November 11th, 1919, to commemorate the conclusion of World War I. In 1926, the U.S. Congress passed a resolution to observe Armistice Day annually and, in 1938, it became a national holiday. President Dwight D. Eisenhower altered the name of the holiday in 1954 and renamed it “Veterans Day.” Other countries
also honor their veterans on November 11, such as Great Britain, Australia, Canada, and France.
The U.S. Department for Veterans Affairs defines a veteran as
such: “38 U.S.C. § 101(2) provides: The term ‘veteran’ means a person who served in the active military, naval, or air service, and who was discharged or released therefrom under conditions other than dishonorable.” We wish to honor our courageous soldiers of past and present, and to pray for them. Incidentally, November 11th is also the Memorial of St. Martin of Tours, a soldier during the early church and convert to Christianity. St. Martin, pray for our veterans and protect our servicemen and women!
Archdiocese
Annual Appeal
The Four “Ps” for Financial Generosity
Make a PLANNED Gift – God expects more than your occasional gift. Be sacramental in the way you respond to God’s generosity. Be generous in good times and in bad.
Make your gift a PRIORITY – God asks for our “first fruits,” not our leftovers. Place God before all other scheduled payments in your budget.
Give a PERCENTAGE of your income – In the Old Testament God required a tithe, a tenth (10%) of gross income. If 10% is not possible, give a stretch gift that is meaningful to you.
Make a PROGRESSIVE increase – Jesus calls us to give up everything and follow him. “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor.” Matthew 19:21
