On Veterans Day, Trinity honored our nation's veterans in a school-wide assembly, with special attention to the contributions made by minority soldiers. The work of Asian American, Native American, and Black veterans were highlighted, with focus on special sacrifices these groups have made and the significant impact they have had on our nation's history. Sister Susan, Miss Kiker, Mrs. Jarrett, and Mrs. Meagher worked with our students to prepare an assembly that was highly informative while honoring veterans at the same time. Students and faculty were also touched by Trinity students who stood in honor of family members who have served.

Jesus told his disciples this parable: "A man going on a journey called in his servants and entrusted his possessions to them. To one he gave five talents; to another, two; to a third, one--to each according to his ability. Then he went away. Immediately the one who received five talents went and traded with them, and made another five. Likewise, the one who received two made another two. But the man who received one went off and dug a hole in the ground and buried his master's money. After a long time the master of those servants came back and settled accounts with them.

The one who had received five talents came forward bringing the additional five. He said, 'Master, you gave me five talents. See, I have made five more.' His master said to him, 'Well done, my good and faithful servant. Since you were faithful in small matters, I will give you great responsibilities.

Come, share your master's joy.' Then the one who had received two talents also came forward and said, 'Master, you gave me two talents. See, I have made two more.' His master said to him, 'Well done, my good and faithful servant. Since you were faithful in small matters, I will give you great responsibilities. Come, share your master's joy.' Then the one who had received the one talent came forward and said, 'Master, I knew you were a demanding person, harvesting where you did not plant and gathering where you did not scatter; so out of fear I went off and buried your talent in the ground. Here it is back.' His master said to him in reply, 'You wicked, lazy servant! So you knew that I harvest where I did not plant and gather where I did not scatter? Should you not then have put my money in the bank so that I could have got it back with interest on my return? Now then! Take the talent from him and give it to the one with ten. For to everyone who has, more will be given and he will grow rich; but from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away. And throw this useless servant into the darkness outside, where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth.'"--Matthew 25:14:30

Stewardship. As a nation we are preparing to celebrate Thanksgiving--a time when we thank God for the blessings in our lives. In the parable for this Sunday, there is a call to use our blessings and gifts for the honor and glory of God. In stewardship, we are to take what we have been given and multiply it by sharing with our brothers and sisters in need. The blessings of God are not for us to keep for ourselves, but to share with others. When Saint Lawrence the deacon was asked to bring the Church's riches before the Roman Emperor, he brought the poor and marginalized. As we thank God this week for all that we have, let us always remember while we have been given much, much is expected of us.

Heavenly Father, We ask you to bless our diocese with selfless hearts that are willing to serve You, by serving Your Church. Lord Jesus, raise up from our homes those called by the Father: courageous and humble men to the Priesthood, faithful people to Consecrated Life, and holy men and women to the sacrament of Marriage. Holy Spirit, help us to live our universal vocation to holiness, by listening to the Father's voice and responding with a sacrificial love.

Holy Mary, Model of Vocations, teach us to hear and follow your Son. Holy Mary, Queen of Priests, sanctify our priests and obtain for us many more. Holy Mary, Mother of the Church, pray for our families and intercede for our children.
