November Update from Fr. Dave

Greetings,

This week we celebrate Thanksgiving — a day when we, as a nation, give thanks to God for all that we have and for all that we are. No matter where you are or who you are with, know that this Thanksgiving we at Busted Halo® give thanks to YOU for your generosity to us throughout the year.

Right after Thanksgiving, Advent begins. For Christians this is a time of expectation and preparation. In next Sunday’s Gospel, Jesus tells his disciples to “Be watchful! Be alert!…You do not know when the Lord of the house is coming.”

But are we prepared? Are we watching for the coming of the Lord? It’s so easy to be distracted in today’s world from the real Good News that can save us (did someone say Black Friday sales?). So this Advent, Busted Halo® will keep you focused on the important aspects of the season through our popular Advent Calendar. It offers inspirational quotes and spiritual practices each day for people on the go.

Another way to keep our hearts in the right place this season is by GIVING BACK. That can mean giving back to your church or your community by volunteering, or by making a financial gift to your favorite charity. Next Tuesday, December 2, is GIVING TUESDAY. It’s now held every year on the first Tuesday after Thanksgiving and is intended to counter the buying frenzy that will take place this week. Instead of buying, on Giving Tuesday, people GIVE.

On Tuesday, December 2, all donations made to Busted Halo® at www.bustedhalo.com/give will be tripled up to the first $2,500 by generous donors. Donations received after $2,500 has been reached will be doubled. Want to make your giving count on Giving Tuesday? Donate to Busted Halo® so that we can continue our spiritual outreach to young adults who are questioning their faith.

God bless you and Happy Thanksgiving!


Blessings,

Fr. Dave Dwyer, CSP
Executive Director
