Knights of Columbus Anniversary MassPlease note that the Mass this Thursday, November 18th,

Thanksgiving is around the corner and it is a special time to give thanks to the Lord for our many blessings. We will have a special Mass at 9:00am on Thanksgiving Day. I know many of you have given non-perishable food items already to the Food Pantry, however, if you could bring a non-perishable food item to the Thanksgiving Day Mass it would be greatly appreciated. We have several people who come to our Rectory door and we hate to send them away empty handed. 

 

All Souls… The month of November in our Catholic Church is traditionally, the month in which we remember, with love and prayer the souls of our dear departed ones. Masses during the month of November, unless otherwise requested, will be offered for the faithfully departed. It would be nice to have some more of our people remember our dear departed ones at one of our daily Masses. MR

Adoration Of The Blessed Sacrament  I would like to start Adoration of the Blessed  Sacrament for  one hour on the first Monday of each month. I want to see how many people would be supportive of this very special devotion. We can always extend the Adoration Time if the support is good. It would be nice to have some more of our people remember our dear departed ones at one of our daily Masses.  Our plans are to begin, if we have enough interested, the first Monday of December, the 6th, immediately after Mass.

Choose Life Based on three consecutive Gallup polls, more people self-identify as “pro-life” than “pro-choice,” which is a major public opinion turnaround. Self-identifying as “pro-life” is now the “new normal,” according to senior Gallup editor Lydia Saad.  [NRL News, June, 2010]
