Give Thanks… Dear Parish Family Members, as you know the word Eucharist
means to give thanks. I strongly encourage as many people as possible to come
and give thanks to the Lord at our 9:00am Mass November 25th.
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.
Belated Congratulations … to Joe and Jennifer Liberto who’s
infant child, Madeline Diane, was born in the Waters of Baptism during the evening Mass
last Saturday, November 13, 2010. May God Bless this family.
Special Mass … On December 1st we will
have a Special Mass at 6:00pm on Wednesday evening. This Mass is for our young people who
will receive The Sacrament of Confirmation this coming May. It is imperative that our
young people be there for this Mass. We would like, our young people to do the reading and
participate in the Prayer of the Faithful of this Mass. Mass will be followed by a
discussion with our young people and a hamburger supper.

Carmelite Monastery…invites you to come to their Christmas
Open House Weekends with bake sale, starting Nov. 13th and runs through
Dec. 19th. They will be open Saturday 10-5 pm and Sunday Noon-5pm. Flyers are
available in the Church vestibule.
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. MR
Choose Life… Connecticut lawmakers have three times
rejected attempts to allow doctors to help patients end their life. Compassion and
Choices, the major organization leading efforts to legalize physician-assisted suicide,
then tried to win a victory through the courts but a judge blocked their efforts to
legalize assisted suicide by rejecting their semantic ploy of re-labeling it “aid in
dying.” [NRL News, June 2010]
