CRY ROOM

In our churches, the purpose of the cry room is to help people with little babies, or small children who may be crying, or need attention.  I’m asking, as your priest and friend, if you have left the crying stage, please leave the room for those with little children who need it.  PS – Even in new churches, the cry room is being built intentionally small to keep members from slipping in there. – Fr.Ruane

REFRESHMENTS – As a means of getting to know one another better, and getting to enjoy a snack of some kind, I would be most grateful if someone from the parish would provide a few soft drinks, or snacks.  (The RCIA meets Tuesday, 6:45 in the former AA room.)

Ruane

LADIES AUXILIARY

The Ladies Auxiliary will have “Keep Christ in Christmas” cards for sale in November.  They also still have

some religious articles for sale.   If you are interested in purchasing any, you may contact Connie Fariss for

more information.

 

PLEASE REMEMBER – Let us think carefully before we order.  When a box arrives, usually a bill arrives shortly thereafter.  Please also remember to check thermostats, lights and doors when leaving our buildings.

 

 

DAILY MASS

The eucharist is a great source of God’s blessings.  I feel that we have some more people who could avail of this blessing from time to time.  I encourage all who are able to attend daily mass whenever possible.

 

PLEASE NOTE

The scripture readings for the daily masses are printed on the back of the bulletin.  We encourage you to try as a family to read these readings during the week so you will be united with those who attend daily mass and we will be united as a church family.

ROSARY

October is traditionally the month of the holy rosary.  We have been praying the rosary before our daily masses, and we’re hoping that maybe a few extra people will join us.  However, the rosary is traditionally a family prayer, built around the slogan of the famous priest, Father Peyton, “The family that prays together, stays together”.
