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.
Please Note… Mass this coming Thursday,
November 19, will be at 6:00pm in the evening only. This is a Mass requested by
the Knights of Columbus, in memory of the deceased members of the Knights. It will be
followed by a supper for their wives and those participating in Mass, immediately after
Mass.
As Promised… We invite all our
children, little ones, through grade six and their parents to a Special Mass on Tuesday
November 24th. The children will be participating in the reading and singing.
We will have a special treat and time together. The desired treat seems to be pizza. We
look forward to having a good time with this part of our church family.
New Comers… We would very much like to
welcome our new families and to recognize them if at all possible at our annul Christmas
Supper on December 13th.

MR

Lets all pitch in and make it a worthwhile effort.
Say HI… We would like to be known as
a very friendly and welcoming Church Family. Ushers, Ministers of Welcome and Church

“Why
Catholic?” Some of our groups are
finishing this session of “Why
Catholic?” this coming week and some have another week or two to go. Speaking from my own group it has been a very
worthwhile and enriching experience, our session usually last an hour and a half. We will
begin the next session of “Why
Catholic?” I believe in Lent. Details later. M.R.
Choose Life… Addressing the Italian
Chamber of Deputies, Professor Rocco Buttiglione noted the prevalence of forced abortion
in China and other parts of Asia: “There are countries covering one quarter of
humanity in which abortion of the second child is required. There are countries spanning
perhaps another quarter of humanity in which it is
possible for women to be bribed with the offer of aid to have abortions. (Newsmax.com, 7/31/09)
Quotes… 1. Opportunity never sneaks up
on those who straddle the fence of indecision. (Roger Lewandowski) 2. “A good plan is like a
road map: it shows the final destination and usually the best way to get there.
