THANKSGIVING We are hoping that many of our people will make a special effort to give thanks to the Lord for the blessings we enjoy on Thanksgiving morning. We will have Mass at 9:00am in the morning. We are asking our people to bring, as we have in the last couple of years, a Non-Perishable item or items. We will pass these food items on to the Food Pantry to help the needy in our community. The Jr. CYO is also collecting Non -Perishable food items for this cause. 

 

PLEASE… In order to keep our Church neat and tidy and be fitting the dignity for which it is used we are asking you not to drop off food items in the church prior to Thanksgiving Day.

 

PARISH NEWCOMERS WELCOME We encourage all of our new parish family members to try to be with us for our Christmas Supper, so that we can acknowledge them and welcome them. This will include anybody who has come to our parish in the last year or two. 

 

                                                     

      DATES            December 10th Parish Penance (confession) Service 6:00pm.

          TO                December 14th Parish Christmas Supper, highlighted hopefully by the appearance

REMEMBER                  of our Catholic Santa Clause with his sack of candy for the children.

                            

C.  Our young people are anxious to participate in the CYO Convention, which comes up in the near future. Like

Y. every thing else the cost has gone up rather severely. We want our young people to attend and together with

O. some of the parents, we thought it would be a great idea to have a bake sale in conjunction with our Christmas

      Parish Supper, details later.  

                                                                                                                                                 

R.C.I.A. You are invited to join us this Tuesday evening after the 6:00pm Mass to continue our discussion of our Catholic Faith. Discussion this week: The Bible.

 

CARMELITE MONASTERY…if you are leaning toward something of a religious nature as a Christmas gift for some body, please consider the Carmelite Gift Shop in Jackson. They have quite a variety, and to help them is a very worthy cause.    

 

“WHY CATHOLIC?” Please continue to be faithful to your “Why Catholic?” group. Try if at all possible despite how busy we might be to be faithful to your group and your time. 

 

CHOOSE LIFE…The provision of nutrition and hydration, even by artificial means, should be considered part of ordinary care and therefore obligatory. Withholding fluid and nutrition does not allow any disease to “take its course.” Rather it leads to another cause of death: starvation or dehydration. Starvation and dehydration do not prevent suffering; they cause it. (Dr. George Delgado, Culture of Life Family Services)
