blessings we enjoy on Thanksgiving morning. We will have Mass at 9:00am in the

community. The Jr. CYO is also collecting Non

NOTE…….Our Mass on Thanksgiving Day will be
at
CHANGE….9:00am instead of the regular 6:00pm.
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.

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.

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…“Abortion is the leading cause of death in the black community.
People are not aware of that. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control Abortion
Surveillance Report, 35% of abortions in the United States are performed on
African-American women, who make up only 12% of the U. S. population.” Beverly Anderson, National Black
Catholic Apostolate for Life (The Southern Cross, July, 2008)
