Healing Mass…Mass this coming Friday
December 4th is the First Friday of the Month. We are encouraging as many
people as possible to participate in this Mass of Healing, where we pray to God for health
of mind, soul and body. This Mass will be at 10:00am Friday morning. Hopefully our Knights
of Columbus will furnish a little breakfast so we can have time for fellowship and
conversation.
Angel Tree… We are looking for names for our Angel
Tree. Should you know of any child in need please call the Rectory
at 226-2490 or Irene Stark at 417-0968 to give the information
needed. Please call before November 29, 2009.
Say HI… We would like to be known as a very
friendly and welcoming Church Family. Ushers, Ministers of Welcome and Church Family in
general, please welcome anybody you feel that is new. Stretch out a hand, wear a smile,
and be friendly. Isn’t that what any good family is supposed to be.
Thanks… As you know this Thursday is
Thanksgiving Day despite the fact that we hear much about the recession we still
… Giving… have much to be grateful for. Please
join us for a Mass of Thanksgiving on Thursday morning at 9:00am. We are
beginning our food drive for the Food Pantry and we are asking our Church Family to bring
a non-perishable food item or items………………. P.S. All of our food items will be left in
the Education Building (orange room) until they are taken to the Food Pantry. If at all
possible please DON’T LEAVE FOOD ITEMS at the back of the church. Thank You.
As Promised… We invite all our children, little
ones, through grade six and their parents to a Special Mass on Tuesday December 15th. 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.

Choose Life… If you paid attention to
the media, you would think that those who oppose embryonic stem cell research and a host
of other laboratory-created life techniques are “anti-science.” But this is not
a science debate. It’s a debate about ethics, morality and what is right and wrong. (Wesley Smith, NRL News,
