We offer prayers today for all of our sick.  Please remember to pray for Kendra Lea, Gerry Wood, Stephanie Sanders, Leah Beattie, Henry Knaggs, Anne Halabicki, Maria Reichert, Elsie Hink, Janette Warnock, John Hoes, Marcel Knockaert, and Liz Burroughs.

Please pray for our Good Shepherd, Archbishop Emilius Goulet, Bishop of the Archdiocese of St. Boniface. 

 

Please remember to offer Masses for your special intentions; especially your departed loved ones.  Also, please pray for vocations to the priesthood and religious life in Canada.

We need to be close to Jesus Christ in his Eucharistic Sacrifice.

If you would like a Mass said, please see Father Joe.

 

 

Isaac was afraid that the men in Gerar would kill him to get his beautiful wife, Rebekah.  So he lied, claiming Rebekah was his sister.  Where did he learn that trick?  He may have known the actions of his father, Abraham ( see Gen. 12:10-13, & 20:1-5).  Parents help shape the world’s future by the way they shape their children’s values.  The first step toward helping children live right is for the parents to live right.  Your actions are often copied by those closest to you.  What kind of example are you setting your children?

 

Please remember  to make cheques payable to Father Joe rather than the parish for these envelopes.  Thank you!

peration Christmas Child is a project of Samaritan's Purse that is aimed at providing international relief for children suffering around the world due to war, natural disaster, poverty, illness  or neglect.  The international director of this project is Franklin Graham, son of Billy Graham.  It is a very worthwhile project that brings joy and the awareness of God's love to children in many needy countries.

There are brochures and shoeboxes in church today for you to take and use for Operation Christmas Child.  The deadline for returning them to church is November 9.  All instructions are contained within the brochure.  Please consider preparing a box for a child who is in need. If you would rather make a cash donation, that would be wonderful as well; we will use your donation to purchase items for more shoeboxes.  If you have any questions, please call Julie Kalinowski at 822-8023. 

Thank you in advance for your generosity and compassion. 

The C.W.L. ladies would like to invite all parish families to help out with our Xmas Hamper.  On October 19^th, Mother Theresa was canonized by Pope John Paul II and her humble congregation in Winnipeg will be distributing these items from our hamper to the poor children in their community.

ITEMS NEEDED:

Canned Goods, Crayons, Washable Markers, Pencils, T-shirts or Sweat shirts for ages 6 – 12 yr. old

**As you know, children are big for their ages today, i.e. a 12 yr. old girl wears misses sizes, etc.

Deadline for bringing items to church is

Thank you in advance.
