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.

 

 Did you know that Pope John Paul II declared this year as the year of the Rosary?

To pray the Rosary is a way to be with Jesus and Mary.  We are meditating on their life from the Gospels.

You are invited to join us Tuesday-Friday 8:40 a.m. all year to recite the Rosary.

 God’s Invitation To Enter Into Rest

God had given the Israelites the opportunity to enter Canaan, but they disobeyed and failed to enter.  Now God offers us the opportunity to enter his ultimate place of rest – He invites us to come to Christ.  To enter his rest, you must believe that God has this relationship in mind for you; you must stop trying to create it; you must trust in Christ for it; and you must determine to obey him.

Today is the best time to find peace with God.  Tomorrow may be too late.

“Today you must listen to his voice.  Don’t harden your hearts against him.”

Hebrews 4: 6-7

Christmas is Coming!  The shoeboxes have arrived!

O

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.
