You will notice a BOOK OF REMEMBRANCE at each worship site near the sanctuary. Please take time to write the names of a loved one in these books as we will remember them at each of the Masses we celebrate during the month of November. It is a beautiful way to
remember and honour our loved ones. Eternal rest grant unto them O Lord. And let perpetual light shine upon them. May their souls and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. AMEN.

Hebrews 13: 2
CHURCH CHUCKLE
Timmy didn’t want to put his money in the offering plate Sunday morning, so his mother decided to use some hurried creative reasoning with him.
“You don’t want that money, honey,” she whispered in his ear. “Quick! Drop it in the plate. It’s tainted!”
Horrified, the little boy obeyed.
After a few seconds he whispered, “But, mommy, why was the money tainted? Was it dirty?
“Oh, no dear,” she replied. “It’s not really dirty. It just ‘taint yours, and it ‘taint mine,” she replied. “It’s God’s.”
