Dear Friends,�

� � � � � � � � � � � Fall in New England always brings

unbelievable beauty and unbelievable

weather!� As the saying goes, “If you don’t

like the weather in New England, wait a

minute.”� With that in mind, we will keep the

Outdoor Mass at 6:00PM until the end of the

month and then go week to week, depending

on the weather, but by the first full weekend in

November, we will have mass indoors.� The

mass schedule will change beginning the first

full weekend in November and will be

announced in a couple of weeks. Please keep

in mind that in order for this to happen,

volunteers will be needed for liturgical roles as

well as helping to sanitize the church after

each Mass.�

�� I would like to take this opportunity to

thank our Religious Education Staff, Michelle

Lu2er, Ellen DePatie, and Rob Carlin for their

extraordinary work in pu2ing together the

best schedule to insure the safety of our

children. � While some parents may not feel

comfortable in sending the children to classes

here, I want to reassure everyone that we are

following the protocols right to the le2er.

Everyone needs the space and time to make a

decision that they are comfortable living with,

especially as regards the children. Please

know we are here to listen and to help in

whatever way we can to assist in the� religious

education of the children, either in class or at

home.� Please keep all of this in your prayers.�

�� As we plan the parish calendar for the

coming year, we find that much of what we

have done in the past will be done differently

or not at all.� We need to remind ourselves that

the pandemic will pass, that many of our

adjustments are temporary, and that God is

leading us through this cold and dark period

into the new light which God has planned for

us.� May we take care of each other in the way

that Jesus has asked us to do, to love one

another as we have been loved.�

� � � � Peace, Fr. Michael�

Do you have a Flower Garden?� Are

there those among us who would like

to contribute flowers from their yards

to adorn the Tabernacle and the

Blessed Mother shrines? If so, we’ll

leave the door to the Family Center open on Saturday

mornings along with containers to put the flowers in

and then a volunteer will arrange them for the

weekend.� We have had to reduce the budget in

different areas and we can no longer afford to have

them delivered to us on a regular basis.� Thank you!�

Please remember in your prayers

Carolyn Gelinas and Susan Franks,

daughter of parishioner Joan Elliott

May they rest in peace, and may

their families find comfort from

their faith in Jesus Christ.

THANK YOU for your

continued support!

ARE YOU CAUGHT UP WITH US? Like

many others, there is always something that we

“mean to get to” but never quite there. People

have forgotten that while they have not come to

Mass, neither has their weekly support for the

parish. On a couple of occasions we have

received a contribution from parishioners who

are “making up” for the time that they haven’t

been to church. One way to make sure this

doesn’t happen to you is to use on line banking

from your own bank or signing up on our

website. While the pandemic has taken its toll

on so many areas, including some peoples’

livelihood, please know that if this is not the

case for you, try to get to the computer or your

checkbook and make your financial

contribution to Our Lady of the Lake. We

can’t give out Thank You Gifts as they do on

Public Television, but what we can give out the

love we have for God and for one another.

Something Beautiful for

God Campaign

As of 9/13/20, we have received 189

pledges totaling $596,809. Kindly send

your monthly or quarterly installments to

the Parish Business office. Please remember to indicate

Something Beautiful for God Campaign in the memo

section of checks and mark the envelopes Attn: Wendy

Chartrand. If you have any questions regarding the

installments, please contact Wendy Chartrand at

Ext. 101, or email [email protected].

Questions regarding pledging to the campaign should be

directed to Fr. Michael (Ext. 111) or Wendy Chartrand

(Ext. 101) or [email protected].

Thank you for your continued prayers and

support for a successful Campaign!

Your generosity has

helped many people!

During the week of

September 13th, 18 bags

of food were distributed.
