Special Second Collection A Parishioner writes, “We thank God
today and every day for the religious sisters who taught us in
school, not only our ABC’s, but also to love God.” Share your
gratitude for those senior Catholic Sisters, Brothers and Religious
Order Priests who made a positive difference in so many lives.
Please give generously to next week’s collection for the Retirement
Fund for Religious.
Retreat for Parish Women Next Saturday is the date for the 3
rd annual women’s
retreat and luncheon to be held here in the church and the
rectory dining room. Registration will begin at 8:30 a.m. near the
adoration chapel (parking lot side of the church). You can help us
by calling ahead so that we can better estimate the attendance. The
cost is $5 and includes lunch at 11 a.m. Come enjoy the presence of
neighbors and friends and especially the talks by Sr. Elizabeth
Mackowiak CSSF.
Christmas Baskets for the Needy Again this year the parish food
pantry crew along with other volunteers will assemble Christmas
Baskets for the needy. Those who wish to request a Christmas Basket
must call 363-6080 after December 1
st and no later than
December 15. Volunteers will be needed on the weekend of
December 19 - 21 for assembling and distributing the baskets. For
more information, call Carol Smith, project coordinator at
366-5908. Please do not call either Carol or the Church for the
purpose of requesting a basket.
Occasional Volunteer Needed At times the church has a need for
minor sewing repairs; for example on the robes worn by the altar
servers. A sewing machine would be helpful but not essential. If
you could help, please contact Fr Dennis Att: Moms of Young

room with a changing table.
