Note from the Pastor

Thank you sincerely to the families or individuals who have thus far responded to the plea for help in offsetting additional costs related to the roofing project. So far we have received 18 gifts for a total of $8,750. Your generosity is very encouraging and will help ease the burden of bills totaling $19,673.54 (not counting the actual roofing work which costs $51,000). We still hope to hear from more families. If you can make a donation for this purpose, please know that it is most appreciated and truly needed.
-Fr Dennis

Christmas Basket Project Preparations

Our parish is getting ready of our annual Christmas Basket Project. Last Christmas, we were able to assist approximately 650 adults and children locally. The project organizers rely on the generous contributions of the community for this tremendous endeavor. We hope to raise about $10,000 to fund the project including children’s toys and gifts.
Thank you in advance for your generosity!

How to Apply for a Christmas Basket

Beginning Monday, November 25th thru Friday, December 6th, project organizers will be accepting applications for Christmas baskets. If you need to apply for a Christmas basket, you must call and leave a message on the basket hotline (363-6080). Be patient as the line may be busy for the first couple of days that it is open. This is the only way to apply for a basket. Please do not call any other numbers or leave multiple messages.

Volunteers Needed for Project

Christmas Baskets will be assembled / distributed on the weekend of December 15/16th, beginning that Friday. There is much work and volunteers are needed to assist on that weekend. For more information, please contact Carol Smith, Project Coordinator at 410-0504. Thank you for your willingness to help out.

Evening Prayer Each Advent Sunday

Consider attending an Advent Evening Prayer Service on the Sundays of Advent at 6:30 p.m. in the Adoration Chapel. The prayer lasts about 30 / 35 minutes and consists of a peaceful blend of song, scripture and reflection. Try it, you’ll like it!

Advent Evening Reflection

Your Faith Formation Committee is pleased to bring this program to the parish. Please mark your calendars. Plan on using this special evening to start your Advent journey. The event will take place in our church with a social to follow in the Mother’s Room near the parking lot entrance.
