Book of Remembrance will be at the front of the church during November. Please write in the names of the deceased you want prayed for during November Masses; or you may tape in a funeral prayer card or obituary notice. We will have candles lit for those who died in our parish since last November. If you have lost a loved one this past year please call the Church Office (272-5777) with the name so we can add a candle for them.

Prayer Shawl Ministry will meet of Friday, Nov. 6th in the Parish Center.

Women's Club will meet Thursday, Nov. 7th at 7:15 PM to assemble cookie jars. All welcome. Please bring measuring cups and spoons if you can.

Family Perspective. The Beatitudes are the Charter for Family Life. Parents constantly address “hunger and thirst, mercy and peacemaking,” coax a “meek” child to speak up and teach the children to be “clean of heart.” When we “mourn” a loved one, our family is there to “comfort” us. Believe Jesus: You are “BLESSED” in living as a family.

Reminder. Saturday Mass will change to 4:00PM on Nov. 7th Eastern Standard Time
