REMEMBERING OUR FAITHFUL DEPARTED

 All Souls Day is November 2^nd.  If you would like to have remembrance prayers said for deceased loved ones or friends, please fill out the “All Souls”

(November 2^nd) envelope provided in your offertory envelopes.  List the names on the back of the envelope.  You may place the envelopes in the collection.  There are extra envelopes in the back of church.  The envelopes will be kept on the altar for the month of November.

During the months of November and December, our youth we will be collecting non-perishable food items for the St. Martin de Porres Society.  The need for such items is particularly acute during the holiday season.  Please begin to bring your donations and place them in the collection box in the back of the church.  Please ensure the food items have not expired.  Thank you for your continued support.

When was the last time you did something for yourself?  When was the last time you took time to grow in faith, to grow in grace?  When was the last time you took time to grow in your responsibilities as a Catholic? 

Perhaps now is a time to think about making a Cursillo.  Cursillo is a three-day encounter with Christ.   It is an opportunity to learn more about the faith that we profess.  It is an opportunity to learn how to more fully live an authentic Christian life.  I encourage you to prayerfully consider making a Cursillo Weekend. **Applications are in the back of the church.  Please fill out the form and give it to Fr. Godfrey or bring to the office.  If you have any questions regarding a sponsor, please see Fr. Godfrey.
