Sunday, December 9th following the 10:30am Mass there will be a Fundraiser Lunch sponsored by the Youth Group. The dinner will be Jambalaya, white beans and salad. Donations will be accepted for tickets beginning next weekend, December 1st and 2nd.

Requests for Mass Intentions for 2019 are now being accepted. There will be a form for your requests in the Nov 24th bulletin; forms are also available in the back of church.

Thanks to all who donated items and/or money to help offset costs for Family Fun Day; to all who participated in the Cook-off Contest and all the volunteers who helped set-up, clean-up and prepare everything for our day of fellowship. (Click title to see contest winners)

Couples celebrating their special wedding anniversary this year will be honored at the 10:30am Mass on Sunday, October 28th. If you have not RSVP as of yet, please do so by calling the office asap.

Next weekend, October 20th-21st, the second collection will be for World Mission Sunday. This joins all Catholics of the world—all of us children of God—into one community of faith. At Mass that Sunday, we recommit ourselves to our common vocation, through Baptism, to be missionaries, through prayer, participation in the Eucharist, and by giving generously to the collection for the Society for the Propagation of the Faith.

We are looking forward to seeing our church community gathered for an afternoon of fun and relaxation; as always, everything is free and no one is expected to pay anything! However, if you would like to provide an item or make a financial pledge to help reduce costs, please click the title above (Family Day Wish List) to view our wish list. We ask that you notify the office no later than Friday, Oct. 19th if you wish to help us out; this way we will know what to expect and what still needs to be acquired. All nonperishable items should be delivered no later than Wednesday, Oct. 24th, and perishables dropped off on Saturday, October 27th from 8am 'til 12noon.

Next week, October 6th and 7th there will be a special second collection for the 2019 DIOCEAN PILGRIMAGE TO THE MARCH FOR LIFE IN WASHINGTON, D.C. Please note monies from this collection will be sent to the Diocese; this is not a parish collection. Our monthly Building Fund collection will be taken up the following weekend, October 13th & 14th.

This weekend (Sep 29-30) we are having a bake sale to raise money for youth ministry, to help offset costs of the retreats we do for your children. Try to have desserts there about 30 minutes before mass start times.

We are still in need of 3 – 4th grade teachers … if you can help these children with their faith journey as a teacher, please call Roxanne as soon as possible.

Classes are now in session for the 2018-2019 year. Classes are held on Mondays from 5:30-6:30pm for K, 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade and from 6:30pm-7:30pm for 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th grade. 8th and 9th grade classes are held on Sunday evenings from 6:00-8:00pm.
