After each Mass on the weekend of Nov. 23 and 24, parishioners will be given prayer cards. The prayer cards will help to spiritually adopt an unborn child by praying for his or her well being.

Thursday, 7 p.m. in the rectory. The length of the meetings is one hour and a half.

In the gathering area you will find a basket decorated with fall decorations. We invite parishioners during these six weeks to write one area of their spiritual lives that they would like to renew (prayer, quality time with others, better communication, reconciliation, etc.). You don’t write your name just the area of renewing. We will pray for these intentions during the second phase of renew.

You will notice this weekend that the RENEW Banner is in its place of honor. It will remain there during these six weeks of RENEW. The rose is a symbol of our lives. The new buds on the rose symbolize our growth in the life of God during these six weeks. The hand symbolizes the hand of God from which this flower grows.

The lettering on the bottom of the banner dates the centennial of our Diocese.

HOSPITALITY COMMITTEE

invites parishioners to put their old religious Christmas cards in the receptacles near the St. Vincent de Paul food containers at the entrances of the church. These cards will be used by the committee to prepare a special surprise for our parishioners.
