A SPECIAL NOTICE AND CALL FOR HELP FROM
OUR BEREAVEMENT HOSPITALITY MINISTRY
At present, we need to suspend our Funeral Brunches
because our team captains are either in Doctor’s care
or recovery. These brunches bring great comfort to
families in their time of need, and if the Church can
provide this solace, it is one less burden on a grieving
family. We definitely do not want to see this ministry
be discontinued, so we are expressing an urgent need
for volunteers to assist in all facets of this important
work. Please answer the call to give some of your
time to show kindness and support to those who have
lost a loved one. Call the office today (433-8118) if
you are able to assist and offer compassion to those
who are suffering and help ease their sadness and
distress. Thank you.
LEGION OF MARY AUXILIARIES AND
FRIENDS:
Please join us for our Annual Mass for
Deceased and Living Members. It
takes place Tuesday, October 18th at
12:10 PM followed by a luncheon in the
Church Hall.

Our parish has a need to secure additional Ministers of the Word (Lectors)
for weekend Masses as well as substitute Ministers of the Word for weekend
Masses.
This is a ministry that touches each
and every parishioner. The gift of proclaiming the Word of God and the gift of studying the Scriptures for
meaning and clear, effective presentation are a treasure. For
those who possess these gifts, your talents and abilities will be a
blessing to our parish and a gift of praise to our Lord.
Ministers of the Word read once every four weekends at an assigned Mass time and substitute Ministers of the Word are called
as needed.
Please contact the parish office at 433-8118 to express your response to our need.
