Many thanks for your generosity Fr. Phil
I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving weekend. Your generosity and sharing is very evident by the wonderful display of food and goods around the altar. On behalf of the St. Vincent de Paul Society and Caring and Sharing, thank you! Our three schools, St. Dominic, Queen of Heaven and St. Paul have also contributed to our drive and I thank them as well. As I said in my homily last weekend, it is a clear sign of our growing from the ‘mine’ stage to the ‘yours, ours and us stage’. Many thanks too, to Rose, Joe and Robert Comella for their time and talent in putting together our Thanksgiving display.
On a different note, please consider coming to our Oktoberfest celebration on Saturday, October 23 with the reception at 6:30 and dinner at 7:30. This is another parish social event for you to come and have fun and meet your fellow parishioners! There will be costumes, music, dancing and a buffet dinner! The Knights of Columbus have worked hard to put on this event for us! Tickets are $15.00 and will be available in the parish office until Friday, October 22nd. Due to the necessity of purchasing food and drinks, tickets will not be available at the door. I hope to see you there.
I know it is probably a little early to be talking about Christmas and the New Year but just to give you a ‘heads up’ about two parish events happening at that time, Fr. Leo is arriving from Rome on December 17th for another parish mission. The theme will be Advent Lessons and Carols on December 20, 21 and 22. On December 31st, we will hold another New Year’s Eve party in the hall. Please mark these dates on your calendar. Further information will be in the bulletin closer to the time.
I hope you have a great week and again, thanks to all for your generosity in building up our food pantry. Fr. Phil
