The Altar of all Souls has been taken down from the Chapel, if you had a picture that was placed on that altar it is now in the parish office in a box, you should come by the office during business hours and pick it up. Pictures that are not picked up will get stored away by the end of the year.
Han quitado el Altar de los Difuntos que estaba en la Capilla, si usted tenía una foto en ese altar las fotos ahora están en la oficina de la parroquia en una caja, usted debe venir por la oficina entre horas de oficina y recoger su foto. Las imágenes que no son recogidas serán guardadas a fines del año.
On Tuesday, December 15th at 7:00pm, all Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion & Sacristans are invited to gather for an hour to reflect on the privilege they have accepted to serve the Lord, and His many blessings to our faith community. Deacon John will lead participants through this spiritual exercise, bringing insight to the concepts of service, community and holiness. This is in English only.
Our service project for the month of December is “Shoeboxes of Love” for the elderly in our community. They are called “shoebox” projects because the gift must fit in a shoebox. Possible gifts for project: scarves, mittens/gloves, perfume/cologne, bath products, watch, stationary sets, books/magazines, slippers, or lap/fleece blankets. If you have any other ideas on gifts that the elderly would like you can bring that.
Please bring all items on Dec. 7th (JH) or Dec. 9th (HS). We will also need good shoeboxes and wrapping paper if you can bring those. We would like to wrap the gifts wither at CCE class the following week or on Wed. Dec. 16th at our youth social.
Questions? Call Bridget in the parish office (979-826-2275).
