Thanksgiving Day Mass
Thursday, November 28
9:30am
Come together with your Parish Family to celebrate the goodness of God at our Mass on Thanksgiving Day. This is a wonderful opportunity to take time out to reflect on the many blessings in our lives over the past year. On this day, we also remember and celebrate the very first Mass celebrated as a parish – on Thanksgiving Day, 68 years ago, in 1956. At the end of Mass, we will also receive a small loaf of blessed bread along with a prayer to share with our families at the dinner table. (Note the 9:30am Mass will be the only Mass celebrated on Thanksgiving Day. There will be no 8:30am Mass.)
Help us restock the Parish Outreach Pantry by bringing a non-perishable food donation and, at the Offertory, you will be invited to process to the Sanctuary to place your food and/or monetary donation in the baskets. God bless you for your generosity!
Confirmation 2024
On Thursday, November 7, the Sacrament of Confirmation was administered by Bishop John Barres in our parish. Eight classes of Grade 9 students, a total of 122 students, were confirmed. They are sent forth now to live out their Catholic faith with even greater enthusiasm and conviction.
Please pray for our newly confirmed as they embrace this very important commitment in their faith journey and that they will continue to be strengthened, loved and supported by YOU…their Parish Family.

Book of the Names of the Deceased
Beginning November 2, and continuing throughout the month of November, a special book will be placed in the Sanctuary, inscribed with the names of all who have died in our Parish Family over the past year. In prayer, let us remember all of these men and women who have gone before us, “marked with the sign of faith.” May our united prayers help us to better understand and appreciate our faith in Christ, our risen Lord, who conquers sin and death and brings new life to all!

Attention Parents and Grandparents of children in Kindergarten! Designed for children in Kindergarten, this program fosters their interest in and understanding of the process of Religious Education. We meet in the Solarium (room near the statue of Jesus with the Children) monthly, on Friday afternoons at 4:30pm. The theme has been “Welcoming Jesus” and we have covered many topics: Prayer, Sharing, and Community among them. This year, the Program will begin in October. We have expanded our range of topics to include some holiday traditions and explanations of the Church seasons so that a young child may connect more easily with parish life. The program is entirely voluntary – so come and see! If you plan on coming, e-mail Sister Diane so we will have enough materials: [email protected].
