FIAT: Faith in Action Teens! (11/4)
Are you a teenager looking to make a real difference, build lasting friendships, and live out your faith in a fun, meaningful way?
Then FIAT (Faith in Action Teens) is the place for you! FIAT is our parish’s new vibrant youth group dedicated to putting our faith into motion. Through exciting service projects, community
volunteering, social events, and inspiring faith discussions, we will learn how to be the hands and feet of Christ in the world today. Whether you want to give back to the community, ask big questions about life, or just find a welcoming space to hang out with friends, you belong here.
Our FIAT group gathers on the first Wednesday of every month. The next meeting will be Wednesday, November 4th, at the St. Patrick Parish Center from 6:00 – 8:00 pm. All teens are invited
to attend. Please join us and bring a friend!
Mass of Remembrance (11/8)
In the month of November, the Catholic Church prays for and remembers in a special way the souls of all the faithful departed. At Blessed Trinity and St. Patrick parishes it has been our custom to designate one Sunday Mass during the month of November as a “Mass of Remembrance”. During this Mass, the names of those parishioners whose funerals were celebrated during the past year are read and a candle is lit for each one, signifying the continued prayers of our parish community for our fellow parishioners.
This year’s Mass of Remembrance will be Sunday, November 8th at all four churches.
Christ our Lord is the source of all true consolation. Let us unite ourselves with him this November, that, as the Church prays in the funeral liturgy, “those saddened by the certainty of dying, might be consoled by the promise of immortality to come.
Home-Made Muffins (11/21-11/22)
The youth group will be selling delicious home-made muffins after Masses at St. Patrick, St. Margaret Mary and St. John’s Churches on the weekend of November 21/22.
Proceeds will benefit our adopted families.
- St. Patrick – Muffin Sale after Mass on Sat. & Sun.
- St. Margaret Mary – Muffin Sale after Mass on Sun.
- St. John – Coffee Hour & Muffin Sale after Mass on Sun.
St. James Altar & Rosary Turkey Raffle and Bake Sale (11/21-11/22)
It’s time for St. James Altar & Rosary annual Thanksgiving turkey raffle and bake sale.
Tickets are just $1.00 and will be available beginning Oct. 31. The winners will be drawn after Mass on Nov. 22.
In addition to the raffle, there will be a bake sale with a variety of delicious homemade desserts available that weekend….pies, bread, cookies, fudge, etc.
Saturday Morning Mass
The First Saturday Mass in November will be held on November 7th at 9 am at St. James Church.
Starting in December, there will be Mass every Saturday morning at 9 am at St. Patrick Church.
Prayer Teams
Jesus said that when two or more people are gathered in my name, I am with you. With that in mind, we have an exciting opportunity to have prayer teams consisting of two or more people available for individual prayers the first Saturday of each month after the 5 pm Mass at St. Patrick Church. They will privately pray with you for healing, special requests, prayers for other people, etc.
If you want to invite someone to come for these special prayers, please invite them to come on August 1st. This is an awesome opportunity to continue Christ’s mission to pray for the sick and for those in
need of Special prayers.
