Beginning on November 29, there will be Adoration at St. Patrick’s from 12:30pm – 6pm. Someone needs to always be present in the Church while Our Lord is exposed in the Monstrance .

Cross Catholic Outreach provides for the needs of the poorest of the poor in dioceses around the world. Once again, we are excited to be participating in CCO’s Box of Joy program, which enables children in these impoverished countries to experience the joy of Christmas in a special
way. By packing Christmas gift boxes for girls & boys from ages 2 to 14 and sponsoring the cost of the shipment, we can deliver Boxes of Joy to children overseas who would otherwise receive nothing. We will be collecting donations for the boxes at each site from Oct. 8 – 23. Our youth will
collect cash donations for shipping on the weekend of Oct. 29 – 30 & they will be packing the boxes on the afternoon of Oct. 30. Please help us out with this project by donating items for the boxes and cash donations to help with shipping.

Box of Joy flyers with information & suggestions for gift donations are available at each church site. Please pick one up if you are interested in helping us out! Call Julie Durand (687-5607) for more details.

Heavenly Father,

We thank you for the prayers of the saints and we pray for the souls who will one day be united with You. We ask for vocations to all religious life. May voters seek Your Will before choosing their candidates. We thank current members and all veterans of the armed forces for their protection through the years. We give thanks for Your watchful eye on our country and pray You continue to do so. We seek Your guidance in eradicating disease. We hope to make this a Holy Advent in preparation for the arrival of Your Son. We ask these in honor of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary and in the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe

Amen.
