Next weekend our parish will hold it’s annual stewardship weekend. When one hears the word “stewardship” their mind often goes to money. In reality stewardship is to invest oneself into the life of the parish using their time, time, and treasure. Stewardship is a grateful response which is given as a Christian Disciple who recognizes and receives God’s gifts and shares these gifts in love of God and neighbor. I therefore ask that you prayerfully fill out the form that you received by the mail and return it in the collection basket or send it back via mail. For those who did not receive the stewardship form we will have them available prior to Mass next weekend.
Please note that October 17th will be our Parish Fall Cleanup Day and will last from 9am-3pm. This is the perfect way for our parish family to come together in a spirit of stewardship and fraternity. Also, please note that next Sunday, October 11th, there will be a community rosary at the statue of Our Lady of Fatima at 3:30pm. If weather does not permit to be outside this will take place within the church. I ask that if you and your family are unable to come that you join together at this time wherever you may be to pray the rosary for the good of our parish community. It is this Sunday which is prior to October 13th which served as the day of the Miracle of the Sun and thus the closing of the apparitions of Fatima.
Finally, at the end of this month our parish will hold a drive thru trunk or treat on October 30 from 6pm-7:30pm. We are therefore in need of people to decorate their trunks for this occasion. If you are interested please contact Danute Cline (clinenob2000@yahoo.com) or Eileen Quesenberry (bubblyqmommy@gmail.com) by Wednesday, October 28th.
In Christ,
Fr. Dustin Collins
