PRAYERS FOR THE SICK AND SHUT-IN: “Let us raise up in prayer those who seek God’s healing love, those at the hospital, hospice and at home. May your struggle be consoled by Christ’s love“.

ON OUR WAY WITH JESUS: We will soon begin our year-long program of Sacramental preparation with and for our young people. “On Our Way with Jesus” is a two-part series. In the fall season we look at God’s forgiving love and we arrive at a celebration of the Sacrament of Reconciliation in Advent. In early winter, we continue with the program leading to a ST. FRANCIS XAVIER celebration of First Communion during the Easter Season. The program is a family commitment with the support of our parish catechists. Registration forms may be picked up at the parish office.

THANK YOU

lthough I will still be part of this worshipping comcommunity for the next few weeks, now that the formal fare farewells are over, I would like to take this opportunity to extend a sincere thank you to all who were involved in any way in the planning and execution of the celebration.

This is a social justice issue. Rather than creating a so-called right to die, the law should protect OUR RIGHT TO LIVE!” (from the Catholic Organization for Life and Family.
