Part of the council's responsibilities is to let parish members know about our church's financial needs.
Monthly expenses for our spiritual home (compared to previous years) are at an all-time minimum.
However, because of the break-ins over the summer, the council decided to move forward to build fences across the basement day window to protect against robberies and damage.
Due to these unexpected costs, ADT alarm expenses, and our regular monthly bills, we kindly request your financial support.
Your contributions will help with our continual upkeep, beauty, and protection of our beloved church. Any donation amount is a blessing and much appreciated.
In Advance, Thank You
Reminder...
There is a list left in the Narthex for parishioners to remember those who need our on-going intercessions to God.
The list is picked up after the Office by one of the Acolytes so they can be remembered.
Customarily their names are mentioned in the Mass. However, remembrances and intercessions now are moved to the announcements in our Communion Service.

Concerning Shut-Ins and the Sick
For your parish, Diocese, Archdiocese, Fr. David, Kh. Mona, Fr. Mark, Kh. Karen, Barbara Myers, Gary Gillmore, and Art Sill.
"O Lord Almighty, the Healer of our souls and bodies, You Who put down and raise up, Who chastise and heal also; do You now, in Your great mercy, visit our brothers and sisters who are sick."
For a Priest
Jesus, eternal Priest, keep this thy Priest, now unknown to our parish family, within the shelter of Thy Sacred Heart, where none may touch him. Keep unstained his anointed hands, which daily touch Thy Sacred Body; keep unsullied his lips, purpled with Thy precious Blood; keep pure and unearthly his heart, sealed with sublime marks of Thy glorious priesthood. Let Thy holy love surround him, and keep him ever spotless from the world. Bless his labours with abundant
fruit, and may they to whom he has ministered be here below with joy and consolation, and in heaven his beautiful and everlasting crown. Amen.
For the Increase of Priests
O Almighty God, look mercifully upon Thy Church, and incline the hearts of many of her sons to offer themselves for the work of the sacred ministry; so that by their labors, Thy Light may shine in the darkness of the world, and the coming of Thy kingdom may be hastened by the perfecting of Thine elect. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
