Remember in your prayers: Sharon Simpson, Mary Sexton, Archbishop Kurtz, Helen Lucas, Gavin Francis, Jo Ellen’s mom, Mary Ellen, Norma Cartwright, Dolores Hayden, the Boniewski family, Lonnie Howard, Katie Kon, and Mary Beth Norris.
Also remember in your prayers the homebound, those in nursing homes, those who have no one to pray for them, those in prisons, physical or mental and those who have unspoken prayer requests.
REMEMBERING LOVED ONES: We celebrate our November Masses in remembrance of our loved ones who have gone before us to eternal rest. Envelopes are in the narthex for you to provide the names of the loved ones you wish to remember in a special way throughout November. Place the envelope in the collection basket. These envelopes will then be placed on the altar and left there all month so that loved ones will be remembered at each Mass. Optional donations may be placed in the envelope and proceeds will be used to assist the poor.
The Parish Picnic last Sunday had a decent turnout. If you couldn’t attend you missed fellowship and delicious food, from the hot dogs and burgers to salads to yummy, tempting desserts, and even s’mores. Thank you to all who participated in any way. And the clean up belied there was ever any gathering there!
ATTENTION READERS: Workbooks for readers of the liturgy will be available next weekend.
MASS INTENTION for next Sunday, November 10 will be for the members of the Armed Forces, past and present.
Happy November Birthday to:

*Father Michael's "Penny Catechism" (A fun and informative little morsel of Catholic teaching and trivia)* Last week's question along with the answer:
Question #143: If there is no Oil of the Infirm available, may a priest still administer the sacrament of the sick?
Answer: The Oil of the Infirm is olive oil, blessed by the bishop during holy week. If there is no Oil of the Infirm available, the priest may ask God's blessing upon any other olive oil. In the absence of olive oil, any vegetable oil may be used.
Question #144: As Catholics, is it acceptable to believe in ghosts?
The answer will appear in next week's bulletin along with a new question
