Remember in your prayers: Dudley Hurst, Frank Boniewski, Pete Roberts, Mary Sexton, Archbishop Kurtz, Helen Lucas, Jo Ellen’s mom, Mary Ellen, 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, for priests who speak the truth from the pulpit and for those who don’t, and those who have unspoken prayer requests.
All Souls envelopes will be available in the narthex for those who want the souls of their deceased loves ones remembered at the Masses during the month of November. Take an envelope, write the names of your deceased loved ones on the outside. If you give a donation (optional), put it in the envelope and place in the collection basket. If you do not make a donation just place the envelope on the altar with the others.
PRAYERS FOR A FAIR ELECTION COUNT are included in the bulletin if you choose to include them in your prayers. Also, let us storm heaven with prayers to bring to light the evil that exists in our country, the world and even our church, so that we may be aware of it, fight against it and turn to God.

(Last week’s question along with the answer:)
Question #163: What is a pallium? Answer:The pallium is a vestment worn over the shoulders of an Archbishop atop all other vestments. It has a rich and beautiful history and symbolism we can not do justice to here. It is a circular band of wool with pendants front and back. It has three nails in remembrance of the nails that bound Jesus to the Cross. The very special wool from which it is made represents the sheep the Good Shepherd carried on His shoulders, and reminds the Archbishop that he too must be the good shepherd of the faithful who rely upon him to proclaim the good news with compassion and mercy. Question #164:Is Veronica's veil authentic?
(The answer will appear in next week’s page along with a new question)
