THANKSGIVING DAY MASS- 10AM Please note: this will be our ONLY mass on Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving – a true American holiday – has taken on a very religious dimension, which we would love to see grow. Let’s say “Thanks” to God as we get ready to celebrate Thanksgiving. Find time to join us at the 10am Mass, before you travel or get caught up in the day’s celebrations. Coming to Mass that day (when it is not required) is a great way to say “Thank You” to God who is the source of all our blessings. We really hope you will join us in giving thanks, and make Mass on Thanksgiving a tradition of your own.

“FORMED”

The Archdiocese has given each parish a resource called FORMED, which might be compared to Netflix for Catholics, which allows every parishioner the opportunity to look at the best Catholic study programs, movies, audio presentations and eBooks from your own computers or electronic devices so that we can find out for ourselves what the Church is actually saying about things rather than hearing what someone else thinks is being taught (which is often completely untrue or inaccurate).Why not take a look for yourself? All you need to do is go to formed.org from any device that has an internet connection and enter our parish code: 63VQRV and you can see what you can do and learn. Check it out; you may be surprised what is available to you.

CLUSTER MISSION- WEEK OF NOVEMBER 28 PRESENTED BY THE PAULISTS

We look forward to the upcoming season of Advent and an unexpected “gift” of a Mission.

With the Archdiocesan encouragement of cluster programs and the very successful Stations of the Cross last Lent, there will be a four evening “cluster” event presented by a Paulist priest each night at alternating parishes: St Stanislaus, St Joseph, Millbrook, Immaculate Conception, Amenia and St Charles, Dover. If you are interested in being a carpool driver or being a car pool rider please call the parish office to be put on a list. We will work out the details to maximize attendance and participation.
