Super Raffle 2020 – WOW, what a great effort on the part of Eileen Rega and her team of super salespeople, the Rectory Office with Carol, Sr. Kathleen, Trish, Maggie, Patti, Debbie and Fr. Brian doing his sales pitch from New Mexico. Of course, none of this would be possible without the generosity of our parishioners.

By the time of our drawing, we only had seven tickets left. Outstanding!

The Super Raffle winning numbers are as follows: First prize, $7000 - #045

Second prize, $2000 - #116 Third prize, $1000 - #213

Congratulations to our Super Raffle winners!

Daily Raffle 2020 was worth $200 for each nightly drawing. The winning tickets are: Wednesday, Sept. 30th #36660 Thursday, Oct. 1st #03434 Friday, Oct. 2nd #42121 Saturday, Oct. 3rd #57632 Sunday, Oct. 4th #36546

We look forward to next year’s Daily and Super Raffle, and hope and pray they will be drawn during our Annual Italian Feast. Since we were only seven tickets shy of selling out our Super Raffle this year, let’s shoot for selling all our Super Raffle tickets next year. After all, let’s remember Fr. Brian’s mantra, “You’ve got to be in it to win it.” Thanks again for your tremendous support of our Parish.

May God bless you!

Mission Appeal - October 24-25 The Servants of the Lord and the Virgin of Matará (www.servidoras.org or www.ssvmmissions.org ), a missionary Institute of religious sisters, are happy to be given the opportunity to speak at Our Lady of Lourdes for the mission appeal on October 24/25. From our beginnings in San Rafael, Argentina in 1988 we have grown to over 1200 sisters missioning in almost 40 different countries throughout the world. We strive to go where the presence of religious sisters is most needed. Although we are an international community, we have been blessed with many vocations from the United States, a bit over 100 at present. This appeal allows us to inform the members of your parish about our mission work in Papua, New Guinea. As you may imagine, our missions in places like Papua, New Guinea are in great need of support. The sisters work with children and poor families in human and religious development, specifically providing medical care and educating in hygiene. They also have a home for girls that currently houses and provides for all of the needs of about 25 girls. As you may know, Papua is not economically stable at present. For this reason missionaries do not re-ceive much help from the local people who very often, themselves, lack even basic necessities. Thank you, Msgr. McNamara, for giving us this opportunity to speak at Our Lady of Lourdes and share with you about our mission in Papua. As we daily strive to help those in need, we are most grateful to all of you for your prayers, contributions and generosity, truly a grace from God and a consolation for our missionary. Please be assured of our prayers for all of you, as well!

- Mother Mary of the Incarnation, SSVM and Mother Maryja Wspomozycielka, SSVM

All Souls Mass of Remembrance We Remember - We Celebrate - We Believe During the past year at Our Lady of Lourdes, more than 100 Funeral Masses were celebrated for members of our Parish Family who have died. Their families will be invited to participate in a special Mass of Remembrance on Sunday, November 1 at 3:00pm. Let us remember in prayer this day all who have gone before us marked with the sign of faith, and for their families who mourn their passing - may they know of Christ's healing love.
