First Thursday of each month, 1:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.

This group of dedicated knitters has delivered more than

provides comfort after a loss or in time of illness or

recovery. Contact the parish office at (509) 747-4421 if

you know someone who may appreciate a shawl.

This multi-parish group consists of new and experienced

quilters. Over the last ten years, this group has made

hundreds of baby quilts for Catholic Charities and lap

quilts for nursing home residents. No quilting experience

is necessary as we will gladly teach you.

Both prayer groups meet immediately following the 8:00 a.m.

Mass in the St. Monica Chapel.

Please pray for our Sacramental Preparation class!

Check out the poster in the vestibule to find out who is

preparing for the sacraments this year.

FEAST OF THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION

Holy Day of Obligation - Saturday, December 8

Make a special effort to go to Mass this Thanksgiving!

“The Eucharist is a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the Father, a

God for all his benefits, for all that he has accomplished

through creation, redemption, and sanctification. Eucharist

means first of all thanksgiving.” (CCC:1360)

Friday, December 7: Vigil Mass 5:30 p.m.

Saturday, December 8: Mass 9:00 a.m.

“Take care of your body as if you were going to live forever;

and take care of your soul as if you were going to die tomorrow.”

~St. Augustine

opportunities to assist in the spring!

receptions this past week: Anita Kernie, Trish Corrigan,

Joanne Scarpelli, Robin and Rick Sparrow, Norma and
