SUNDAY MASS: 8:00 AM 10:00 AM 5:00 PM Dear Friends, This week we will all celebrate Thanksgiving with our own parcular tradions! So oſten we focus on the turkey dinner and gathering with fami- ly or with a ‘friends-giving feast’ but forget to focus on the THANKS in Thanksgiving. This is my hope for each of you this week—to make me to con- sider all the people and things you have to be grateful for, and to thank God for all of them. Each breath we take is, in fact, a giſt from the author of life itself. On Thursday, we will gather as a parish community around the table of the Lord with the celebraon of Mass at 9am. Every family will be invited to take a fresh loaf of bread with them to share as part of their dinner that day. The bread will be blessed at the end of our me together. It is a visible sign of the unseen reality of every Mass—that we are sent forth to share what we have received with others. This November, as we do every year, we are asking for your prayerful con- sideraon regarding your financial sup- port of our parish for the coming year. You can pledge online on our website, or return a pledge card in the collecon basket or to the parish office. I know I’ve said it before, but if everyone gives what they can, then we will certainly have what we need. We count on your connued generosity. I smile to think of the many people who will have a warm meal on Thurs- day because of the giſts you have shared. When I give thanks this week, be assured that you will be among the blessings that I am grateful for.

Dear Friends,
This week we will all celebrate Thanksgiving with our own particular traditions! So often we focus on the turkey dinner and gathering with fami-ly or with a ‘friends-giving feast’ but forget to focus on the THANKS in Thanksgiving. This is my hope for each of you this week—to make time to con-sider all the people and things you have to be grateful for, and to thank God for all of them. Each breath we take is, in fact, a gift from the author of life itself.
On Thursday, we will gather as a parish community around the table of the Lord with the celebration of Mass at 9am. Every family will be invited to take a fresh loaf of bread with them to share as part of their dinner that day. The bread will be blessed at the end of our time together. It is a visible sign of the unseen reality of every Mass—that
we are sent forth to share what we have received with others.
This November, as we do every year, we are asking for your prayerful con-sideration regarding your financial sup-port of our parish for the coming year. You can pledge online on our website, or return a pledge card in the collection basket or to the parish office. I know I’ve said it before, but if everyone gives what they can, then we will certainly have what we need. We count on your continued generosity.
I smile to think of the many people who will have a warm meal on Thurs-day because of the gifts you have shared. When I give thanks this week, be assured that you will be among the blessings that I am grateful for.
Let’s continue to pray for one another,
