Father of goodness and love, hear our prayers for the sick members of

our community and for all who are in need. Amid mental and physical

suffering may they find consolation in your healing presence. Show your

mercy as you close wounds, cure illness, make broken bodies whole and

free downcast spirits. May these special people find lasting health and

deliverance, and so join us in thanking you for all your gifts. We ask

this through the Lord Jesus who healed those who believed. Amen.

Dear Parents of all CCD students,

There will be a special curriculum taught the week of November 27th

mandated by the Biloxi diocese. It is about creating a safe environment for all

of our children. Lessons will be taught by grade level through the curriculum

provided by the diocese and the lessons are very age appropriate. In the

younger levels they talk about “Good touch/Bad touch” and in the older levels

they talk about healthy relationships and what to do when you find yourself in

an un-safe situation and how to prevent being there in the first place.

I am saddened as may of you are that we live in a society where we have to

fear certain people. It forces us to talk to our children about very adult issues

at a young age. I assure you that this curriculum is very good and

age-appropriate.

If you do not want your child to attend this session on November 27th, please

fill out the form available in the back of the church and bring it to Lucy

Peterson or your child’s CCD teacher. Your child will not be counted absent on

that day only if we have a form on file.

Thank you for choosing to bring up your child in the Catholic faith. As parent’s

you are your child’s first teacher of their faith and we are honored that you trust

us enough to be a part of their religious education.

Sincerely,

Lucy Peterson

Dear parents,

Our Children’s Christmas Program is approaching. Last year we had over

twenty children participate. The program is so much fun to prepare for. There

are very few lines to learn, fun and energetic songs to sing, and a few simple

dance moves to go with them. There are also many opportunities for children

to sing solos or have speaking parts if they so choose. The program is open to

children from 3 - 12 years old. The program will be performed on Sunday,

December18th at 3:00 p.m. and there will be a dress rehearsal/performance on

Thursday, December 15th at 6:00 p.m. We will have about 6-7 other practices

in preparation of the performance. Our first practice is on Monday, November

28th from 5:15-6:30p.m. in the church. A full list of practices is below. Please

encourage your child to help us tell the story of Jesus’ birth. It will be a

wonderful experience for them and a great opportunity for you to see your child

shine.

Sincerely,

Cherie Prentiss

gifts, and ask that you help us to imitate your goodness, to share our blessings

with those who are in need. Amen.

Have a happy and blessed Thanksgiving!
