ADVENT PREPARATION: Each year we have 4 weeks in preparation for Christmas which is known as Advent. This year Advent begins on December 1st. It is a time of waiting in anticipation of the Birth of Jesus on Christmas day. For Catholics one of the best ways of preparation is by reflecting on what it means to each of us that Jesus will be born. To help you prepare please take home and use DAYBREAKS, a booklet of reflections on Advent and Christmas. You will find this booklet at the entrance to the Church.
GLUTEN FREE HOSTS: If you are in need of a gluten free host, simply inform Fr. Deno before Mass, and he will make sure there is one available for you at Communion.

CAMPAIGN FOR HUMAN DEVELOPMENT: The collection for Catholic Campaign for Human Development will take place in our parish on the weekend of November 23-24, 2013. Your donation can change the lives of our brothers and sisters. Be a part of extending a hand up to men, women and children. Pope Francis I calls us to be conscious of those living on the margins. He challenges us to respond in charity and justice. This collection addresses the call to respond to our brothers and sisters struggling to come in from the margins.
