Leaves are turning, temperature is dropping and it is that me of the year we start looking at preparing our homes for the winter me. If you haven’t yet, here is a site you might want to check out: hps://www.thespruce.com/easy-home-winterizing- checklist-1824721? (Just copy and paste) Last month issue we didn’t post the Knight and/or Family of the Month so that is why you see them in this month’s issue. When you see them about , congratulate them. They have deserved this recognion. The Chili Cook-Off sched- uled for October 20th had to be cancelled due to unfore- seen circumstances. We will look at this next year. Howev- er, the Kids for Coast Program will go on in a modified way. We will start collecng used serviceable coats, scarves , hats and gloves. We will have them cleaned and passed out be- fore Thanksgiving. We are also asking for Donaons to pur- chase new coats and to help defray costs of cleaning those turned in. Please give generously to this worthwhile cause. More informaon to follow. Beginning in October, we will be praying the rosary 30 minutes before the Saturday and Sunday Mass. This program is open to all. It will be led on most occasions by the Knights and others. Please join us. See the Parish Bullen Board for more informaon. Bishop Knestout will be vising our parish Friday, October 5th.. You are cordially invited to a Mass of Atonement for all area parishes at OLPH at 7:30 pm.

The Community Life Ministry is in need of volunteers to help
make coffee, beverages and sometimes serve pastry’s after
the 10:30 Mass on Sunday on a rotating Schedule. This can
be an individual and/or couples who will set up and another
clean up after Mass. This service allows time for fellowship
amongst us and is a very important Ministry within our Par-
ish. This ministry cannot continually function with just a
few. Please step up and help. Contact Pat Wyble at 529-
4994.
At the time of this newsletter we tentatively have a Food Drive Planned for
Saturday November 10, 2018 from 9 am - 2 pm at the following locations:
Wal-Mart Main Street and Kroger Spartan Square.
We need volunteers. Contact Roger Boucher at [email protected] indicating
the shift hours you wish to volunteer to work (9-11, 11—1, 12—2pm) and preferred store

Squires, Parents, and Counsellors,
At our last meeting we agreed that we wanted to help out the Salem Parks and Rec with the Half-Marathon again this year on Oct. 13. They need Course Marshalls. It is the same routine as the last couple of years. We go out early in the morning (7:30 or 8:00 am), set up a station to direct traffic, and then keep the runners safe during the race. We are usually finished around noon or so. This is a great event for fundraising in our local community and our volunteering is always greatly appre-ciated.
If you are available to help out the morning of Oct 13, then please respond to this
1. Give me the names of everyone who can participate (parents and sibling are more than welcome. As well as any Knights who would want to assist.
2. Also indicate your age if under 18 (I already have this info, but you'll save me
the trouble of looking it up)
3. Indicate your T-shirt size
