FIRST & LAST NAME Envelope # LEAVING RETURNING NWI Catholic?
WE GATHER TOGETHER IN THANKSGIVING
Please join us for our annual THANKSGIVING DAY MASS
CELEBRATION on Thursday, November 25th at 9:00AM in the
church as we give praise to God for all the blessings He has
bestowed upon us. Bring your family and invite your friends to
join us as we give thanks and praise.
You may have notices an open book in front of the baptismal font - every
November we place this Book of Remembrance in church and invite parish-
ioners to write the names of their beloved deceased on its pages. This is a
perpetual book, meaning that once you enter a name into its pages there is
no need to re-enter the same name every year.
Also, the envelopes for the remembrance of souls that have been turned into
the parish will remain on the altar for the month of November, where our
prayers during Mass are offered up for their souls…..Eternal rest grant unto
them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May they, and the
souls of all the faithful departed, rest in peace. Amen. Book of Remembrance
SATURDAY MASS
SCHEDULE CHANGE
While we changed our clocks back to
standard time last Sunday, PLEASE
NOTE that we will NOT change the
time of the Saturday Mass until
November 27th, which is the first
weekend of Advent.
Mass on November 27th will begin at
4:00PM and remain at that time
through the Winter and Spring months.
