Thank you to all who helped with the Fall Fair last weekend. The event was a great success! Thank you also to all who supported the parish by attending and making purchases at the Fall Fair. Some of the monies raised ($3000.00) will go to support the parish’s Winter Welcome Table which begins serving meals this coming Monday, November 11. Thank you to all!                                                 

On November 11^th, we remember in thanksgiving those who made and who continue to make the supreme sacrifice for us in time of war. We pray that the offering of their lives may not have been in vain. Today we dedicate ourselves to the cause of justice, freedom and peace, and for the wisdom and strength to build a better world. May we keep all those who are overseas in our prayers, that they may return home safely

The “Book of Remembrance” has been placed in the church for the month of November. Parishioners may add names of deceased family members or friends for whom they wish the parish to offer prayers during this season of remembrance.
