Greetings all... We are back and busy for the Lord! Virtual Faith Formation revved up again this month and we are busily planning out out our November-January Celebrations. The next Flocknote will have our complete schedule of events, celebrations and special Masses.
Special COVID Announcement
Last weekend at the Sacred Heart 11 am Mass a parishioner who attended has tested positive for the virus. As a reminder- if you feel ill for any reason please do not attend Mass.
Masses of Remembrance
Our Masses of Remembrance will be held on November 7: 730 am at Sts. Martha and Mary, 8 am at St. Rose of Lima, and 11 am at Sacred Heart. If you wish us to remember someone who has died in the past year please give us a call at 508-947-0444 or go to this link on our website: https://cranberrycatholic.org/masses-of-remembrance . If your loved one had a funeral with us in the past year we will remember them at all three Masses.
Synod on Synodality: The Church wants your opinion! Really! The Synod on Synodality is a multi-phase initiative of Pope Francis to check in with us, the ordinary folks in the pews. Through our Archdiocese a short survey has been put forth where you can offer your opinion on what is needed in our church today. For more info check out the attachment in this email or to go to the survey directly: https://forms.office.com/r/aPadVsPFt9 Your input is valuable!
From the Pastor's Desk

WORLD MISSION SUNDAY
This Sunday is World Mission Sunday. Let us pray for our missionaries and remember them in a special way in this weekend's second collection!
"On World Mission Day, which we celebrate each year on the penultimate Sunday of October, we recall with gratitude all those men and women who by their testimony of life help us to renew our baptismal commitment to be generous and joyful apostles of the Gospel. Let us remember especially all those who resolutely set out, leaving home and family behind, to bring the Gospel to all those places and people athirst for its saving message." Pope Francis
