Hi there everyone! Here's our Flocknote for this week. As we celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday this week, please know of my prayers & wishes for a blessed holiday. Please know too of how thankful I am for all you do to help make our parish what it is.
1) Thanksgiving Day Mass: Please join us for Mass on Thanksgiving Day @ 9:00 am. Fr. Dan Schlegel will be with us to celebrate Mass as Fr. Clyde will be out of town. I will be celebrating Mass @ St. Patrick's, but I wish each & every one a Blessed Thanksgiving!
2) Thanksgiving Office Hours: With the Thanksgiving Holiday, the parish office will be open normal hours next week on Monday & Tuesday & from 9:30-12:30 on Wednesday. The office will be closed on Thursday & Friday & open again on Monday, Nov. 29th.
3) Giving Tree: I am not sure if I will send out a Flocknote next Friday, so if I don't I wanted to remind us that the Giving Tree sponsored by the St. Vincent De Paul Society will be up in the Church NEXT weekend for the 1st Sunday of Advent. Thank you for your help & generosity toward those in need.
4) Thanksgiving Prayer: Here's a Thanksgiving Prayer that we can pray:
To remember those less fortunate
Help Me Thanksgiving Day Prayer
O God, when I have food, help me to remember the hungry;
When I have work, help me to remember the jobless;
When I have a home, help me to remember those who have no home at all;
When I am without pain, help me to remember those who suffer,
And remembering, help me to destroy my complacency;
bestir my compassion, and be concerned enough to help;
By word and deed, those who cry out for what we take for granted.
Amen.
— Samuel F. Pugh
Have a Blessed Week!
Fr. John
