St. Alice Announcements
Saturday, Oct. 1 & Sunday, Oct. 2
“Miss no single opportunity of making some small sacrifice, here by a smiling look, there by a kindly word; always doing the smallest right and doing it all for love.”
RESPECT LIFE SUNDAY
OCTOBER 2
Each October the Church in the United States celebrates Respect Life Month, and the first Sunday of October is observed as Respect Life Sunday. As Catholics, we are called to cherish, defend, and protect those who are most vulnerable, from the beginning of life to its end, and at every point in between. During the month of October, the Church asks us to reflect more deeply on the dignity of every human life.
HOW CAN YOU HELP?
Take the pledge to prayerfully support pregnant women in our community.
Walking with Moms in Need is a process in which Catholic parishes and communities “walk in the shoes" of local pregnant women and mothers in need to better support them.
40 DAYS FOR LIFE
SUNDAY, OCT. 2
Day 5

DO YOU NEED A BIBLE?
Several parishioners have inquired about purchasing a quality, keepsake Bible.
One Bible Father Mark recommends is this leatherbound Ignatius Bible. This is the Revised Standard Version - 2nd Catholic Edition (RSV-CE). It has been acclaimed for decades as the clearest, most accurate, and most beautiful translation of the Bible in modern English.
St. Alice has the opportunity to purchase these Bibles in bulk at $20 a Bible compared to the retail price of $33.
