Dear Parishioners,
This evening, Tuesday November 22nd at 7:00pm we have Mike Pacer joining us at St. Catherine Church for an inspiring talk on how to embrace the season of Advent. Mike will give us some insights on how to spend this privileged time of the upcoming liturgical year to encounter Jesus Christ more deeply. His new book on the Three Comings of Christ will be on sale in the Narthex for $10. This book will help provide meditations throughout Advent. Please join us tonight! We plan on recording the talk on livestream for those who cannot attend. See you this evening!
This Thursday we celebrate Thanksgiving and we will offer one Mass at 9:00am in the Church that morning. Please join us in giving thanks to God for all His good gifts. Confessions will not be heard at 7:15am that morning. Confessions will be available Wednesday night from 5:00pm-6:00pm.
Thank you to all those who helped purchase PIES for FISH FOOD PANTRY! The Food Pantry has started distributing the Thanksgiving meals with the pies. Those receiving these meals are very grateful. Thank you for your generous support!
As a reminder, the Christmas Giving Tree is in the Narthex with the gift tags. Please feel free to choose a tag or several tags and purchase the items for those in need within our community. Each tag will indicate whether the gifts should be wrapped and also give you some additional contact information. Please drop them off by December 12th so they can be delivered on time. If you would like to donate without taking a tag, we can always use gift cards to help shop for gifts on the list. Thanks for making someone's Christmas extra special!
God bless you all and see you at Mass,
Fr. John
