MASS OF THANKSGIVING
November 24th at 9:00am
Join us for our Mass of Thanksgiving! You are invited to bring the bread and wine you will be serving at your Thanksgiving meal to be blessed for your feast. The monetary collection from this Mass will benefit the work of our St. Vincent de Paul Society. Please consider helping those in our local community who are in need with food & gift card donations.
Our greatest needs are: peanut butter, jelly, canned fruit, fruit cups, canned soup, granola bars, boxed or packet fruit drinks, packages of peanut butter or cheese crackers, and individual chip snack bags.
We can also use: Safeway or Lucky cards (for families that are able to shop and prepare their own dinners), Shari’s cards (for our single clients and couples who are unable to cook), and checks made out to “St. Vincent de Paul” (to help with the many calls we are getting for help with rent and utilities.)
Your donations may be placed on the table in front of the Mary statue.
God Bless!
WARM COAT DRIVE CONTINUES
UNTIL DECEMBER 31st
We are thankful for the generosity from the many who have given so far! SVdP continues to collect new and gently used coats, sleeping bags and blankets. Our main need is men’s coats in larger sizes; but we will accept women’s and children’s sizes too. Collection barrels are located at the Somerset entrance of the church and in the Parish Office. Please do not leave other articles of clothing at this time.
If you know someone in our community that could use help, please call our SVdP line at 510-581-2164. If you are interested in joining our ministry, please contact Heidi at 510-881-7850. Please pray for us and for those whom we are helping. As always—we greatly appreciate your generosity! We could not do this ministry without your support.

BEWARE OF EMAIL SCAMS
Recently, again, there have been fraudulent emails circulating through our parish, this time using Fr. Ray's name and a fake email address seeking gift card donations. Be assured that our priests at OLG would NEVER solicit funds through any electronic means! If you do receive one of these emails and are unsure, do not open it and call the Parish Office or the School to make sure it's genuine. For your safety, please do not open these emails and report these to the police and Jay in the Parish Office at 537-0806. God Bless and be safe!
