Dear Friends,
Where did September go? It seems like it was just a flash and now we're into October already!
As mentioned last week, please keep the Archdiocese of Chicago in your prayers this weeks as over 2,000 pastoral leaders from all of the parishes in the Archdiocese will gather to participate in the Renew My Church Summit, helping us to envision and imagine how the Catholic Church can continue to grow in Chicago in the years ahead while facing issues like priest shortages, aging buildings, and increasing cost to goods and services.
Because this summit will be taking place and requires priests of the Archdiocese to be present, there will be a Communion Service tomorrow on Tuesday, October 2, 2018 at 9:00am instead of Mass.
Here are a few important announcements as we look to the week ahead.
Pauline Media Book Sale
The Daughters of Saint Paul who staff and operate Pauline Media and Book Store will be present at all Masses this coming weekend, October 6/7 and will have religious items and books for sale. You are encouraged to enrich your personal library and household reminders of faith by availing yourself to their merchandiser.
Our Youth Group is Growing!
With meetings on the first and third Sunday of every month, our youth group is steadily growing. Last night they began work on painting the room they will use for meetings for the foreseeable future. Good job everyone! It looks great! To learn more about our youth group and to get connected, contact Megan.
Boy Scout Popcorn Sale
Next week our Boy Scout troop and Cub pack will be be holding their annual popcorn sale. The sales help to fund their camping, adventure-learning, and citizenship programing. Please bring a few extra dollars to church next weekend and support them in their fundraiser.
As we start the month of October, we are mindful that the entire month is dedicated to praying the Rosary. How long has it been since you've take time to pray this meditative prayer? We'd like to challenge you to take time this month and say it, maybe more than once! If you've forgotten how, check out the video below for a refresher course.
But first, for your convenience we have included a copy of Sunday’s bulletin.
