Dear Friend,
One of the busiest weekends of the parish is coming up this weekend! Just before the holidays start, we are holding our November Hospitality Weekend (November 16-17) and we've got a lot to celebrate!
Our liturgical ministers will be commissioned for three years of service after having a morning of reflection on Saturday, November 16 at 9:00am. (Interested in becoming a liturgical minister? Contact us!)
We'll have refreshments after every Mass and invite you to celebrate our parish history in our 125th anniversary year. In light of that history, we've received a message from the National Federation for Catholic Youth Ministry (NFCYM) which you can see below. Our parish and the use of its gym played a large role the development of the Catholic Youth Organization (CYO) which the NFCYM replaced.

To commemorate the history with the CYO, We'll have a blessing for all the students in our athletic programs as well during the 10:00am Mass on Sunday, November 17, 2019.
Finally, the weekend will also hold our annual commitment to stewardship as part of our Season of Stewardship.
It's going to be a full weekend in the parish! We don't want you to miss it! The details of our events are described more fully below.

Connect to Community - Season of Stewardship 2020.
The annual Season of Stewardship has one goal every year, to challenge us to stop and take account of the many gifts we have been given in our Time, Talent and Treasure. We then are challenged to make a commitment for the use of those gifts to fulfill the mission of Saint Andrew parish. This annual re-commitment coincides with the publication of our parish's Annual Update including our parish financial statement. To assist you in this year's Season of Stewardship, we invite you to complete the commitment form that is being mailed to you. It is also available at this link. Thank you for your commitment to Saint Andrew!
Shoot Some Freethrows!
As part of our celebration of our 125th Anniversary, this weekend we invite everyone of every age to the gymnasium after Masses for refreshments. After the 4:00pm Mass on Saturday November 16 and after the 10:00am Mass on Sunday, November 17, there will be a parish-wide free throw contest. Come over and shoot a few hoops to see how you do!
Parish Food Drive
Looking ahead by two weeks, we will hold our parish's annual food drive to support local food pantries on the weekend of Saturday, November 23 and Sunday, November 24. At all Masses, we invite you to bring food donations that we will provide to our local pantries. Ideal items are canned goods and packaged goods that do not need refrigeration. Bring them to the collection point in the back of church before or after Masses so we can distribute them by Thanksgiving.
Continue to have a great week!
