Just a reminder that each Tuesday there is Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament in the Chapel from 9:00 a.m. – 8:30 p.m. We are in need of guardians of the hour for a few time slots, especially the 10:30 – 11:30 a.m. time frame. If you can commit to a specific hour, please sign-up by calling the parish office at 301-262-0704. If you cannot commit to a specific time, please feel free to stop by any time on Tuesday and spend some quiet time with the Lord. If you are already a guardian of the hour, there is no need to sign-up again for that time frame.
Look for the Angel Tree next weekend, November 21 and 22, in the back of the church. Wrapped gifts will need to be returned to the Parish by December 6. In addition to taking a name from the tree and shopping for that child, we are offering that people can make a monetary donation to the Angel Tree project and someone else will do the shopping.
The Youth Group has two activities happening in the upcoming weeks. They will be selling Advent candles next weekend, November 21/22, after all Masses. Cost is $10.00. They will be in the robing room. The Youth Group will also be stuffing socks for Seminarians. They are looking for donations of black socks, toiletries, and small candy. Bins will be in the back of the church the next weekend November 22, through December 6.
Lastly, thank you for all your prayers and well wishes for Bill Mecca who suffered a stroke on Thursday, November 5. Bill is currently home and recovering well.
Peace,
Father Potts
