Do you have used/unused Religious Christmas cards that you don’t need? If so, please donate them to the Ladies Guild so we can make tags for our 2017 Giving Tree. Please leave them in the narthex box labeled Christmas Cards. Questions contact Maureen Galligan at meg4808@optonline.net. Thank you!

On Saturday, October 14, 2017, at 3:30pm OLM will host a short Dedicatory Concert in the Chapel in honor of Rosemary Marsden. Dave Marsden, her loving husband has donated a Roland piano/organ, Paschal Candle, and Microphone/sound system in the chapel, all in memory of Rosemary. In addition, we hope to repair the kneelers and replace the kneeling pads. Family and friends of Rosemary and Dave are invited to attend and to stay for refreshments in the rectory.

If you are interested in bringing up the offertory gifts at any Mass, please contact our ushers at the beginning of the Mass.

Would you sign up for an hour of prayer for the success of our retreat, our candidates and our team? A sign up sheet is in the narthex listing the hours of the retreat so that you may choose any hour you wish. We would like you to be part of our experience by praying for us while we are on the retreat and to ask for God’s blessing as we reflect, renew and strengthen our faith. Please pray that the Holy Spirit will enter as we share our faith journey with each other on Oct. 20th and 21st.

The Women’s Cornerstone Team was blessed at the 9am Mass last Sunday. They have been working for a year and half preparing for this retreat so please pray for them.

If you are currently an usher please forward your name, address, phone, email, preferred communication (email/call/ text), and the current Mass you attend. If you would like to become an usher please email Bob Morrisroe with the same info. Even if you cannot do every week, it helps to know that we have additional hands for Holy Days, Communion, Confirmation, etc. Thank you Bob Morrisroe (bobmorrisroe@optonline.net)
