Corporal Work of Mercy:   

Bury the Dead   

As the Church enters November, our focus is on the "end times."    We acknowledge that we will die and that our goal is to be saints with God in Heaven for eternity.  At our All Saints Day Mass on Tuesday, Father Jeff gave the students an assignment for the month.  He encouraged the children to speak with their parents and families about the saints--those holy men and women who persevered in the faith and are good Christian role models for all of us. 

There are many resources about the saints.  Perhaps your family could read about a different saint each day, either at breakfast or dinner or at prayer together at the end of the day.

November Charity:  November's donations from alternate dress and Mass collections will be used to start a fund to help with burial expenses at the Saint Rose Cemetery for those with financial difficulties.  Deacon Charlie McDaniel will work with the Student Council to organize and name the fund.

Update from October:  Thank you for the generous support of the Jesuit Relief Services "Mercy in Motion" fund.  Our donation totaled $307.71.   In addition, the Oct. 12 collection of $930 was donated to Dr. Paat's relief work in Haiti after the recent hurricane.
