October- the Month of the Rosary

The month of October is dedicated to the Holy Rosary. 
A decade of the rosary will be said 15 minutes before the weekend masses throughout October.  Please join us.

According to an account by fifteenth-century Dominican, Alan de la Roch, Mary appeared to St Dominic in 1206 after he had been praying and doing severe penance because of his lack of success in combating the Albigensian heresy.  Mary praised him for his valiant fight against the heretics and then gave him the Rosary as a mighty weapon, explained its uses and efficacy, and told him to preach it to others.  

On November 4th & 5th, we will be celebrating Commitment Weekend.  At all Masses, all individuals and families will be invited to complete a form to indicate they have already made a gift, will record a pledge or offer an intention of prayer should they not be in a financial position to support the campaign. It will be a joyous opportunity to support the parish and school during our campaign.
 
To all volunteers and families who have contributed to the campaign and for those still considering a commitment, we thank you. Together, we will continue to build for our future and the success of the Honor the Past, Embrace the Present, Secure the Future Capital Campaign.

Franciscan Morning Prayer
Jesus, Lord, I offer you this new day because I believe in you, love you, hope all things in you and thank you for your blessings. I am sorry for having offended you and forgive everyone who has offended me. Lord, look on me and leave me in peace and courage and your humble wisdom that I may serve others with joy, and be pleasing to you all day.
Amen

[From my friend M., who prefers to remain anonymous. Thank you.]
