World Mission Sunday
October 20th & 21st
On World Mission Sunday, Catholics around the world unite to recommit to their missionary identity. This celebration and appeal of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith supports our brothers and sisters in over 1,100 mission dioceses worldwide. This year's theme, Witnessing Faith through the Hearts of Youth, echoes the energy and joy of youth serving the poor and elderly in mission dioceses as witnesses of the Gospel message. This year, as an example, the activities of St. Vincent de Paul Society youth at the mission parish of Jesucristo Resucitado in Venezuela are highlighted. Please offer prayers and gifts of support on World Mission Sunday to aid those witnessing the faith in mission dioceses like the St. Vincent de Paul Society.
Envelopes can be found in your weekly packets!

Traditionally the month of November has a special focus on the faithful departed...
On All Saints Day
November 1st,
we will dedicate this to being "Remembrance Time" at our parish. We will be setting up a special space where framed photographs of departed loved ones will be set out, near our beautiful Resurrection Window.
We would invite you to share a photo of your departed loved one. The individual does not need to be a parishioner, and could be a friend or family member of a parishioner. Frame the image, and place a note on the back with your name and contact information as well as the name of the depicted loved one, and then bring it into the office during the week prior to Oct. 29th. (8-4:30 pm)
We will have the display in the Worship Space through the weekend of November 17th & 18th.
The very latest we can receive it in the office is
by noon Monday, October 29th.

Appalachian Christmas Project
Our parish will again be doing the Shoe Box Mission Project helping out Fr. Hoppenjan's parish in Kentucky. This project involves filling an empty shoe box with various items for a child, to be given to them at Christmas time. Information is also at the kiosk, or online. If you don't care to do a shoe box, you could fill a stocking instead. Buy a pair of socks, put one sock in the toe of other and then fill with whatever you like for the child who would wear the sock. If you are interested in doing either, please pick up an information sheet and tag after Mass today.
All shoeboxes and stockings must be returned by Oct. 30th.
Questions please contact Lou Croke 952.891.1029
