DID YOU KNOW THE ACA DIRECTLY SUPPORTS PARISH STAFF AND OUR PASTOR? |
|
If you received Archbishop’s follow up letter, please prayerfully consider your gift to the Annual Catholic Appeal. In addition to the ministries that support those in need, ACA also directly supports the staff of St. John Vianney and Fr. Vu on a daily basis with a range of services from property and construction to finance, from Human Resources to Parish Stewardship. At this time, we have heard from 110 families, about 18% of our parish. We have pledged $57,544, which is 60% of our goal. Thank you to the many of you who have chosen to make your best gift by pledging over several months, helping us reach our goal in short time. Make your pledge here, or use a pew envelope which may be mailed or included in the collection.

In "From Russia with Love," what weapon does the villain Red Grant have concealed in his wristwatch?
Answer: A garroting wire. The film begins with a man who we believe to be James Bond being strangled with the garrote by Grant, but it turns out that the victim is someone wearing a Bond mask, and it is all a training exercise. When Grant finally confronts Bond he ends up being strangled by his own weapon.
New Question: In 1973's "Live and Let Die" Bond is captured by heroin kingpin and diplomat Dr. Kananga. He is tricked into being stranded on a small rock in the middle of a pond where he is supposed to be eaten by what aquatic predators?
