November
Now and at the Hour of Our Death
Here
are some opportunities to get extra stamps on your passport:
- In November we remember all who have died and commend them to the Lord. You can write the names of your loved ones in the Book of the Names of the Dead, which is in the gathering space all month. You are also invited to bring a picture or memento of your deceased loved one(s) to put on the sanctuary steps for the month of November.
- The Knights of Columbus will host a chili cook-off on Saturday, November 15th and a breakfast on Sunday, November 16th to raise funds for households in our parish that need assistance for the Christmas and winter seasons. Enter your secret chili recipe! If you don’t wish to participate in the chili contest, you are welcome to come and eat! Cost for both of these events is a free will offering.
