November 2015 Prayer Intentions of the Holy Father, Pope Francis
General: That we may be open to personal encounter and dialogue with all,
even those whose convictions differ from our own.
Mission: That pastors of the Church, with profound love for their flocks, may accompany them and enliven their hope.
Welcome to Our Visitors
Thank you for sharing in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass with us today. Please fill out a visitor’s card (found in the pew
racks) and return it in the offering plate so we will have a record of your visit. And please introduce yourself after
Mass.
If you are a Catholic, we at Our Lady of Walsingham receive Holy Communion kneeling and by intinction (both species
on the tongue).
If you are not a Catholic, during Communion we invite you either to come forward with your arms crossed over your
chest, or fingers across your lips, and receive a blessing from the Priest or Deacon, or remain in your pew and reflect
on the presence of Christ.

“And then they will see the Son of Man coming in the
clouds with great power and glory.” ~ Mark 13:26
We will all have that day when we are standing
before God and our life is played out like a movie. When this happens and God asks each of us,
“What have you done with the gifts that I have
given you?” How will you respond?

Reading Room, Kid's Hope, parish, Holy House and Maternal Assistance programs. Shop for a
gift, then attach the selected tag to the unwrapped gifts and place it in bins beneath
the narthex display by December 6, the Feast of St. Nicholas.
St. Nicholas secretly rode on horseback and tossed small bags of gold through the
window of a needy family three separate times, saving each child from a life of want.

Youth Ministry, Kid's Hope and Reading Room ministries.

The Mass on Thanksgiving Day will be at 10:00 am rather than at 12:00 noon.

Come learn how the Book of Revelation demonstrates how the kingdom established by Christ in his Church is intimately connected with the kingdom of heaven, especially through the celebration of the Mass. Learn what all the mysterious figures and images of Revelation represent, as well as
what will happen during the Second Coming of Christ, what has already happened, and what is happening now in salvation history.
This eleven week study begins Thursday, January 28 and meets every Thursday thereafter from 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm in St. Jude Hall. Visit the display table in the narthex and sign up for this exciting course!
