A THANKSGIVING PRAYER
This Thanksgiving let those of us who have much
and those who have little gather at the welcoming
table of the Lord. At this blessed feast, may rich
and poor alike remember that we are called to
serve one another and to walk together in God’s
gracious world. “Loving God, we give you thanks
for your overflowing generosity to us. Thank you
for our home and family and friends, thank you for
our health, our work and our play. Open our
hearts to your love. We ask your blessing through
Christ your Son. Amen.”
.....to the Catholic Women’s Society of our parish

High Tea gathering last Sunday. A splendid time
was had by all the women present. We look
forward to doing this again soon!!!

BENVENUTI A ST. DAVID’S
Ventottesima Domenica –AMolti sono chiamati, ma pochi eletti. Si può essere cristiani di nome senza impegnarsi in cammino di
conversione, ci si può credere invitati al banchetto del regno e rimanere indifferenti di fronte ai piatti vuoti di tanti
bambini sulla terra. È la vita battesimale che conta, non il certificato di battesimo
Happy Thanksgiving
Questo lunedì, 13 ottobre, l’ufficio parrocchiale sarà chiuso per la Festa del Ringraziamento. La Santa Messa
sarà celebrata alle 9:00 am. Venite a rendere grazie a Dio per tutti i benefici che ci ha dato.

raccolta di bottiglie organizzata dai nostri Cavalieri di Colombo per dare appoggio ai Special Olympics Per i
giovani andicapati.
