COMMUNICATION CENSUS SURVEY Last spring we embarked on an effort we called a "Communication Census." Our goal is to create a more solid line of communication between the parishioners and the staff & leadership of the parish. In conjunction with that effort, we have also launched an on-line survey tool. The first survey is available now and will remain active throughout the month of November. It should take less than 5 minutes to complete and can be launched by going to our website (www.ourladyoflourdesutica.org) and clicking on the 'Launch Survey Here' link in the 'Keeping in Touch' section found on the right hand side of the home page. Depending on the feedback we receive, we'd like to launch similar surveys, on various topics, throughout the year. Quick, simple surveys of this nature are a great tool for helping us to easily gather and quantify your feedback on virtually any topic. Thank you for your anticipated participation. LEND A HELPING HAND Support the Thea Bowman Food Pantry once again!!! Lend a helping hand… please bring non-perishable food items to church next weekend. DID YOU KNOW… Pope Francis word’s on minors crossing US border: “Such a humanitarian emergency demands as a first urgent measure that these minors be protected and duly taken in.” The Pope noted that when children travel alone, “They cross the border under extreme conditions, in pursuit of a hope that in most cases turns out to be vain.” To the international community he asserts: “Adopt new immigration measures that are legal and safe.” ~a note from The Our Lady of Lourdes Social Justice Committee FAITH FORMATION & LIFETEEN NEWS Our next faith formation class for grades PreK-8 is Sunday, November 9th from 10:00am-11:00am.
