Remembering the Parish Deceased
November is the Month of All Saints and All
Souls and we remember, in a special way, all of
our parish deceased. Anyone who would like to
place a picture of a deceased family member or
friend in our Remembrance Corner is invited to
bring that picture anytime during the month of
November and it will remain there through the
month. Please be sure to place your name on
the back of your picture so we can return it to
you.
Women’s Guild Notice
There will be no Women’s Guild meeting
Monday, November 10.
Reflection and Prayer-Feast of the
Dedication of the Lateran Basilica
Today the Church celebrates the dedication of the
Lateran Basilica—the cathedral church for the
Bishop of Rome, the Pope. In celebrating a house
of prayer, we are celebrating the place where God
wishes to dwell: the people he calls his own, his
living temple. As Saint Caesarius of Arles said on
this feast long ago, “whenever we come to church,
we must prepare our hearts to be as beautiful as
we expect this church to be. Do you wish to find
this basilica immaculately clean? Then do not soil
your soul with the filth of sins. Do you wish this basilica to be full of light? God too wishes that your
soul be not in darkness, but that the light of good
works shine in us.” (Office of Readings, vol. IV, p.
1548). Lord God, you have made us one in the
Body of Christ, and through our communion in him
we have become members of Christ and one another. Keep your family in unity and peace, and
make us worthy to be your dwelling place. We ask
this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
THE OFFICE WILL BE CLOSED TUESDAY,
NOVEMBER 11TH, IN HONOR OF
VETERAN’S DAY.

A NOTE OF THANKS AND APPRECIATION TO…
The Women’s Guild and all who helped set-up, serve
and clean-up the Fall Festival and Bazaar!
Exploring Your Strengths
Congratulations to Abbie Ajifu, Joshua Clark,
Signa Johnston, Tina Kuss, Joyce Murphy,
Carol Panowicz, Angela Patterson, Sharon
Schuler and Sue Slingerland who have just
completed the Fall Exploring Your Strengths
classes.
This process is offered to any parishioner who
is interested in learning about the talents that
God has given them and how they can benefit
you as well as your work life, family members
and friends. If you are interested in these
sessions, please contact Chris (503-665-3721
or ckresek1@gmail.com) and let me know. If
we have enough interest, we will schedule another series before spring.
Drivers Needed
There are a number of folks in our parish
boundaries who are in need of a ride to Mass each
week. RIDE CONNECTION (located on 99th and
Glisan) will lend us a 5 passenger van or mini-bus
each week to transport them, for the cost of gas.
No chauffer’s license is needed. There is
paperwork and an interview with RIDE
CONNECTION around the use of their vehicle. If
you are interested in possibly being a driver,
please contact Lisa Porter in the parish office at
503-252-3403 or email at lporter@qwestoffice.net.
PARISH BLOOD DRIVE SIGN-UPS
Blood donor sign-ups will begin next weekend. The sign-up table will be in the back of
the church after each Mass. The Blood
Drive is Friday, December 5th from 2:00 to
7:00 PM in the REC.
A box has been placed in the vestibule to collect
recyclable eyeglasses, hearing aids and cell
phones. Courtesy of our local Lion’s Club.
