OUR ANNUAL OCTOBER MASS COUNT
will be done again the next two weekends.
This count helps both Bishop Jenky and our
United States Conference of Bishops to know
generally how many individuals are participating in our Sunday liturgies in our diocese and in
our country. So, don’t be shocked if you notice
that you are being counted.
OCTOBER IS RESPECT LIFE MONTH,
And this means that we are again making baby
bottles available to help our parishioners
contribute their “Pennies for Life.” While this
yearly collection asks one penny for each year of
life for all members of a family, contributions of
other coins or even of dollar bills are,
of course, most welcome and
gratefully received. Please
pick up a baby bottle in the Narthex.
Thank you.
