ANNOUNCEMENTS

THE COUNCIL’S CORNER

Parish Council will meet on Nov 11 @ 5:30PM. Any parishioners with questions or concerns feel free to contact Eric Aubuchon so they can be addressed.

Listening, in communication, is an openness of heart which makes possible that closeness
without which genuine spiritual encounter cannot occur. Listening helps us to find the right gesture and word which shows that we are more than simply bystanders. (Pope Francis, Evangelii Gaudium, 171)

Parish formation begins with our own conversion. Before we speak, we listen. Before we plan, we pray. Before we act, we seek Christ's will- not our own. Each discussion is an opportunity to build up the Kingdom of God right here in our parish community.


Save the Date!
5th Sunday Brunch – Sunday, November 30th
Join us after Mass for a joyful morning of food, fellowship, and faith! Bring your family and friends as we gather to give thanks and share in community.

RSVP is appreciated so we can prepare plenty for everyone! Please contact the office at 574-438-4686 or simply drop a note in the collection basket with how many you will be attending with. *We will be accepting donations for this event*




Nov 2:  All Soul’s Day

“…because I came down from heaven not to do my own will but the will of the one who sent
me….’” J OHN 6:38 

When praying the “Our Father”, say the words slowly so you truly recognize what you are saying. Every day when praying this prayer, we repeat what Jesus said in the scripture passage ––“thy kingdom come, thy will be done.” Even though we say these words, do our actions reflect those words? This is the difference between saints and the rest of us. Saints were faithful and obedient to God’s will. Start today start aligning your words and actions with God’s will for you.



More Announcements/Information can be found on our Parish News page.
