"Pre Authourized DebitAs we enter the fall season it is a great time to consider using this form of

charitable giving. The Archdiocese is now able to automatically debit your account of the amount you wish to contribute to the parish on a monthly basis and then a cheque is sent to the parish for the amount you debit. This allows you to maintain your donations and ensures that the parish is financially able to continue to maintain itself. We thank you for your continued support for this Parish Community. Forms can be found in the entrance of the church or you may contact the office for more information. Blessings of peace and happiness from our Parish Community to John Igoe and Therea Gouzoules who were United in Holy Matrimony August 31, 2013. May God bless you and grant you joy. May He deepen your love for each other. Our sympathy and prayers for Mary Margaret Mullanes family. Mary passed away Sept. 2, 2013, may she Rest in Peace. Romans 12:5 so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another. John 13:34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. If we have no peace, It is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other... -Mother TeresaBulletin: The deadline for submitting bulletin announcements at the office is Wednesday at 1pm.
