ANOINTING MASSES THIS WEEKEND
Anointing Masses - October 16-17.
Anyone coming to Mass wanting to receive the Sacrament of Anointing is asked to sit on the outside pews. Because we care for this vulnerable group, please extend your hands toward them from your seat as they are anointed instead of laying your hands directly on them. Mass attendees are asked to consider wearing masks this weekend.
PANCAKE BREAKFAST
The Men's Club is hosting a pancake breakfast after the 8:30 am Mass this Sunday in Fortin Hall. They are hosting a pancake brunch after the 10:30 Mass next Sunday, October 24.

TRUNK OR TREAT
The Faith Formation Advisory Committee is sponsoring a Trunk or Treat night October 30. Dress in Mass-friendly costumes, attend the 4:30 Mass and then venture out to the parking lot for treats. Families are asked to sign up at this link to decorate their trunks and distribute store-bought, individually-wrapped treats to the youth. Without trunks, this event can't happen!
