We will be holding its annual Stocking Stuffer event in November. We need SMALL items that can fit into 8-inch treat bags, such as Miniature stuffed animals or Beanie Babies (new), New items which you purchase (party favor sized prizes), Happy Meal toys (new, preferably unopened), Candy (even leftover Halloween Candy)

Are you or do you know someone who has expressed an interest in becoming Catholic? Has a child over the age of seven who has not been baptized? Was baptized Catholic as a child, but has not celebrated the Sacraments of Confirmation and Eucharist? Classes began Sunday, October 24. We still have room for you and your family.

We have had some wonderful volunteers who have been counting our weekly donations since the Church reopened, but we are now in need of some more people to help. Counting is done on Monday mornings after the 8:30 AM Mass in the Parish Ministry Center. You don’t need an accounting background just a willingness to help. We will show you how. We are seeking enough volunteers so you would only have to come once a month or less.

Preparations for it begin now and will culminate in the bishops of the world gathering in Synod at Rome in 2023. The theme of this synod is “For a Synodal Church: Communion, Participation and Mission.” By convening this synod, Pope Francis invites the entire Church to reflect on a theme that is decisive for its life and mission. It is precisely this path of synodality which God expects of the Church of the third millennium. Following in the wake of the renewal of the Church proposed by the Second Vatican Council, this common journey together is both a gift and a task.” The objective of the current Synod is to listen, as the entire people of God, to what the Holy Spirit is saying to the Church...the whole synod process aims at fostering a lived experience of discernment, participation and co-responsibility. Synods are a time to dream and “spend time with the future.” We are encouraged to express an innovative outlook; to be inclusive; to keep an open mind; to listen to each and every one; to capture an understanding of journeying together; and to value and involve the role and vocation of each member of the Body of Christ.

The Vicariate I Ministry Commission (I-ABC and I-DEF) is offering the following training opportunities on November 6 & 13.
