BOYNE A BUST…
It was my full intent to attend the “Presbyteral Convocation,” or the “calling together of the priests” up at Boyne Mountain last week. Unfortunately, personal and staff health concerns kept me here. My priest friend brought me an extra set of notes from the convocation, and I am hoping to share them with you in future homilies and bulletin articles. Please pray for the health of your staff.
‘TIS THE SEASON…
Join us after Mass Sunday, October 24, as our local Knights of Columbus Pope Pius X Council sponsors an apple cider and donut reception. Add a little “pumpkin spice” to your life and join us in fellowship on the church porch (weather permitting) or in the parish center hall (weather NOT permitting!). No charge for the treats, but a free-will donation to support K of C charities is always welcome and appreciated! Also, the Knights are sponsoring a “Trunk or Treat” event in our church parking lot SATURDAY, OCTOBER 30TH from 2 to 3 PM. Join us!
THE SOUND OF MUSIC…
We are so blessed to have a very talented music ministry here at St. Martin de Porres Parish. Please join us TODAY at 4:00 PM as we are inspired and entertained by the music of John McGovern, our retired Director of Music. He has been practicing for weeks for this concert. Please show your support. A free-will offering will be accepted to benefit our parish music ministry.
PLANNING AHEAD…
Because November 1, the Feast of All Saints, falls on a Monday this year, the obligation to attend Mass that day is “abrogated” or “lifted.” We will have Mass on Monday, November 1st at 9:30 AM, our usual weekday Mass time. On Tuesday, November 2nd, the “Feast of All the Faithful Departed,” or “All Souls Day” for us old-timers, Mass will be at the usual time of 9:30 AM. We will have an additional evening Memorial Mass on Tuesday, November 2nd at 7:00 PM, for all of our loved ones who died since November 1 of last year.
GIVE TO THE CSA ...
Our goal for 2021 is $87,680.00. Please prayerfully consider donating so we can reach our target. Thank you and God Bless. Click to give to the CSA https://www.aod.org/catholic-services-appeal.
