after the Spaghetti diner next month.
Pick the chore you feel is the one for you
and sign up on the sheet in the front of the Church.
And thank you, thank you, thank you!
With a little help from lots of people, all should go quickly and well.

Prayer for Vocations
God our Father, we thank you for calling men and women to serve in your
Son's Kingdom as priests, deacons, and consecrated persons.
Send your Holy Spirit to help others to respond generously and courageously to your call.
May our community of faith support vocations of sacrificial love in our youth and young adults.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever.
Amen.
Prayer of Intercessions
Through St. Michael the Archangel
St. Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,
and do thou,
O Prince of the heavenly hosts,
by the power of God,
thrust into hell Satan,
and all the evil spirits,
who prowl about the world
seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.

Help for the Home Bound
Some parishioners are not able to attend Mass because they need
transportation to Church.
Do you need a ride to Church?
Are you able to provide a ride for someone else?
If enough people respond perhaps we could put together a directory so the
person offering a ride lives in the neighborhood of the one who needs to be picked up.
Call or email Judie 336-1516 <j.kolbmann at sbcglobal.net>
