Our parish celebrates this week with Anthony Cullen, who was formally accepted as a Candidate for Ordination as a Deacon by Bishop O’Connell last Saturday. Anthony is in his second year of preparation for ordination. Let us continue our prayers for him on his journey. Thank you for your generous response to the collection for World Mission Sunday. We raised $1,400 last weekend. This does not include those who contribute via WeShare each week. Read more.

Some beautiful autumnal weather has finally settled upon us. The children in the school, as well as everywhere else, are gearing up for the Halloween festivities. We kick that off with Trunk-or-Treat on Thursday this week. This always seems to attract a good crowd and is a great deal of fun for all involved. Read more.

We have already reached what feels like the middle of the fall semester at the school as we celebrate Columbus Day this weekend. A long weekend is a welcome break from the hurriedness of the opening weeks of a school year. Things are off to a good start there, and all seems to be going quite well. Those of you who have children in the eighth grade, realize that this is the time to have that school conversation and talk about where your child hopes to attend high school. There are so many excellent choices in our area, so a decision is not to be made lightly. Most of the schools are having their open houses in the next week or so, and the entrance/placement exams are just around the corner. Read more.

October, the Month of the Holy Rosary, is also Pro-Life Awareness Month. We are grateful to Deacon Rich for his efforts in coordinating the parish activities and events that focus our attention on the multifaceted nature of pro-life activities. Read more.
