Movie Afternoon

The two fugitives head north towards the Canadian border, but before they can cross over, they get mistaken for priests and decide to go along with the ruse.

Altar Care Committee Needs New Workers!
Due to illness or “aging-out”, four members of the above group have recently resigned. Some of the tasks the committee attends to are done weekly, for example, indoor plant care, holy water fonts, candles, altar linens and flowers during most of the year (pick-up, arranging, and disposal). Dusting and washing windows at entrance doors are done bimonthly. Less frequently, attention is given to vestments, polishing brass or climbing ladders for special décor when hanging Lenten purple or Christmas tree and creche, etc. The group meets after morning mass on Fridays and usually require not more than a half-hour of your time in an assigned area – more hands make lighter work. Perhaps special arrangements can be made if Friday is not convenient for you. Time spent helping to keep God’s house in order is very rewarding with His presence in the tabernacle nearby. If you have questions or will volunteer, please call Nancy Kubacki at 925-988-0216. Thank you! |

Holy hour begins November 10th, which is the 2nd Thursday, due to All Souls Novena in November. Let us spend an hour together in adoration. |
