WEEK ONE WITH FR. ERIC: Join us on Thursday, December 14, for the next installment of Week One with Fr. Eric.

Holy Communion.
Dinner will be served at 6:00pm, with the presentation beginning at 7:00, all in the Parish Hall.
Cross Catholic Outreach is raising money this Advent with the goal of building 64 houses in Guatemala, and we are participating in this campaign. Please take a box home with you and fill it with coins, currency, or checks and bring it back at Christmas (Or if you would like to give online just click here) Each house costs only $10,938 to build and includes: a 338 sq. ft. floor plan, concrete walls and flooring and a galvanized metal roof, a secure metal door and shuttered windows, and a sanitary latrine. Their current houses let in rain, snakes, scorpions, and they have no way of securing them. With their new houses, they will be able to lock the door when they are away. We have the opportunity to change lives! How many can we build?
NEW HYMNALS ARE HERE: Thanks to everyone who has made a donation in honor of or in memory of a loved one! We began using the new books last weekend.
Envelopes are still available in church with which you can dedicate a book, or you can also make a donation online until the end of the year.
BIBLE OR CATECHISM IN A YEAR: Several parishioners have told me they are following along with Fr. Mike Schmitz in The Bible in a Year or The Catechism in a Year podcasts. I am encouraged to hear that. It’s not too late, you can always jump in starting with Day 1. Visit www.ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear or www.ascensionpress.com/ciy.
Are you or someone you know interested in learning more about the Catholic Faith?

UNITED CATHOLIC APPEAL: The 2024 Appeal Weekend is November 4 & 5, and we will have cards available for anyone still needing one. Many of you may have already received your United Catholic Appeal information packet in the mail. If you are ready to make your pledge or payment, feel free to do so. You can mail it back to them in the provided envelope or drop it in the collection basket, and we will mail it for you or if you prefer to donate online, click on Fr Eric's picture above and you can make a donation directly through the UCA website.
I would like each parishioner/family to return your card regardless of your level of giving, even if you choose not to give. This will save money by eliminating follow-up mailings. I do encourage you to give as your means allow and even to join me as a contributor to the Miter Society. We can do great work by combining our resources.

Labouré Society is a Catholic not-forprofit 501(c)(3) that offers aid to people who are discerning religious vocations and need to pay off student debt before they can advance in their formation as priests, sisters, or brothers. Cheryl Bergin is one of our Parishioners needing assistance with student loan debt so that she can enter the Poor Clare Colettine Nuns. Any amount that may surpass what she owes on her loans will go toward other aspirants’ debts. Please help support these very needed vocations! Rescue Vocations - Donate Now
