So often at this time of year we remember our departed relatives and friends. A lovely way to do this is to remember them with Christmas Flowers for our altars. If you would like to do this, please drop your Christmas Flower envelope in the collection basket or pick up an envelope in the church and return it to the rectory. We will again print the names of those in whose memory the flowers were donated. DUE TO EARLY HOLIDAY DEADLINES, ALL FLOWER REMEMBRANCE ENVELOPES MUST BE RECEIVED NO LATER THAN WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 4th **PLEASE NOTE: WE CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT ANY ENVELOPES RECEIVED AFTER DECEMBER 6th, WILL HAVE THE NAME PRINTED IN THE BULLETIN ** Please be sure to PRINT the names on the envelopes to assure the correct spelling. Note: Due to the number of pages that have to be inserted in the bulletin, we are asking you to group people with the same last name and not list them individually. Thank you!

Parents, please encourage your children to join our Youth Choir, which meets once a week on Sundays from 2:00 pm to 2:45 pm. Not only will your children receive invaluable experience in choral singing and develop foundational skills such as music theory, ear training, and sight-singing, but they will also learn more about liturgy and provide musical leadership in several masses throughout the year. In addition, advanced Choristers will have the opportunity to take individual lessons and cantor at the 7:00 pm Sunday masses. Our first open rehearsal will be in the Parish Church on Sunday, October 27th at 2:00pm. Please call the rectory or talk to Lisa Chen, our Music Director, after mass for enrollment or further information.
