St. Vincent de Paul is raffling off a brand new 2017 Ford Fusion S from King Ford! A little over 150 tickets remain out of 300 available tickets. Tickets are $100 each: if you buy 5 tickets you get one free! See any SVdP team member or stop by the Parish Office to purchase your ticket. If you don’t need a new car, you have the option of $15,000 in cash. Remember you can form a group and share the cost of the ticket and cash in on the cash if you are the lucky winner! Thank you for your continued support.

The Ladies Guild Annual Christmas Boutique is the weekend of December 2nd and 3rd before and after Mass. So to all of you very talented people - we need your super items for the sale. Sewing, crocheting, knitting, baking and quilting - all are welcome. Thank you for your continued support of our ministry.

The Marine Corp is again sponsoring their annual Toys for Tots Campaign. Their Toy Box is sitting in the Commons, and your unwrapped new gifts are much appreciated. There is a great need for gifts for children ages 9 to 14. One of the best ways to make sure these children are remembered is through a check made out to “Toys for Tots”. You can give the check to Bob Schmitt or to Gail Maloof at the church office. Please put your donation in an envelope clearly marked “Toys for Tots” in the weekend collection basket. Your continued generosity is a hallmark of your Christian Love.

Our Prayerful Hands Shawl Ministry has created Pocket Prayers for our military and 1st Responders. If you have a family member in these professions, please feel free to take one from the basket in the Commons to send to your loved one. These are little reminders that those who serve to protect us and our freedoms are in our prayers.

Our traditional Parish Thanksgiving Dinner will include turkey, stuffing, potatoes and gravy (provided by our Social Organizations). However, a sign up sheet is on the Bulletin Board in the Commons for side dishes. Bring your favorite side dish and join fellow parishioners in thanksgiving for all of God’s gifts to us.
