HEROES OF SACRIFICE There are now two posters on the bulletin boards of the seminarians studying at St. Peter’s Seminary for the Diocese of London.

There are also prayer cards on the tables at the two entrances of the Church. You are invited to take a prayer card home and to pray for those who are pictured on the prayer cards. May the Lord provide shepherds according to his own heart for all the communities in our diocese. 40 DAYS FOR LIFE IN LONDON The pro-life prayer and fasting campaign, 40 Days for Life, is now taking place in 24 countries worldwide.

EXPANDING OUR CD COLLECTION Our CD that we would like to highlight this week is entitled, KEEP HOLY THE SABBATH by Dr. Timothy Gray. Dr. Timothy Gray is the president of the Augustine Institute and is a well-known Scripture scholar and Catholic speaker. With fascinating detail and examples, Dr. Gray here discusses the profound importance for individuals, and for modern society, of properly observing Sunday as the Lord’s Day by exploring God’s gift of the Sabbath in the Old Testament. He aims to help us reclaim our Sunday from the hustle and bustle of our busy lives. Pick up a copy at our CD library located at the entrance off the parking lot. HALL PARKING AREA The area south of the hall where there is some parking will be cleaned up because of the pavement breaking up. The concern is that the present situation is a safety hazard and so we have applied and received permission to proceed with replacement of the parking area which will be expanded to provide parking for a few more cars. OUR VIDEO SERIES CONTINUES Early this year, we began a video series entitled, DISCOVERING CHRIST. On November 5th we will begin the presentation of the second part of the series entitled, FOLLOWING CHRIST. The program will follow a similar format to the last series and will begin at 6:00 with a meal followed by the video presentation and a time of discussion . The evening will conclude by 8:30 and it is not necessary that you have participated at the first series in order to participate with us at this one. The series will run every Wednesday from November 5th to December 3rd. Please contact the office if you are coming to make certain we have enough food prepared. This is a great opportunity to deepen our faith commitment and grow in our understanding of discipleship.
