All Souls’ Memorials and Mass
Everyone is invited to take either a “saint figure” on
which to write the name of a loved one who has passed
away or a memory sheet where you may include a photo
and write a little message about your loved one. We will
display them all in the Church so parishioners can pray
for them too.
On Sunday, November 2rd at the 10 AM Mass,
the 4th grade children will share stories about some
lesser known saints of modern times. Refreshments
downstairs after Mass!
Treats for the Homebound
This Thursday, October 30th before 9 AM,
all parishioners are invited to bring candy and cookies to
the church basement for our All Hallows’ Eve gi baskets.
Each year, St. Mark’s Social Concerns delivers these
goodie baskets to our parishioners who are homebound.
Several recipients have commented that it means so
much to them to receive this gi from their parish
community.
Thank you for helping to make their day again this
year!
Editor’s Note: Please note the day to bring the
cookies is Thursday not Tuesday as incorrectly reported in
a previous bulleƟn.

Arts & Environment Help Wanted
A Catholic Men’s Group for a New Spiritual Direction
1% of Catholics Can Change the
Direction of the World!
Have you noticed how our Art & Environment
volunteer has been designing and setting up
decorations and working with our florist to create an
environment to complement the liturgical “seasons” of
the year: Advent, Ordinary Time, Christmas, Lent, the
Triduum, Easter, and Pentecost, and visually represent
the weekly Gospel message? We could use the help of a
parishioner who has good liturgical knowledge, is
creative with art, and has an appreciation for what
makes an effective liturgically appropriate display. The
displays are set up in the front Church vestibule on
Saturday afternoon before 4:30 PM Mass and taken
down before Sunday 5 PM Mass. There are also
displays for the liturgical season that will be set up at
other times when it is most convenient, before the
start of a new liturgical season. If you are interested in
this volunteer effort, please call the Rectory at 732-4496364 ext. 100 or email [email protected].
We are a group of about 22 men who meet once a
week on Wednesday from 6:30 AM to 7:20 AM
ending on time for the 7:30 AM Mass.
Our focus is on spiritual reading and sharing.
Free books and free coffee!
As it gets colder and darker outside, why not
start doing something for yourself that is
enlightening and inspiring?
This is not a fundraising group. Open to all Catholic men.
Interested? Just join us! For details, email
Jim Sheridan at [email protected] or contact
Stan Ciemniecki, Thomas Albin or Rich Sudowsky.
