Welcome!! We are glad you came to join with us in our worship today. We hope that you have
felt God’s love in a new, refreshing way…
From Fr. Tony:
This weekend, we celebrate the feast of All Soul’s.
Throughout this weekend and this month of November, we
pay special attention and draw our attention and prayers to
our loved ones and all who have died. As I mentioned in
my homily this weekend, they need our prayers.
Obviously, it is through God’s grace alone that they are
saved. However, our prayers are helpful and effective in
their salvation. All of us are on a journey to our Lord.
Some of us, because of human weakness, take a longer
path and need more prayers to help us get through
purgatory. Purgatory isn’t seen as a bad thing but helps us
on our journey. It helps us to be purged of our sins so that
our destination will soon be in heaven. Therefore, keep
praying for our deceased loved ones. Offer Masses for
them, which is the highest form of prayer. Remember, we
are all on a journey to our Lord, and together, with God’s
grace, we will get there. Speaking of journey, enjoy:
DIRECTIONS TO OUR FATHER'S HOUSE
Make a Right onto Believeth Blvd.
Keep straight and go through the Green Light, which is
Jesus Christ.
There, you must turn onto the Bridge of Faith, which is
over troubled waters.
When you get off the bridge, make a Right turn and Keep
Straight.
You are on the King's Highway - Heaven-bound.
Keep going for three miles: One for the Father, One for
the Son, and One for the Holy Ghost.
Then exit off onto Grace Blvd.
From there, make a Right turn on Gospel Lane.
Keep Straight and then make another Right on Prayer
Road.
As you go on your way Yield Not to the traffic on
Temptation Ave.
Also avoid SIN STREET because it is a DEAD END.
Pass up Envy Drive, and Hate Avenue.
Also, pass Hypocrisy Street, Gossiping Lane, and
Backbiting Blvd.
However, you have to go down Long-suffering Lane,
Persecution Blvd. and Trials and Tribulations Ave.
But that's all right, because VICTORY Street is straight
ahead!
AMEN!!!!!
We could use these directions to get to our Father, or let
Christ, who is the True Bus Driver guide us instead!!!
Christ Knows the Way, Let Him Guide Us!!!
A SPECIAL THANKS TO…
 All who attended the training session for extraordinary
ministers of Holy Communion this past week. God
truly has blessed our Church with people who are able
to offer our Lord in Holy Communion, and set the
example also by their lives. If you were unable to
attend, please pick up your packets in the back of the
churches.
Christ through Mary, Fr. Tony

Stewardship:
“Here’s the ironic thing about people who are
generous. Those that give freely and cheerfully do not do
it to be rewarded. They do it to show their love for God
and their neighbors. Yet, because of their generosity, they
typically are given more than they gave away!”

Request for Parish Members to Complete Surveys:
The New Ulm Diocesan Schools Planning Committee
is requesting parish members of parishes served by a
Catholic school to complete two online surveys: a Schools
Catholic Identity Defining Characteristics Survey and a
Schools Program Effectiveness Survey. Questions for both
surveys are based on the National Standards and
Benchmarks for Effective Elementary and Secondary
Catholic Schools.
Catholic school staff and students (grades 5-12) have
completed similar surveys. Parents have also been asked
to complete the surveys. The results will be tabulated and
analyzed for all of the fifteen schools within the Diocese
of New Ulm in preparation for the Diocesan Plan for
Schools. This document will assist the diocese and
individual schools in future planning efforts. Individual
schools may use the results as they complete or update
school strategic planning efforts to meet school
accreditation requirements.
Surveys
are
accessible
online
at
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/CICmty
and
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/DNUSCH
Please consider completing both surveys (one at each
link provided). For those not able to complete the surveys
online, printed copies of the surveys are available through
the local school office. Thank you for taking the time to
complete the surveys prior to Nov. 20.
Thank you to all who came to our Matching Grant
Sauerkraut Fundraiser last Sunday. Your generosity is
always appreciated! We raised $2,155 for St. Anne’s
School. With the matching grant from our CUF State
office, we are proudly donating over $4,000 to our school!
A special thank you to all St. Anne’s CUF members for
your hard work and donations as well. We could not be
successful without you!
