Anyone who would like to place a picture of a deceased family member or friend in our Remembrance Corner is invited to bring that picture anytime during the month of November and it will remain there through the month. Please be sure to place your name on the back of your picture so we can return it to you. Women’s Guild Notice There will be no Women’s Guild meeting Monday, November 10. Reflection and Prayer-Feast of the Dedication of the Lateran Basilica Today the Church celebrates the dedication of the Lateran Basilica—the cathedral church for the Bishop of Rome, the Pope. In celebrating a house of prayer, we are celebrating the place where God wishes to dwell: the people he calls his own, his living temple. As Saint Caesarius of Arles said on this feast long ago, “whenever we come to church, we must prepare our hearts to be as beautiful as we expect this church to be. Do you wish to find this basilica immaculately clean? Then do not soil your soul with the filth of sins. Do you wish this basilica to be full of light? God too wishes that your soul be not in darkness, but that the light of good works shine in us.” (Office of Readings, vol. IV, p. 1548). Lord God, you have made us one in the Body of Christ, and through our communion in him we have become members of Christ and one another. Keep your family in unity and peace, and make us worthy to be your dwelling place. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen. THE OFFICE WILL BE CLOSED TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 11TH, IN HONOR OF VETERAN’S DAY. St Vincent de Paul Next weekend is St. Vincent de Paul Food Weekend. We are collecting food donations for our Christmas Boxes. You will find bags with lists of needed items on the table by the baptismal font. Please take a bag, fill it and bring it back next weekend. Thank you for your continuing support.

Exploring Your Strengths Congratulations to Abbie Ajifu, Joshua Clark, Signa Johnston, Tina Kuss, Joyce Murphy, Carol Panowicz, Angela Patterson, Sharon Schuler and Sue Slingerland who have just completed the Fall Exploring Your Strengths classes. This process is offered to any parishioner who is interested in learning about the talents that God has given them and how they can benefit you as well as your work life, family members and friends. If you are interested in these sessions, please contact Chris (503-665-3721 or [email protected]) and let me know. If we have enough interest, we will schedule another series before spring. Drivers Needed There are a number of folks in our parish boundaries who are in need of a ride to Mass each week. RIDE CONNECTION (located on 99th and Glisan) will lend us a 5 passenger van or mini-bus each week to transport them, for the cost of gas. No chauffer’s license is needed. There is paperwork and an interview with RIDE CONNECTION around the use of their vehicle. If you are interested in possibly being a driver, please contact Lisa Porter in the parish office at 503-252-3403 or email at [email protected]. PARISH BLOOD DRIVE SIGN-UPS Blood donor sign-ups will begin next weekend. The sign-up table will be in the back of the church after each Mass. The Blood Drive is Friday, December 5th from 2:00 to 7:00 PM in the REC. A box has been placed in the vestibule to collect recyclable eyeglasses, hearing aids and cell phones.
