You may also use a pew envelope to add or remove names or call Kathy at 487-9894. We would also like to include the names of any active duty military for whom you would like us to pray. This weekend, October 4th & 5th, we celebrate as a Church Respect Life Sunday. This year’s theme, Each Of Us Is A Masterpiece of God’s Creation, reflects the mission of Pope Francis, who has captivated the world with his humility and compassion. The Church’s antidote to an individualism which threatens the respect for human dignity is community and solidarity. Are we moved by the suffering of those without shelter? Do we seek to alleviate the fear, confusion and panic that women facing unexpected pregnancies may be experiencing? Do our hearts ache for elderly patients in nursing homes who feel abandoned and unwanted, having no one to visit them?
