In prayerful preparation for the election Prayer to Mary, the Immaculate Conception,
Patroness of the United States
Most Holy Trinity: Our Father in Heaven, who chose
Mary as the fairest of your daughters; Holy Spirit, who
chose Mary as your Spouse; God the Son, who chose
Mary as your Mother, in union with Mary we adore your
majesty and acknowledge your supreme, eternal
dominion and authority.
Most Holy Trinity, we put the United States of America
into the hands of Mary Immaculate in order that she may
present the country to you. Through her we wish to
thank you for the great resources of this land and for the
freedom which has been its heritage.
Through the intercession of Mary, have mercy on the
Catholic Church in America. Grant us peace. Have
mercy on our president and on all the officers of our
government. Grant us a fruitful economy, born of justice
and charity. Have mercy on capital and industry and
labor. Protect the family life of the nation. Guard the
precious gift of many religious vocations. Through the
intercession of our Mother, have mercy on the sick, the tempted, sinners – on all
who are in need.
Mary, Immaculate Virgin, our Mother, Patroness of our land, we praise you and
honor you and give ourselves to you. Protect us from every harm. Pray for us,
that acting always according to your will and the will of your divine Son, we
may live and die pleasing to God. Amen.

MARY GARDEN GUILD
Thank you to the MARY GARDEN GUILD members for
their dedication to Our Lady and their work in Mary's
Garden & the Rosary Garden all summer! The season has
come to a close but there is still beauty in the gardens! The
Joseph's Coat (coleus) is vibrant and waiting for your visit!
As the real flowers fade, Our Lady will receive sculptural
"winter flowers" of ROSES and LILIES. Watch the bulletin
for details! The Rose symbolizes Mary herself (she is
known as "The Mystical Rose," see Litany of Loreto) and
is described in Dante's “Paradiso”, "Here are the lilies
whose perfume guides you in the right ways." Roses and
lilies were said to have filled Mary's empty tomb when it
was opened by the Apostles. Please consider joining us
next spring as we continue our ministry, "Look to the
Garden, think of Mary." Planting and cultivation of a
Mary's Garden fosters devotion to Mary that always leads
to Christ.

VOCATION AWARENESS WEEK Vocation Awareness Week begins today! During this
week, let us be aware of our need to answer God's call in
our lives. That call began at Baptism, and continues as we
live out the vocation to the married life, the single life, the
consecrated life, and the ordained life. In a special way, let
us pray for vocations to the priesthood and religious life in
our families. Our children and our grandchildren need to
know that we will encourage and support them if God calls
them in this way. During this week, there will be a table in
the BWC entrance with information about vocations, along
with some prayers for vocations. Please stop and pick up
some materials. For more information, you can check
out www.gbvocations.org or www.usccb.org.
Vocation Prayer
Gracious God, you have blessed me with many gifts and
talents. Grant me the wisdom to know how best to use them
for the glory of your name. Jesus calls, "Come follow me." I
want to follow you and be faithful to my call. Help me to
see in myself what you see, and give me the courage to
follow wherever you may lead. Bless the Church with
generous hearts, eager to serve your people and to spread
your Word. Amen!

BISHOP RICKEN’S
MONTHLY PRAYER INTENTION
For all who minister to those experiencing grief and loss,
especially within families, that they may be strengthened
in sharing the hope of Risen Christ with others.
That all may work to spread peace and reconciliation,
especially in the wake of violence and hatred. POPE FRANCIS’
MONTHLY PRAYER INTENTIONS
Evangelization Intention: That within parishes, priests and
lay people may collaborate in service to the community
without giving in to the temptation of discouragement.
Universal Intention: That the countries which take in a
great number of displaced persons and refugees may find
support for their efforts which show solidarity.
PRAYER CORNER Saint Gertrude Prayer
Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Most Precious Blood of
Thy Divine Son, Jesus, in union with the Masses said
throughout the world today, for all the holy souls in
purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the
universal church, those in my own home, and within my
family. Amen.
November is the month the Church dedicates to the Holy
Souls in Purgatory. Saint Gertrude's prayer, dating back to
the 13th century, is a traditional prayer that should be in
every Catholic's arsenal of memorized prayers. According
to tradition, Our Lord promised Saint Gertrude that every
time this prayer is said devoutly 1,000 souls would be
released from purgatory. Challenge yourself this month to
recite Saint Gertrude's prayer frequently, committing it to
memory if it isn't one you already know!

God Seeking Us & the Compass for Our Lives”

information about Him, but for our happiness and for our
relationship with Him
*How we can know with confidence today what God
revealed to us 2000 years. ago in Jesus Christ.
*Why the Bible alone isn’t sufficient to know God
*Why we need the Church
Each presentation includes prayer, two short videos a
presentation on the subject with discussion concluding with
a personal life application. Please join our parish
community on this night. Look forward to seeing you!
Barbara Conder, Adult Faith Formation Coordinator
What does Symbolon Mean? If we are going on a journey, we want to make sure we are
going in the right direction. In our walk with God, how do
we know that we are following what Jesus and his apostles
really taught? The way the early Christians did this was by
developing a short statement of faith called the Creed,
which summed up core Christian beliefs that had been
passed on to them. This creed served as a sign of unity
between believers, connecting them with the beliefs of the
early Church. The Greek word symbolon often referred to a
clay seal that was broken in half and shared between two
people. When the two pieces were drawn together and
matched up perfectly, it confirmed the unity of beliefs
between the two people.
CREDO FAITH FORMATION CALLING ALL TEENS IN GRADES 9-12:

dedicated to Our Lady of Perpetual Help, especially on
Marian feast days. If you’d like to help sponsor flowers,
please call the parish office at 432-4348. Providing flowers
