Dear Parish Family, It is now time to crank up the Super Raffle! Each of us needs to send an e-mail to our family and friends asking them to make a donation of $10 to our Youth Program and the Education/Youth facility that we want to build, and more importantly to forward the e-mail to others. All donors will receive a raffle ticket for each $10 they donate (i.e., donating $50 will get them 5 raffle tickets). We have made it easy by crafting an e-mail that will do the job. You can take a card with the e-mail message on it from the kiosk after Mass OR, even easier, you can e-mail the church office, Afton or myself (all of our e-mails are on the front of the bulletin) and we will e-mail the message to you so you can send it around. It is so easy and it will produce great results IF we all do it! We also need to pray that the e-mail goes viral and travels far and wide!! Next weekend is our annual appeal for the St. Benedict Catholic School Scholarship Fund. Many of our students are being assisted by this fund and it is important that we support it so that our families can afford to give their children a good Catholic education. Please be generous. May God bless you all as we near the end of the Church year and the beginning of Advent. In Christ, our Lord, Father James Dean

Come in after Mass and receive a dollar off of your meal!

EQUAL STEWARDSHIP

As male and female are made one in Jesus Christ,

so women receive an office in the Truth as well as men,

and they have a stewardship and must give an account

of their stewardship as well as the men

Youth Group News Greetings from the youth director! We have a bunch of events coming up the rest of this month as I said last week, so this week I will be giving y’all more detailed info about what’s coming up. On Wednesday of this week, Nov. 19th, we will have our second-ever praise and worship night in the church from 7:00 to 8:00 PM All youth group members and parents are in-vited to come and worship for an hour with us, and please spread the word if you enjoyed the experience last month. Friday, November the 21st, we will have a movie night from 5:00 to 7:00 PM. We only have the chairs already in the parish hall to sit on to watch the movie, so if you have a bean bag chair or lawn chair please bring it along so that you have a comfortable place to sit. Both youth groups are invited. And don’t worry, there will be lots of popcorn! I look forward to seeing y’all there. Last Sunday we had small group discussions about the Gospel with a little help from our young adults in the parish, so I would like to extend a special thank-you to those who helped me out. I think it was a great success. I hope everyone is having a great week, and I look forward to all the fun events we have coming up during the Advent and Christmas seasons! In Christ, Stephen M. Sylvester

CCD News

We need a few CCD moms and dads to help with clean-up after refreshments or even to help provide refreshments. There are a few already helping, and it would be great if everyone would pitch in and help. The first Pre-K CCD class was a success. Look for the next one the first Sunday in December.

Parish Release

Saint Benedict Catholic School

November 11, 2014 Prayer education begins early at Saint Benedict Catholic School. Students learn common prayers by reciting them daily at the beginning and end of the school day. With month long repetition even the youngest among us can learn the Glory Be, Our Father, Hail Mary, Memorare, The Act of Con-trition, The Guardian Angel Prayer, The Apostles Creed and others. Prayer before meals, with our classes and of course, during Mass add to our times of communication with the Lord. We are grateful for these many opportunities to allow Christ into our hearts.
