Parish Ministry Fair: November 7/8 during Second Sunday Coffee after all Masses (except the 5 p.m. Sunday Mass). It’s an opportunity to see many of the ministries active in our parish and to get involved! We look forward to seeing you all there!  We thank our Christ the King Catholic School teachers for serving donuts, bagels, and coffee.  We also thank Krispy Kreme and Some Bagels for donating the treats!

Church Carpet Cleaning:  On Monday, Nov. 9, the church will close after the 8:00 a.m. Mass for cleaning and maintenance.  Work on Nov. 9 will address the upper floor of the building; the office will remain open. On Friday, Nov. 13, the ground floor (parish office, lobby, and stairs) will be cleaned.  The downstairs doors, elevator access, gift shop, and parish office will be closed.

Prayer for the Dead:

It is our custom to pray for the dead during the month of November.  Here is the Morning Prayer from the Divine Office:

Father, source of forgiveness and salvation for all mankind, hear our prayer.  By the prayers of the ever-virgin Mary, may our friends, relatives, and benefactors who have gone from this world come to share eternal happiness with all your saints.

We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, God for ever and ever.  Amen
