MASS TO PRAY FOR HEALING FROM ABUSE

With the encouragement of our Parish Pastoral Councils we have scheduled a Mass to Pray for Healing from Abuse.

It will be offered at St. Andrew’s Church, 6:30pm on Monday, 29 October. Father Joe Morgan, Rector of St. Mary's Cathedral and Vicar General of the Diocese will be the Mass celebrant. The entire Church is deeply concerned today about the instances of abuse perpetrated by some priests. Prayer will be directed at this Mass for all who suffered abuse in any form from any person.

In view of the need of the Church for conversion, forgiveness, and healing, all our parishioners are invited and encouraged to join us for this opportunity for prayer.

COMMUNITY LUNCH PROGRAM FOR KIDS The Community Lunch Program for Kids will be having a November distribution to assist local families with food over the Thanksgiving vacation. As a part of this distribution we are in the process of collecting gently used coats (all sizes) so that children who do not have a warm winter coat will have an opportunity to get one without cost. Our distribution will be held November 7th and 8th. As the weather gets cooler and you find yourself cleaning out closets and finding that you have coats that your family has outgrown, please consider donating them to CLPK. All coats that are left over will be either put out at the Norfolk- Raymondville Food Pantry or donated to the NNCS clothing closet for students in need. Coats may be left at the back of any of the three churches up through November 3rd and 4th. We sincerely appreciate your generosity towards our neighbors in need.

The Community Lunch Program for Kids was able to distribute over 8,350 meals to children in the Norwood, Norfolk and Raymondville area this summer through their six distributions. Children in the CLPK program benefit from the free/ reduced breakfast/ Lunch Program throughout the school year, but are left without this support when school is not in session. CLPK provided boxes of nutritious breakfast and lunch foods to over 60 families with over 160 children. This program would not be possible without the support of our local businesses, civic groups and churches. Thank you so much for all YOU did to support this program!

SHARE YOUR TALENTS WITH TRINITY STUDENTS

Trinity is very excited to introduce an enrichment program this year, and they are looking for YOUR help. They need adults who wish to share their talents with students from 3-6 grades. Some student suggestions are woodworking, jewelry-making, gardening, cooking/baking, art (focusing on special techniques, such as pottery, charcoal drawing, pastels, etc.), photography, creative writing, scrapbooking, knitting/crocheting, sewing, technology (such as coding), and chess. You may even have your own ideas to suggest. This program will consist of three 6-week sessions running in the fall, winter and spring, one day per week after school from approximately 3:15—4:45. If you are interested, please contact Candace O’Neill at 315-769-5911 or e-mail her at cathalumni@twcny.rr.com as soon as possible. All volunteers who come in contact with TCS students must undergo a simple background check and receive training through the diocesan-wide Virtus program, which will be offered at Trinity at the end of September.

PARISH LINKAGE We have received information from the Diocesan Office of Planning regarding the eventual linking of the parishes of Norwood, Norfolk, and Brasher Falls. According to the communication, when a need arises, due to illness or retirement of a pastor, our parishes are the next to be linked. The Steering Committee, which formulated the pastoral plan for the linking of our parishes, met to review the plan and to make preparations for the next steps. We will keep our parishioners and Pastoral Councils apprised of our progress.

Creating a culture of vocation . . .

HOLINESS is a challenge for all of us, whatever our vocation. We are called to be holy in all aspects of our lives. This is an ongoing process, often slowed by setbacks. The process of becoming holy is, even for saints, filled with struggle. Know you are a sinner; strive to be a saint.
