Prayer to Continue to Fight for God Lord, if your people still have need of my services, I will not avoid the toil. Your will be done. I have fought the good fight long enough. Yet if you bid me continue to hold the battle line in defense of your camp, I will never beg to be excused from failing strength. I will do the work you entrust to me. While you command, I will fight beneath your banner.

The Month Of November Is Dedicated To The Holy Souls
He sent twelve thousand drachmas of silver to Jerusalem for sacrifice to be offered for the sins of the dead, thinking well concerning the Resurrection. It is therefore a Holy and Wholesome thought to Pray for the Dead, that they may be loosed from sins.

Blessed Mother Needlepoint
Portrait Raffle Tickets on Sale Now
Beginning this weekend, we will be offering our parishioners a chance to win the beautiful, hand-crafted
needlepoint portrait of Our Blessed Mother holding the Infant
Jesus shown above. In this depiction, Our Lady is shown standing, cuddling Her
Precious Son, surrounded by white lilies. The soft, delicate colors of blue, ivory, pale yellow and green are used to create this beautiful work. Iridescent
threads create a softly shimmering halo around the Madonna and Child. Tiny, golden crystal beads form the glistening stamens of the
lilies. The attention to fine detail is
amazing. Framed in a lovely “gold-leaf”
wooden frame with raised, carved flourishes along the perimeter, the picture measures 15 inches wide by 23.5 inches high and is
ready to hang on a standard picture hook.
The delicate stitches of this needlepoint portrait make this a true work of art created with
loving hands! What a perfect Christmas gift for a beloved mother or grandmother, or for anyone who loves Our Lady! Stop by the display in the Narthex for a chance to see this beautiful handcrafted needlepoint up close. The Raffle tickets will be sold
for $2.00 each
The drawing will take place on the Third Sunday of Advent, Gaudete
Sunday, December 16th.

Mater Ecclesiae Concert
Join us on Sunday, November 4th at 2:00 PM for an organ and voice recital featuring our organist Karl Tricomi, along with musical director Nicholas Beck and our soprano soloist Lauren Walters.
The recital is presented to raise money for the landscaping of our Chapel entry. Because it is open to the general public it will be a wonderful opportunity to welcome new parishioners.
Tickets are $12.00 for adults, $8.00 for students and seniors. They can be purchased at the door.
Based upon the success of this recital, we hope to develop a regular concert series to benefit Mater Ecclesiae, so we encourage everyone to attend and bring friends and family.
