Text Box: NOON - Traditional Holy Mass. After the all Holy Masses, bread and wine will be blessed for the Thanksgiving Table. Please bring bread and wine to these Holy Masses (or if you don’t drink wine, only bread and some juice) to be blessed.  During all Holy Masses, a collection will be taken up to help poor and needy people. In the vestibule of the church, there are barrels designated for canned and imperishable foods to share with poor families. Please support this project!!! 

WORK OF MERCY POSSIBILITY 
       A parishioner is in need of financial help to pay for a necessary medical treatment which can save his life - God willing.  This parishioner has no means to pay for this treatment as he is currently unemployed and have no medical insurance.  The cost of the treatment is about $ 4,000 plus costs of medicine.  If you would like to contribute funds for this cause, please send your check to the rectory made out to St. Margaret Mary with the memo “medical treatment” written on the check.  You can place it in the collection basket, if you would like.  May God reward your generosity! Our Lord Jesus said: “For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me, naked and you clothed me, ill and you cared for me, in prison and you visited me.” Matthew 25:35-36.

ALL SAINTS PARTY THANK YOU:
      Thank you very much for your generosity and for  your prompt answer; and may the Blessed Virgin Mary of Lourdes keep you under her protection. 
A Heavenly thank you goes to all the families that came to the All Saints Party last Sunday in the hall!  Thank you, Father Zak and Father Moreau for leading our “saints in the making” in the procession down to the hall.  And a most heartfelt thank you goes to Mary Sullivan for organizing the event and to all who pitched in to help.  May the intercession of all the Saints sustain us as we journey on this pilgrimage towards our true home.  +AMDG+
