Let us pray especially at this Mass for all who long to hear the hope-filled, saving message of Jesus, and for the priests, religious and lay catechists in mission countries worldwide who offer them that Good News.

Catholics across the country will be celebrating Priesthood Sunday on October 30, 2011. It is a day set aside to celebrate the importance of the gift of priesthood in the life of the Church. It is a time for us to reflect on the ministry that our priests share with us when we gather at the Table of the Lord when we call in our times of need. Consider sharing a personal note or card of thanks. Together we pray that many of our young people will be inspired by the ministry and witness of our priests. May their hearts be open to hearing and responding to Gods call in their lives. More information can be found at clevelandcatholicpreisthood.com.

PRE-PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE

Chris Silva of Silva-Hostetler Funeral Home will be the guest of Saint Augustine on Wednesday, November 16 at 6:30pm in the school cafeteria. Mr. Silva will talk about options available when planning funerals as well as options regarding funeral liturgies. Increasingly it is becoming apparent that unless pre-planned, funerals do not necessarily go the way the deceased would have wanted. There is absolutely NO obligation involved by attendance. This is meant to serve the parish community. Please tell anyone you know who may be interested about this opportunity.
