November 4, Sunday Mass of Remembrance, i.e., remembering family members & friends no longer with us, tying it in with the All Saints feast.  Bring a picture.

I am still searching for a job for one of our own, Rick Turner.  The last 8 years he has worked as a night warehouse man for Home Depot, which is now laying off numerous workers.  Does anyone have a lead on this kind of work or something similar?  He can do fork lift work, night work, make a great driver. A good man.

Anyone want to help with the readings at Mass who has not been asked?  I include those of you who need practice in speaking in front of a group because of FEAR. 

Anyone in need of a FAX machine?  Contact Beth Robinson: E-mail Address:   Epr313@aol.com

From Frank & Laura Reyes on the plays they are in:

Deuteronomy 4, Moses said to the people.

Psalm 33, Blessed the people the Lord has chosen to be his own. 

Romans 8, Those who are lead by the Spirit of God are sons of God.

Matthew 28, The disciples went to Galilee to the mountain.

Romeos, Welcome!    Jason's Deli, 1:00, Friday. May 28.  Required: vaccines, mask for entrance & departure. 

All of you who attended Mass this past Sunday are welcomed this Sunday.  We were circa 35 people.   Another 10 would fit in comfortably.  It seemed safe enough and time for us to take off our masks this Sunday.  It was exhilarating!  Feedback?  One head's up: be conservative on hugging for the Sign of Peace.  Not everybody is ready yet for hugs.
