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:

Philippians 3:   Our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we also await a savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Luke 9:  This is my chosen Son, listen to him.

Le Pont d'Art or the Art Bridge in snow, Paris.

The Art Bridge also known as the bridge of locks. A couple puts a lock on the fence and throws the key in the Seine, a token to lock their relationship forever. Those are locks on the fence, tons of locks.
