Greetings:

- Calling ALL Catholic students in grades 8 – 12: The Knights are sponsoring their annual Essay Contest once again. Entry forms are available in the parish office or from our website. Please turn in your entry to the office by November 30th, 2021 for consideration. (p. 4)
- The youth of the parish need you! The CCD program and the Youth Group is short of volunteers. Please prayerfully consider giving of your time and talent to help nourish the youth of this parish. The rewards are priceless. Contact John Verga at [email protected]. (p. 4)
- Next weekend we celebrate World Mission Sunday. Read more on page 6.
- We are still trying to drum up memories for the Sts. Peter and Paul album. Whether you’ve been here long-term or just a year or so, we want to hear from you. Have you ever put together a scrapbook? That’s kind of what we are trying to do but instead of it being one person or one family, we want a collection of memories from many of our parishioners. Maybe you’re still trying to come up with some entertaining thoughts: that’s GREAT! Maybe you’re thinking of a “then” and “now” story: WONDERFUL! We want to hear them all. You can submit them in person to the office or email to Tim & Eileen Monahan at [email protected]. (P. 8)
- October 19th @ 7pm: “How To Blend Your Faith and Your Investments” webinar sponsored by the Abbate Agency and the Knights of Columbus. Limited availability; RSVP needed. (p. 9)
- Life Line Screening will return to Sts. Peter and Paul on November 17th to offer 5 key screenings that could identify risks for stroke, heart disease, and other chronic conditions that you might not be aware of. (p. 9)
- The next “Reflections” at St. Joseph is on October 28th at 5:30pm. (p. 10)
- The Craft Fair is Saturday, November 13th from 8am – 2pm. Our crafters have been hard at work. If you would like to make crafts but can’t meet with the crafters on Thursdays, you can craft from home and drop off your creations in Michael’s room by Nov. 10th. Volunteers are needed from both St. Joseph’s and Sts. Peter and Paul. So mark your calendar and let us know if you are able to help and how you would like to help. Call the office at 434.589.5201. (p. 10)
- The Diocese is offering an in-person or on-line seminar for “end of life” planning on November 16th. Registration deadline is November 9th. (p. 11)
Praying you have a blessed weekend.
