Do the wonders of God’s creation stir your soul? Are you interested in sharing your faith with others? Do you understand how the concept of atheistic evolution impacts our society and the lives of the faithful? To shed light on these matters, you are invited to a presentation and follow-up discussion with Hugh Owen, founder of the Kolbe Centre for the Study of Creation, on Wednesday, November 16th at 7:00 pm in the hall.
The Kolbe Centre is a lay apostolate that seeks to educate the public, particularly within the Catholic Church, in the truth of creation as revealed in Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition and as confirmed by the findings of modern science.

All Souls’ Day Indulgence
A plenary indulgence, applicable only to the Poor Souls, is granted to those who confess within a week before or after Nov 2, visit any parish church or public oratory and there recite one Our Father and one Credo. From Nov 1 – 8, the same indulgence is granted if visiting a cemetery to pray, even only mentally, for the eternal rest of poor souls.
On Sunday, 13 November, we commemorate the dedication of our church by Archbishop Duke on Nov 14, 1948. This, then, is the birthday of our Church (Kirchweih
) which we will celebrate as an External Solemnity at the High Mass on that Sunday. (The anniversary of such dedication is a First Class Feast). Our Church has served the needs of Catholics for 63 years now. Deo Gratias!
You’re invited to a celebratory lunch after the 10:30 Sunday Mass (around 12:30 pm) on Sunday, 13 November.
Please let us know if you will be coming, as we need to know how much food to prepare. A main dish & bread will be supplied but we will need salads, desserts, and side dishes. If you contribute a small dish, the meal is free. If you can’t cook, a monetary donation will be accepted (no-one will be turned away). For more details or to tell us that you plan to attend, please contact the clergy.

The memorial of the Our Lady of the Rosary will be celebrated on Friday 7 October, with High Mass at 7:30pm.
This feast, originally celebrated as Our Lady of Victory, commemorates the defensive victory of Christian naval forces of the Holy League commanded by Don John of Austria against the Ottoman Turkish navy, near Lepanto in the Mediterranean, on 7 October 1571. In thanksgiving for this victory, and for the resulting freeing of several thousand Christian slaves from the Ottoman galleys, Pope Saint Pius V led a procession reciting the rosary before Saint Peter’s Basilica, and later instituted the feast celebrated on this date.
