Announcements:
Confessions will be heard on Sunday mornings from 9:15-9:45am and by appointment. All faithful are encouraged to come to the Sacrament every 8 weeks, on average, to help maintain spiritual health. This is especially for those who frequently “with Faith and with Love come forward” to receive the Body and Blood of Christ. [Note: because of Father teaching Sunday School on 7 October, there are no Confessions scheduled prior to Divine Services]

During the assembly of the packages, discussion on the date for the trip to Homestead Farm will take place. All members are asked to attend and new members are always welcome!

Father will do the Proskomedia (Preparation) of the Holy Eucharist at the Tetrapod so that students can observe this part of the Liturgy.
