Fall Cemetery Clean-up 

Here we are again in the fall season. Soon the leaves will have fallen and it will once more be time to ‘tidy up’ our cemetery for winter. Fall cemetery clean up date is Saturday, November 16th, beginning at 9:30 AM. Hopefully the leaves will cooperate and the majority of them will have fallen by then. If the weather is bad, the clean-up day will then be Saturday, November 23rd, same start time. As always, the more who can lend a helping hand, the quicker the job is accomplished. Bring rakes, garden gloves, any tool you use to make the job easier. Thanks in advance to everyone for your help.

“THE MOVIE: “FRONT OF THE CLASS”

My Dear Parish Family,

On SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 2019 at 5:00 PM, the Youth Carpenters will present the Movie, “FRONT OF THE CLASS”. This movie is the life story of Brad Cohen, a very talented teacher who had, from the age of six, struggled with his ‘constant companion’, Tourette’s syndrome. This movie is for anyone ten years old to adult (Please do not bring the little ones). We will have a discussion after the movie with the questions found below. Please take this bulletin home with you and bring it to the movie for the discussion afterwards.

Grandparents, bring your grandchildren! We will focus on the Gift of the Spirit, FORTITUDE (Courage). College students, young adults in the workplace, COME! We all experience some form of bullying in the classroom, in the workplace... even in our own families. This is a very powerful movie which leads to a family discussion.

PLEASE RSVP TO dkhoury@youngstowndiocese.org. I will need to know which facility to secure... my classroom or Gaudete Hall, so numbers will be very important to know. I hope we need the hall! PLEASE RSVP BY SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 2019.

Thank you and we pray you take advantage of this opportunity for your family.

With peace, Darlene
