HOLIDAY CLOSING

The rectory will be closed November 26 & 27 so staff can enjoy the Thanksgiving holiday with their family.

PARISH THANKSGIVING FOOD BASKETS

Dear Parishioners,

  Thanksgiving is sneaking up on us and we have our needy families to give a wonderful dinner to.

  As you know, the food donated in November goes to the Community Thanksgiving Baskets at St. Andrew’s Church.

  You parishioners fund Our Lady of Fatima’s baskets with your cash donations that you either give to me or put in an envelope marked Food Baskets before you put it in the collection basket.  Putting food basket on the check guarantees that it will go into the general fund instead because our money counters are too busy to notice that.  No donation is too small because it all adds up.  I thank you for your generosity in this sad economic time and many blessings to all of you.  -Anna
