Baptism: Please call Father to make arrangements. At least one parent and the sponsors must be practicing traditional Catholics. It is a serious obligation for Catholics to have their newborns baptized within two weeks. Matrimony: For practicing registered parishioners only. Please contact Father at least six months before the wedding date for marriage instructions. Mass Intentions may be submitted for a stipend of $25.00. Mass intention envelopes are available in the vestibule. Vigil Candles: Anyone wishing to have vigil candles lit on the altars of Our Blessed Mother or St. Joseph may use the envelopes in the vestibule. Requested donation is $5.00 for a six -day candle. Sunday Catechism Classes are taught between the 7:00 and 9:00 Masses on most Sundays during the school year.

• MIRACULOUS MEDAL ENROLLMENT will be after the Masses on No Catechism classes on Sunday, Nov. 29, for anyone who may not have been enrolled already. You do not need to bring your own medal to the communion rail after Mass, Nov. 29 & Dec. 6. since Father will have one to use for the enrollment. You may obtain your own medal anytime. There are blessed medals available for a donation at the St. downstairs. If you cannot make it downstairs, please ask someone to bring one up for you!

• CMRI CONFRATERNITY MEETING will usually be on the second Saturday of the month, depending on the priests’ schedules and other circumstances. For this month, it will be on Nov. 28, this coming Saturday.

• CATHOLIC CALENDARS: All Catholic homes should have a Catholic calendar, so as to keep informed on days of fast and abstinence, holy days, etc. If the calendars run out today, please sign up on the sheet so that we know how many more to order.

• OPEN HOUSE at our new church will be announced once the new closing date is finalized. The congregation that we are buying from has decided they need more time to move out. According to the contract, they have until Dec. 31, but it will probably be mid-December. (The reason the date was originally set so early is that they wanted to be out before the holidays.) Thank you for your patience as we wait to know more details!

• THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP! An update on how we are doing with finances will be announced at Mass.

• DONATIONS FOR THE NEW CHURCH: You may use the red-bordered “second collection” envelopes in the vestibule (or your own clearly labeled envelopes) for tax-deductible donations for the new church. • Now that the closing date has been delayed, we have more time before signing for the mortgage. And even when we do sign, it is never too late to give your donations, if you have not yet done so! To those who have been so very generous, thank you very much and may God bless you for your generosity for His house!

• HOMES FOR SALE in Sartell. Chris Goering has a list of several homes for sale in the area, if you would like to contact him for help finding a home near the new church!

• BOXES: If you have been saving boxes for the church, you may bring them to the church basement anytime and put them in the library! Thank you very much!

• LETTER FROM FR. BRENDAN is on the bulletin board in the vestibule.

• PLEASE PRAY FOR THE SICK AND INFIRM OF THE PARISH: Ed Winczewski, Ivan Flicek, Gloria Kovall, Debbie Laschinger, Carol Nistler, Richard Frank, April Rabbie, Dominica Braun, Pauline Sherman, Viola Buetz, Wallace Brown, Bob Harris, Herman & Eunice Will, Debbie Fischer, Lori Schroepfer (Please notify one of the priests or sisters if you would like to add anyone to the list.)
