St. Gertrude the Great

November 16

St. Gertrude the Great is the saint invoked for souls in

purgatory and for living sinners. Our Lord told St. Gertrude that

the following prayer would release 1000 souls from

purgatory each time it is said. The prayer was extended to include living sinners as well.

Prayer of St. Gertrude

"Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Most Precious Blood of Thy Divine Son, Jesus, in union with the Masses said throughout the world today, for all the Holy Souls in Purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the universal church, those in my own home and within my family. Amen."

Tuesday Night Confessions The Sacrament of Penance is available every Tuesday evening from 8 PM to 9 PM. This extra hour each week is provided for the convenience of many and is in addition to the availability of Confessions before every Mass. Since the church will now be open on Tuesday nights from 8 to 9 PM you may wish to stop in for a brief visit to Our Lord in the tabernacle, pray a rosary, or even make a personal Holy Hour, even if you are not going to Confession.

Dress Code for Mass and Church-Sponsored Events

We want to foster the greatest reverence and respect for Our Lord at Mater Ecclesiae. Our attire is an outward expression of our love for the Lord and shows how important He is to us. It is also a sign of our respect for the House of God and our fellow parishioners. Therefore, one should always wear their “Sunday Best” to MASS AND TO CHURCH-SPONSORED SOCIALS AND EVENTS: modesty, good taste and common sense should prevail. There is a big difference between casual and sloppy. Accordingly, the following rules apply:

• NO SHORTS, EVER, FOR MEN, WOMEN, OR CHILDREN. • NO FLIP FLOPS IN CHURCH! • NO TORN OR CUT-OFF SLEEVES ON SHIRTS • Women: No revealing clothing, low necklines, short skirts or bare

midriffs. Please dress modestly with dignity and self-respect. We suggest that women wear a head covering to Mass.

• Men: No tattered, soiled work clothes, old jeans or gym clothes. Please wear “business or business casual attire” to set a good example for our young men and boys.

NEW CAP SESSIONS ANNOUNCED

We can be sure that we love God’s children when we love God and do what He has commanded. 1 John 5:2

The Office of Safe Environment for Children, Youth and Adults is announcing CAP (Child Assault Prevention) sessions. CAP is the safe environment training program for adults who have regular contact with minors. Attendance is required in order to comply with the USCCB’s Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People. The policy of the diocese is that adults will attend CAP once every five years.

CAP 1 teaches attendees to recognize child abuse and neglect and how to report to the proper authorities. Adults are taught that children have the right to be safe, strong and free. CAP 1 is for new volunteers and employees.

CAP 2 is No More Bullies, No More Victims and is a workshop on bullying awareness and bullying prevention. Cyber-bullying is also addressed. Both sessions are 90 minutes.

Adults must attend CAP 1 before attending CAP 2. After five years, adults have the option of attending CAP 1 again if they prefer.

The following sessions will be offered in November:

November Is Dedicated To The

Holy Souls

He sent twelve thousand drachmas of silver to Jerusalem for sacrifice to be offered for the sins of the dead, thinking well concerning the Resurrection. It is therefore a Holy and Wholesome thought to Pray for the Dead, that they may be loosed from sins.
