mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall

become one flesh. So they are no longer two but one

flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, no

human being must separate." - Mk 10:7-9

St. Vincent de Paul Society ~ Clothing Drive

Resurrection of Our Lord Parish will be hosting a clothing drive Tuesday, October 16th from 9AM-2PM.

The St. Vincent de Paul Society will be using the services of GreenDrop to support their clothing drive. Look

for the GreenDrop truck in the parking lot where an attendant will be available to assist you with your dona-

tions. Please place your donations of usable men’s, women’s and children’s clothing in plastic bags or boxes. House-

hold items such as kitchenware, games/toys, small appliances under 50 pounds, electronics, sporting goods, books, CDs

& videos are also accepted. Furniture, large appliances, TVs or computer monitors cannot be accepted. For a full

Friends,

Let me start by thanking everyone who helped to make our Oktoberfest a success this weekend. Thank

you to everyone who donated items, money and time. Thank you to everyone who bought a ticket or a

raffle chance to support our school.

I also want to thank our weekend speaker from “Generation-Life”. Gen-Life is an incredible organization that works so

hard to promote a healthy culture of life in our world. It is especially inspiring to see young people courageously stand

up for life. Thank you for welcoming and supporting this organization.

Next weekend will be our first ever “Involvement Weekend”. Around our church you will find many different poster

boards displaying our various parish groups and ministries. I would encourage every person who belongs here to

become involved in something. If we really are a parish family then we really need everyone committed and involved in

this family. Some of these ministries and groups are weekly commitments, others are monthly commitments and some

are just one-time annual events. Please commit to being a part of something here at YOUR parish.

+ Fr. Jim

National Fire Prevention Week

Fire was the great scourge of American cities in the 19th century. As the country's population grew, com-

pressed tenements and multistory factories posed a growing risk to life and property if fire struck.

Insurers and municipalities worked together to protect public safety. Even with the vastly improved building codes of

today, fire safety remains a concern. Protect your family by following these simple steps:

1) Install working smoke alarms in your home, AND change the batteries twice a year.

2) Do not overload circuits by the use of multiple extension cords. Always inspect extension cords for wear and never

place them under rugs or mats.

3) Do not leave burning candles unattended. Always extinguish them when you leave a room.

4) When cooking, do not leave stoves unattended.

5) Never barbecue in a garage or other enclosed structure.

6) Have a home fire extinguisher; know how to use it; and check it regularly to ensure that it is still charged.

7) Always call 911 in the event of a fire. Never presume that you can handle it yourself.
