REMAIN FAITHFUL/PRAY UNCEASINGLY In all the readings today, the theme is about remaining faithful. Having faith in God, and praying to

Him with full confidence that He will answer your prayers is something we have in common with

Moses and Abraham. From the beginning of time, we have been made aware that God is always

with us and He will not abandon us. We have to do our part; we must be aware of His presence and

pray to Him always. We may not get our answers right away but God is faithful, and we should be.

DO YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE RIGHT? Being persistent. Often we think of it as being a pest, constantly nagging or annoying; and yes, sometimes it can be. But being persistent

in faith and prayer is different. It lets God know that we trust Him and know that He will answer us and be there for us. But with persis-

tence should also be patience. That’s is usually where we are lacking. We pray to God and think that if we ask two or three times that

should be enough. Sometimes it’s not and we must continue to keep faith, never giving up. That’s true faith. Do you become frustrated

when your prayers are not answered right away? Remember God answers our prayers, but in His time.

KNITTING CIRCLE The first meeting of our Knitting Circle will be Sunday at 10 AM in the school cafeteria. We knit/crochet for the Ambassadors of Hope,

making scarves, blankets and hats for various charities. Come to help out those in need. Instruction is available for those who would like

to learn. Future dates are: Nov. 20, Dec. 18, Jan. 22, Feb. 26, Mar. 19, Apr. 23 and May 21.

ALL SAINTS/POT LUCK DINNER Join us on Sunday November 6 after the 12 PM Mass as we celebrate All Saints Day with our annual pot luck supper. You can participate

in 2 ways: You can bring a tray of food (which can admit up to four people) or you can pay $5 per person. Either way it will be a great

day. Be sure to contact the office for reservations, there are no tickets at the door.

will be our presenter. Come to find how we can live out our call as disciples of Jesus
