ANNOUNCEMENTS NOV. 22ND -23RD

Our Thanksgiving Mass this year will be at 10am. You are invited to bring the bread and wine you will be sharing at your meal to have it blessed. We are also asking if you could bring a canned good that we can then give to the needy, it would be greatly appreciated.

 

Our last dates for pictures for the Directory are now open for appointments. Please stop by the table or go on line to set up your appointment.

 

The names for the Adopt-a-Family are available today after Masses at the back of the Church.

 

Please read carefully the bulletin announcement about Together In Mission. We are over $5,000 short of our pledge. If you have not honored your pledge yet, there is still time. There will be a billing sent out in Dec. Please try to pay at least some of your pledge. We will have to pay whatever we are short of meeting this goal.

 

We will be having two Advent offerings on Monday nights. Please read the bulletin for information.

 

Don't forget to stop by the Boutique after Masses today. There are lots of items and good food as well. See you over there.

Christ the King

Today we celebrate the end of our Liturgical Year and what a wonderful way to celebrate it. We honor our God as the King and Lord of our lives. This Feast day also falls very close to Thanksgiving, when we have the chance as a Nation to be thankful for so many blessings. When I reflect on what I would like to be thankful for, so many things come to mind. St. Agatha's family is at the top of the list as well as my own family and my congregation. Each of these has played a large part in making me who I am and helping me to serve the Lord of my life. I hope you will take a few minutes on Thanksgiving to call to mind those things you are thankful for and ask God's blessing on our year.

Have a Blessed Week
Sr. Karen

Hi everybody

I am looking for red and green material or any color material, also red, green, orange, black, blue, purple, and other color treads for embroidery and small lace. 
 
St. Vincent De Paul is renting a table for a Lady that embroiders beautifully, that way she can help her family, she is one of the families that we help with furniture.  There were two members of the family working one of the fathers left the the grandma with the children.
 
I gave her some money for materials but the tread is expensive. 
 
So I thought probably someone has tread or material around the house that they bought to start a project but it never happened.
 
Or you might have a friend that used to embroider.
If you do please bring the items to the Pastoral office today or tomorrow.
 
She does letter, flowers with tread and ribbons, she even embroiders the Kwanzaa candles and it looks beautiful.
 
She embroiders, letters flowers she said she can do any thing you ask her.
 
Suggestion if you have anything that you will like to embroiders for you or for a Christmas gift bringing on Sunday to the S.H.A.R.E. boutique.
 
Towels, dinner napkins, table clothes, pillow cases, etc.
 
come to the table on sunday
 
If you have questions e-mail me my Phone is not working.
 
Thank you.
  

Love & Blessings
