OCT. 30TH-31ST

As you know, the S.H.A.R.E. ministry is having their Holiday Boutique on Nov. 21^st. They are in the hall today after the morning Masses and invite you to share your blessings by placing them in writing and hanging them on the board in the Hall. Toiletry items and canned goods will be collected every Sunday beginning Nov. 7^th for the Christmas Day Dinner give away.

    The St. Vincent de Paul society is hosting, with SHARE, a wonderful breakfast in the Hall. The proceeds will go towards supplementing our Adopt A Family program and Angel Tree program.  Please give them your support by buying a donut or breakfast this morning.

 

Black Catholic History Month Mass is next Sunday at the 10am Mass, which will begin around 9:45am. There will be two nights, Nov. 8^th and 15^th, of sharing about the contributions of Africans and people of African descent led by Tom Honore. Hope you can join us at 7pm.

 

L.A. Voice Elevator Pitch

 

Banks need to do their part to help Angelenos recover from this crisis.

 

Big banks got us into this mess and need to help us get back on our feet. We bailed them out; it's time they help us.

 

Big banks can do this by making loans to small businesses that create jobs and by working with families to help them stay in their homes, get out of debt, and rebuild.  

 

Many big banks refuse to do this, and it's time that the City of Los Angeles stop giving these banks our $30 billion in business.  That's what the "Responsible Banking Ordinance" will do. And it will reward those banks that are helping Angelenos recover, including community banks.

 

Similar ordinances in Cleveland and Philadelphia have brought billions of dollars in reinvestment to those cities and helped thousands of families survive and thrive.

 

Banks were made for people, not people for the banks.  Join us as we make banks work for us here in Los Angeles

We are taking sign ups today for people to join us on Nov. 8^th at Blessed Sacrament Church in support of the Banking initiative Councilman Alarcon is putting forth in City Council. It will begin at 6:45pm and we will be car pooling. Please give us your support by attending to let Banks know that we are holding them accountable for their actions.

 

This is your last chance to sign up for the Blood Drive next Sunday. Please stop by the table and share this gift with your community.

 

There will be a community meeting on Nov. 2^nd after 4:30pm at the Constituent Service Center at 48755 S. Vermont Ave. about the Cork bar on Adams. The owner wants to make it a 24hr. club with dancing. We need the neighborhood to tell him what we think. If you can make it and voice your opinion, it would be greatly appreciated.
