For more info. or if interested, call Betty at 330-953-3823. Dear Friends, As we wrap up National Vocation Awareness Week, the readings are very appropriate as we hear about building. Our second reading speaks of the building of our lives as temples in the Lord, and the building of the Church, making it what God has called it to be. All of this must start with a firm foundation, and that foundation is in Christ. Our call to build the Church means that we need to reach out to our young men and women and encourage them to consider the vocation that God is calling them to live. Especially as we conclude Vocation Awareness Week, lets consider who in our parish community may have a call to serve as a priest or in the religious life and encourage him or her to prayerfully consider their calling in God. Thank you to all who have offered prayer and support to help increase vocations in our diocese WE ARE DELIGHTED TO INVITE YOU TO SEE AND PURCHASE HANDMADE RELIGIOUS ARTICLES MADE BY THE SISTERS OF ST. ELIZABETH CONVENT (BELARUS). The expedition will take place after all the masses next weekend Nov. 15/16. Please be attentive to the flyer in this week’s bulletin for full details. THE FLAG WILL FLY on Tues., Nov. 11, in memory of Albert Colatruglio, this being the anniversary of his birth. The flag will also fly on Fri., Nov. 14, in memory of William E. Terihay, this being the anniversary of his birth. IN YOUR CHARITY, please pray for soul of Anthony Rivalsky, brother of Roseanne Duraney, who recently passed away. May his soul and all the souls of our faithful departed, rest in peace. The month of November is a time set aside to especially remember in prayer those of our family and friends who have died. Just inside the doors of the church (to your right coming from the gathering space), you will find a stand that holds the Book of Remembrance of the Dead. You are invited during this month to put the names of family and friends in the book who died from November 1, 2013 to now. All of the names listed in the book will be remembered in a special way at all our Masses during November.

Thank you for your generosity. Light And Hope During The Holidays: Normally a time of joy and celebration, the holidays often have a much different effect on those who have experienced the death of a loved one. For some, they can result in a renewed sense of personal grief, accompanied by feelings of sadness, loss, loneliness, and emptiness. “It’s a perfectly understandable reaction,” says Sr. Pat Fessler, H.M., Bereavement Coordinator at Higgins-Reardon Funeral Homes. “The holidays are such a special time and there is a great deal of emotion and activity associated with them; yet if a loved one has died, the holidays are not the same. They can be difficult and painful yet joyous.” Please join us at HigginsReardon Funeral Homes for one of the following programs on “Light and Hope During the Holidays:” Sun., Nov. 16, 2PM, 3701 Starr’s Centre Dr., Canfield; Tues., Nov. 18, 6:30PM, 439 S. Salem-Warren Rd., N. Jackson; Thurs., Nov. 20, 7PM, 2726 Center Rd., Poland. In keeping with the spirit of giving, please bring a gift of mittens, gloves, scarves, hats, or socks in memory of your loved one to be given to the needy. Please tag gifts: male, female, adult, child, boy, or girl. To RSVP, call (330) 792-2353. If you have watched any amount of TV you most likely have noticed that we are being inundated with Christmas commercials. As the Christmas season gears up, let us keep in mind daily what really matters, the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. Keeping this as part of our prayer will help us to put all else into proper perspective. Stay warm with God’s Blessings, Fr.
