SPECIAL MASS COLLECTION Sunday, November 17th - This Sunday, as a part of our Matthew 25 fund, we have committed a percentage of our collection to be sent to our school partner Bluebonnet Elementary School in Roundrock, Texas. The collection will be tied to our Thanksgiving dinner school supply collection. In addition, we plan on offering a second collection for anyone who would like to make a donation to the relief efforts going on in the Philippines. Typhoon Haiyan was one of the worst storms of any kind, ever. With sustained winds of 190 mph, gusts over 230mph, and a storm wall of 13-20 ft, there is utter devastation. We kindly ask that you open your hearts and wallets this Sunday in an act of solidarity with the universal Church to help our brothers and sisters in the Philippines.

Fill out this survey if you are planning on attending- hope to see you there! LETTER PACKING We courteously ask for your assistance in labeling, stuffing, and sorting over 4,000 envelopes next week!
