Holy Day Mass for the Immaculate Conception on Monday, December 8, is at 9:00am at St. Elizabeth's.

 
Stewardship Moment: “...giving thanks to the Father, who has made you fit to share in the inheritance of the holy ones in light.” Colossians 1:12 God wants us to be happy! Instead of looking at the Ten Commandments as being restrictive and telling us what we can’t do, look at them as guides for living a joy-filled and peaceful life. Most of our problems arise when we put our own needs first or we spend most of our time trying to acquire more stuff. Instead, try putting God first in all things. We were made for God. Open your heart and let Him in!

During the month of November, St Elizabeth Church will be doing a food drive for the Wells County Food Pantry. Please drop donations into the basket at the back of the church. Any donation, big or small, is sincerely appreciated.

Holy Father’s Prayer Intention for November: Let us pray that those who are struggling with suicidal thoughts might find the support, care, and love they need in their community, and be open to the beauty of the beauty of life.

Thanksgiving Day: As we celebrate our National Holiday of Giving Thanks – let us pause and reflect on the many blessings Almighty God has given us. Mass is at 9:00am at Sacred Heart.

Again, this year the FFF classes have chosen to take part in the Giving Tree Program. We ask that the students bring their money (nickels, dimes, quarters, etc.) each week to their classes by Dec. 3. We encourage all the students to take part in it.

Heavenly Wisdom by Venerable Fulton Sheen: “Patience is power. Patience is not an absence of action; rather, it is “timing”; it waits on the right time to act, for the right principles and in the right way.”
