Please attend Mass this weekend with your Parish Priest. "For
the harvests of the Spirit, thanks be to God. For the good we all inherit,
thanks be to God. For the wonders that astound us, for the truths that still
confound us, most of all, that love has found us, THANKS BE TO GOD." From For the Fruit of All Creation, F. Pratt

Our virtue for the month of November is "Gratitude."
Gratitude is the virtue that leads us to take note of the gifts that we receive
each day, value the generosity of the giver, respond to these gifts, take
advantage of them, develop them, and place them at the service of others.
