FROM THE PASTOR: THANKSGIVNG: We gather with other Christians at St. Paul’s on Sunday afternoon, November 20th, at 6pm. Please come join us for a Thanksgiving
prayer service!! We need voices for our Community
Thanksgiving Prayer Service. You don’t need to be a
member of any choir, just interested in singing along
with members of other Christian churches in our Hermann Area Ministerial Alliance. Refreshments and fellowship will follow the service. ———— The Hermann
Community will once again sponsor a Thanksgiving meal
for interested persons. The organizers can use cooked turkeys, side dishes, and desserts. If you can provide some,
please call LeRoy Strassner, Angie Faerber or Roy Schroff.
Our Thanksgiving Mass will take place at 8am at StG and
9am at CRS. We have so much for which to be thankful
and I encourage you and your family to attend before
getting busy with all the visiting that will take place on
Thanksgiving Day. I invite you to bring items for the Community Food Pantry, canned goods or dry goods. If you are
going to be out of town or can’t make it to Mass on
Thanksgiving Day, please bring items to church and place
them in the containers at the back of church. —Msgr.
Greg
