SPECIAL COLLECTION TO SUPPORT
OUR DEACONS THIS WEEKEND
Today is the Second Collection for Diocese of Knoxville
Deacon Program. Our Diocese is blessed with 52
Permanent Deacons serving in 28 parishes, with
another 24 men currently in formation. Deacons bring
the Gospel and the gift of themselves to the soup
kitchens, the food banks, prisons, hospitals and
wherever else a need exists as well as to the parish in
which they are assigned. Thank you and God bless you
for your generosity.
PRAY FOR CHRISTIANS IN THE MIDDLE EAST
With the encouragement of the National Council of
Catholic Women, you will be given an Angelus Prayer
card after Mass. Christians in the Middle East are being
persecuted and put to death because of their belief in
Jesus Christ and their desire to practice their faith. Our
Holy Father Pope Francis has called for an end to the
persecution. We hope that you will pray the Angelus
Prayer daily for the intention of bringing an end to the
persecution of Christians in the Middle East, especially
Iraq and Syria, by invoking the powerful intercession of
our Blessed Mother, Mary.
SOCIETY OF ST. VINCENT DE PAUL
In the Gospel today, Jesus tells us: “You shall love the
Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul,
with all your mind, and with all your strength…and you
shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Through your gift
to the St. Thomas monthly charity collection you can
show your love for our Lord and your love of your
neighbor who is hungry, hopeless, alone and
frightened. The next meeting will be Friday, November
6 at 9:15 am in the Deacon Jose Rivera Room. Call
Larry Finneran at 657-9119 for more information.
ST. THOMAS SCRIP (GIFT CARDS)
The SCRIP gift cards are used just like cash and they do
NOT have an expiration date. Each gift card you buy
from us pays a dividend back to St. Thomas that will be
used for charitable needs. There are 720 merchants
nationwide that participate in the program. Consider
this, you’re going to spend at many of these stores
anyway, why not help us and purchase one of our gift
cards. It’s easy… With the Holidays just around the
corner, try it, you’ll like it!
To view an alphabetical listing or a listing by categories
visit the SCRIP website: www.shopwithscrip.com. In the
upper right click on “shop”. Then on the left side, scroll
down and pick which list to view. You can print either
list. You can purchase Scrip cards after all Masses. Visit
us in the Parish Life Center after all masses to answer
any questions and process your order.
Please Save the Date!
