Bake Sale
SMYLE youth group
is doing a bake sale!
We’ll have homemade cookies, brownies, muffins, cupcakes, and all sorts of treats and baked goods available for donation after all the Masses on October 4th and 5th. Donations help our youth attend special events like the diocesan campout and youth conference.
October is Rosary Month
Pope Leo XIV has encouraged the faithful to pray the Rosary daily during October for peace and collaboration between different religious traditions.
He specifically invited prayers
for peace personally, in families, and communities and announced
a special Rosary vigil on
October 11th in St. Peter’s Square as part of the Jubilee of
Marian Spirituality.

The Legion of Mary
Rosary Crusade
We are looking for 100 million Rosaries starting now and continuing all over the world. We are asking people to pray the Rosary for peace in the world, peace in the Church, and peace in the womb. (Or for an end to abortion.)
You are welcome to pray as many Rosaries as you like, or if you would like to be counted, you can email me at rshennum56@gmail.com where you can commit to the number of Rosaries you will pray each week. Ask anyone you know who says the Rosary, especially Legionaries,
to do the same. The Crusade started in August of 2024 and will continue until peace is achieved.
