Please join us at 11:00 am Mass on Sunday, Nov. 18th as we commemorate the Bicentennial Anniversary of the 1818 arrival of St. Rose Philippine Duchesne in Missouri. Bishop Rice will be here for a celebratory Mass, followed by a luncheon at the KC Hall. We hope to see everyone there! (Volunteers are needed for serving and clean up. Thank you!)

Our parish will be participating in the National iGiveCatholic day on November 27th (the Tuesday after Thanksgiving). Contributions can be made by credit card over the iGiveCatholic website. Go to www.igivecatholic.org and search for our diocese and our parish. Advanced giving begins November 12th. Minimum gift is $25. Our goal is to raise enough money to pur-chase individual Chrome books for our students and a laminator for the school office. If you have questions regarding this event, please contact the church office or check out our website at icnewmadrid.com by clicking News and then Links, which will take you to the iGive web-site. Thank you for your ongoing support of our school!

This weekend, there will be a second collection for Catholic Charities of Southern Missouri. Please be generous.

Tickets are now being sold to win a decorated Christmas Tree. The price is $25/chance and the winner will be drawn on Friday, Nov 30th. Contact the church or school office, or any ICS family to purchase a ticket. Good Luck!

Whether in moments of joy or sorrow, we ought to give thanks to the Lord for his mercies in our lives. As one whose life has been transformed by your presence, I write to wish you all and your loved ones a happy and blessed Thanksgiving.

Father Dominic

NOTE: The church office will be closed on Thursday & Friday in observance of Thanksgiving.
