FROM THE DESK OF FR. FALLON Hi Everyone! Hope you're gearing up for another great Thanksgiving! Can you believe it's this time of year already? We're going to change Thanksgiving Mass to 9 A.M. this year. Some of you are trying to get Tom Turkey ready to go in the morning, and we want to give you a little more time. Let's pray together on Thursday and give thanks! TODAY we're celebrating our parish patroness, St. Elizabeth of Hungary. The more I learn about her, I realize she is an amazing example of humility and kindness. We can learn a lot from this young royal, who cared more about her heavenly crown than her earthly one. Join us at 5pm today for the parish potluck in the cafeteria! Maybe invite someone who's been away for a while, or would benefit from some community! Peace, Fr. Fallon
