the loop regarding middle and high school youth events. To be added
to Bosco’s “class”, text@bosco20 to 81010. Everyone is welcome,
but parents and teens are highly encouraged to join!
High School Youth Nights are a time of answering the hard parts
about our faith, growing in our relationship with Jesus, hanging out
with friends and of course, snacks are provided. High school teens
will not only learn about their faith but they will also find out a little
bit of what their personal mission is in life.
Whether you are just starting college or you have returned as a senior,
your Bosco and Parish family wants you to know we are thinking and
praying for you. We are planning to send Bosco Care Packages to
our college students at the beginning of Advent. Would you like to
receive one? We are still figuring out what to include in them...so
plan on being surprised! Parents - send us your college student’s
name, name of college and address to [email protected].
St. Mary’s Parish Representative for the Bosco Core Team is Brad

Veterans Day - November 11
Dear God,
You have called your people to many walks of life.
Some like St. Francis were called to a life of peace and others to the life of a soldier and warrior.
David, the Maccabees, Saints Joan, George and Martin all were called by you to take up arms n the service and
protection of their citizens.
On this day, bless those who have given their time, talents, and in some cases their lives, to protect our freedoms.
Guide them in their tours of duty.
Comfort the wounded and their families.
Remind us to appreciate their sacrifices.
Amen.
Prayer for Bishop Siegel
O Lord, who for the feeding of your flock
have set your servant Joseph over it
as a successor to the Apostles,
grant him, we pray,
a spirit of counsel and fortitude,
a spirit of knowledge and piety,
so that, by faithfully governing the people entrusted to him,
he may build up in the world the sacrament of the Church.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.
(Roman Missal: Masses and Prayers for Various Needs and Occasions, #3)

ples headed for divorce have successfully saved their marriages by

Cemetery Update
By the gazebo, near the cemetery, is a patio storage box that contains
flowers that have been blown off the headstones. Check and see if
any of these flowers are yours. Please mark your flowers before you
put them on the headstone so we can return them to the correct place
if they get blown off. Also, please remember that nothing can be in
or on the ground.
