U.n.I. TEENS & YOUNG ADULTS SPONSORED ACTIVITIES – NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT!

The U.n.I. Lord Teen Group is asking for 18 used adult-sized baseball gloves that will be sent to our troops in Afghanistan along with baseballs and bats. They will be used for our troops when they have time for a little R&R.  Please drop them off at the Rectory Office.  God bless you for your support.

THANKS to all who continue to bring in hygiene supplies and new socks.  They are still needed.  We will be collecting clean used coats and jackets ONLY in November.  Please check your closets.  Again, we will be collecting coats and jackets only – no other clothing will be accepted.  Please give those other items to another charity.   

U.n.I. Lord Teens invite all our preschool through 5^th grade children to a COSTUME PARTY this Sunday, October 25^th, from 2:00-4:00 P.M. in the parish hall.  Parents must accompany their children during this event. 

 

THE PUMPKIN PRAYER: Dear God, as I carve my pumpkin, help me say this prayer: (Cut open the top of the pumpkin.) Open my mind so I can learn about You. (Clean out the inside.)  Take away all my sin and forgive me for the bad things I do. (Cut eyes shaped like hearts.)  Open my eyes so Your love I will see.  (Cut a nose in the shape of a cross ) I’m sorry for turning up my nose to all You’ve given me.   (Cut out ears shaped like the Bible.)  Open my ears so Your work I will hear. (Cut the mouth in the shape of a fish.) Open my mouth so I can tell others You’re near. (Place a candle inside and light it.)  Let Your light shine in all I say and do! Amen.  “Let my mouth be filled with Your praise and with Your glory all the day.” {Psalms 71:8}

Our Sincere Gratitude

The Diocesan Council of Filipino Catholics in the Diocese of San Jose would like to thank the many parishes and Filipino-American parish organizations for their very generous response to the special collection of used clothing, non-perishable foods, canned goods and medicines to help the people hardest hit by typhoons Ketsana and Parma in the Philippines.  We have shipped more than 400 cargo boxes to Caritas, Manila, the Diocese of Pasig and the Diocese of Antipolo.  Relief efforts continue. We are very grateful to Alpha Cargo Forwarders for the free shipment of the relief goods.  Given the massive destruction in the aftermath of these typhoons, the Filipino American Communities in the Diocese are very appreciative of your expression of love.  

A SPECIAL THANK YOU to St. Victor’s Parishioners for their financial generosity to Catholic Relief Services ($7,650.00) for ALL the disaster victims of the Philippines, Vietnam, Cambodia, Samoa, Tonga and Indonesia.

THANK YOU to all the Mission refreshment helpers for their hours of work during our Parish Mission, especially Tony & Lita Zaragoza, Karen Fear, Helen Chavez, Lieu Pham, Loat Dinh and all the cookies bakers for your yummy treats.

 

There will be a second collection next weekend for St. Victor’s Development Fund.
