Fr. Mike's Message - 11/21/2021

Welcome to Thanksgiving week! Masses on Thanksgiving Day will be at 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. What a great way to start the day with Mass, our great prayer of thanks.

Next Sunday we will begin our Advent Season. As we spend the Season of Advent preparing for the birth of the Lord into our world and into our hearts, we will once again have our Advent Giving Tree. Please consider participating and brightening the Christmas of some folks who wouldn’t otherwise have much reason to celebrate.

Also during Advent, we will host the Advent by Candlelight for women on December 5th. On December 9th we will host an evening for men, Advent by Neon Light, at 1869 Draft Room. Information on both of these can be found on our website, in the bulletin and in our school newsletters.

LAST CHANCE TO WIN BIG! Our SFBGS Home & School Raffle is underway and the drawing will be held this Tuesday, November 23rd.. Tickets are available by calling the parish or school office or you can get one from a school family.  The tickets cost $25 each and give you an opportunity to win one of three prizes: $2,500, $1,000, or $500.  The Home & School Association is made up of parents of our Grade School students and they do so much to support our school.  Please consider buying a ticket.  We are indeed blessed by our Home & School Association and grateful to them for their ongoing support of SFBGS.

I hope you have a Blessed and Happy Thanksgiving. Be safe in your travels. Know of my prayers for you and your loved ones, and for my deep gratitude for who you are and what you do!
