We are in that time of year where there are a ton of activities happening in our local
communities. It seems to me that about every church in the area will have some
kind of dinner in an effort to gathering in the local community and to raise some
needed funds. As you are making your weekend plans, please keep in mind the
following activities that will be occurring within our linkage parishes. Next Sunday,
October 23rd, St. Mary, Ackley will be having its annual Turkey Dinner. The dinner is
from 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm. On Sunday, October 30th St. Patrick, Hampton will be
having a Pork Loin Dinner from 11:30 am to 2:30 pm. On Sunday, November 6 th, St.
Mary, Eldora will be serving brunch in the parish center from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm. I
am a firm believer in creating opportunities outside of Mass to gather parishioners
together. Especially in creating opportunities for all four parishes to gather together.
Please give it a chance and don’t be afraid to support one another! We are one Body
in Christ!

The Family Life Office reflection question
for couples: Today's Gospel reading (Luke

Encourage each other.
