If you have lost a love one(s) to death in this past year, whether they lived in the Village or elsewhere, you are invited to participate in our annual special Mass of Remembrance on Wednesday, December 13 at 9:00 a.m. at Sacred Heart Church. We invite and encourage all parishioners to come to this Mass to pray with and support all those whose loved ones have died over the last 12 months. Please come early for Mass if you lost a loved one so we can get their name for use during the Mass. A reception will follow in the Lower Hall sponsored by Parish Life. 
The Knights of Columbus have worked out a special fundraising program with our local Domino's Pizza Shop. This weekend is the last time to purchase a "Slice the Price" card, before or after Mass. The card is sold for $10 each which entitles the holder to use the card as many times as desired - until June 30, 2018! Pay for these fundraising cards by cash or check. Cards sould be available for pick-up December 16/17.When a card holder purchases one large-size pizza (14 inch) at regular price, that person will receive one large (or smaller) pizza for FREE! The $10 card purchase does not go toward the purchase of your pizza. It is a donation. So, when you pay for one large-size pizza, you get the second pizza at no extra cost! The card can also be used for larger purchases.
See your Knights of Columbus this weekend!
