Legion of Mary Meeting
After our information meeting 2 weeks ago we would like to try to establish a Legion of Mary presidium at Mater Dei. Our meetings will initially (for around the first six weeks) be on Monday evenings at 7pm and last approximately one and a quarter hour. In addition there will be a two hour work assignment for active members each week and daily prayers for auxiliary members. After the first six weeks we may change the day of week based on what is best for the majority of members schedules. So if Mondays are not the best fit don’t let that discourage you! Our first meeting will be Monday October 21st, at 7pm in classroom 1.

Catholic Philosophy Class
Deacon Robinson is offering a course on Catholic Philosophy beginning on October 27th following 10am Mass. This course will present Catholic Philosophy in layman’s terms and will bring forward valuable lessons while also highlighting errant modern philosophies of the day. The compare and contrast will help all to see clearer correct Catholic thinking while showing how modern philosophies have created a culture of death and culture of hedonism. This 8 class course is available to all, but recommended for those 9th grade and above. A sign up with dates for classes is on the bulletin board in the narthex.
All Saints Day Party Canceled
Our annual All Saints Party had to be cancelled for this year. Unfortunately, we had insufficient volunteers for the event. We thank those who did offer their help. With the help of new volunteers we hope to resurrect this party next year.
