From Fr. Joe…. Like so many others, I’m counting my blessings these days and giving thanks to God…for you! I’m so grateful for your prayers and support, your patience and good example, and youth faith which renews my own. May God bless you and all your loved ones abundantly this Thanksgiving and always.

Welcome to St. André’s Parish! No matter who you are, where you’ve come from, or what brings you here, we’re so glad to have you with us. St. André Bessette (1845-1937) spent much of his life serving as the door-keeper of his religious community; like him, we strive to open doors for our neighbors to experi-ence the loving mercy of God. May Jesus fill your heart with his grace and peace!

Vespers The Evening Prayer of the Church

Open to All ~ Sponsored by André’s Brothers

Prayer to St. Michael

As some may recall, this prayer, written by Pope Leo XIII (1810-1903), was prayed after Mass for many years. We would do well to ask once again for the protection of the leader of heaven’s ar-mies in these turbulent and uncertain times.

Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle,

be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.

May God rebuke him we humbly pray; and do thou,

O Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan

and all the evil spirits who prowl through the world

seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

Sacrament of Baptism Parents who wish to have a child baptized should contact Rev. Joseph Giroux to make arrangements for the date and for a program of preparation. Parents are highly encour-aged to make arrangements at least three months before the child is born, as the Catholic Church encourages Baptism for infants as soon as possible after birth. Adults and older children (seven years or older) interested in Baptism or en-tering into full communion with the Catholic Church should inquire about the program of preparation (R.C.I.A.: the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults). Sacrament of Matrimony A Catholic wishing to be married in one of our churches should contact one of the priests at least six months prior to the desired date in order to begin making arrangements. A program of preparation is required. The parish should be contacted before any other plans are made—for example, the wedding reception. Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick For those preparing for surgery, nursing home residents, or the homebound, contact one of the parish priests to make arrangements to be anointed. For those in the hospital (especially in the event of an emergency), ask the hospital staff to contact the priest on call.

If you’d like to contribute to St. André’s Parish electronically—one time only or monthly, either from your checking ac-count or credit card—you can now do so directly from the parish website: stan-dres.org. Thanks for your generosity
