In addition, 25% of the funds we col-lect remain in our diocese to fund local anti-poverty projects. Please prayerfully consider how you can support this collection and those working on the margins.

During the upcoming Advent Season, we reflect on the many gifts for which we are grateful, and the many bless-ings we have received. The members of the Society of St. Vincent DePaul are thankful for many things. One of our greatest gifts is the generosity and kindness of the pa-

rishioners of St. Cletus. We would like to thank everyone who helped make our St. Cletus Quilt Raffle a success. By helping us, you have touched the hearts and the lives of those in need within our parish boundary. We would also like to thank the St. Cletus Quilters for their on-going support and talent. Congratulations to our winners, Mary Young and Joan Buchheit. Again, a heartfelt thank you!

“WHOSOEVER DIES IN THIS GARMENT SHALL NOT SUFFER ETERNAL FIRE.”

-promise of Our Lady to St. Simon Stock on July 16, 1251

“We know earthly death is not the end, but rather the door through which we must pass to gain eternal life. Because of our belief and hope in the Resurrection, we can face death not with fear, but with preparation… We prepare for eternal life by choosing to love and follow God now, in our daily lives and decisions.”
