October is the Month to focus on The Holy Rosary!
The SVdP Corner
The calls keep coming in for help with rent, utilities, and food. There seems to be no let up from the effects of covid! We are asking help for our pantry. You need to be Virtus trained and we can help you with that. This program takes place during the daytime. Please call Fr. Clift if you are interested.
We are in need of members for our organization, so please give it some consideration. I will be happy to answer any questions or have you accompany me during a transaction with a client. Most of the work is now done by phone because of covid. Call Kathy at 859 866 0430.
God bless us all and keep us safe so we can serve others.
Aside from the monthly cost of running our Churches, we should start to think about that which goes above and beyond those costs. There are many projects that could use some donations as well as people to head them up. There is a desire to place a veterans memorial outside St William Church, St Joseph Cemetery at Blanchet is in need of a Crucifix or statue. If you are interested in either of these , or have your own thoughts, please contact Fr Benton and let him know. Let us put some thought into how to get these projects funded.

This is the perfect time to learn to pray the Rosary! http://www.theholyrosary.org/ is an excellent site to visit to learn the prayers and Mysteries if you do not already know them. While we are home more due to covid-19, it gives us time to reflect on the Perfect Love, that is God. It only takes about fifteen to twenty minutes to pray, and the results are Graces given to us through our Blessed Mother.
