Dear Parents:

Staring Thursday November 16, the grade 8 students will begin a major fundraising effort for their grade 8 trip. This fundraiser will allow individual students to sell chocolates off site. Each participating student will receive a box of containing 30 bars. In order for a child to participate in the contest, a parent/guardian must sign a permission form that will be distributed to students.  No child will be issued a box of candy without a signed permission form.  The permission form states that the child can receive a case of World’s Finest Chocolate to sell as part of the fundraising contest being conducted by the grade 8 students. By signing this form, the parent/guardian understands that their child agrees to sell the bars of WFC candy and that guardian is responsible for their child turning in $90 in cash for each case sold.  These funds must be paid in cash.   
Parent permission forms have been sent home today. Please sign and return.

HOLY SOULS DAY

Prayer for our Dear Departed


O Good Jesus, Whose loving Heart was ever troubled by the sorrows of others, look with pity on the souls of our dear ones in Purgatory. O Thou who didst "love Thine own," hear our cry for mercy, and grant that those whom Thou hast called from our homes and hearts may soon enjoy everlasting rest in the home of Thy love in Heaven. Amen.

V. Eternal Rest grant unto them, O Lord. 

R. And let perpetual light shine upon them. Amen.


ALL:
Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Most Precious Blood of Thy Divine Son, Jesus, in union with the masses said throughout the world today, for all the holy souls in purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the universal church, those in my own home and within my family. Amen.
