ST. ANNE CHURCH
FRENCH VILLAGE, MO.

As we approach the holiday season are you willing to do something kind for your less fortunate brother?

The local St.Vincent de Paul Society helps feed the needy of our area. They respond to the needs of those living in Bonne Terre and northern St. Francois county.

We need your help!! As the saying goes "Ole Mother Hubbard’s cupboard is bare." A box has been placed in the back of church. If you would like to help, please place your canned goods in this box. They will be taken to the St. Vincent de Paul and distributed to the hungry.
Thank you for your kind showing of support.

P.S.R.

All students, grades 7 through 12 are invited to a Bible Study and a planned "Special Activity" on Sunday, November 4, 2007. We will begin after the 10:00am Mass. If you are now attending the PSR classes you DO NOT have to call before you attend the Bible Study. If you are NOT attending the PSR classes then please call Gretchen Pratte at 573-358-5876.

Eucharistic Adoration

Our monthly first Friday, Eucharistic Adoration will begin at 8:30am on Friday, November 2, 2007. This day is also the Commemoration of all the Faithful Departed. Some call it (All Souls Day). It is not a Holy day of Obligation. If you cannot attend Mass, please stop by and say a prayer for those departed. Benediction at 5:00pm.

You Are Invited!!!!!

I would like to extend an invitation to the children of St. Joseph/St. Anne to stop by my patio on Halloween Evening. Dad, Stony, and myself along with a special guest will be on the patio after 6:00pm to greet you. In the past I have gotten to see the children that attend our school. This year I extend an i9nvitation to all the children of the neighborhood. We can’t wait to see all the goblins and gools.

We have a lovely "Gift Shop" in the back of church. It is open before and after the 10:00am Mass every Sunday. If you are looking for that special gift for someone you just might find it there. Soon we will be coming into the season of Advent. Do you have an Advent wreath at home? This would be a wonderful idea for someone as a housewarming gift.

Feast Days in November

November 2, the Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed, dovetails with November 1, the Feast of All Saints. The saints, our models of Christian living, are one with God in heaven. All the faithful departed are those who have died with hope and trust in a loving God who calls us to greater growth and development, even beyond death. This growth and development occurs in a state of being that we have traditionally called Purgatory.

While the Western Church has emphasized the cleansing and purifying nature of Purgatory, the Eastern Orthodox Church has emphasized the growth and development aspect of it. Today, belief in Purgatory allows one who has died in Christ to continue growing and developing before meeting God face to face. God continually invites communion with these loved ones, but some feel the need to continue growing and developing before entering into full communion with God.

These November feasts vividly remind us of the rich reality known as the Communion of Saints. This belief stresses the strong affirmation that the Church is always one in Christ. Death does not sever any of the bonds that unite us in Christ. That is why it is a fitting practice to pray for the dead and to ask them to pray for us. Just as we do that for each other when we are alive, so, to, do we continue that bond and concern for each other even beyond death.
