Mass Intentions
We are now accepting Mass Intentions for 2013. Contact the office to schedule a Mass. There is no need to actually drop by the office – you can make all of the arrangements over the phone or by email and then drop your Mass offering in the collection. A full listing of available dates is located here.
Mass Cancellation
There will be no noon Mass today, Wednesday, December 19th at Saint Joachim’s due to a funeral at Holy Trinity.
50/50 Draw
The 50/50 winner for November was Sandy Theriault. Thank you to everyone for your support. There will be no draw for December, but it will start again in the New Year.
Christmas Flower Memorial
Again this year we are asking for your assistance as we decorate Saint Joachim’s for Christmas. We encourage you to make a donation towards our Christmas flowers in memory of a loved one. Simply write the name(s) of those you would like to remember on an envelope and drop it in this weekend’s (December 15/16) collection. Please also indicate that the envelope is for “Flowers”, and include your envelope number. The names of all those being honored will be included in our Christmas bulletin.
2013 Sunday Envelopes
Envelopes will be available in the foyer beginning this weekend, December 15th & 16th. If the address listed on your envelopes is incorrect, please contact the office as that is the address where your 2012 tax receipts will be sent in January.
Please note: There will be no box of envelopes for PAD users who have requested not to receive one, or for those have signed up for both Debt Collection and Special Collections via PAD.
