In
this FLU Season…
Regardless whether it’s swine or chicken flu, we are
recommended extra precautions to protect ourselves and others.
For Example:
·
Always cover your coughs or sneezes
·
Wash hands frequently. Do not steal the
soap from the church/hall bathroom
·
Be understanding of people who prefer
not to shake hands, not even for the sign of peace.
·
Receiving communion in the hand instead
of on the tongue minimizes direct contact. The same is true for abstaining from
the communion cup (temporarily), especially when you show symptoms of possible
influenza – stay home for 24 hours.
A 34 page H1N1 Flu Guide for Community and Faith-based
Organizations, published by US Department of Health & Human Services
is available for your perusal at the Rectory Office.

Loss
of a loved one
November and December can be especially painful when you
have recently lost a loved one. With All Souls Day, Thanksgiving & the
Christmas season the empty place at the family table will be difficult and the
annual routines will be different
·
Don’t idealize the past celebrations,
& don’t ignore your loss and your feeling lost.
·
Keep low expectations but be open to happy
surprises.
·
Don’t escape the emotional voids by
overcompensation.
·
Don’t withdraw – that’s not what your loved
one would like. He/she would expect you to put out the usual seasonal
decorations.
·
Make a donation to a Charity in honor
of your loved one
2009:
More couples want to go to a Catholic Engaged Encounter Weekend. Yet, there are less weekends given than ten
years ago! Why?
Because of lack
of presenting married couples! Are you ready to help engaged couples prepare
for the sacrament of marriage ? CEE will provide free training. For more
