BOOK OF THE NAMES OF THE DEAD
During the month of November there will be a special book placed in the parish hall in which to enter the names of your deceased loved ones. This book will serve as a reminder of the spiritual work of mercy and our obligation to pray for the souls of the dead. Our prayers, Masses, and sacrifices offered on behalf of the holy souls in purgatory will speed their entrance into heaven.
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord.
And let perpetual light shine upon them.
May they rest in peace.
Amen.
May their soul and the souls of all the
faithful departed rest in peace.
Amen.
Fr. Tim

Construction Begins.... Mass will be held in Parish Hall for Month
-
Time line of Work
On October 27th the O’Harrow Construction Company began work on the removal of the cupola and the installation of the pyramid dome. The first order of business was for the altar, the crucifix, the tabernacle, and the ambo to be covered and protected from damage. The floors will be protected as well. O’Harrow will first remove the wood trim on the inside of the cupola around the windows and then seal up the interior base of the cupola to prevent any debris from falling into the church. When this has been completed then the work of removing the cupola will begin. O’Harrow anticipates that it will take 7 - 10 days to complete their part of the project. This timeline might need to be adjusted due to inclement weather. They will be working on site each weekday from 8:00am - 4:30pm.

Mass & Confessions in the Parish Hall for 4-5 weeks
MASS AND CONFESSIONS HELD IN PARISH HALL During the period of construction and painting of the church, all Masses will be held in the parish hall. The Blessed Sacrament will be kept in the room to the left of the kitchen referred to as the apartment. Confessions will be heard in the room where the Blessed Sacrament is kept. Seating in the parish hall will be preset for social distancing. There will be groupings of chairs. If you are a single person or a couple please only use those chairs that are set up for 1 or 2. The larger seating sections will be for families. Chairs will need to remain in place in order to maintain social distancing.

You are invited to attend Realign Resources for Mission Meeting.........
-
Monday, November 16th @ 7p.m. @ Queens
Realign Resources for Mission Meeting On Monday November 16th at 7:00pm the Diocese of Lansing Realign Resources for Mission Committee will be meeting with St. Catherine Laboure and Queen of the Miraculous Medal parishioners in an effort to explain the reason, rational and methodology of the Realign Resources for Mission process and, most importantly, to listen to parishioners response of the process and how it could, potentially, impact our parish positivity or negatively. The meeting will take place at Queen’s Gym and will be approximately 90 minutes long. The meeting will consist of two components: First, a presentation on behalf of the RRM Committee; Second, small group discussion followed by feedback from parishioners on your hopes and fears for the process; what you love or feel needs to be known about our parish; and any specific suggestions you may have for the future of our parish and the diocese. All are most welcome.

Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Thanks to your donations of unused rosaries, medals and devotional items we at St. Catherine’s were able to send these items to American soldiers, a poor parish in Puerto Rico, a prison and homeless mission in Colorado and lastly Sacred Heart Church at the pine ridge Sioux Indian reservation. All express their loving thanks for these gifts of love from our Parish. I will continue to take these items and find those places who need them the most.
Thank you all, George. -

Most celebrations occur at the beginning of the month: November 1stis All Saints' Day, a tribute to all saints, while November 2ndis All Souls' Day, dedicated to praying for the dead.

40 Day for Life Starting Soon
-
40 Days for Life campaign in Jackson this fall is still on but due to the ongoing, uncertain nature of the Covid situation, it will look very different this year. There will be no large events or gatherings. There will be no physical sign-ups in churches, instead all sign-ups will take place through our website or through email, texts or phone calls. There will be no shared supplies at the vigil site and we will offer the opportunity for people who wish to hold a sign to get their own prior to the 40 Days. This will be a socially distanced, no-touch prayer campaign. St. Catherine parishioners will again cover each Friday from 2-6 pm at the prayer vigil. Please sign up online at www.40daysforlife.com/jackson

Prayer to St. Catherine Laboure
Saint Catherine Laboure, the Blessed Virgin Mary chose you to give to the world the gift of the Miraculous Medal. Despite the obstacles you had to overcome, you generously carried out the work Mary gave you to do. The rays of light shining from Our Lady's image represent the many graces that God bestows on those who dare to ask for them. With confidence and love I ask you to intercede for my paticular request. (mention it). Pray for me that I may obtain the gift of deep faith, hope and charity. Amen
