The OLMC Knights of Columbus are sponsoring a “Novena for Life” for nine Saturday mornings at 7:30 AM from November 24th- January 19th. The Novena will be directly before the Saturday morning Mass in the church. This Novena is in support of the Aid to Women Center and all Pro Life activities.

Special Pancake Breakfast
In contrast to our usual Pancake Breakfast, the Pancake Breakfast this Sunday is reserved for those participating in the Diocesan “Together we go Forth” Campaign. We will be serving breakfast after the 7, 9 AND 11 AM Mass times. We are estimating four times our normal number of diners, probably close to 400. This means we need “lots” of help. Setting up starting at 6:30 AM, Cooking and Serving, and then Cleanup somewhere around 1 PM. Several of your brothers who usually help are not available this weekend so we need all the help possible!
