PRAYER TO ST SIMON AND ST JUDE, APOSTLES ST SIMON AND ST JUDE, APOSTLES; FEAST:

OCTOBER 28

Little is known of these two apostles, whose names are always linked in the Gospel accounts. Simon is called the Zealot, and Jude “son of James.”

PRAYER:

Father, you revealed yourself to us through the preaching of your apostles Simon and Jude. By their prayers, give your Church continued growth and increase the number of those who believe in you. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

Amen.

The Daily Dollar Calendars are here. This is a great

fundraiser for Holy Cross School. They will be available in the church vestibule and church pews.

Seven individual calendars are enclosed. Each calendar costs $25, and if you purchase/sell six of them you will

receive the 7th one free. Additional calendars are available in the church office. There is a special drawing

for those who sell more than the original six. For each

additional six you sell, you will also receive another 7th one free as usual, but you will get one

entry into an early bird drawing worth $500 dollars. This drawing is only if you sell more than

the original six. And it is one entry for every 6

additional calendars sold. So do not hesitate to ask your family and friends and co-workers to

help support the efforts of our school.

Thank you in advance for you support of the “Daily Dollars” Calendar fundraiser.
