now available for pick-up and online. This 16 week schedule
includes four sign-up opportunities for Christmas (12/24-
25/14), Holy Family Weekend (12/27-28/14), Mary, Mother
of God (1/1/2015), and Easter (4/4-5/15).
Greeters / Altar Servers / Lectors please pick up a copy
of the schedule so you can put the dates you are scheduled to
serve on your home calendars. Greeters, Altar Servers,
and Lectors need to sign in prior to each Mass in the Lay
Minister Notebook in Conference Room A both when you
are scheduled to serve and when you are covering for
someone else.
Eucharistic Ministers are self-scheduling by sign-up and
do not need to pick up a schedule. There are 3 ways to sign
up to be a Eucharistic Minister please see page 5 of the
Bulletin. Eucharistic Ministers do need to sign in prior to
each Mass in the Lay Minister Notebook in Meeting Room
A so that we know that we have the number needed before
each Mass. PLEASE don't wait to be asked - come to
Meeting Room A when you arrive and VOLUNTEER.
Ushers are self-scheduling by attendance and so do not
need to pick up a schedule and do not need to sign in each
weekend in the Lay Minister Notebook in Meeting Room A.
On behalf of the St. Mary's Parish, I want to thank all
those who serve our faith community as Lay Ministers.

Dear Fr. Bill & Parishioners, Land of Peace Mission would like to express humble appreciation to you for allowing us to visit your church on the weekend of November 1-2, 2014. With you kindness and through the generosity of your parishioners, the sales of the olive wood carvings received through Jerusalem Christian Families totaled $3,950.00. The total donations for the Catholic Hospital in Bethlehem was $374.00 It was with great excitement for us to observe so many kind people at your parish, who were interested in our religious articles and some expressed their intention to visit the Holy Land when the peace prevails. Please remember that you, and the members of your parish are included in our prayers. Again, thank you for your support in helping us and our brothers and sisters in Christ with compassion, dignity, and respect. May you enjoy God’s many glorious blessings. Peace be with you, Noel Alshomali, Director, Land of Peace
MEALS ON WHEELS VOLUNTEERS Volunteers are the backbone of our Meals on Wheels Program. Not only do our volunteers deliver meals to our homebound seniors they also deliver a warm smile and a friendly greeting when they arrive at the door. Drivers pick up meals at a central location, and then follow a specific route making several stops along the way to our homebound seniors. Routes take approximately 1 hour. As a volunteer driver you can volunteer as often or as little as your schedule will permit. We are in desperate need of drivers to deliver food to our homebound seniors. Our specific need right now is in the Pinckney area! For more information please contact: Carol Zastrow or Lucy McKinnon at 810-632-2155 or email: [email protected]

Saturday, November 15, 2014, at 7pm
Father Gabriel Richard High School Chapel
4333 Whitehall Drive, Ann Arbor, MI

lieu of an admission price.

The Fairy Tale Story: Once upon a time, there were two
children, a boy and a girl living in separate parts of the world.
The boy was born & raised in the United States, the girl was
born in Russia. In 2011 Nica & Joe’s paths crossed & it was
musical love at first sight; a flawless union of classical & pop
music. They reached the finals of the German X-Factor 2011
& released their first self-titled album. Nica & Joe are
planning their first concerts outside of Europe, and Joe could
think of no better place to start than his hometown.
