THANK YOU for supporting yesterday’s Pre-Christmas Bazaar.

We will have free recipe cards, students from Whitney Pier Memorial Middle School will show their wycinanki Polish paper art. We will also recognize the legacy book contribution in memory of Delores Starzomski.

PARISH NOVEMBER LUNCH AFTER MASS will take place this time on the second Sunday, November 13. We will mark Polish Independence Day. Lots of gratitude to anyone who can bring a dish next Sunday. If you can bring something, please let Tom Urbaniak know. As part of the literary challenge to Polish communities around the world (we have been directly invited to take part by Consul General Wiśniewski) – the featured author this year being Adam Mickiewicz -- we will recite together the poem/ballad Powrót Taty. You can listen to it and see the text on YouTube. Here’s a link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyZe suBUPV0 Please take a look at it. It will be fun to try this together as a community!

HAND-MADE DISH CLOTHS – FUNDRAISER FOR UKRAINIAN HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE: at the back of the church. These beautiful unique dishcloths have been handmade by Dee-Dee (Yurczyszyn) Jackson and her sister Brenda Yurczyszyn and were donated to us (via Marjorie Ardelli) for the Ukrainian humanitarian fund. Available small size 2 for $5, large size $3 each.

VEHICLE PLATES: Cape Breton Polonia and Nova Scotia Polonia front vehicle plates are still available. $25.00 each

UKRAINIAN HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE: Thank you for your continued support in the midst of this terrible human suffering. Special envelopes are at the back of the church. Or you can contribute via our CanadaHelps page. We are supporting our sister city Wałbrzych’s refugee assistance fund, the Catholic Near East Welfare Association, and the Canadian Catholic Organization for Development and Peace.

FOOD CUPBOARD: Please consider bringing a non-perishable food or personal care item (e.g. shampoo, soap, toilet paper) to church when you come to Mass. These items will help stock our food cupboard outside the Polish Village Hall. There is a significant need in our community. Thank you for any help.

ALTAR SOCIETY: Thanks so much to Peggy Ryba and Lynette Ryba for being on in October. Our lead volunteers for November are Ursula Melski and Eileen Fagan-Steele.

Sponsors are recognized on air – and any dedications, too (eg. if you’re sponsoring as a memorial or as a birthday or anniversary gift). The Coast is generously redirecting the sponsorships back to the St. Michael’s Polish Benefit Society (which produces the segments), which has been a big help to the Society.
