Saint Boniface Catholic Church   

This Sunday I am inviting you to make your commitment to Christ specific. Taking into account your personal situation this year as well as the challenges and demands facing us in our families and in our world, please review your commitment to time, talent, and treasure to the Lord. Time is primarily your personal spiritual life and growth. Talent reflects your abilities to help in and outside of the Church community. Treasure involves your giving to the Church and all Christian ministries. We must be very strong as a parish to serve our people, especially our youth in the upcoming year. It’s like making New Year’s resolutions or re-assessing one’s spiritual life each year during Lent. This coming year will present real challenges. This is why it’s important for all of us to re-commit our time, talent, and treasure on an annual basis. Please bring your Commitment Card in its envelope and put it in the basket outside the worship area. We will gather these and send them to Catholic Stewardship Consultants after Sunday, Nov. 29th .
 Thanksgiving services. Bilingual service Wednesday evening at 7:00. English- Thanksgiving morning 10:00.  
Sunday November 22 and 29 Maureen Mashburn will have a special sale of calendars and Christmas items. Benefit will go to the tuition fund.
Prayers for all the faithful departed: During November we will pray each Sunday for those whom we list in our prayer book. This book will be available before and after all Masses. I want to draw your attention to the importance of Mass intentions for the faithful departed.

STREAM (You-Tube) or on the App -  - The Chosen a new TV series that is a down-to-earth (but goose-bump producing) story of the life of Christ!  Starring Jonathan Roumie, a dedicated Catholic, it is authentic and ever-so inspring.  Find it on Facebook or Instagram as well as their own App.

The Church is open for worship or medititation every day from 8am to 7 pm, with silent Adoration on Thursdays from 5pm to 8pm.  Use this time to stop in, pray and worship our Lord. Deacon Ragland is there during Adoration and for personal counseling, if needed.

Please continue to support the parish through your contributions, financially and otherwise.  You can use the website Donate page or give through your bank, or mail a check. Time and Talents are certainly needed as well, so remember that  we need everyone to keep the church going!
The Bishop of Tyler has asked that all the faithful, and clerby, please wear a mask during the celebration of the Mass.  This is to protect all of us. 

"To promote the spiritual growth of our community and to nurture personal relationships with Jesus Christ through hospitality, prayer, formation and service, ultimately leading many to eternal life with our Lord in Heaven."
 

...to our visitors and new parishioners!! 
We welcome you with great joy to our Parish family.  
Father Paul Key, Pastor
