St Gertrude celebrated Candy’s retirement this past weekend following the 9:30 am Mass. Thanks Candy for your years of service to St Gertrude Catholic Church and her wonderful families.

Sr. Phillip Marie Burl, C.P.P.S. will be here at St. Gertrude to address our parishioners this Sunday, Oct. 7th, at the 6 PM Mass. Since Sunday will be the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, Sister Phillip will speak of "The Family Rosary as a Pray for Healing". All Parishioners are encouraged to attend.

The Catholic Church dedicates October the month of the Rosary. The Rosary is a collection of prayers and meditations on the life of Jesus Christ. If prayed carefully, meaningfully, it reminds us of the life of Jesus as we pray and meditate. It is said to be one of the greatest weapons against the devil and all evils of the world. As we celebrate the month of the Rosary, let us offer our prayers for our families, our parish community, our Catholic Church, and all the evils of the world that want to destroy everything that is good and holy.

Upgrades to the Fr. Mac Community Center is on the way thanks to funds from the Bingo Kitchen Committee! With some of the profits from Bingo, the Fr. Mac Center is getting a face lift! With the help of some parishioners donating their time to paint, clean, and spruce up the building, it will look so much better. It should be complete in a couple of weeks! Stop by to check out the changes while playing Bingo and support the changes and upgrades! Photos coming soon!

Thanks to the dedication of a group of parishioners, we have re-established weekly Bingo on Sunday afternoons at 2PM in the Fr. Mac Center. Consider joining us for Bingo, refreshments, and a 50/50 Raffle! All proceeds go to help keep up the church and grounds! Interested in assisting at Bingo? Any and all help is appreciated! Come by and talk to anyone of the committee members they will be glad to have additional help!
