ALL SAINTS DAY

Tuesday, November 2nd is All Souls Day.
This year neither day is a Holy Day of Obligation. However, Mass will be celebrated at 9:00 AM and 7:00 PM both days. They are very special days to remember our own call to holiness/sainthood and also to remember and
honor our departed loved ones. Please use the special envelopes to remember your departed loved ones
and place a leaf on our Remembrance Tree.

SOUTHERN CROSS
Put faith in your opinions – subscribe to the Southern Cross.
The annual Southern Cross subscription drive is underway.
For $20 you will receive 45 issues of news in the Savannah Diocese.
Give a gift of the Southern Cross to your college student.
Subscription envelopes are in your Southern Cross and at the back of the church.

PRISON PEN PAL
Fr. Ingram has a very devout Catholic prisoner he ministers to who would like to establish a "pen pal" relationship
with a fellow Catholic. He has no Catholic family members with which to discuss his faith and there are very few Catholic
inmates for him to discuss matters with. Fr. Ingram only gets out to Central State Prison once per month for about
four hours. His name and address is listed below.
Warren Reid Hall #179172  C.S.P., E4-105
4600 Fulton Mill Road
Macon, GA 31208
Please let Fr. Ingram know if you are interested and he will gladly give you any additional information needed.

PRISON MINISTRY
Fr. Ingram does a monthly prison ministry at Central State Men's Prison in Lizella, GA. He is requesting donations of items to help the 12-15 Catholic inmates he serves have a little nicer Christmas.
Needed personal care items include:
white socks, soap, shampoo, toothpaste, toothbrush, deodorant, lotion.
Individual serving food items include:
candy bars, cookies, chips, snack cakes, ramen soup, soda and juice (plastic bottles only).

TODAY IS WORLD MISSION SUNDAY
We are called to this Eucharistic celebration—along with Catholics in every parish, chapel and church throughout the
world—to recommit ourselves to the call we heard at  Baptism, to share our faith, to be missionaries.
Let us pray at this Mass for all who long to hear the hope-filled, life- giving message of Jesus' love and salvation.
Let us offer generous financial help to the Society for the Propagation of the Faith in support of the service of priests, Religious and lay catechists in more than 1,150 local churches throughout Africa, Asia, the Pacific Islands and remote
regions of Latin America.

VIRTUS TRAINING
VIRTUS:  Protecting God's Children for Adults Program is a mandatory training session for all liturgical ministers
throughout the Diocese of Savannah.  This training session focuses on ways to make and maintain a safe environment
for all children.  The training will help you recognize warning signs of child abuse and respond appropriately.  Our next
training sessions will be offered on Thursday, November 4th at 6:00  PM and on Saturday, November 6th at 9:00 AM 
Please call Petra at 788-6386 to register. .

CATHOLICS COME HOME
Be on the lookout for an exciting new program coming to the Diocese of Savannah and the Archdiocese of Atlanta
called "Catholics Come Home." It is a united effort to reconnect fallen away Catholics back to their Catholic faith
and coming back to church. Very positive and powerful television commercials will air on the major networks during
prime time December 17, 2010 through January 23, 2011. We must be prepared here at Holy Spirit to welcome them
back home and make them feel like long-missed family members. How can we make them feel welcome and
wanted? In what ways are you willing to help? Mike and Joyce Danovi have volunteered to be our contact persons
for this new program. Please contact them to volunteer and/or offer suggestions.
