OUR
NEW BULLETIN COVER
I’m sure by
now you have noticed our new bulletin
cover, with all our new updated
information regarding staff, contact
numbers, and our E-mail addresses. The
picture of our Lady of Sorrows on the
cover is very beautiful in color, and we
would like to have it appear in three
colors as soon as possible. Our
representative, John Strohmeier, will be
here next weekend from J. S. Paluch (our
bulletin company) to talk to any of the
people in our parish who may be business
owners willing to advertise on the back of
our bulletin. The more advertising spaces
we fill up, the faster we will be
publishing in color. John will be
available after every Mass on October
28th & 29th. If you would like to
place your business advertisement in Mater
Dolorosa’s parish bulletin, please
see John after Mass next weekend.

Like most of you, I have
heard the ugly rumors and
misinformation about Father
Caverte, myself, and members of
the school staff. As much as I
would like to say something, the
Archdiocese has told me not to
say anything for fear it might
jeopardize the Father Caverte
Investigation. I will follow the
Archdiocese’s advice and
keep quiet knowing that the truth
will eventually come out.
A big “thank-you”
to the following ladies who
helped stuff the All Souls letter
you got this past week: Mae
Dunleavy, Lona Eichhorn, Donna
Sartori, and Pearl Valencia.
These ladies were here almost all
day Tuesday helping me to help
you. It’s because of people
like this that I am proud to be a
part of Mater Dolorosa Parish.

Have
a great
week!
