PLEASE, PLEASE be considerate of people sitting around you in Church. The Parish Office has received several calls & complaints about people coming into Church & sitting down too close together (unless you all live in the same house), so to remedy this we are asking you to skip a row between you & your neighbor. --- This virus is making its second round, and is getting “too close for comfort.” Nothing would be worse than being shut out of our beautiful Church during the Christmas season. Be smart, wear a mask, and sit in every other pew...It’s that simple. Thank you! --Parish Bulletin, Nov. 15, 2020

"... World War I – known at the time as 'The Great War' - officially ended when the Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919, in the Palace of Versailles outside the town of Versailles, France. However, fighting ceased seven months earlier when an armistice, or temporary cessation of hostilities, between the Allied nations and Germany went into effect on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. For that reason, November 11, 1918, is generally regarded as the end of 'the war to end all wars.' ... --- Please click on the above title/link to read more about the history of Veterans Day from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
