soon as possible for anointing.

Baptism: Normally celebrated at weekend Masses.

Parental sessions are required.

Marriages: Six month couple preparation period

required. Please contact Fr. Cory before scheduling

Mass Intentions: As Catholics, we have a long

tradition of having Masses celebrated for those we

offer up in prayer. The Mass is the ultimate form of

prayer, and each Mass is celebrated for an

intention. We ask $10.00 per mass intention.

Please consider having Masses celebrated for

family and friends on special occasions and

anniversaries, as well as those who are in need of

prayers. Masses are also encouraged in memory of

those loved ones who have died, especially on the

anniversaries of their deaths. Please contact Fr.

Cory for more information.

Stewardship and Development Thoughts from Judy Held

President, Catholic Foundation of Eastern Montana

Stewardship Thought: “Well done, my good and faithful servant. Since you have been faithful in small

matters, I will give you great responsibilities.”- MATTHEW 25:21

God expects us to nurture and develop the gifts He has given us and then generously return a portion with

increase. He doesn’t want us to waste or hoard the gifts He has given us; He expects us to grow our gifts,

use them wisely and be generous with them. Unfortunately, many of us are not generous in proportion to

all that God has given us.

Stewardship of Treasure: Appreciated stock makes a great gift to benefit our parish! You can even

potentially receive a generous tax credit for doing so in 2017. Ask the Catholic Foundation of Eastern

Montana for information: 800-332-9998, ext. 120 or judy@catholicfoundationmt.org.

Please Pray For

Janeen Brookie, LaVonne Compton, Gerry Williams, Gloria Coombs, Linda Berg, Myrtle Hould, Jeanie

Engebretson, John Murray, Terry Stiles, Payton Kill Eagle, Mary Kelly, Roberta Pospisil and those from

our local area serving in the military.

For the repose of the souls of Lila Raymond, Lester Metz, Dolores Andrews, Gladys Jacobson, Byron

Ereaux, Roger Ereaux, Scott Lindgren, Nancy Soennichesen, the Poor Souls in Purgatory, and for

comfort and peace for their families.

Anyone who needs to have prayers said for someone can call: Dianne Salsbery at 654-1443 or 654-4675;

Jean Niebur at 654-2822. Names will be listed in the bulletin for one month unless specified.

Send Us Your Announcements!

Please contact Fr. Cory at frcory@SaintMarysMalta.org if you have any bulletin announcements!

Drinking the Spirit

“Drinking the Spirit” is a great opportunity for us to gather as adult Catholics to grow in our Catholic faith

and as a community. Each month we will have a different Catholic topic with a presenter. Questions and

discussions are encouraged. We are each responsible for our own "beverages" and food. This should be a

relaxing and enjoyable way of learning about the Catholic faith. Please plan on joining us, spread the

word, and bring a friend!

Our next Drinking the Spirit will be on December 4th, 7 PM at the Tin Cup. Fr. Bart Stevens of St.

Anthony’s Parish has been rescheduled to speak on his conversion to Catholicism and journey to the

priesthood! All are invited to join us to hear his story!
