Making a whip of cords, he drove them all out of the temple…he also poured out the coins of the moneychangers and overturned their tables… “Take these things out of here! Stop making my Father’s house a marketplace!”

WORLD DAY OF THE POOR – NOVEMBER 16, 2025 NOVEMBER FOOD DRIVE HOSTED BY SAINT VINCENT DE PAUL YOU ARE MY HOPE (PSALM 71:5) In his message of June 13, 2025 Pope Leo invites us to celebrate the World Day of the Poor, November 16th (33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time). He calls us to consider the spiritual power of the poor among us. Our Holy Father reminds us of the essence of the work we do, and urges us to redouble our efforts towards those in need. The closing words of his message are a call for social justice, and an expression of gratitude for those initiatives that already exist, through the efforts demonstrated daily by great numbers of men and women of good will. For the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul this event represents a great opportunity to bring awareness of the poor among us, increase the visibility of our mission and activities, and to collect funds and non-perishable goods, to ensure the long-term viability of our good works on behalf of our neighbours in need. In response to Pope Leo’s appeal, Our Lady of Guadalupe Conference invites you to lend a hand by participating in this year’s World Day of the Poor Food drive, throughout the month of November. Shopping carts will be placed in the church foyer and downstairs near the entrance doors, to receive your donations of non-perishable food items. No expired dates please. Thank you Food collected will be distributed to Campbell River households in need, and to our 2 women’s shelters. Last year nearly 600 POUNDS of canned and packaged goods was collected and distributed into the community. Here’s to another successful food drive lifestyle. MAY GOD BLESS BOTH GIVER AND RECEIVER OF THIS FOOD

THE BOTTLE DRIVE continues under the leadership of John McGillivary. The monies collected go to the parish account for the general needs of St. Patrick’s Church. The entire bottle drive crew would like to thank all the St. Patrick’s Parishioners for their support. Recycling continues on Saturdays from 10 AM - Noon November 1st - $361.50 Thank You!

Adoration of the Eucharist Every Wednesday after the 9:30 AM Mass until 8:00 PM “Be still and know that I am here.”

PRIVATE DEVOTION - Sunday Night Prayers - All are invited to Sunday Night Prayers beginning at 7 PM in the Sanctuary. The prayers are traditional and consist of the Rosary, Marian Prayers, Chaplet of Divine Mercy, hymns, and Litanies. Prayers last about 40 mins. All are welcome.
