MANNA
During the holiday season there is a run on MANNA, our local Conejo Valley Center, for help. Please consider helping MANNA help others. Deacon Al Caffrey gave us such an example of Christian giving and caring for others. Not only by working at MANNA handing and sorting food stuffs, but also by going around collecting almost daily for MANNA and his other charities (Dolores Mission, Los Angeles Catholic Worker, the two AIDS hospices established by Mother Teresa, the Sisters of the Divine Master and their inner city care for the poor, and the AIDS center for mothers and their children near Dodger Stadium).
MANNA needs all kinds of items, but please NO glass containers. Plastic, cans and paper are fine, but no glass. Needed are canned vegetables and fruits, canned soups and juices, canned meats and meals, canned sauces such as prepared marinara, dry meal mixes, dry cereal, pasta, rice, pancake and biscuit mixes, crackers, dry drink mixes including powdered milk. Condiments too are needed in small plastic or paper containers such as catsup, mustard, salt, pepper, salad and cooking oil, vinegar, and simple spices.
Hygienic items are also needed such as body and laundry soap, personal hygiene and health care items (toothbrushes and paste, combs, deodorant, etc.).
In addition, baby items are needed such aS disposable diapers, baby blankets, baby foods, and baby health care items.
Please bring your MANNA donations to church with you next Sunday or Thanksgiving Day, or you may also drop them by the Pastoral Center.
Do remember: NO glass containers.

About 20 helpers are needed each month for this project. The food is prepared at home and brought to St. Jude's and transported to the host church where the dinners are served. Those who wish to help serve are very welcome! We are scheduled to provide meals on the first Friday of four consecutive months starting in December.
If you travel and collect the soaps and shampoos from the hotels they are needed for this program.
SANDWICHES FOR IMPACTO AND
LAS FAMILIAS DEL PUEBLO
Sandwiches for the children at Impacto and Las Familias del Pueblo in Los Angeles will be made on Monday, November 20th, at 10:00 a.m. in the parish hall. The love gifts for this month are puzzles and playing cards.
The Sisters Disciples of the Divine Master also need your help. Non-perishable groceries and personal hygiene products would be appreciated. If you are willing to help with these important charities, please call Arline LaPorte at 805 496-6345.
Thank you for your loving concern!!!

ECUMENICAL PRAYERS FOR PEACE
In the Land of Three Faiths
On Tuesday, October 17th, the Conejo Valley Ecumenical Ministerial Association adopted a resolution to pray and work for peace in the Land of Three Major Faiths: Jews, Christians and Muslims. They also asked that all in the Conejo Valley join with them and others throughout the world praying and working for this peace.
All the members promised to ask their congregations to pray each week, if not daily, for a true and a lasting peace to come to this Most Holy Land. Each religious community will conduct their own special prayers each week during their regular services. In addition, the Annual Ecumenical Prayer Service the Wednesday evening before Thanksgiving will be centered around peace coming to this Land of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. This Land which saw so many Prophets and People of God. This Land that was the home of Jesus. Praying that the descendants of the sons of Abraham: "Isaac" the father of the Jewish people, and "Ishmael" the father of the Arabic people, may be helped to live in peace as sisters and brothers, along with their Christian and other neighbors.
All living in the Conejo Valley are invited to join in this endeavor of peace. In whatever way you might know and worship God, turn to Him and pray for peace. And then come and join with your neighbors in the Ecumenical Thanksgiving Prayer Service on Wednesday evening, November 23rd, at St. Maximillian Kolbe Catholic Community on the corner of Lindero Canyon and Kanan Roads at 7:30 p.m.
Refreshments and fellowship will follow the Ecumenical Prayer Service.

The lunches are being made by the seventh and eighth grade school children and "Mommy and Me." Many thanks to these two groups for the especially nutritious lunches they make.
Volunteers are needed for the dinners and breakfasts. Breakfast consists of juice, milk, cereal, sweet rolls and/or bagels. The dinners are made of up of 4 salads 4 desserts, 4 vegetables and 4 entrees - each large enough to feed 10 people.
