CONSECRATION OF THE ELECTION TO THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY
Mary Immaculate, living tabernacle of the Divinity, where the eternal Wisdom lies hidden to be adored and served by angels and men, Queen of heaven and of earth, beneath whose sway are subject all things that are lower than God, Patroness of the United States of America, sorrowful and mindful of our own sinfulness and the sins of our nation, we come to thee, our refuge and hope. Knowing that our country cannot be saved by our own works and mindful of how much our nation has departed from the ways of thy Son, we humbly ask that thou wouldst turn thine eyes upon our country to bring about its conversion. We consecrate to thee the integrity of the upcoming election and its outcome, so that what is spiritually and morally best for the citizens of our country may be accomplished, and that all of those who are elected would govern according to the spiritual and moral principles which will bring our nation into conformity with the teachings of thy Son. Give grace to the citizens of this land so that they will choose leaders according to the Sacred Heart of thy Son, that His glory may be made manifest, lest we be given the leaders we deserve. Trusting in the providential care of God the Father and thy maternal care, we have perfect confidence that thou wilst take care of us and will not leave us forsaken. O Mary Immaculate, pray for us. Amen

Bishop Senior has announced a collaboration with the Catholic Leadership Institute to envision our Diocesan path toward the future in a year-long study. This is the "Called for More" initiative. Parishioners aged 16 and above are requested to take a survey to help inform the diocese about parishioner perspectives. This can be found online at http://portal.catholicleaders.org/dmi/survey/b87k85. Anne Shepard is our parish's point of contact and can be reached at shepardprime@gmail.com or 717.765.0521.

The St Rita's Catholic Church Women's Society will sponsor bingo on Nov 10 at the Knights of Columbus Hall, 42 W 2nd St., Waynesboro. Doors will open at 11:30 am. Bingo begins at 1:00 pm. See Bulletin for more details. Must be age 18 and above to play bingo.

Book Club News: We had an amazing time together at the September 17 book club meeting, not only discussing incidents in the chosen book but sharing experiences that changed us spiritually. All concluded the session pleased and enriched. Going forward we will have one meeting for all to attend at 6:30pm rather than 2 separate sessions. The meetings will remain on Tuesdays and a date will be announced shortly for the November book club. We will discuss our new book, The Woman in the Trees. This is an account of the first Catholic Church-approved Marian apparition in America, in novel form. The protagonist is a pioneer woman in the Wisconsin forest just before the Civil War. Please contact Diane Robertson for a copy of the book, dianerobertson77@yahoo.com.

The St. Rita's Ladies Society will meet on Wednesday, November 13, at 10 am in the parish hall. All ladies are welcome.

Pastor's Note:
I ask you to continue your support through prayer for our Parish, our Diocese and our Country. I know these times are challenging, but I also ask for your continued financial support. Without your gifts, our Parish will struggle to continue our most basic functions. Thank you for your essential support. May God keep you safe, continue to bless you and your families, and keep us all in His loving care.

Sincerely yours in Christ,

Rev. Peter Di Tomasso, M. SS.CC.
Immaculate Conception BVM
