altars of the church. In order to provide some variety in
items being collected, here are some suggestions. Those

OLV Harvest- Dozynki Mass
November 23rd – 11am Mass
Please join us for the Harvest - Dozynki Mass, an Our Lady
of the Valley tradition which originates from a Polish
celebration thanking God for the fruits of the harvest. The
Harvest Mass takes place during the Thanksgiving season
as we are thanking God for all of our blessings. It also
marks the conclusion of the Thanksgiving Food Drive which
is taking place throughout all of November at the side
altars. As part of tradition, the harvesters are always
dressed in their regional dress. We are a parish
representing many nations and encourage all of you to
dress in the costume of your heritage. If you wish to do so,
please meet the Liturgy Committee members at the back of
the church at 10:45am prior to the 11 AM Mass on Sunday,
November 23rd. Those dressed in costumes of their
heritage will participate in the entrance processional
carrying the harvest wreath made of grains and flowers. If
you have any questions, please, call Bozena Dabek at
413-210-0020.

THE DEDICATION OF THE LATERAN BASILICA
Catholic Night Adult Ed. Divine Mercy
101 - Thursday Nov. 13, 6:30-8:00/Parish
Hall. As we look around the world today, we
may ask ourselves if there has ever been a
greater need for God's mercy. Wars, violence,
lies, manipulation, and out of control selfishness
seem to dominate the world. But, as always, God has a
plan. He is drenching the world in His mercy, if only we will
turn to him. Join Father Doug and fellow parishioners to
learn the basics about “Divine Mercy” in our DVD
presentation this week.

A little boy opened the big and old family Bible
with fascination, and looked at the old pages
as he turned them. Suddenly, something fell
out of the Bible, and he picked it up and
looked at it closely. It was a leaf from a tree that had been
pressed in between the pages. “Mommy, look what I
found,” the boy called out. “What have you got there,
dear? His mother replied. With astonishment in the young
boy’s voice, he answered: “I think it’s Adam’s suit!”
