THANKSGIVING FOOD DRIVE – UPDATE
We will be collecting canned goods and donations until November 18th. We ask that each student donate 5 canned goods or the cash equivalent. Student Council will have representatives checking Home Rooms every day for donations. There may also be special incentives for those students who donate10 cans or more.
UPDATE: Our Thanksgiving food drive is going better than expected, we’ve already had to empty our containers to make room for more food! We want to make sure our own community is fed before we send our donations to surrounding parishes. If you or your family is in need of food donations this season, please reach out so we can help. We assure you any assistance will be kept in strict confidence.

Gloucester Catholic Celebrates Feast of All Souls
REMINDER — Feast of All Souls in November: Please Send Us Your Names for Remembrance
Dear GC Alumni/ Benefactors/Friends/Guardians/Parents/Staff/ Students/Teachers:
In the Catholic Church, the month of November has traditionally been dedicated to pray for the dead. The book of Maccabees reminds us that “it is a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead.”

We invite you to send any names you would like to be included in the same Masses, prayers and devotions during November. Please send your intentions to rorain@gchsrams.org to be included in our remembrance.
Thank you and God bless,
Fr. Renante V. Orain, AM
