CAPITAL CAMPAIGN 70 years takes its toll
and these are the vital projects required: Replacement of roofing
Kitchen replacement and expansion Comprehensive exterior renovation
Construction of new rectory The Capital Campaign for Our Lady of the Mountains seeks
pledges of five years or less to replace the roof, create the new kitchen, do exterior repairs and build a new rectory.
Gifts can be accepted in a variety of forms, with an emphasis on those that can be used immediately.
Your support is vital. Campaign Envelopes are in pews.
Internet fraudsters have been scamming parishioners by sending emails
and text messages which appear to come from parish priest asking for
help by purchasing gift cards and sending the pin number on the back of
the card. Neither the pastor nor any member of the staff will ever make
this request.
If you receive this type of email immediately contact the local police as
well as the Federal Trade Commission at ftccomplaintassistant.gov
and click the link to chat with a technical support specialist.
Please patronize our advertisers. They make the bulletin possible.

Mission Statement
"Our Lady of the Mountains Parish is one family
fed by the Body of Christ, the Eucharist.
Our mission is to become the image of God to one
another through the practice of our faith and
offering hospitality to all."
Only the Heart of Christ who
knows the depths of His Father's love
could reveal to us the abyss of His mercy in so
simple and beautiful a way -
---From the Catechism.

Prayer for the Dead
(The St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology)
In your hands, O Lord, we humbly entrust our
brothers and sisters. In this life you embraced
them with your tender love; deliver them now
from every evil and bid them eternal rest.
The old order has passed away: welcome them
into paradise, where there will be no sorrow, no
weeping or pain, but fullness of peace and joy
with your Son and the Holy Spirit forever and
forever. Amen.

21 November 2020 The celebration of World
Day of Cloistered Life—
traditionally known as Pro
Orantibus Day (“for those
who pray”)—highlights those
women and men who freely
dedicate themselves to hidden
lives of prayer and penance.
In this way, these chosen souls “serve the God of the living” by wit-
nessing to the world the eschatological reality of the Kingdom al-
ready but not yet. Their lives boldly testify to “the coming age”
where everything will be united to God in an eternal and everlasting
embrace. The Memorial of the Presentation of Mary reminds us that
as a young girl, Our Lady dedicated herself to the service of God in
the Temple. By means of continual prayer and selfless service, she
offered herself as a gift so that God’s plan of salvation might later be
made manifest by her unconditional “Yes” when asked to become the
Mother of the Redeemer. Today, let us pray for all those women
and men who have lovingly embrace the cloistered and monastic
life. May they continually give of themselves by contemplative lives
marked with silence and solitude, generosity and grace. Let us also
beg the Lord of the Harvest to inspire many more young people to
respond to this sublime calling so that the Kingdom may indeed
begin here on earth and be fulfilled in the life to come.
ENGRAVED BRICKS AND PAVERS
STAINED GLASS WINDOWS MEMORIAL
CAPITAL CAMPAIGN OPPORTUNITIES
The continuation of our Capital Campaign offers the opportunity for memorials
recognizing family, friends, loved ones, and special occasions and events, while contributing
to the preservation and improvement of our Church.
The recently completed expansion at the main entry of our Church, provides an area for placement of
engraved bricks and pavers. Options include laser engraved bricks or personalized engraved red sand-
stone pavers for inclusion in a prominent setting at the entrance to our Church.
Please contact Joe Miranda at [email protected] for more information on the bricks
and Tony Fink at [email protected] for more information on the pavers.
There are unlimited options for memorials with the stained glass windows. Memorials are available in
the Brass Stained Glass Recognition Book in the Upper Center for the existing windows in the Nave of
our Church depicting Evangelists Luke, Mark and Matthew. This same recognition can be acquired for
the new St. Francis window to be located in the entrance to the Nave, and for a general donation to the
stained glass. An engraved brass plaque will recognize sponsors of the new
windows to be located in our Church’s Divine Mercy Wing. The windows represent The Last
Supper, The Agony in the Garden, The Scourging at the Pillar, The Crowning with Thorns, The
Carrying of the Cross, The Crucifixion and Jesus Laid in the Tomb; all representing Jesus’s life and his
love and mercy for us. The Scourging at the Pillar and The Crowning with Thorns are still
available to be sponsored. Please contact Fran Grooters at [email protected]
for more information on the stained glass options.
These memorial projects for parishioners and visitors will become a part of our Church history,
and a lasting tribute for loved ones in inspirational and distinct settings.
Donor brochures and order forms are available outside our Church office.
