Prayer Intention: As we anticipate Thanksgiving next week, we pray for the strength to follow the example of Saint Elizabeth of Hungary and share what we have with those in need.
Today is the feast of Saint Elizabeth of Hungary. She lived in the early 1200’s. Her father was the King of Hungary, so Elizabeth grew up in a wealthy environment. However, she cared very much for the poor people of their country, so she dressed plainly, lived simply, and took bread to the poor every day. All of this frustrated her family who thought she was wasting the family fortune on the poor.
Today is a 3-bell day with a 1:45 assembly. Tomorrow is a 4-bell; Wednesday is a 3-bell with a 2:15 dismissal; Thursday is a 4-bell and Friday is a modified 7-bell shadow day.
