Attention Redner's Shoppers

All Saints will be participating in the Redner's Save-A-Tape Rewards Program. Please scan your rewards card or enter your phone number at checkout so that Save-A-Tape rewards appear near the bottom of the register tape. Register tapes can be placed in the boxes marked Redner's at the back of each church (All Saints and Our Lady of Lourdes). Redner's will mail a rewards check to the parish office upon submission of the Save-A-Tape receipts. The entire receipt is needed for the re-wards program; however, credit card information can be crossed out on the receipts.

Bingo

Next bingo will be at OLOL in Weatherly on Sunday, November 16 at 2PM. Doors will open at 12 noon. There will be a kitchen filled with delicious foods and desserts for sale. Come and join the fun! We have a few basket prizes at each bingo. Since we are so close to Thanksgiving at this bingo, we would like to give out turkey’s (gift certificates). If anyone could donate a few dollars towards this, it would be greatly appreciated. The donation could be dropped into the collection basket marked for the bingo or be brought to the Parish Center.

The McAdoo Bingos will definitely happen in 2026. We now have enough workers for the floor and the kitchen. We will set dates soon. Watch for future bulletins for those dates.

Parish Feast Day Celebration

Our feast day celebration will begin with 4PM mass on Satur-day, November 1 at All Saints in McAdoo. After mass, we will move to the school hall for dinner. Price for a ticket will be $20 for an adult, children ages 6-12 will be $12, and children 5 and under free. Tickets will be available after masses this weekend and next weekend only and at the Parish Center. At the affair, we will have a WINE PULL. Chances will be sold at the affair and the prize will be a good bottle of wine. We started to collect wine in the spring, so we have some bottles but are in need of more. There will be boxes in the back of each church if you could donate a good bottle of wine in the next 2 weeks.

Because We Are Catholic (BWAC)

This campaign was kicked off recently in our diocese. Funds raised through the Because We are Catholic Annual Appeal are directed to Community Services, Education, Vocations, and Parish Life programs and activities throughout the Diocese. The distribution of dollars, which are held in a Trust that is restricted for these purposes, is monitored by a group of volunteer Trust Advisors who represent parish communities in Berks, Carbon, Lehigh, Northampton, and Schuylkill Counties. Our Catholic family of faith in the Diocese of Allentown is committed to helping those in our community who are most in need. Your support of the Annual Appeal helps to ensure that you, your loved ones, your neighbors, and your co-workers have help when it is needed. Your gift is an outward sign of your faith in God and the work of His Church. There are envelopes in the back of the church in which you could make your donation and then drop it into the collection basket or you could send your contribution directly to the diocese at the address below. You can also donate on line through the Diocese of Allentown website-Click here to visit the website.
