Please join us in a novena for our country. PRAYER FOR AMERICA NOVENA (October 26-November 3)... O Blessed Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, We praise You for Your Goodness. We thank You for Your mercy. We ask forgiveness for our offenses against You. We seek Your loving care for all our needs and requests. You have blessed our nation, and given us countless gifts. Our freedom and the ability to seek Your will every day are among our dearest possessions. But in turning away from You, we not only risk the loss of all our country has stood for, but we also offend You, who are all good and deserving of all our love. We ask that You hear us, and through Your fathomless mercy, convert the hearts of our people and bring them back to You. May our land once more ring out with praise of You and the most loving Virgin Mary, to whom we have entrusted the petitions in this novena. Most Holy God, we thank You for hearing us. May our hearts praise You forevermore. Amen.

SAINT NICHOLAS PARISH WALNUTPORT INTRODUCING: FLOCKNOTE What is Flocknote? Flocknote is a service to church’s to provide better and faster com- munication to members. Why is St. Nicholas using this?... Your parish cares about you. Because we care about you, we want to communicate more easily and effectively with you (and be able to get your feedback too). During the recent pandemic shutdown, it has become ap- parent that we need to make better use of modern communications to stay in touch. Using Flocknote will allow us to easily send you the information you care about most via email and text message, and gives you the ability to give essential feedback, too! Am I "in for good" if I sign up? Nope! The nice thing about this great service from the church is that it's always free, and you can unsubscribe at any time. Is my information secure? Yes. All of your data is transmitted across an encrypted internet connection, and all of your personal information is stored in secure databases.
