O God our Father, in Jesus you call all Christian families and homes to be signs of living faith. By the light of the Holy Spirit, lead us to be thankful for the gift of faith, and by that gift may we grow in our relationship with Jesus, your Son, and be confident witnesses to Christian hope and joy to all we meet. In the name of Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
Michelle McGinley
Director of Campus Ministry
October is the month of the Rosary. The best way to celebrate the month is to pray the Rosary.

Drama Club Happenings!
Play A Starring Role
Mark your calendars!!! The Bishop England Drama Club will present an evening of Murder and Mayhem as the BE Players take the stage in their production of "Rehearsal for Murder." Please join us at the BE Performing Arts Center on November 8 & 9 at 7PM and be ready to solve the mystery. BE's stellar cast includes Sam Lawton, Beth Dutour, Hannah Warren, Lara Brooksbank, Logan Stich, Mollie Johnson, Dalton Hester, Cal Schaafsma, Corey Clancy, Robert Seney, Donovan Thompson, Ashley Devaney, Nicole Loftis, and many others.
When his leading lady (and fiancée) Monica Welles (Beth Dutour) is found dead from an apparent suicide after the opening night of her Broadway stage debut, playwright Alex Dennison (Sam Lawton) is left heartbroken. On the first anniversary of her death, he gathers the cast and crew from that ill-fated night in the same Broadway theater, ostensibly to read a new play he is working on, a mystery in which a famous actress is killed. As the reading progresses, the scenes seem to the cast to be uncomfortably close to actual encounters they might have had with Monica.
Let's have a stellar turnout when Bishop England premiers Murder Mystery
