Day one is tomorrow October 22nd.  Here is a link: (link to day one) A link to the entire novena: (link to Respect Live Novena--all 9 days) .

 Thank you so much to the Knights of Columbus John Clare Council 15485 for your generous donation of children's coats and the $500 check to the Francis Center. We deeply appreciate your continued support of our community and those we serve.  We had a great visit with Paul this morning.  He got to meet with our clothing coordinator Josette who gave Paul the "grand" tour of Francis Center. Please forward this email to Paul to convey our appreciation.  I didn't have his email address. In gratitude and may God bless the work you do, Rudy Grigar Francis Center Director
