My Dear Friends in Christ,

November is almost here! 

Each year on November 1^st, the Church solemnly celebrates all saints.  The Catechism says a Saint is “The ‘holy one’ who leads a life in union with God through the grace of Christ and receives the reward of eternal life.” (CCC 823, 946, and 828) 

And on November 2^nd, the Church commemorates all those who have died and are now being purified and perfected before they enter into heaven. 

All believers, living and dead are a part of the Communion of Saints. The Catechism says, "We believe in the communion of all the faithful of Christ, those who are pilgrims on earth, the dead who are being purified, and the blessed in heaven, all together forming one Church; and we believe that in this communion, the merciful love of God and his saints is always [attentive] to our prayers" (CCC 962)

On Thursday,  November 1^st  Mass is at 7:30 AM and 7:00 PM

On Friday, November 2^nd, Mass is at 7:30 AM and 7:00 PM

During the entire month of November, we especially pray for our departed brothers and sisters. At the 10:00 AM Mass on Sunday, November 4^th, we will pray for all parishioners who have passed away since last November.  Family members and friends of deceased parishioners are cordially invited to attend.  This is an opportunity to remember your own deceased loved ones and show support for those parishioners who are recently bereaved.

On Thursday, November 22^nd we will commemorate our national holiday of Thanksgiving.  Thanksgiving Day Mass will be celebrated at 9:00 AM.
