On November 2, All Souls day, the parish will celebrate Masses for All Souls at 8:00 AM and 7:00 PM. The parish invites the families and friends of those who have had a death this year to the 7:00 PM Mass.
In the month of November it is our tradition to pray for our beloved who have gone before us. The parish will have a “Book of Remembrance” for the faithful departed and the names of all those family members written in it will be remembered at all masses throughout November. Parishioners may add names of deceased family members or friends for whom they wish the parish to offer prayers during this season of remembrance.
On Wednesday, November 1st, All Saints day, Masses will be celebrated at 8:00 AM and 7:00 PM. All are welcome.
There will be a meeting to organize the Winter Welcome Table meal program on Monday, October 16 at 7:00 pm in the parish auditorium. All volunteers interested in helping are welcome.
We offer many thanks to all who worked so hard for a successful Fall Fair this year. There were many people who donated, worked and contributed to this success. Just as important to the success of the Fall Fair is the involvement of so many parish people and groups. Much gratitude is extended to all involved.
The parish office will be closed due to thanksgiving holiday on Monday, October 9. Mass will be celebrated at 10 AM in the Church and there will be no adoration on that day.
On Sunday, October 8th, following the 11:15 am Mass,
join us for a dessert themed Coffee Hour!
Come for coffee, a featured dessert, friendly conversations and family activities!
