In the month of November it is our tradition to pray for our beloved. 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 November 2, All Souls day the parish will have Mass for All Souls at 12 Noon in the Church. The regular Sunday vigil Mass would be at 5 PM

On November 1, All Saints day, being the First Friday, as usual we will have Masses both at 8 am and 7 pm.
