November is the month in which we pray for and remember in a special way the faithful departed. Our annual Memorial Service for those buried from our parish in the past year is usually celebrated on the evening of November 2, All Souls’ Day. As November 2 was on Saturday this year, we will be celebrating this year’s service on Monday evening, November 4, at 7:00. This is an opportunity for the entire parish to come together to support members grieving the recent loss of a loved one. Please plan on joining us. We will be praying for 100 departed loved ones.
We also remind you to enter the names of your own departed loved ones in the Book of Life which will be placed near the baptismal pool throughout the month.
As you may have noticed we are in the need of parishioners to serve in our liturgical ministries: Lectors, Eucharistic ministers, Ushers, Mass Servers, Music Ministry, etc. If you are interested in joining any of these ministries please contact me at the parish office.
Mark your calendar: Our parish mission on the Holy Eucharist will be December 8 through Dec. 11th. There will be sessions after morning Mass on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, and in the evenings. Stay tuned for the entire schedule.
Blessings,
Fr. Ron
