Dear Parishioners,

 

The autumn weather has arrived, the leaves are turning colors and we are approaching the celebration of the liturgical feasts of the harvest.

 

The feasts of All Saints and All Souls are the days we celebrate as part of the communion of saints. We start with All Hallows Eve, commonly known as Halloween. On this day people dress up in costumes going from house to house for treats.

 

In our current situation I am proposing that we have trunk or treat in the parish parking lot on Halloween from 1:00pm- 3:00pm.

If you are willing to participate, please contact us at the rectory if you are willing to place a car in the lot. 

If we get enough cars to participate we will have the event.  Cars will be socially distant and you will be asked to have candy placed so that it is easily taken or given.

 

Sunday, November 1^st is All Saints Day, we celebrate the Saints who are not canonized, this day I ask you to bring a picture of your recently deceased and we will place it around the Book of Life for the month of November. Please put your name on it; the picture should be in a frame.

 

All Souls Day which is November 2, we continue to celebrate the celebration of the communion of saints. This day we pray for those souls whom are in purgatory. 

We will celebrate with masses the first week of November and a special mass on Monday, November 2 for those who died this year.  More information on this next week.

November 3 is Election Day please vote either in person or by mail. It is our right and obligation to vote.

 

Hope to see more of you in church or on-line.

 

God Bless!

Fr. Rich
