Parish Workday
| This Saturday, October 27 - 8:30 am
This is our last chance to spruce up the grounds in preparation for Thanksgiving, Christmas and those winter months when we long to be outside.We'll be tending the flower beds and planting daffodil bulbs. If you'd like to donate bulbs, large bags of bulbs can be purchased at Pike's, Lowes or Home Depot for a very reasonable price. All donations of bulbs are gratefully appreciated. Last year we planted over 1000 and could use at least that amount again. |

Annual Requiem Mass for All Faithful Departed
| Wednesday, November 7 at 7:00 pm
The Solemnity of All Souls is the time which the Church sets apart to remember all the faithful departed we have loved and entrusted back to God's gracious care. The official date is November 2 each year; but we will observe All Souls' Day on Wednesday, November 7 at 7:00 p.m. It is traditional on All Souls' Day to pray for loved ones at a special Requiem Mass. For the printed bulletin, names need to be sent to Daniel Hahn no later than Monday, October 29 (click here). By tradition, a list of all those remembered at the All Souls' Mass is left on the Altar stone throughout the year as a symbol of our hope that we will one day stand again with those we have loved and entrusted back to God. Please set aside time in your schedules now and plan to attend this moving liturgy. A special thanks to our parish choir who have been working very hard preparing for both All Souls' Day as well as All Saints' Sunday. Note: our regular Wednesday Mass time is usually 6pm; for November 7th, Mass will be said at 7:00pm and reception follows. |
