I thank all those who have or are serving our country in the armed forces. As a Church we continue to pray for you and all that you do to serve our country. Next Sunday, November 10, we will hold the Green Mass for all veterans at the 10am Mass.
Throughout the month of November we are reminded of the certainty of death. Some saints would even go as far as to keep a skull upon their desk to remind of this inescapable reality. In our gathering area we currently have many photos of loved ones who have now gone before us into life eternal. It is my hope that we will continue to pray and offer our sacrifices for them.
As we continue to move towards the end of the liturgical season we will quickly find ourself in the Advent season. Very soon you will start to find information on various liturgies throughout Advent, but I would like to make the parish aware of our parish Advent retreat which has been scheduled for December 7 and will be led by me. This will begin shortly following our 8:30am Mass and conclude around lunch time. More information on this retreat will be given in the future.
In Christ,
Fr. Dustin Collins
