Next week we come to celebrate two important days. Firstly, November 1, is our celebration of All Saints Day. On this day we come to venerate all the saints of Heaven who are known by name as well as those who go unknown by name. Through our veneration of these holy man and women may we also strive for the Kingdom of Heaven.
Secondly, we come to celebrate All Souls Day on November 2. Normally a priest would only be able to say a maximum of two Masses a day outside of a Sunday and holy day, but on this day Pope Benedict XV allows priests to say three Masses if they are offered for three specific intentions which he had assigned. Therefore this parish will have 5 opportunities for Mass: 7am, 8:30am, 1:30pm (in cemetery), 5pm (Extraordinary Form), and 7pm (Spanish). Let us never forget to pray for the souls of the faithful departed.
Lastly, please remember that we have our Drive Thru Trunk or Treat on October 30 from 6pm-7:30pm. For this event we need people who are willing to volunteer to decorate their trunk and hand out candy. If you would like to volunteer please email Danute Cline (clinenob2000@yahoo.com) OR Eileen Quesenberry (bubblyqmommy@gmail.com) by Wednesday, October 28. We are also taking candy donations from anyone who would like to drop bags of candy off at the parish to use during the event. Finally, we invite families to dress up and drive thru our trunk or treat on October 30.
In Christ,
Fr. Dustin Collins
