This past weekend our food pantry joined with Catholic Charities and were able to distribute 790 cases of food and 790 gallons of milk. A big thank you to the 15 adults and 18 youth of our parish community who came together to give service at this event.
Please remember that tomorrow, November 2, is All Souls Day. There will be 5 opportunities for Mass that day at our parish: 7am, 8:30am, 1:30pm (In Catholic section of Monte Vista Cemetery behind Church), 5pm (Extraordinary Form), and 7pm (Spanish). During the whole month of November there are opportunities to receive a plenary indulgence if you visit and pray in a cemetery for the souls of the faithful departed. One may also receive a plenary indulgence if the go to a church and pray an “Our Father” and “Creed” for the faithful departed. Normally, these indulgences are limited to November 2-8, but due to COVID-19 have been extended to the whole month of November. Besides the assigned task one should also go to confession, receive communion, and pray for the intentions of the Holy Father.
Lastly, please remember that we will have our next Parish Open Forum via Zoom on November 16 from 6:30pm-7:30pm. It is my hope that members of our parish community will attend these if they have a concern or not. The purpose of these is to foster community as we discern life in the parish.
In Christ,
Fr. Dustin Collins
