Our next fellowship opportunity will be October 29th when we have our Trunk or Treat from 6pm-8pm. I thank our parish’s Mom Ministry for helping to organize this event. You can assist in one of two ways either (1) decorate your trunk or (2) bring candy that can be be used as extra candy for the decorated trunks. To register your trunk for the Trunk or Treat or to receive more information please call 423-282-6367.
Halloween is closely related to two important liturgical days which we cannot forget about. On November 1st will be All Saints Day which will not be a Holy Day of Obligation this year due to falling on a Monday. All Saints Day is a celebration of the triumph of the faithful who have gone before us and are now numbered among the saints. We will have Mass for All Saints Day at 7am, 8:30am, and 6pm (Latin). On November 2nd we observe All Souls Day which serves as a reminder of Purgatory and the need to pray for those who have gone before us in order that they may soon be numbered among the saints. We will have Mass for All Souls Day at 7am, 8:30am, 11:15am (cemetery), 5:30pm (Latin), and 7pm (Spanish).
In Christ,
Fr. Dustin Collins
