DIA DE MUERTOS EN SAN IGNACIO! - DAY OF THE DEAD AT ST. IGNATIUS!
Join us on Sunday, October 31st after the Noon Mass to celebrate one of the most significant days of
Hispanic culture - The Day of the Dead. This tradition, which is celebrated throughout the Hispanic
world on November 2nd , dates back from centuries before the arrival of the Spanish conquistadors, and
consists of paying respect to the ancestors and those departed in a very religious and prayerful way. All
visible signs during the feast (flowers, candles, music and food) celebrate the life and the heritage of those
who helped us to become who we are. Following the traditions, our Hispanic community will build an
Altar de Muertos and will include a procession of people dressed in their traditional clothing outside the
church, if the weather allows. We hope you can join us in this enriching cultural event.

OUTREACH MINISTRIES
MOTHER CAROLINE ACADEMY NEEDS KNITTING NEEDLES!! We received an email
from a co-principal at Mother Caroline, asking if any of our parishioners might have any
knitting or crochet materials that they might be willing to donate to the school. Knitting
needles are at the top
of the list, as they are teaching the students to knit and many of them do not have their
own needles. If you can help out with this need, just bring the materials to the Rectory.
Thanks!
