Sunday – November 1, 2015 All Saints Day “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” (MATTHEW 5:3) “Poor in spirit” is confusing for many of us. It simply means to place your trust in God, putting His will first and being strong in faith. As we celebrate the lives of the saints on All Saints Day, remember, we, too are called to be saints. Dialing down our own pride and ego and turning up the humility will help us on our path to sainthood.

Herald Joseph Block, CFR, of the Fransican Friars of the Renewal, to inaugurate and celebrate beginning of the Jubilee Year of Mercy as called for by Pope Francis starting on December 8 – the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception. The theme of the Parish Mission will be Mercy. A forthcoming schedule of the retreat will be made available as we get closer to the date. During this Parish Mission, Fr Brock will also share with us ways that we can support and assist the Fransican Mission Outreach’s Christmas Cameroon Heart Surgery Sponsorship Effort. Please bring members of your family, friends, neighbors to what I am sure will be a graced and prayerful time for our parish family. A Note from Fr. Damian: From time to time parishioners ask me for opportunities to memorialize their loved ones with items needed for the altar and sanctuary appointments. In truth of fact, many of the objects on or near the altar have been donated or acquired through this generosity in most churches. This ancient practice of making an offering of religious item in memory of a loved one incorporates the desire to prayer for the deceased at all times in the sacred worship of the parish church, to render the memory of their beloved to a holy object to be used for divine service; thus associating the individual as close as possible to action and prayer of the Holy Mass. In doing so Christians seek to perform a work of love and sacrifice on behalf of their loved one while dedicating their name, and one’s affection for them, in the form of vestment, religious vessel or object, or another item to be used exclusively in the prayer and worship of Almighty God. If anyone desires such a memorial please see Fr. Damian for such opportunities. Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament November 6, 2015 3:00 p.m.-7:30 p.m. Confessions 6:15-7:00 p.m. Benediction following Adoration 7:30 p.m. A Holy Hour in front of the Blessed Sacrament is worth more than a thousand years of human glory. (St. Padre Pio) November 2, 2015 – All Souls Day WE REMEMBER May they rest in peace.
