NO RELIGIOUS ED THIS WEEK!
Happy Halloween October 31,
and
Happy Feast of All Saint November 1!
|
|
There will be NO RELIGIOUS ED this week due to All Hallow's Eve, and All Saints Day!
Thank you for making All Saints Day Mass a priority with your children on Thursday, November 1st. Mass times are: Wednesday at 4:00 pm (Vigil Mass), All Saints Day (Holy Day of Obligation) Thursday at 6:40 am; 8:15 am; 12:00 Noon; and 6:00 pm.
And did you know...
All Soul's Day is Friday, November 2nd
: The Commemoration of All Faithful Departed (All Souls’ Day).
It is a Spiritual Work of Mercy to pray for the living and the dead.
You can find a great discussion about praying for the dead in the Bible, in Maccabees chapter 12, which concludes about the prayers of Judas Maccabeus for the sins of his fallen soldiers: “Thus he made atonement for the dead that they might be absolved from their sin..”(2 Macc. 12:46).

PARENT OPPORTUNITY - HOLINESS 101
Wednesday Evenings, 7-8:30pm
October 17, 24, 31, November 7 and 14
Located in Fr. Porter Hall (Church Basement)
Parents, our RCIA Director Luke Doyle will be presenting a 5-week series on Holiness 101. We would love to see you at some of these sessions while your student is at EDGE.
We hear a lot about our call to holiness in the Catholic Church, but what exactly IS holiness, why should we want it, and how do we grow in it? This class will explain the call to sanctity while equipping you with practical steps from Jesus and the saints to help you better understand how you can grow into the best (and holiest) version of yourself! Holiness should be the main goal of our lives, but how many of us recognize this truth and are willing to devote our entire existence to the pursuit of it? Join us to reflect, pray, and learn more about this path to true and lasting happiness!

PRAYER TO MEMORIZE AT HOME
Have you noticed that we are praying the St. Michael the Archangel Prayer after every Parish Mass now? This is at the request of Archbishop Naumann, and many other US Bishops. Please continue to work on this prayer at home with your children.
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle!
be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,
And do thou, oh Prince of the Heavenly Hosts,
By the power of God,
thrust into hell, Satan, and all the evil spirits,
who prowl about the world, seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen!
