PASTOR'S PAGE
Dear Christ Our King and Savior Parish Family,

The celebrations of All Saints and All Souls were a tremendous success! The Masses were all well-attended and beautifully celebrated! I would like to thank a few people for their tremendous support in making it all happen:

Thank you to our choirs for the beauty and joy they brought for the bilingual Mass! Thank you to Donna Belsford, Peter Faletti, Angel Monroy, and all the members of both choirs for an outstanding job!

Thank you to the team of decorators who transformed the sanctuary multiple times to add such beauty and tradition to our celebrations! Thank you Isabel Jimenez, Claudette Coletta, Ismael Acosta, Juan Carlos Jimenez, and your teams!  

Thank you to my crew who helped with the bilingual slides on the TVs! Thank you John Steadman, Millie Browning, and Lily Vaughn!  

Thank you to Beth Mappes for organizing the Halloween Trunk-or-Treat! We had well over 100 kids who came and had a great time.

And thank you to the whole parish who came to celebrate the Saints and to pray for the deceased. Your faith and participation is an inspiration to me and I want you to know that I am grateful.

We have one more big celebration coming up before we go full throttle on Advent and Christmas preparations...OUR PARISH FEAST DAY...Christ, the King of the Universe on Sunday, November 25th. I'd like to give something new a try here as well.

On that Sunday, we will have a normal Mass schedule, and I'd like to continue the tradition of ending Mass with a Eucharistic Procession. But in the evening, I'd like to invite everyone back to the church for a celebration of Vespers, the official Evening Prayer of the Church, followed by a potluck dinner in the Social Hall to celebrate our feast day.

You'll see more information about this event and a sign-up to participate in the potluck dinner soon. Our faith is one to be practiced, for sure, but also one to be celebrated.

God bless you all.

In Christ,
Fr. Michael
Parochial Administrator
