Sunday, November 1
Solemnity of All Saints
"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven. Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the land. Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied. Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. Blessed are the clean of heart, for they will see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you and utter every kind of evil against you falsely because of me. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be great in heaven"
~Matthew 5

Dear Parishioners and Friends,
This Sunday falls on November 1st, the Feast of All Saints. We rejoice with the Saints who were ordinary people but became courageous witnesses of faith. We can ask them to intercede for us and to help us on our own journey.
On Monday, November 2nd, we will have our regular weekday noon Mass at Christ the King commemorating All Souls. Later in the day, at 7:00 pm, we will have a Mass of Remembrance, also at Christ the King, as we read the names of the departed from funerals we have had at Saint Kateri parish in the last year. We will also include additional names the deceased that are submitted to us.
Eternal rest, grant to them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace. Amen.
May Gods bless you this week!
Fr. Gonyo
