Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
November is a very special month filled with many blessings. Today, November 1, is All Saints Day! You can celebrate the saints every day by taking time to learn about a new saint. Here you can find a list of November Feasts and Memorials. Tomorrow, November 2, is the Commemoration of all the Faithful Departed, or All Souls Day. It is a day to spend with family, sharing memories of loved ones. Take time to honor family traditions and even visit cemeteries.
The week of November 7-14 is "Vocations Week". Please take time to pray for our priests, deacons and religious and especially for everyone discerning their vocation. See the "November Events" section for special events this week.
Finally, November 28 is the first Sunday of the Advent season. We enter into a season of hope and celebrate by lighting the candles of the Advent wreath. Every week, we add to those lit the week before, and as the light grows brighter, our hope draws nearer.
Our team wishes you a very happy Liturgical New Year, a blessed Thanksgiving and a hope-filled Advent season! May God's Mercy and Peace be with you,
Cathy, Deacon Louie, Beth, Liliana, Andy, Erika, Cindy and Rosario
Please share this email with anyone and everyone!
Together let us build, unite and grow our Church.
