The month of November is upon us, and that means the celebrations of ALL SAINTS and ALL SOULS.
On Monday, November 1, we will have one Mass at 7PM in the church to celebrate the Solemnity of All Saints. This year, because the solemnity falls on a Monday, it is not a holy day of obligation.
On Tuesday, November 2, we will have two Masses.
9:00 AM in the Church
- Feel free to bring framed pictures of loved ones to be placed on tables in the sanctuary. Please collect them after Mass concludes.
7:00 PM in the Cemetery
- We will celebrate Mass in the Greenview Cemetery, which is the northernmost part of the Greensboro City Cemetery (see directions below).
- Following Mass there will be a Eucharistic Procession and bilingual rosary through the cemetery.
- Be sure to wear comfortable walking shoes and a sweater/coat depending on weather forecast.
- Each person will be given a procession candle, but feel free to also bring a flashlight.
Directions to Greenview Cemetery:

Take Hwy 44 north to downtown Greensboro.
Turn RIGHT on Broad Street

31st Sunday in Ordinary Time
“And ‘to love him with all your heart, with all your understanding, with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself’ is worth more than all the burnt offerings and sacrifices.” (Mark 12:33)
Of all the gifts that God gives us, the one He wants the most is our heart. He wants us to share out of our love for Him, not out of obligation. Using our talent in parish ministry and contributing money to support our parish mission is important, but it’s more important to spend time in prayer with God daily and discern how He is calling us to be generous with all of our gifts. Not just the visible ones, but the invisible ones like love, mercy and forgiveness.

“…the purpose of this Synod, and therefore of this consultation, is not to produce documents, but to ‘plant dreams, draw forth prophesies and visions, allow hope to flourish, inspire trust, bind up wounds, weave together relationships, awaken a dawn of hope, learn from one another and create a bright resourcefulness that will enlighten minds, warm hearts, give strength to our hands’” (Preparatory Document, 32). |

INTERCESSORY PRAYER RETREAT

AFTERNOON SESSION RECORDING OF
INTERCESSORY PRAYER RETREAT

October is Respect Life Month and the headlines read:
1. The ‘Equality Act’ has been passed by the House on 2/25/2021. This legislation is aimed at denying the fundamental differences between men and women.
2. The ‘Women’s Health Protection Act’ has also been passed by the House. This legislation would allow for unlimited taxpayer funded abortion nationwide.
3. A Federal Judge, at the request of the Biden administrations’ Justice Department, has blocked the enforcement of Texas recently passed pro- life law restricting abortion once a child’s heart beat can be detected. Coincidently, abortion rights activists in the State claim: Planned Parenthood said the number of patients decreased by nearly 80% in the first two weeks after the legislation took effect.
The picture is not pretty. Many of us (270) signed the letter to the Pope last weekend encouraging him to take Biden to task regarding his stance on abortion. This is great. What else can we do? Simple, we need to pray. We need to pray to St. Joseph as our model for 2021 Respect Life Month.

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS FIFTH SUNDAY ROSARY PROGRAM

Please join us Sunday, October 31st at 8:30 am prior to the 9:00 am Mass. The time for praying the Rosary will conclude at 8:50 am.

We want to thank all the parishioners who made the Red Cross Blood Drive on October 14 a great success, given all the Red Cross protocols providing donor safety. We collected 110 pints of blood from parishioners and the community at large which will be instrumental in saving many lives.
Please put May 19, 2022 in your calendar as our next Blood Drive.

The World Needs More Knights!
Founded on the principles of Charity, Unity and Fraternity, the Knights of Columbus was established in 1882 by Blessed Father Michael J. McGivney. Today there are 1.9 million Knights worldwide, and we are looking for a few more to join the 190 Brothers in our Council 13808 here at COKAS.
To that end, we will be hosting an Exemplification of Full Knighthood on Wednesday December 1st at 7PM in the Sanctuary. This is an opportunity for men of our parish to join our ranks and for existing Brothers to become Full Knights. For more information on this Ceremony and becoming a Knight please contact our Membership Director, Rich Bartolotta, at 203 571 8915 or rich.bartolotta1@gmail.com

Pope Francis’ Prayer to Saint Joseph
Hail, Guardian of the Redeemer,
Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary. To you God entrusted his only Son; in you Mary placed her trust; with you Christ became man.
Blessed Joseph, to us too,
show yourself a father
and guide us in the path of life.
Obtain for us grace, mercy and courage,
and defend us from every evil. Amen.
