Celebrating All Saints' Day and Remembering Our Loved Ones
As we enter November, the Church invites us to remember the saints who have gone before us and pray for our beloved deceased. Our parish will mark these special days with two meaningful celebrations, and we warmly invite everyone to participate.
All Saints Day:
Dress as Your Favorite Saint!
November 1 is All Saints Day, a joyful celebration honoring all the saints who followed Christ faithfully and now rejoice with Him in heaven. The saints remind us that each of us is called to holiness through lives of faith, love, prayer, and service.
To make this celebration especially memorable for our children, we invite all children to dress as their favorite Catholic Saint and join us for 9:30 a.m. Mass on November 1. This is a fun and meaningful way for children to learn about the saints and share their enthusiasm for the holy men and women who inspire us by their lives. We look forward to welcoming all our young saints!
Mass of Remembrance:
November 2 at 7:00 p.m.
Our parish will celebrate a special Mass of Remembrance on November 2 at 7:00 p.m. We invite parishioners to join us as we prayerfully remember family members, friends, and loved ones who have gone before us.
During November, parishioners are encouraged to bring photographs of their deceased loved ones to be displayed on altercitos until the weekend of November 21st and 22nd. Please write your name and contact number on the back of each photograph so that it can be safely returned to you afterward.
This special Mass allows us to come together as a parish family, pray for those who have died, support those who mourn, and renew our Christian hope in the promise of eternal life.
Please join us for these beautiful celebrations of faith, remembrance, and hope.
