My Dear Brothers and Sisters,
The month of November is the last month of the liturgical year for us Catholics. It is called the Month of Remembrance, because during November we honor our deceased loved ones. The credenzas in the church are decorated with their pictures. Their names are inscribed in the Book of Remembrance. The Month of Remembrance begins this Saturday evening at 5:00 p.m. with a special Mass of Remembrance. During the Mass the names of our deceased loved ones are read aloud while votive candles are lit in their memory. Please call the Parish Office and give us the names of your loved ones that you wish to have honored during Mass. When you join us for Mass on Saturday, please remember to bring pictures of your loved ones to place on one of the credenzas and inscribe their names in the Book of Remembrance. Together we will offer to God prayers of thanksgiving and support each other with the blessed assurance rooted in our faith that one day we will be with our loved ones once again!
Love,
Fr. Leo
