29th Sunday of Ordinary Time - World Mission Sunday

Dear Parishioners;

          Today is WORLD MISSION SUNDAY. The theme this year is “Together with young people, let us bring the Gospel to all.” In his 2018 message, Pope Francis reminds us that “we are not in this world by our own choice,” and hence there is “an initiative that  precedes us and makes us exist.” Pope Francis says, “each one of us is called to reflect on the fact that ‘I am a mission on this Earth,’ which is why we are here in this world.” By our prayers and financial support, mission priests, religious Sisters and Brothers as well
as lay catechists are Christ’s witnesses to a world so in need of His healing love and peace.
            The second collection today is for WORLD MISSION SUNDAY.

            Monday, October 22 ^nd is the First Reconciliation Parent Seminar.  The meeting begins at 7:00 P.M. in church.  At least one parent/guardian needs to attend.

            The second collection next weekend, October 27-28, will be for the Church Roof.

            The Solemnity of All Saints, a holy day of obligation will be on Thursday, November 1 ^st.  The Vigil Mass will be on Wednesday, October 31 at 5:00 P.M.  Masses on All Saints Day will be at 6:30 A.M., 10:00 A.M., and 7:00 P.M.
