There will be a special collection this weekend for the Catholic Campaign for Human Development. Please be generous in your support.

The Catholic Campaign for Human Development is the national anti-poverty program of the U.S. Catholic Bishops, working to carry out the mission of Jesus Christ “… to bring glad tidings to the poor …  liberty to captives …  sight to the blind, and let the oppressed go free.” (Luke 4:18)

The belief that those who are directly affected by unjust systems and structures have the best insight into knowing how to change them is central to CCHD. CCHD works to break the cycle of poverty by helping low-income people participate in decisions that affect their lives, families and communities. CCHD offers a hand up, not a hand out.

Lucy Flores, the wife of Deacon Edgar Flores, captured this image during Adoration, and it certainly warrants a closer examination. Please direct your attention to the area situated midway between the crucifix and the monstrance.

There’s been open discussions on our Facebook post where many report seeing different things.

Our Book of Remembrance is in the back of church. During the month of November, you are invited to write in the names of loved ones who have died. They will be prayerfully remembered during the month.

A plenary indulgence is granted to the faithful, applicable only to the souls in purgatory, who, on any and each day from November 1 to 8, devoutly visit a cemetery and pray, if only mentally, for the departed; on All Soul’s Day (or according to the judgement of the ordinary, on the Sunday preceding or following it, or on the solemnity of All Saints) devoutly visit a church or an oratory and recite an Our Father and the Creed. To acquire a plenary indulgence, it is necessary to perform the work to which the indulgence is attached and to fulfill three conditions: sacramental confession, Eucharistic Communion and prayer for the intentions of the Supreme Pontiff. (Manual of Indulgences 29)

All Souls Day is November 2^nd.  If you would like to have remembrance prayers said for deceased loved ones or friends, please fill out the “All Souls” (November 2^nd) envelope provided in your offertory envelopes.  List the names on the back of the envelope.  You may place the envelopes in the collection.  There are extra envelopes in the back of church.  The envelopes will be kept on the altar for the month of November.

Thanksgiving will be celebrated on Thursday, November 27, 2025, and we are collecting food donations to help provide Thanksgiving dinners for families in need. If you’re able to give, please consider donating non-perishable food items from now until Sunday November 23. Every contribution helps make the holiday brighter for others. Thank you for your generosity and support!

A mass for All Saints Day will be held at 8:30 a.m. on November 1, 2025.
