Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, 
 
This weekend we celebrate the Solemnity of All Saints: The bulletin for this weekend, November 1, can be found here. Click here to access our livestreamed Masses. 
 
Clocks “Fall Back” Tonight: Remember to set your clocks back one hour tonight as Daylight Saving Time ends. 
 
All Saints Day and All Souls Day: Tomorrow, November 1, we celebrate the Solemnity of All Saints, honoring all those who are with God in Heaven and asking for their intercession. On Monday, November 2, we commemorate All Souls Day, when we remember and pray for all the faithful departed. Masses on Monday will be celebrated at 6:30 AM, 8:15 AM, and 7:00 PM. Although All Souls Day is not a Holy Day of Obligation, I encourage you to join us for Mass as we pray for the repose of the souls of our deceased loved ones and all the faithful departed. 
 
Book of the Names of the Dead: Throughout November, the month dedicated to praying for the faithful departed, our Book of the Names of the Dead will be displayed in the Narthex. I invite you to inscribe the names of your deceased loved ones in this book and to pause and pray for those whose names have been entered. This beautiful tradition reminds us that our prayers for the dead are more than an act of remembrance. They are an expression of our faith in the communion of saints and our hope in the Resurrection. 
Donut Sunday: What better way to celebrate the Solemnity of All Saints than with donuts and fellowship! Join parishioners tomorrow following the 8:00 AM and 10:00 AM Masses in Lower Level Room 3 for free donuts and coffee. 

Preparing Well: I hope you'll consider joining us for our upcoming Preparing Well series on Wednesdays, November 4 and 11, from 9:30–11:00 AM in Room LL3.
We've brought together a wonderful group of speakers for two important discussions focused on practical planning for the future and navigating difficult end-of-life decisions through the lens of our Catholic faith. Whether you're preparing for your own future or helping care for a loved one, these conversations offer an opportunity to gain valuable guidance, ask questions, and find peace of mind.

Be sure to see this weekend's bulletin for more details about each session. I encourage you to attend one or both discussions and invite a family member or friend to join you.

Preparing well is an act of faith and love.

 
Sacred Heart Congress Next Saturday: As we prepare to host the Sacred Heart Congress next Saturday, November 7, I want to personally invite you to join me. In the midst of our busy lives, we all need opportunities to step away and refocus our hearts on Christ. My hope is that this morning will be an opportunity for each of us to grow in our relationship with Jesus and experience more deeply the love of His Sacred Heart. Whether you have attended before or are considering it for the first time, I encourage you to come and invite someone to join you. Click here for more details and to register. Please take a moment to watch the video below for a special invitation. 

2025–2026 Year in Review: By now, you should have received our parish's annual Year in Review in the mail. I hope you will take some time to read through it and reflect on the many ways God has been at work in our parish this past year. In addition to highlighting our ministries, parish life, and financial stewardship, the report shares our three Areas of Focus for the year ahead: the Holy Mass, evangelical encounters, and strengthening for mission. 
I am deeply grateful for your generosity, prayers, and commitment to our mission of calling, forming, and sending disciples of Jesus Christ. None of this would be possible without you. Click here to view our 2025-2026 Year in Review. 
Our Sunday Offering: I am grateful to the many parishioners who regularly give of their time, talent, and treasure to support our parish community. I can tell you from my personal experience that WeShare Online Giving is an easy, secure, and convenient platform. You can give online anytime by clicking here. Thank you for your continued generosity and support!  
 
In Christ,
