All Saints Day.
On November 1st we will celebrate All Saints Day. This is a Holy Day of Obligation and the morning Masses will be: 6:30, 8:30 and 10:30. The evening Mass will be at 6:00 PM. Please note that we will not have a vigil Mass for any of the Holydays
A Little History of All Saints Day
All Saints Day is a surprisingly old feast. It arose out of the Christian tradition of celebrating the martyrdom of saints on the anniversary of their martyrdom. When martyrdoms increased during the persecutions of the late Roman Empire, local dioceses instituted a common feast day in order to ensure that all martyrs, known and unknown, were properly honored.
The current date of November 1 was instituted by Pope Gregory III (731-741), when he consecrated a chapel to all the martyrs in Saint Peter's Basilica in Rome. Gregory ordered his priests to celebrate the Feast of All Saints annually. This celebration was originally confined to the diocese of Rome, but Pope Gregory IV (827-844) extended the feast to the entire Church and ordered it to be celebrated on November 1.
Sign in Front of Church
The updated sign was done by Michael Pinkl, a Parishioner. GREAT JOB MIKE!
Mike does all types of electrical work and printing of T-Shirts and invitations, etc.
I hope to see you at Adoration this month, Mass on November 1st and of course on Sundays at Mass.
God Bless each of you for all you do for your Parish.
Sincerely,
Father Bonner
