As you read this I’m in the Holy Land (at least I hope so!). I’ve been looking forward to a trip like this for a long time and I’m excited to see the places we hear about in the Bible and to walk where Jesus walked. I’m looking forward to sharing some of my learning after I return home. I’ll be back late on November 1st. Please say a prayer for a good trip and for safe travels. Know of my prayers for you.
Today is World Mission Sunday. Envelopes are in the sets mailed to you and there is an option to donate to this electronically. (Side note: if you are not currently giving electronically, I invite you to look into it. There are many advantages to this.) Your contribution, no matter the size, will help the missionaries of our Church throughout the world to preach the Gospel and to help those who are in need of assistance in more than 1,100 mission dioceses in Africa, Asia, Pacific Islands, and parts of Latin America and Europe. Please consider supporting the missionaries who act on behalf of us throughout the world to bring the compassion and hope of Christ to people across the globe. Thank you for considering a donation for World Mission Sunday.
The feast of All Saints is coming up soon. Our Masses will be as follows: 7:00 a.m., 12:00 noon, and 6:30 p.m. on Nov. 1st.
On All Souls Day, we will have a Mass at 6:30 p.m. in the evening to give us a chance to remember and pray for those who have died during this past year. It’s always a nice opportunity to pray and to support one another. All are welcome.
Archbishop Rozanski is seeking additional input and feedback from current school families as the Archdiocese continues to exam all of its parishes, schools, ministries and agencies. This is a new survey with questions about tuition, class sizes, teacher compensation, etc. A summary of the subsidy rates of all Archdiocesan elementary schools as a whole, and of our specific school, are now available on the All Things New website. This survey can be taken online and will be available to be completed from October 17 through November 1.
