Dear Parishioners, Peace and blessing! Friday is the Feast of All Saints. It is a Holy Day of Obliga on and it is also First Friday. Please check the bul-le n for the Mass schedule. We will have Eucharis c Ado-ra on between the Masses on Friday. Halloween which comes from the term for All Hallows or Saints, does not have its origins in paganism, Samhain, Cel c/Druidic fes vals, the occult, or Satanism. This common misconcep on is modern an -Catholic prop-aganda, with roots going back to the Protestant Refor-ma on, and has no basis in historical fact. Halloween is a day to reflect on Christ's triumph over sin, death, and Sa-tan; to give honor to the saints in heaven; and to pray for the souls of the faithful departed in purgatory. And, of course, to have fun with joyful feas ng and merriment. Happy Halloween! In our Gospel today Jesus reminds us that when we pray, we must remember our need for God in our lives. If we are too full of ourselves, there is too li le room for God's grace to work in us. Have a wonderful week! In His Peace, Fr. Martin Queridos feligreses, Paz y bendición! El viernes es la fiesta de todos los santos. Es un día de obligación y también es el primer viernes. Por favor, consulte el bole n para el horario de misas. Tendremos adoración eucarís ca entre las misas del viernes. Halloween, que proviene del término para Todos los Santos, no ene su origen en el paganismo, Samhain, fes vales celtas / druídicos, el ocul smo o el satanismo. Este error común es la propaganda an católica moderna, con raíces en la Reforma protestante, y no ene base en hechos históricos. Halloween es un día para reflexionar sobre el triunfo de Cristo sobre el pecado, la muerte y Satanás; para honrar a los santos en el cielo; y rezar por las almas de los fieles que par eron en el purgatorio. Y, por supues-to, diver rse con un fes n alegre. ¡Feliz Halloween! En nuestro Evangelio de hoy, Jesús nos recuerda que cuando oramos, debemos recordar nuestra necesidad de Dios en nuestras vidas. Si estamos demasiado llenos de nosotros mismos, hay muy poco espacio para que la gracia de Dios trabaje en nosotros. ¡Ten una maravillosa semana! En Su Paz, Padre Martin

October is the month of the Rosary

In this month of October, let us consider this beautiful prayer of the Rosary as a means

that we too can use in order to draw closer to Jesus and Mary by meditating on the great

mysteries of our salvation.

Attention Parishioners ALL SOULS ENVELOPES

All Souls Envelopes will be available, start-ing next week, as you leave the Church

Mass intentions – effective January 1, 2020

January 1st we will put into prac-tice WITHOUT EXCEPTIONS the direc-

tives given to us by both Canon Law and Cardinal Tobin.

Each weekend one Mass will be offered for the people of the parish (pro populo Mass). No Mass stipend can be accepted for this

Mass. Each Mass, weekend and weekday will have ONE intention with one stipend. In accord

with decree of the Congregation for the Clergy of 1991 a priest cannot gather together several

different intentions for which an individual offering has been made and satisfy them with a single Mass. Henceforth there will be only one intention per Mass with no exceptions.
