Dear Friend,
An ordinary walk through the neighborhood this week will reveal two things... its getting colder outside and Halloween is coming!
We're having our own Halloween celebration tonight, Saturday, October 25 after the 4:00pm Vigil Mass with our annual Trunk or Treat in our parking lot on Addison Ave. Families are encouraged to come after Mass and donning their seasonal costumes, get some spooky treats from all the sponsors opening up their trunks.
And as always, we make note that the origin of Halloween is "All Hallow's Eve" or more plainly spoken, the night before All Saints Day. We look with even greater expectation to celebrating the "reason for the season" as we beseech all the saints for their intercession as we continue the journey of discipleship in Jesus with one another.
Key notifications for the week ahead at Saint Andrew Parish are listed below.
All Souls Day is the day we remember all our beloved dead. This year, the solemnity falls on Sunday, November 2, 2025 which means that all Sunday Masses will celebrate the solemnity. In a particular way, we will honor those who have died in in the parish during the past year at the 9:00am Mass on Sunday, November 2.
Parishioners are invited to bring photos of loved ones who have died to place on our altar of remembrance. Their names will be called out and candles will be lit for them during the Mass. If you would like a name and photo included and are not able to attend the Mass, please email david@standrew.org who will include the remembrance on your behalf.
Women's Group Has Started!
We are excited to announce the start of a new Women’s Group at Saint Andrew! The group gathers on Wednesdays (right after the school Mass), in the Parish Office. This is a multigenerational group open to all women — especially welcoming moms with babies and toddlers. Together we’ll share fellowship, pray, reflect on the Bible and the lives of holy women and encourage one another in faith. The group will meet weekly every Wednesday starting October 22nd.
Fall Clean Clean Out
Calling all volunteers! It's time for a Fall clean out at the parish. Over the summer, an entire dumpster of material was removed from decades of build up in the rectory thanks to volunteers from the parish. Now it is time for phase 2! We need volunteers to help roll away the dust, plaster, and debris on the second floor of the rectory. Sign up today using the button below.
