Dear Friend,
Blessed Feast of All Saints!
Today is the day we celebrate the splendor of the models of faith who lived their lives so to be know in eternity as Friends of God! We are the beneficiaries of their countenance and blessed by their constant intercession. Make sure you take a moment of gratitude for the saints closest to your heart and may your remembrance of them guide you ever close to the heart of Jesus.
And as we gather for Mass on Sunday, we will be celebrating the Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed (All Souls Day). At all the Masses, we will recall those who have died, but especially at the 9:00am Mass, we will recall all the members of our parish who have died in the past year. An Altar of Remembrance will be set up and you are free to put photos of your loved ones on the altar and to light a candle.
Key notifications for the week ahead at Saint Andrew Parish are listed below.
