Dear Friend,
Happy Halloween! We are hoping everyone will have a safe and joyful celebration of this spooktacular national holiday!
REMINDER - Tonight is the end of Daylight Saving Time. At 2:00am all clocks should be set back 1 hour. This will make it feel like everyone has an extra hour of sleep! When you come to Mass tomorrow, if no one is there, it may be because you forgot to change the clock!
And having an extra hour of sleep will be fruitful for everyone who will be running the annual 5K race tomorrow morning. Read more about the race below as well as the lunch-celebration afterwards which will take place to mark the leave-taking of long-time staff member David Heimann.
Key notifications for the week ahead at Saint Andrew Parish are listed below.
