This year, All Saints' Day will be celebrated on the weekend of October 31–November 1. Mass will be celebrated in the Church on Saturday at 4:00 PM and on Sunday at 7:30 AM, 9:00 AM, 11:15 AM, and 5:30 PM.
A special All Souls' Day Mass will be celebrated on Monday, November 2, at 7:00 PM in the church. We will remember in a special way those who were commended to our Lord at SIJ during the past year — each will be mentioned by name. We hope you can join us and share in this special remembrance. Light refreshments will be available in the vestibule following Mass.
All Souls Novena of Masses: All Souls envelopes are available at all church exits and in the Parish Office. If you wish to have your loved ones remembered in the Novena of Masses beginning November 2 through 9, fill out the envelope with your donation and place it in the offertory basket or drop it off at the Parish Office.

Trunk-or-Treat — What You Need to Know
Students & Teachers: Wear your saint costume to the 9:00 AM Mass, then to class, and then to the Trunk-or-Treat! Home study families are welcome to join us at 11:10 AM in costume.
Parents: While your child is in class, bring your car or a chair to the side lot alongside the Cronin Center and set up your spot to hand out candy. Trunk decorations and costumes don't need a religious theme — just keep it family-friendly (nothing political, gory, or too scary).
Not into dressing up? No problem! Bring a prop that relates to your saint — a rosary, a stuffed animal for St. Francis, or something that says "Patron Saint of ____." Kids should know at least one fact about their saint and can share it with their class: "Saint _____, pray for us." No report required!
Youth Group — Everyone's Welcome!
All teens are invited to the Kateri Room for an evening of faith, fellowship, and fun — 6:30–8:00 PM. High Schoolers are also encouraged to join Middle School nights to participate, encourage, and guide the younger students.

Haiti Sister Parish Ministry
St. Anthony the Hermit's elementary and middle schools in Chenot, Haiti rely on the generosity of St. Isaac Jogues to provide funding as they nourish and educate their next generation of students. We are united in the love of Our Lord and in our common hope for the future.
Your continued support matters. Visit the Haiti bulletin board near the east entrance to see the impact your gifts are making — photos of students, school lunches, and the lives being changed through your generosity. Be the hope we pray to see in the world.
