Twenty-Seventh Sunday

in Ordinary Time

At Holy Faith our mission is that everyone come to know, love and serve God in union with Christ Jesus and his Spirit-filled Catholic Church. In doing so we are committed to our vision to build together a community of compassion in Christ.   

This weekend we will share with the parish the Financial State of Holy Faith Parish. There will be copies of the 2023 statement and 2024 budget report in the vestibule of the church at all the Masses.

Attached is a copy of a Note from our Pastor

OCTOBER the MONTH OF THE ROSARY

We invite you to join us for a special "Living" Rosary Prayer Service tonight, October 7th, beginning with the singing of the "Ave Maria" inside the church, after the 5pm Saturday Vigil Mass (about 6:15pm) in celebration of the Feast of

Our Lady of the Rosary.

The Rosary is a beautiful and powerful prayer that is centered around Christ. It is a peaceful way to connect with God and reflect on the mysteries of our faith. We encourage everyone to come and experience the peace that comes with praying the Rosary. Whether you are a devoted Catholic or simply curious about the Rosary, all are welcome to attend this special service.

Let us come together as a community to pray for the intercession of our Blessed Mother for the needs of the world and of the church, for all life to be respected, and for our personal intentions known to God alone. Enjoy the beautiful music, meditations and prayerful setting of this special evening.

We will have a prayer box to place your intentions as we begin to pray the Holy Rosary together. In sharing the diversity of our parish family, we invite all who speak a different language to join in and pray with us the first part of the Hail Mary in their native tongue when it's your turn, making this a truly 'living', enriching, powerful, moving, prayerful, community Rosary experience. The second part of the Hail Mary will be prayed in English by all.

Join us tonight, Saturday, October 7 at 6:15pm, as we begin with the singing of the "Ave Maria" in honor of Mary, Our Blessed Mother.
