For all the Saints
This year we will celebrate All Saints Day on both November 1 and November 5.
The service on November 1 will be held at 7:00 pm in the chapel, and we will remember parishioners who have died between November 1, 2022, and November 1, 2023.
On November 5, people are encouraged to bring pictures of those they love but see no longer; ideally, the pictures will be in self-standing frames, as they will be placed on tables in front of the chancel. The chapel will have one table in front of the pulpit, and the church will have two tables, one in front of the pulpit and one in front of the lectern.
We will also read the names of the departed, though they do not have to be parishioners nor do they have to have gone to their reward in the last year. For example, you are free to include your cousin Pete who passed away in 1995. We are in the church because of the saints who preceded us; this is the day to honor and thank them.
If you have names you would like to see published in the bulletin, please send them to Claire at claire.erbeznik@stfrancispalosverdes.org before 10:00 am on Wednesday, November 1.
