In Loving Memory: Praying for the Faithful Departed

✨ From the Pastor’s Desk

Commemoration of the Faithful Departed – All Souls & Month of Remembrance
Fr. Skip invites the parish to remember all the faithful departed during this sacred month of November. Rooted in the Communion of Saints, the Church’s prayers unite heaven, earth, and purgatory in one bond of love. Parishioners are encouraged to bring framed photos of loved ones to the Remembrance Table as we pray for eternal rest for all souls. “We have loved them during life; let us not abandon them after death until we have conducted them by our prayers into the house of the Lord.”

He also shares gratitude in anticipation of the upcoming Parish Financial Report (Nov 23), reflecting on stewardship as a sacred partnership with God. Faithful giving sustains the mission and ministry of Blessed Trinity as we continue building a strong, transparent, and grace-filled parish family.
