In Faithful Remembrance: Praying for All Souls

✨ From the Pastor’s Desk

Sacred Journeys and Grateful Blessings – Part II
Fr. Skip shares the moving conclusion of the parish pilgrimage through Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, and Montenegro. The pilgrims experienced deep renewal in Medjugorje, climbing Apparition Hill and praying before the Blessed Sacrament alongside over 1,500 faithful from around the world. Their journey continued to Our Lady of the Rocks in Montenegro and the historic city of Dubrovnik, where they celebrated Mass at St. Blaise Church. Returning home with grateful hearts, Fr. Skip reminds us that every journey of faith begins and ends in the heart of God.

Special Focus

Month of the Faithful Departed
Throughout November, parishioners are invited to bring framed photos of deceased loved ones for the Remembrance Prayer Table at the back of the church. Each photo will be blessed and included in the month’s Mass intentions as the parish honors the communion of saints and the hope of eternal life.

National Vocation Awareness Week (Nov 2–8)
The Church invites all to pray for holy vocations to priesthood, diaconate, and consecrated life. A special “Prayer to Discover My Vocation” encourages reflection on God’s unique call to holiness for each of us.
