WE REMEMBER OUR DEPARTED LOVED ONES

Throughout the month of November, we will keep a collection of the All Souls’ envelopes with names of our loved ones inscribed on them on the altar, and include them in our daily celebration of the Mass.  When we gather for that celebration of the Mass, we exemplify the unity of the Communion of Saints.  We gather surrounded by images of but a few of the many glorious lives of those Saints of God.  We bring to each liturgy prayers for the faithful departed who have gone before us.  And we bring ourselves to the celebration – in prayer, in thanksgiving, and in a desire to be more like those who surround us and guide us along the path that will lead us all to the joy of our heavenly reward.  Not just this week, or month, but every day of our lives here on earth, let us “Sing with All the Saints in Glory”. On the wings of an angel, we rise – Father Lavelle

 

THE COMMEMORATION  OF ALL THE FAITHFUL DEPARTED

On November 2 the Church observes the Commemoration of all the Faithful Departed, what has commonly been referred to as All Souls’ Day.  This is a day when the Church lifts up in prayer all who have died, especially since the last observance of All Souls. We will have our annual Mass of Remembrance here at Saint Michael Parish on Monday, November 2, at 6:00pm. At this Mass we will remember all who have passed from this life into eternal life, especially those loved ones for whom we celebrated Masses and Services of Christian Burial this past year.  We invite all parishioners to join us as we pray for those we have lost. Eternal rest, grant unto them, O Lord, And may the peace of Christ continue to be with you.

 

ALTAR SERVER TRAINING

There will be a training for any young person 3rd grade and up who has received 1st Communion.  The training will take place on Monday, November 9 at 6:00pm in the church.
