Remembering Our Deceased Loved Ones
Traditionally, the month of November has been a special time
for the Church to remember its deceased loved ones. So that we
may keep your dear ones in prayer, we invite you to write the
names of your beloved dead in our Book of Remembrance. This
book will be in the atrium until All Souls Day, next Sunday,
November 2, when it will be blessed at the 5:00 Mass.
We also invite you to bring pictures and mementos of your loved
ones for a special display near the Book of Remembrance. The
Paschal Candle, symbol of Christ's resurrection over death, will
be lit near the book each time we celebrate the Eucharist during
the entire month of November.
Come-and-See Weekend—The Paulist Fathers
Fr. Dave Farnum, CSP and the Paulist Fathers
invite you to explore what life could be like for you
as a Paulist priest. The retreat will take place
October 24-26 in Washington, DC. If you’re
interested, contact Fr. Dave at
dfarnum@paulist.org The weekend itself is without cost and
there are some options for transportation assistance. This is a
great chance to explore the missionary zeal of the Paulists and
discern if it is for you.
Help Make Our Worship Space Beautiful for Our 100th
Anniversary
Donations of flowers and plants to place around the altar, the
ambo, the baptismal font and elsewhere in the Holy Spirit
Chapel will be greatly appreciated. These can be dropped off at
the UCC during the week of October 26.

All are invited for food and fellowship at 12:30 pm on
Wednesdays in the Atrium. $3.00 suggested do-
