All Saints’ Day is November 1^st and is a feast day observing the lives of the many saints for whom there is no specific feast day during the year. All Souls’ Day is the third day of the triduum and is a day of prayer for, and remembrance of, the “faithfully departed”. Also known as Día de los Muertos/Day of the Dead; a tradition rooted in Mexican culture that honors the deceased and celebrates their lives with music, dance, and food. We invite you to join us for Masses celebrating these special days (see the schedule below):

Thursday, October 31: 6pm All Saints’ Vigil Mass in Vietnamese at St. George

Friday, November 1 All Saints’ Day Masses: 8:10am at St. Paul with Cristo Rey High School, 8:30am at St. George with the school, 8:30am at St. Edward with Nativity School, 10:30am at St. Peter, 6pm at St. George in Vietnamese, 7pm at St. Edward in English and Spanish, 7:30pm at St. Peter with the Maronite community

Saturday, November 2 All Souls’ Day Masses: We will follow our regular Mass schedule for Saturdays with a special Mass of Remembrance at St. Edward at 6pm.  Each of our parishes will have a special table set up during the month of November for you to place pictures of your deceased loved ones (please put your name on the photo so we can return it to you).

As we begin our yearly focus on the stewardship of treasure, we invite you to reflect on how God has blessed you over this past year. This week you will receive a letter from Fr. Scott asking you to reflect on God’s abundant blessings and consider investing a portion of those blessings back into our parish. Your gifts help us further our mission of helping one another encounter Jesus Christ.

Next week, we will be hearing from one of our parishioners about how God has been working in their lives and how they chose to share their blessings.

Time. We often feel like there isn’t enough of it. And sometimes we look up and wonder how it has gone so fast. Between work, school, volunteering, and kids, we are frequently so busy that we can’t imagine how to fit in time for rest, relaxation, and just savoring time. Join us this year as we explore the ancient concept of Sabbath with author MaryAnn Mckibben Dana, pastor, wife, and mother of three. Using the book Sabbath in the Suburbs, we will follow the pastor and her family as they attempt a year of practicing Sabbath. We will read a short chapter each month and meet on the 4th Monday of each month to discuss her ideas and suggestions as well as the challenges and fruits of the practice as we try to make time for it in our own lives.

Our next gathering will be on Monday, October 28 at 8am at St. George Parish in the St. Francis Room. Please read Chapter 3 before we gather. Contact Jennifer for more information at jibach@stedwardparish.net
