Thirtieth SUNDAY OF ORDINARY TIME

by Fr. Boniface Endorf, O.P.

Dear St. Joseph Parish Family,

Thank you to everyone who has donated to our boiler campaign! The campaign is now completed, and the boilers are nearly completed as well. Enjoy the heat this winter at St. Joe’s! 

Next Saturday, November 1st, is All Saints Day. It’s usually a Holy Day of Obligation, but because it falls on a Saturday this year, it is not obligatory. However, it is highly recommended to attend Mass on Saturday.

For All Saints, we’ll have the usual 12:10pm Saturday daily Mass and the 5:30pm Saturday Mass, both of which will be for All Saints. The Sunday Masses will be for All Souls and at the usual Sunday Mass times. The normal Masses will count for the Sunday obligation (5:30 Saturday; 9am, 11:30am, or 6pm Sunday). 

In the narthex we have the book to write the names of the deceased you’d like to include in this year’s novena of Masses for All Souls. The novena ends on Sunday, so please include everyone before then. 

God bless,
Fr. Boniface
