Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Already we’re approaching the opening of November - the month of All Saints, All Souls, Thanksgiving, the First Sunday of Advent. Remember please that Friday, November 1^st the Solemnity of All Saints is a Holy Day of Obligation. We are all obliged under pain of serious sin to attend Mass. The Mass schedule is in the bulletin.

This year, our Mass of Remembrance at which we pray for all those people whose bodies have died during the past year will be celebrated on Sunday November 10^th at 4:00 P.M. Our Lazarus Ministry has sent invitations to those directly related to those we remember, but all are invited. It will fulfill the Sunday obligation.

We have been receiving much positive input from may parishioners for our live streaming on the internet. It is accessible from our web site home page. Just scroll down to “live streaming” and click. The view is live 24/7/365 and for special occasion our producer ads additional features live with many added scenes including our beautiful choir. So pass the word especially with the Consecration on the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe on December 12^th. Past events in our Cathedral are also available for viewing.

Our parish Rite of Acceptance for R.C.I.A. candidates and catechumens will take place at the 10:30 A.M. Mass on Sunday, November 17^th. Please contact our coordinator, Mrs. Sara Sharlow, at Ext. 392 or our parish office if you yourself are interested in the Catholic faith or if you are already baptized Catholic and have not received the sacraments of Penance, Holy Eucharist or Confirmation.

Please join together as a parish on Thanksgiving Day at the 9:00 A.M. Mass to celebrate our gratitude to God for His overwhelming generosity to our country as well as to ourselves as a family and as individuals. He is just so good to us!

Please set aside Thursday, December 12, 2019 as the day we will celebrate our consecration to the Lord through the intercession of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Bishop Checchio will join The Most Reverend Christophe Pierre, the Apostolic Nuncio (Ambassador from the Holy See) to the United States who will be the Principle Celebrant of the Holy Mass at 7:00 P.M.

Please bring your children to Church for Mass and other forms of worship.

Our Lady of Guadalupe, pray for us!

In Christ’s service,

                                                              
Rev. Msgr. Robert J. Zamorski
