Saturday, November 1st at 9:00am (Lourdes Campus)

The Solemnity of All Saints is a beautiful day when the Church celebrates all the holy men and women known and unknown who now rejoice in heaven. It is a reminder of our own universal call to holiness and the communion we share with all the saints who inspire us by their example.

This year, because November 1st falls on a Saturday, the obligation to attend Mass is abrogated (lifted).

In other words, this is not a Holy Day of Obligation. However, our parish warmly invites you to join us for a special Mass at 9:00am at Our Lady of Lourdes Church to honor the saints and seek their intercession. Come celebrate this great feast of joy and hope as we remember that we, too, are called to become saints!

All Souls Day Mass of Remembrance

Monday, November 3, 2025 at 6:30pm (Lourdes Campus).

Join us for our Solemn All Souls Day Mass of Remembrance as we honor and pray for all the faithful departed. The Mass for the Dead is one of the Church’s most beautiful traditions an expression of faith, hope, and love that unites heaven and earth. Praying for the dead is a spiritual work of mercy, and your presence at this Mass is a powerful act of charity for those who have gone before us.

Come renew your hope in the Resurrection and entrust your loved ones to God’s merciful care. All are welcome.

National Vocation Awareness Week, celebrated November 2-8, 2025, is an annual week-long celebration of the Catholic Church in the United States dedicated to promoting vocations to the priesthood, diaconate, and consecrated life through prayer and education.

It is also a time to renew our prayers and support for those who are considering one of these particular vocations.

There will be a special collection the weekend of November 1st and 2nd to support the education of our seminarians preparing for priesthood in our diocese.
