Mass of Remembrance (11/3)
In the month of November, the Catholic Church prays for and remembers in a special way the souls of all the faithful departed. At Blessed Trinity and St. Patrick parishes it has been our custom to designate one Sunday Mass during the month of November as a “Mass of Remembrance”.
During this Mass, the names of those parishioners whose funerals were celebrated during the past year are read and a candle is lit for each one, signifying the continued prayers of our parish community for our fellow parishioners.
This year’s Mass of Remembrance will be Sunday, November 3rd at all four churches. Christ our Lord is the source of all true consolation. Let us unite ourselves with him this November, that, as the
Church prays in the funeral liturgy, “those saddened by the certainty of dying, might be consoled by the promise of immortality to come.”

Daily Prayer of the Month (November)
Heavenly Father,
We remember the saints to whom we pray and all the souls of the faithful departed. We thank all veterans for their service to our country. May we be generous to the poor as written in the Old and New testaments. We appeal to You for an end to abortion and the wisdom to eradicate disease. On Thanksgiving, may we be grateful for all we have been given especially to have been born in this blessed country. We recall the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. May we continue our evangelization efforts in following the Apostle, Andrew. We pray for the health and direction of Pope Francis. We ask these in recognition of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe
Amen.
