Mass of Remembrance (11/8)
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 8th 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.

Saturday Morning Mass
The First Saturday Mass in November will be held on November 7th at 9 am at St. James Church.
Starting in December, there will be Mass every Saturday morning at 9 am at St. Patrick Church.
Prayer Teams
Jesus said that when two or more people are gathered in my name, I am with you. With that in mind, we have an exciting opportunity to have prayer teams consisting of two or more people available for individual prayers the first Saturday of each month after the 5 pm Mass at St. Patrick Church. They will privately pray with you for healing, special requests, prayers for other people, etc.
If you want to invite someone to come for these special prayers, please invite them to come on August 1st. This is an awesome opportunity to continue Christ’s mission to pray for the sick and for those in
need of Special prayers.
