My Dear Parishioners,
One of the most beautiful things about belonging to a parish family is knowing that we do not have to walk through life's most difficult moments alone. When someone we love dies, the Church does not simply celebrate a funeral and send us on our way. She continues to walk with us, pray with us, and remind us that even in the midst of grief, we are never separated from the love of Christ.
On this coming Sunday we begin the wonderful month of November, which for us as Catholics is the sacred month for remembrance.
On Sunday, November 22, at 9:30 am, we will celebrate our Annual Mass of Remembrance. At this Mass we pray especially for our beloved dead and we will remember by name the members of our parish family who have died this past year. The liturgy allows us, once again, to mourn our loss with others who are also grieving. Together we seek strength and comfort as we continue our own journey.
I recently read a reflection that speaks to the reality that everyone’s human journey is not fixed, we are always moving forward:
Knowing that my earthly journey is only temporary can be a blessed realization. How so? Because it forces me to recognize I am bound to something that is fleeting, that carries me along, whether I want it to or not, that I have to move from where I am now to where I will be the next hour, the next day, the next week. And all the hours and days are taking me the pilgrim, to a final destination. I am making my way not to a foreign land but to a sacred meeting place where God awaits. (Sr. Margaret Dorgan, DCM)
