All Souls
Day
Sunday,
November 2nd is All Souls Day. Offering
envelopes can be found at all the
entrances of the church.
Special
Mass
On Nov.
3rd at 7:00pm there will be a special
Memorial Mass for all who have died during
this past year, especially focusing on
those who were parishioners and were
buried from Epiphany. This is a Parish
Mass and all are invited to participate.
Marriage:
Bishops’ Statement in Support of
Proposition 8
The
issue before us with Proposition 8 is
“marriage”--an ancient, yet
modern, human institution which pre-exists
both Church and government. Marriage,
history shows us, is intrinsic to stable,
flourishing and hospitable societies.
Although cultural differences have
occurred, what has never changed is that
marriage is the ideal relationship between
a man and a woman for the purpose of
procreation and the continuation of the
human race. We must support traditional
marriage as the source of our
civilization, the foundation for a society
that can be home at all human beings, and
the reflection of our relationship with
God.

Bishops

Reflections
GOSPEL:
John 6:37-40
We know that we will die
just as Jesus knew he would die. What does
this gospel mean then? Jesus is telling us
some wonderful news: for those who
believe, death is not an end but a
beginning. It is a passage to a new life
that is so extraordinary we can’t
begin to imagine it. We saw a hint of this
new life on Easter. Death does not win.
Life wins.
1.) How can we help others believe
that “life wins!”?
2.) What are your expectations of
this new life?
3.) Try to imagine what this new
life would be like.
