What’s happening:
Mass of Remembrance (11/2)
Mass of Remembrance
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 2nd 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 pray for the souls of the faithful departed and your merciful understanding in our efforts toward becoming saints. We ask that people study before electing their representatives. We honor all our veterans who served our country in its defense for freedom. On the World Day of the Poor may we be reminded of those less fortunate. We are grateful to you for the benefits that we have and for our country which continues to be blessed. We implore you for an end to war and assistance for those affected by war. We plead for an end to abortion and your insight on those working to eradicate disease. As we begin Advent, may we reverently prepare for the coming of your son, Jesus. We ask these in commemoration of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary and through Our Lord, Jesus Christ, King of the Universe,
Amen
