Beginning this month, the first Sunday of October marks the debut of my monthly Pastor’s Newsletter. Look out for it in the bulletin every first weekend of the month and via Flocknote on Fridays. Stay tuned for insightful reflections and highlights of upcoming events and activities in our parish and school.

Exciting events this month include the start of a prayer group, the return of That Man is You for men, a retreat for CtR Women, the 8th Grade pilgrimage to Washington DC, a Chili Cook-Off Pep Rally for fundraising, a trip for the Lenten Almsgiving project, and a fun Trunk or Treat event on October 24th. Let's embrace the blessings and share them with others!

In October, we celebrate major feast days and saints, including St. Thérèse of Lisieux, St. Francis of Assisi, St. Theresa of Avila, St. Ignatius of Antioch, and more. Pick a saint to inspire you this month and learn from their witness to the Lord Jesus. Let's honor these saintly intercessors and deepen our faith.

Join us in dedicating the month of October to the Holy Rosary and pray for peace in our personal lives, families, and community through this powerful spiritual practice. Don't miss the communal Rosary event on October 11 at 6 pm in Saint Peter’s Square as part of the global initiative. Let's come together in prayer and unity.

As we embrace the Fall season, let's also enrich our spiritual lives. Attend communal prayers, participate in the Rosary and Chaplet of Divine Mercy on Thursdays, and join the Rosary for vocations on First Fridays of the month. Let's nurture our faith and deepen our connection with the divine during this season of reflection.
