Dear Ones,
Two things. One looking forward and one looking back.
First, it was a pleasure to introduce our Pastoral Year seminarian, Bairon Guerrero at all the Masses last weekend. He will be doing a variety of things while he is here with us- Liturgical work at our Masses, a presence with our School children and helping Deacon John with Faith Formations, sharing in the work of the Sister Isaac Center and our Hispanic Ministry efforts. Our Diocese sent him here, but it did not send him with a car (the diocesan car stayed with the other two seminarians who are continuing their academics in New Orleans.) So…anybody got a car? If donated, it would be accepted as a charitable donation to our Diocese who would then allow Bairon to use it. Please call or email me if you can help.
Second, looking back. I realize that since around St. Patrick’s Day 2020 people have been unable to mourn and grieve as they would usually do. This year, on All Souls’ Day, November 2, we will have a couple of Masses celebrated in which we will be especially mindful of people we have lost (whether from Covid or not, many could not travel as they usually would have done.) To assist in this our Parish will offer 7-9 day candles which you will be able to purchase for $7.50. We will make them available a week before hand so that you can use a Sharpie to write the names you are memorializing and can decorate your candle as well. We will place these candles around the Basilica to burn in memory of all those whom we have lost. We will start the orders this week and collect money when you pick up your candle.
Finally, this is the Month of the Rosary. Try praying it together as a family and use the Joyful or Glorious Mysteries.
Be Well, Do Good!
