The Solemnity of All Saints - November 1st
Happy Solemnity of All Saints! We will celebrate All Saints Day at a bilingual 5 p.m. Mass at Holy Name Church. This Mass will fulfill your Sunday Mass obligation.
Daylight Savings Time Change Tonight
Please remember to set your clocks back one hour tonight before going to bed, and enjoy the extra hours of rest.
All Souls’ Day
This Sunday, Nov. 2nd we commemorate the dead on All Souls’ Day. Photos of our fellow parishioners who have passed away since last year’s All Souls’ Day will be exhibited today and this month on designated tables in both Holy Name and St. Philip Neri Churches. We also have a commemorative Book of Remembrance in the lobby of St. Philip Neri Church and near the statue of St. Joseph in Holy Name Church in which you may write the names of any deceased loved ones so we may pray for them throughout this month of November.
Remembrance of Deceased Parishioners at 10 a.m. Mass
After Fr. Cook's homily at the Sunday 10 a.m. Mass, we invite one relative of each deceased parishioner who passed away since last All Souls Day to walk to the lobby of the church. There, you will receive a lit candle to carry down the center aisle when the name of your loved one is read aloud during the petitions. Please place the lit candle next to the name placard and photo of your loved one and return to your pew by way of the side aisles.
Coffee & Cocoa after 10 a.m. Mass
After Mass, all are invited to enjoy coffee and cocoa outside the church at the 30th Street exit. Stick around for a few minutes for fellowship in the beautiful weather!

Thank You!
A big Thank You to all who helped remove the rubber mulch from the SPN Catholic School playground October 25th! Thank you for bringing your wheelbarrows, shovels, muscles - and even a tractor! - to help beautify our SPN School grounds. Your help was much appreciated.
Cross Catholic Outreach
Last weekend we were blessed to have Msgr. John Pierre from Cross Catholic Outreach visit our parishes. Poor families in developing countries depend on Catholic missions for food, water, shelter, medical care, and spiritual nourishment. To support Cross Catholic Outreach and these vital international missions, see the pamphlets near church entrances or visit Cross Catholic:

Have a blessed weekend and month of November,
