Soon the leaves will burst into wonderful color, and then they will slowly, or maybe quickly, fall to the ground.  This time of dying (in nature) coincides often with November, the month of All Souls'.  I invite you to enter fully into the spirit of the month which reflects on death, with our hope of new and everlasting life with the Lord, Who is the Resurrection and the Life.

The dates for you to mark on your November calendar are:

October 31, 2013	Solemnity of All Saints Anticipated Mass	6:00 p.m.
November 1, 2013	Solemnity of All Saints Mass	9:00 a.m.
November 2, 2013	All Souls' Day Mass	9:00 a.m.
November 2, 2013	Prayers at  Columbarium	after Mass
November 2, 2013	Prayers at CedarVale  Cemetery	10:30 a.m.
November 5, 2013	Knights of Columbus  Memorial Mass	5:00 p.m.
November 20, 2013	Annual Parish Memorial Mass; especially for those who have lost loved ones this past year. Reception follows Mass- Lower Hall	3:00 p.m.

Also, please drop your All Souls' envelopes with the names of your deceased loved ones in the collection basket, or send through the mail, or at the Church Office, before November 2, so they will be on the altar for All Souls' Day mass and throughout November.

Finally, you are invited to bring pictures of your deceased loved ones, with your name and phone humber on the back of the frame, and place them on the marked table in the narthex.  These will be arranged and put on our Table of Remembrance in church for the month of November.
