THE ROSARY:
October is dedicated to the Holy Rosary, one of the best known and proper forms of prayer that we have as Catholics. The purpose of the Rosary is to help us meditate of the great mysteries of our salvation. There are four sets of “Mysteries of the Rosary” (Joyful, Luminous, Sorrowful and Glorious), Giving a total of twenty mysteries. Each set of mysteries is said on specific days of the week. As we recite the Rosary, we are meant to meditate upon these mysteries. Over the centuries, the Rosary has grown into a timeless family prayer, one that has been prayed by billions of souls in countless languages around the world. Literally every moment of the day, in almost every corner of the earth. Catholic faithful pray the Rosary. If you aren’t sure of how to say the Rosary, visit the web site Come, Pray the Rosary, an online video for participation in worldwide or individual prayer.
MINISTRY FAIR:
Thank you to everyone who participated in the Ministry Fair! We look forward to getting to know you better. If you haven’t yet had a chance to sign up, the box and cards will remain at the back of the Church until October 12th. We will start contacting people after that date. Feel free to volunteer for any ministry at any time by contacting the parish office.
ROAD TO EMMAUS ADULT FAITH FORMATION:
Is in session until Monday, November 10th, All Hallows Parish is hosting a seven-week Adult Faith Formation program (in the basement of the church) that follows the Conversations in the Spirit model encouraged by the latest synod. Each session will begin at 1:00 pm with a reflection on an appropriate scripture passage that introduces the topic of the day, followed by three questions that help focus the discussion. Each session will conclude with a general summation as well as any that may need answering. The seven topics for discussion: God, Jesus, Holy Spirit, Prayer, Suffering, Life and Death.
4 YOUTH:
Climate change and the use or misuse of the earth’s resources has become a major concern for many members of our society. As Catholics, we believe that care for God’s creation is an everyday thing. How should we treat the environment? We fulfill God’s commission with regard to creation when we care for the earth, with its biological laws, its variety of species, its natural beauty, and its dwindling resources, as a living space and preserve it, so that future generations also can live well on earth. God wants us to use the earth’s resources and creatures wisely and that we should save them from destruction.
FAMILY CATECHETICS:
Registration is open and ongoing. Schedules and registration sheets can be found at the entrances to the parish or at the parish office.
Family Catechetics is an ongoing Faith formation program for families helping form students into prayerful, committed Christians who give witness to the Faith through active participation in the life and the mission of the Church. With their families, students learn about many areas of their Faith and are prepared to receive the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Eucharist. Our program runs from Kindergarten to year 6 in addition to the two years of preparation to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation.
