The Thirtieth Sunday in Ordinary Time
October 26, 2025
 

The tax collector’s humble prayer—“O God, be merciful to me, a sinner”—reminds us that true righteousness is born of humility, not pride. God exalts those who open their hearts in honest dependence on Him.
All Souls Novena
 
Don't forget to bring your All Souls remembrance envelope to Church this weekend!!
 
All the envelopes will be bound together and placed upon the altar at each parish church, where your loved ones will be remembered at every Mass throughout the novena starting November 2nd.
Saturday, November 1st is the Solemnity of All Saints. While it is still a “Holy Day”, the obligation to attend Mass is suspended due to it being on a Saturday. The only Mass for All Saints, will be the usual 8 am Mass at St. Hedwig.

The Saturday, 5 p.m. (11/1), as well as all Sunday Masses (11/2) will be for All Souls.
Throughout the month of November, altars in remembrance of our beloved dead will be displayed in both of our parish churches. The “Día de los Muertos” altar, or “ofrenda”, is a traditional way to honor those who have gone before us, expressing love and remembrance through photos, flowers, candles, and other meaningful items.

Starting next weekend (November 2nd), and throughout the month of November, Parishioners are invited to bring a photo or small memento of a deceased loved one to place on the altar as we pray together for all the faithful departed.
