Dear Fellow Parishioners, Within the next few days, we will celebrate what is really a triduum – i.e., a “three-dayer” – of Hallowe’en, the Solemnity of All Saints, and the Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed. Traditionally, this three-day observance was known as “Allhallowtide.” Unfortunately, the connection between these three days is getting lost. “Hallow” […]

Dear Fellow Parishioners, By the time this appears in the bulletin, the funeral of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI will have taken place.
