National Vocation Awareness Week, celebrated this year on November 2nd – 8h, is an annual week-long celebration dedicated to promoting vocations to the priesthood, diaconate, and consecrated life through prayer and education, and to renew our prayers and support for those who are considering a religious vocation.

Daylight Savings Time ends at 2:00 AM on November 2. Remember to turn your clocks BACK one hour.

Because November 1, All Saints Day, falls on a Saturday, it is NOT a holyday of obligation in 2025. Our annual Mass of Remembrance, which commemorates parishioners and their family members who have died in the past year, will be held on Saturday, November 1, at the 4:00 PM Vigil Mass. The readings will be those for All Souls Day. Click on this box for more information.
