THE THREE-DAY WEEKEND

This Friday (November 1) is the Solemnity of All Saints, a Holy Day of Obligation.  We will have Mass on that day at 9:00 AM and 7:00 PM.  Both Masses will be in the Church.

Also, since this day is also a FIRST FRIDAY, our 9:00 AM Mass will also be the Sacred Heart Community Mass as we had celebrated before the Mass schedule shrunk back in August.

That said...
