Encouraging the Culture of Encounter with Jesus Christ, His Church, and All People
 
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
 
Anniversary of First Parish Mass
While September of 1919 is when St. Paul Parish came into existence, the first Mass was not celebrated until October 12, 1919. Also there was no church yet, so the Mass was celebrated at the nearby Firestone Park Elementary school.  This Saturday at the Vigil Mass we will honor that anniversary by wearing our new centenary vestments and having time of Eucharistic Adoration after the Masses. 
 
Looking ahead there will be another anniversary on October 26 honoring the dedication of the new church.  After the Vigil Mass will be the opening of the time capsule from 25 years ago and a historic display in the PAC along with a light reception. 
 
 
November 1 Holy Day Masses
This year All Saints Day falls on a Friday and is a Holy Day of Obligation.  Our normal schedule of holy day Masses is 7pm Vigil, 8:30am and 5:30pm.  We normally have a regular 5:30 Mass on Fridays in the Extraordinary Form (the Traditional Latin Mass).  This year the schedule will remain the same, and the 5:30 will also remain an Extraordinary Form Mass.  Since it is a solemnity it will be a High Mass.  So if you are planning on participating at the 5:30 and are unfamiliar with the EF Mass, do not be surprised if it looks slightly different.  But do not worry it is still the same sacrifice of the Lord, still the same Lord received in Holy Communion. 
 
Sincerely in Christ,
 
Fr. Pfr
