Thursdays, 9:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., at OLM in Fr. Denis Hall. Tutors would work one-on-one with students to complete the learning assignments that the parents provide. Full day, half day, and substitute tutors are needed. Any Catholic who loves children and loves learning is welcome. Come and be a part of this exciting initiative to establish a low-cost Catholic education opportunity for families in our community! If interested, call or text Denise Curran at 210-452-5358.

Please DO NOT leave donations in the Narthex; leave them in Fr. Denis Hall on or under the designated table.

St. Hubert’s Guild Campout! November 10th/11th

All OLM fathers and sons, come join the St. Hubert’s Guild for their campout! We’ll have an archery competition, bonfire, and fellowship. Don’t miss out on this great

weekend event! Contact Brad Scott, bscottusa@gmail.com, or Peter Zeliff, peterzeliff@gmail.com for more information.

One of the great things about being Catholic is our tradition and our music and our prayers. All of that comes together in an extraordinary way each year at the beginning of November. Consequently, each year here at OLM we have our solemn All Souls Requiem Mass. The Roman Canon is chanted in Latin, and we hear all the beautiful chants of the Requiem Mass. It starts our All Souls Novena, and gives us all an opportunity to come hear beautiful music and pray for our beloved dead, mourn a bit those we miss, but also reflect on the mercy of God and our hoped-for salvation. This year, the Mass will be held in the evening, Friday, November 2nd at 6:00 p.m. (the ordinary Friday morning Mass is canceled that day).

Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord!
