Question of the Week "All who exalt themselves will be humbled, but all who humble themselves will be exalted." (Lk 18:14) Adults: When have you felt self-satisfied in observing the mistakes of others? What should we remember at such times? Kids: Have you ever thought you were better than someone else? What is the problem with such thoughts? Social Justice Prayer for Peace All are welcome to join the social justice committee in praying for peace. We meet in the east room in the back of church or at the peace site bench outside (weather permitting) following the 5:00 p.m. and 8:30 a.m. Masses. “Never has the use of violence brought peace in its wake. War begets war, violence begets violence.” Pope Francis I Weekday Mass and Adoration Chapel Weekday Mass (or a Service of the Word and Communion) is celebrated in our parish center chapel at 9:00 a.m., Monday through Friday, with rosary at 8:30 a.m. The chapel is available for quiet prayer during parish office hours.

All Souls Day, or the Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed, that is, of the souls of all Christians who have died, follows All Saints Day. Observing Christians typically remember deceased relatives on this day. At St. Timothy’s we will celebrate All Souls Day with a Mass of Remembrance on Saturday, November 2 at 10 a.m. At that Mass we will give special honor to those from our parish who have had funerals here between October 1, 2018 and September 30, 2019, as listed below. Everyone from the parish is welcome to attend this memorial Mass.

Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
