ALL THE SAINTS!

On this Solemnity of All Saints, we have the profound joy of celebrating our brothers and sisters in Christ:  ALL THE SAINTS! Their lives remind us that holiness is not reserved for a select few. Through Baptism, Confirmation, and Holy Communion each of us receives the call to holiness and discipleship. In other words, we are all called to become Saints.  (We have nearly 60 people in the process of initiation right now!  Please pray for them!) Our stewardship way of life helps us answer that call in the ordinary circumstances of daily life, offering ourselves back to God with grateful hearts. 

As we wrap up our formal Stewardship Renewal Weekends, I want to extend a heartfelt thank-you to everyone who has returned a Commitment Card. Your willingness to reflect on how you can grow in faith and service is deeply appreciated. My prayer is that your commitments in the coming year will lead you to a richer relationship with God, a stronger bond with your family, and a deeper connection to our parish community. I’m excited to witness the many ways this will unfold in your lives and in the life of our parish — and our brand-new mission!

Even though our official Renewal Weekends have come to a close, it’s never too late to take that step. If you haven’t yet completed a Commitment Card, I encourage you to do so. Take a moment this week to discern how God is calling you to share your time, talents, and treasure. Extra cards are available in the pews, and you can also fill one out online through our parish website.

May God continue to bless you as you seek to follow His call in your life — and become ALL SAINTS!
