Fr. Hien's Weekly Letter 09/24/2023

My Dear Parishioners,
Are you ready for October?  Yes, it’s near and we will have many events going on this month.  First, please sign up to have your family picture taken on October 6th-7th, or one of these dates on November 1st-2nd, and finally 24th-25th.  Your family picture will be ready for you and your family before Christmas.  The 8x10 professional picture is free to you and to any family, including families that don't belong to our church or school. 
The pictorial company is inviting anyone to take their photos for the good of their family.  At All Saints, we want to love and welcome everyone to our church and school so that we can grow together in faith and in love of God and neighbors.  So, yes, we welcome you all.  The last time we had our pictorial directory done was in 2018, five years ago. 
It’s time for us to do our duty by having family pictures taken for the good of our families and also for the good of our church.  Please know that you do not have to buy additional pictures, unless you want to.  Second, we are only two weeks away from the All Saints Marian Day on Saturday, October 7th.  Everyone is welcome to join us and our school for lots of fun activities beginning 3pm Friday and all day Saturday.  Please notice that the 4pm Mass on that Saturday is going to be at 3pm, followed by the Eucharistic procession with the statue of Mary.  Bishop Kemme will be the celebrant for Mass and the procession.  We will provide free dinner to everyone outdoors.  Special thanks to our Knights for cooking the food and the Altar Society for serving desserts and drinks.  Everyone is welcome to join us, regardless of your religion, race or language.  Please pray for All Saints so that we will be blessed with many generous hands and hearts to help us
celebrate our faith and to share God’s blessings with others, especially the non-Catholics that need hope and faith in them and their families.  We all will be saints in heaven if today we hear His voice and share His love with others.  We live to lead all people to Jesus.  Jesus loves us all, and I love you too, Fr. Hien
