Our children are invited to come to church dressed as a saint. Each child should also prepare a few words about his saint’s story. We will assemble in Helfta Hall at 8:50 AM and begin the procession a few minutes later. After we process into church the children may go to be seated with their family for Mass. Some of the children will give a little presentation on their saints, and all of the children are invited to a little party. Prizes for the best costume in each age level will be awarded.

There are no catechism classes. They will resume on Sunday, November 5th.

The Blessed Sacrament will be exposed after the 11:30 AM MAss. Adoration continues all afternoon and concludes with Vespers, October Devotions and Benediction at 4:30 PM.
