THANKSGIVING DAY
This coming Thursday we will show this manner of courtesy to each other as we gather as family and friends in gratitude to give “Thanks” for the many blessings received during the last year. In our Roman Catholic Tradition we do so each and every time we gather around the Altar to celebrate "the Eucharist" (which literary means "Thanksgiving"). This Thursday, November 26 we will have our Annual Bilingual Thanksgiving Day Mass. A collection taken will go to benefit the work of the St. Vincent de Paul Society. There will be no 7:45 AM or 7:00 PM masses that day, but the Adoration Chapel will be open for prayer. I do invite you to plan ahead and take one hour or so that day and come to the 9:00 AM to be part of this very special parochial festivity in order to begin this civic holiday in a sacred way, truly giving ‘Thanks’ to Almighty God through the Eucharistic Meal. For each new morning with its light, For rest and shelter of the night, For health and food, for love and friends, For everything Thy goodness sends. (Ralph Waldo Emerson) HAPPY THANKSGIVING DAY! Fr. Alex, omi
