“Seems as if with the coming of November we are already approaching the holiday season. The 1st of November is the Feast of All Saints. Because it falls on the weekend, it is not a day of obligation, but we will celebrate the Solemnity with Mass at MPH at 9 am. People from Assumption are welcome and encouraged to attend. I feel I (the parish) should join in the Main Street Trick or Treat on Friday to help provide a safe activity, and treats, for our children - so all are welcome to join me in their favorite Saint’s costume. Sunday, Nov. 2, is All Souls Day. We will be inviting everyone to commemorate your faithful departed with a special ceremony that day. Our Chamois Area Ecumenical Thanksgiving Service will be Sunday, Nov. 23, at 4 pm. We will be hosting it here at MPH, as the new UCC pastor will be preaching. We look forward to your participation and help in hosting a reception afterwards.”…Fr. Dave
