FAITH FORMATION NEWS

Monthly Packets - Packet pick up is this weekend October 24/25

after both Masses. If you did not get your packet, please contact

Leslie Reagle to coordinate a time to pick up your child’s packet

for November. We will be doing activities highlighting All Saints

Day.

Prayer Focus - Praying for the dead - especially those in our own

families. In the Christian liturgical calendar, November is en-

tirely devoted to the deceased. That’s why it is dubbed “Month

of the Dead”. Most celebrations occur at the beginning of the

month: November 1st is All Saints’ Day, a tribute to all saints,

while November 2nd is All Souls’ Day, dedicated to praying for

the dead.

2nd Grade - Fact to face classes for our 2nd grade students con-

tinues. It is every Sunday from 9am - 10:15am.

Tuition - We still have a few families who did not pay for reli-

gious education - if you are able to do this please put it in an en-

velope and put it in the collection basket indicating it is for Faith

Formation. This helps cover the cost of books and printing costs.

$20 per child, $60 per family max. Please return your registration

papers if you have not done that as well. We want to wrap up

collecting registration papers and fee collections this month.

Thank you.

Leslie Reagle, Faith Formation Director

Thirtieth Sunday in Ordinary Time October 25, 2020

Feast of Saint Simon and Saint Jude,

Apostles

October 28th is the feast of Saint Simon the

Zealot and Saint Jude Thaddeus, two of the

twelve Apostles named by Jesus. They share

a common feast day because, according to

later tradition, they ministered in Persia and

there, received the crown of martyrdom on the same day in c.

65AD.

*****************************************************

ALL SAINTS’ DAY

All Saints’ Day, also called All Hal-

lows’ Day, Hallowmas, or Feast of All

Saints, in the Christian Church, a day

commemorating all the saints of the

Church, both known and unknown, who

have attained heaven. It is celebrated on

November 1st, and is a holy day of obligation.

The origin of All Saints’ Day cannot be traced with certainty, and

it has been observed on various days in different places. A feast

of all martyrs was kept on May 13 in the Eastern church accord-

ing to Ephraem Syrus, which may have determined the choice of

May 13 by Pope Boniface IV when he dedicated the Pantheon in

Rome as a church in honor of the Blessed Virgin and all martyrs

in 609. The first evidence for November 1 date of celebration and

of the broadening of the festival to include all saints as well as all

martyrs occurred during the reign of Pope Gregory III, who dedi-

cated a chapel in St. Peter’s, Rome on November 1 in honor of all

saints.

Realign Resources for Mission Meeting

On Monday November 16th at 7:00pm the Diocese of Lansing

Realign Resources for Mission Committee will be meeting with

St. Catherine Laboure and Queen of the Miraculous Medal parish-

ioners in an effort to explain the reason, rational and methodology

of the Realign Resources for Mission process and, most impor-

tantly, to listen to parishioners response of the process and how it

could, potentially, impact our parish positivity or negatively.

The meeting will take place at Queen’s Gym and will be ap-

proximately 90 minutes long. The meeting will consist of two

components: First, a presentation on behalf of the RRM Commit-

tee; Second, small group discussion followed by feedback from

parishioners on your hopes and fears for the process; what you

love or feel needs to be known about our parish; and any specific

suggestions you may have for the future of our parish and the

diocese. All are most welcome.
