All Saints Catholic Church

Adoration:

Please note the adoration will now be from 5-6 on the first Friday of the month 

The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is a process through which adults learn about the teachings of Jesus as the Catholic Church has handed them on and put these teachings into practice by living as part of the Catholic community, serving others and praying. RCIA is for three groups of people:

Those who have never been baptized in any faith,
People who were baptized in another Christian faith, and
Baptized Catholics who have never received the Sacraments of Confirmation and Eucharist.

For more information please speak to a priest after Mass or call the parish office. We would love to help you on your journey to a deeper relationship with Christ and His Church.

As you may know we are starting a Hot Homemade Meal Delivery program here at All Saints Church called Take and Eat. 
We would like to know if you know anyone (yourselves included) who would benefit for getting a hot homemade meal once a month every first Saturday. 

There is no charge for the meal and there are no qualifications in getting the meal. Just asking for it is enough. 

Please call the rectory office  and give the name and address of the person or persons who would like to receive the meal. 

We will build this program based on the Gospel of Jesus Christ "I was hungry and you gave me food, a stranger and you welcomed me, ill and you cared for me."

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Words cannot express how thankful I am to Bishop Rozanski, Sponors of the baskets raffles, Charbonneau Funeral Home, Altar Servers, Lectors, Barry for decoration and music, Deacon Paul and Deacon Gibby, Guests priests, Franciscans Sisters of the Eucharist, Kitchen Crew, Senior Youth Group, Parish Council Members, Cemetery Crew along with those who helped them, and everyone who helped to make our Celebration of All Saints Week so special. 

God bless you and Thank You.

Fr. Piotr

Advent is a special time of year to gain spiritual fruits, particularly peace and joy. A special mediator of these graces is our Blessed Mother Mary. In her humanity, she responded with virtue in a special way when the Lord Jesus entered into her life. Her response teaches us lessons that we can best learn from her in the history of salvation. 

Ascension offers a new program specifically written to help Catholics prepare for Jesus’ birth as Mary did. It guides you through Mary’s experiences and encounters and sheds light on how they relate to our preparation for Christmas. This program is called Rejoice! Advent Meditations with Mary, from Fr. Mark Toups. It pairs thought-provoking and meaningful meditations with beautiful artwork and encouraging, inspirational videos. 

This year, we have the opportunity to share these engaging Marian Advent reflections in video and journal form through Ascension’s Rejoice! Program. We will be holding an Advent Mission Night on Friday, November 30, 2018 at 6:30 pm in the Chapel at All Saints Church. It’s an opportunity to draw more intentionally into the season of Advent and to obtain the grace associated with Advent devotion. 

Join us on November 30 for these popular Marian reflections and exercises on Advent.
