All Saints Catholic Church

Adoration:

Please note the adoration will now be from 5-5:50 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."

The World Day of the Sick - February 11

John Paul II instituted the World Day of the Sick which would be celebrated every year on the 11th of February, a day which according to the Catholic liturgical calendar coincides with the commemoration of Our Lady of Lourdes.

The World Day of the Sick was first celebrated on the 11th of February 1993. In the letter instituting the World Day of the Sick, the Pope observed that this annual celebration would be “a special time of prayer and sharing, of offering one’s suffering for the good of the church and of reminding everyone to see in his sick brother or sister the face of Christ who,by suffering and dying and rising achieved the salvation of mankind.” In the same letter of institution, the  Holy Father reminded the entire Church and all people of good will, that “the reality of suffering and the appeal to bring both physical and spiritual relief to the sick do not concern believers alone, but challenge all mankind, marked by the limitations of the mortal condition.”

Dear Members of Our Parish,

I am happy to present you with a special booklet called All Saints Parish in Numbers and Pictures 1888 - 2018. 

At this same time I would like to Thank all those who helped me to put this  booklet together: Susan Butcher, Dustina Pelski, Nancy Talbot, Deacon James Marcus, Louise Sinico-MacDonald from the Office of the Chancellor - Diocese of Springfield and all those who shared with me some pictures of our Church on Facebook. 

This booklet is very simple but at this same time holds most important informations and only informations we have about 130 years history of our Church.

The booklet is available in the front of the Church and to help payoff the cost suggested donation is $5.00. Also the number of booklets is limited.

God Bless, Father Piotr
