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.

For the last few years the Catholic Mirror has brought into our homes many inspiring and informative stories, celebrating all this is good about our Faith tradition in our diocese.

Please do your part, you have the opportunity to make a donation that will benefit our parish’s share of the Catholic Mirror expense. It costs our parish about $1,500.00 per year to have this magazine delivered into your home, so please prayerfully consider making a donation and help keep the Good News coming! 

In your envelope sets you will find a yellow envelope for Catholic Mirror dated October 7th. Please consider using this envelope to help offset the cost to the parish for your subscription. Also, if anyone would like to be added or removed from the Catholic Mirror list, please call Susan at our parish office.

We, in the United States, hear the clarion call of the Holy Spirit, through the Immaculata, and each of us sound the reply:

“I’m Going In!”

The time is now to call upon God, through the powerful intercession of Our Lady of the Rosary,     to heal our country and return it to holiness.

Americans across the country are invited to pray Rosary Coast to Coast wherever they can gather:alongtheUScoastsandborders;infront

ofstatecapitols;inotherpublicareas;inparishChurches;orasfamilieswhileviewingthelive-stream of the National Rosary Rally. Rosary Coast to Coast will take place at 4 pm Eastern, 3 pm Central,      2 pm Mountain, 1 pm Pacific.

The intentions echo those of the USCCB Call to Prayer for Life, Marriage and Religious Liberty. Individual letters introducing Rosary Coast to Coast have been sent to all active Bishops across all US dioceses requesting their endorsement and support.

As we read in Sacred Scripture: “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven,            and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14 

Please join Deacon Paul for the blessing of animals in commemoration of the Feast day of St. Francis of Assisi on October 6th at 8:00am and again at 1:00pm. Both blessing times will take place in the upper parking lot of All Saints Church. St. Francis said, “Be praised, my Lord through all creatures.” Please come and have your animals blessed so that our Lord may be glorified through their presence. Please arrive for the blessing before or at the time it begins. Also, some animals may be more comfortable receiving their blessing in their vehicle and that is okay. 

Parish Envelopes are on the back table for the months of Oct., Nov., Dec.,

They are listed in numerical order. In 2019, our envelopes will be for the calendar year. 

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,
Back in June a proposal was made by a Parish Council to do some project with stained glass windows. I shared the idea with our Bishop and his building commission. We get a two quotes from different companies. After consultation with Our Finance Council, I made a decision to proceed just with one project. This project will be dedicated in memory of Father Fitzgerald. 
We have received already donation of $5000.00 from his family toward this project.  

Will be no special collection for this project. Everyone who would like to be a part of this project is asked to make a check to All Saints Parish with a memo:
Satined Glass Restoration - Sacristy.
Thank You, Fr. Piotr 



Proposal for the replacement of four Sacristy ventilator frames and stained glass restoration from Guarducci Stained Glass Studios, Great Barrington, MA.

 There are four Sacristy ventilators to be replaced. These are a hundred plus years old, they do not seal out the weather well and they do not operate well, also they can be easily destroyed be a wind or not carful way of opening them. We propose to replace the frames with new Sussman Series 300 double glazed ventilator frames made specifically for stained glass windows. These will be top latched, project in style in a dark bronze paint finish with exterior mounted screens.

The restored windows are transported to the building and reinstalled in the new ventilators. Digital photographs will be taken throughout the project and two CD copies provided.

The work will proceed as follows:
• The stained glass panels will be numbered, removed from the frames and transported to our studio for complete restoration of the panels and re-sizing to fit the new frames.

• The old steel frames will be removed from the building and the opening will be temporarily secured with plywood. The replacement frames will be ordered to fit.

• The new frames will be installed in the openings, plumbed and anchored into the woodwork with stainless steel screws. The exterior will be caulked with urethane sealant and the interior with siliconized acrylic caulk.

• The restored stained glass panels will be set into the ventilator frames, have the support bars installed and be caulked with siliconized acrylic sealant.

• New 1/4” thick clear plate glass will be installed on the exterior and vented as the protective glazing.

• The removed frames and any debris will be properly disposed of and the work areas will be left in a clean condition.

• All labor, materials, scaffolding, transportation and insurance necessary to complete the project are included.

The total cost to restore the four panels and replace the ventilators will be ……$ 10,110.00.
