Happy All Hallow’s Eve Saints!
On the weekend of our parish feast day, there are so many great things for us to participate in. Here is your definitive guide:
Today - Halloween: If you are trick or treating the Woodstock businesses, be sure to stop by All Saints where we will be giving out glow necklaces, candy and/or fruit snacks.
Friday - All Saints: All Saints Day is November 1. Though we transfer the holiday to the closest Sunday in our worship services, it still can be a day of remembrance. Along those lines, since Dia de los Muertos begins on Oct 31 and ends on Nov 2, you can check out some of the different ways to celebrate in Portland here.
Saturday: Fall leaf raking party at the church from 9am to noon. We have tasks for all ages and abilities. Help us get the grounds looking great for our feast day and the bishop’s visit.
All Saints Sunday: We will have opportunities for honoring our departed and celebrating the Communion of Saints at both services. Worshippers will have the opportunity to light a candle in remembrance of loved ones. The 10:15 service will be a high mass with incense, followed by lunch in the Parish Hall (bring a salad to share if you can).
Also, our parish survey and pledge drive wrap up this week, so please complete and/or bring those with you by Sunday.
Looking forward to a great weekend with you all!
