Tomorrow is All Souls Day. The earthly Church prays for the Church in Purgatory in hope of a reunion in Heaven. We will have 3 Masses at 7:30am, 12:10pm & 7:00pm.

On Oct. 13, 1917, tens of thousands of spectators watched the sun "dance" in the sky, what now is known as "The Miracle of the Sun." It was part of a series of apparitions of Our Lady of Fatima, sent as a message of mercy from God.

Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us! https://www.ewtn.com/fatima/

All holy men and women, so close to us yet still so far, gather our prayers to yourselves and intercede in heaven on our behalf. May our holy desires be accomplished through that chorus of prayers you constantly present to the Father surrounded by all His angels in heaven. #AllsaintsDay2020

Father in Heaven, Creator of all and source of all goodness and love, please look kindly upon us and receive our heartfelt gratitude in this time of giving thanks. Thank you for all the graces and blessings. You have betowed upon us, spiritual and temporal: our faith and religious heritage.

Dear Father, in Your infinite generosity, please grant us continued graces and blessing throu...ghout the coming year. This we ask in the Name of Jesus, Your Son and our Brother. Amen. Happy Thanksgiving from the Cathedral Pastoral Team. Praying for God’s blessings and grace in each of your homes.

Saint John Henry Newman, from your place in heaven, we ask that your virtues of serenity amid controversy, of erudition amid confusion, and of steadfastness amid attacks provide a holy example to all Christians to persevere in seeking the truth.

Our Lady of the Rosary, we implore your intercession day in and day out, in the morning and in the evening, because we love to say your name and you love to hear us invoke you. You defeated vast armies seeking to destroy the Church. Help us to conquer our sins.
