On Saturday, October 29th, a “Mass” using the new words of the 3rd edition of the Roman Missal will be held at 9:00 am in the church. The “Mass” will be instructional, rather than an actual Eucharist, with the goal of allowing participates to hear and respond with the new words while also learning the meaning of the new words. All are welcome.

Next weekend of October 15th/16th is Friends Sunday at St. Aloysius. On this weekend we are encouraging parishioners to reach out to a friend, neighbor, co-worker or family member and invite him or her to church. Sometimes it only takes a simple invitation – a word of welcome – to bring someone to God. So bring a friend with you to church the weekend of October 15th and 16th. They will thank you for it.

“Building our Future”

The 2011 Parish Ministry Fair will be held after the 8:00AM and 11:00AM Masses on Sunday, October 16, 2011.

The Ministry Fair affords all parishioners the opportunity to see all of our ministries in one place and learn about them. Plan on attending and most especially plan on learning about a ministry whereby you can be a part of Building our Future through the use of your God-given gifts.
