This week, we will honor and remember all of the Saints and Souls in Heaven, especially our patron saint, St. Charles Borromeo, and our late devoted parishioner Frances X. Gates.
We have prepared a Novena prayer guide for you to use over the 9 days leading up to St. Charles Day on November 4th. If it is possible, attend all or as many of the 9 days of Masses between this Sunday and next Monday, where we will pray the Novena together, or pray the prayer for each day.
