On this Holy Day of Obligation, we, the entire Church, come together in thanksgiving to God for giving courage and strength to so many throughout human history, helping them live and proclaim their faith in God and thus, leaving us with examples of how to live our faith. To make this a special day, we invite you Moms and Dads, to dress your little ones in "saints dress" and present them at Mass. Hope to see you here!

Inviting everyone to join us in prayer for all of our loved ones who have left this world, praying that they be in the presence of God for all of eternity. Join us at our 5:00 PM Mass and bring a picture of your beloved deceased (write your name and phone number on the back) and place it on the special "altar" we will have prepared. Let us pray that they all may "rest in peace".

Archbishop Gustavo invites all the faithful to join him in this year's Assembly: "Building a Catholic Culture of Accompaniment". This takes place at St. Mary's University from 8:00 AM to 3:30 PM. To register: www.TheAssembly@ArchSA.org or call 210-734-1911. Cost is $25.00 per person.

On this special day, let us remember all the men and women who served in the military, serving to provide for us a way of life and the freedom to live it. Let's remember them in prayer that they may receive God's blessings for their service; and let us pray that we may always be grateful unto them.

Thanksgiving: a day to give thanks to our Lord for all of the blessings received. We may not be rich in a monetary sense, or perhaps one is; regardless, we have our life, we have our families and friends, we have our freedom and so much more. We do indeed have reason(s) to be grateful. In prayer, let us express our gratitude. Join us at our Mass of thanksgiving.
