Dia de Los Muertos 

St. Mary's will be celebrating Dia de Los Muertos with a special Mass and rosary on Monday, November 2nd. 

The rosary will be bilingual and will begin at 5:15pm, followed by a bilingual Mass at 6:00pm.

That weekend (10/31-11/02), there will be an ofrenda set up in the narthex, where parishioners can place a photo of their loved ones who have passed. So bring your photos (8x10 inch or smaller) to place on the ofrenda for the month of November. 

You may also bring a candle (battery-powered only), but please, no food or personal items. 

Be sure to write your name on the back of the photo and the bottom of the candles so they can easily be returned to you at the end of the month.

The Knights of Columbus Council 3145 presents to you the Silver Rose. The rose is making a Pilgrimage stop right here in our Parish. 

The journey of the silver rose begins each year in March and ends on Dec. 12, the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe. During that time, Silver Roses travel from town to town along eight routes throughout North America. Several of those routes begin in Canada and end in Mexico.
 
 The rose ends its pilgrimage at the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Monterrey on Dec. 12, the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Today, due to the popularity of the program throughout the North American continent, eight silver roses travel unique routes.
