"It is a holy and wholesome thought to pray for
the dead that they may be loosed from their sins."
In a few weeks time, we will be starting to ask for nominations for membership on the Parish Pastoral Council (PPC), to replace those who stepped down recently after a number of years of faithful service. We thank them for all their good work over the years, and we look forward to appointing new members to the PPC. Members are appointed to serve a three year term and membership is open to active parishioners over the age of 16. The Council is a planning body of parishioners which fosters the full participation of the entire parish in the life and mission of the Church as lived out in St. Andrew’s Parish. In consultation with the Parish Priest, the PPC actively listens to and identifies the needs and concerns of parishioners and helps develop a plan to respond to those needs. Please think about who you would like to nominate to become a member of the PPC. We are particularly looking for parishioners who would represent, on the PPC, the youth of the parish.

Remember the Dead—Praying for the dead, especially during the month of November, reminds us that the Church is not confined to this world, but extends into the next as well.  By praying for the dead, as we prayed for them while they were alive, we can establish a special link with the “communion of saints”.  The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass will be offered up every day during the month of November for the Holy Souls. Please feel free to enter names of departed loved ones in the book of remembrance.
