| SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS |
In the Catholic tradition, the month of November is a particular time to remember deceased loved ones.
On Tuesday, November 2 (the Feast of All Souls), Campus Ministry will sponsor a special Mass in PRH 16, beginning at 1:50 pm. Also, as a symbol of our desire to keep the deceased before God, everyone is invited until the end of November to place the names of deceased loved ones in the box located in the chapel on the first floor of Padre Rubio Hall and/or to post photographs of deceased loved ones on the blue panel display in the chapel. >>

We are looking for 4-5 volunteers (for about 1 hour) to help clean and arrange the soup kitchen’s garden, and 6-7 volunteers (for about 2 hours) to help cook and serve the food.
