Solemnity of All Saints
The month of November is dedicated to the Holy Souls in Purgatory. The Church commemorates all her faithful children who have departed from this life, but have not yet attained the joys of heaven. St. Paul warns us that we must not be ignorant concerning the dead, nor sorrowful, “even as others who have no hope … For the Lord Himself shall come down from heaven … and the dead who are in Christ shall rise.
Saints Have a Past; Sinners Have a Future

Today we honor all the saints. They are our models and heroes in our life as Christians. They give us inspiration and encouragement in our struggle to overcome sins and grow in holiness. The saints were also sinners just like us. But they firmly resolved to turn away from sin and faithfully follow the Lord. If they were able to do it, we also can, by the grace of God.
PINE BELT CATHOLIC
Our Theology on Tap event was a tremendous success! The turnout was incredible – a notably large group of young adults from surrounding parishes, diverse backgrounds, and varying ages attended for a night of community and connection!! It certainly illustrated the need for this type of community, and we are excited to see where the Lord leads our efforts!
