We celebrate Mother’s Day in the month of May every year; we celebrate Father’s Day in the month of June and on the 4^th Thursday of November every year, we celebrate Thanksgiving Day. The Church has offered us an opportunity on All Souls Day, November 2^nd, and all through the month of November to pray for all our deceased loved ones. Some of them are already in heaven and some are in purgatory. The fate of those in Purgatory depend on the prayers, Masses and good works we offer up for them.

The Knights of Columbus will be hosting their annual Turkey Bingo, Sunday, November 10, at the Bosque Farms Rodeo Arena. Two sessions, 1 pm and 5 pm. Cost $10/20 games. Tickets will be sold after the Masses.

The Parish Office will be closed Monday, November 11th for Veterans Day. Thank you.

Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish is hosting a Ministry Appreciation Dinner on November 24th, to show all ministers how much the entire parish appreciates them. The dinner will be held after the 11:15 am Mass, and each minister will be allowed to bring one guest. We ask that you contact the Parish Office as soon as possible to get on the list because we are limited to 185 seats. The last day to accept reservations will be November 19th.  We are thankful to all our ministers for being a part of the different ministries in our parish. You help us to grow and prosper each day. Thank you.

The 2nd Annual Wreaths Across America Event is just around the corner. Patsy Vega and her Wreaths Across America Committee did such a wonderful job of getting this event together last year for all the fallen/deceased veterans in our cemetery. Patsy will begin selling wreaths after all the Masses. Wreaths will be $15 with part of the proceeds going to our cemetery. If you’d like to purchase a wreath or have any questions, please call the Parish Office.

Special thanks to all those who have returned their pledge cards for the building of our New Parish Hall and Faith Formation Complex and God bless.
