St. Ann s Parish 30th Sunday in Ordinary Time October 29, 2017 Should Catholics Celebrate Halloween? This week of course we celebrate Halloween. You may have encountered people who try to tell us that Christians should not celebrate Halloween because it glorifies evil and witchcraft and teaches children to embrace them. Well, my response to this is simple: Hockey Feathers! What better way to show that we do not fear Satan than mocking him? Remember, Halloween is short for All Hallows Eve, the night before All Saints Day. I like to think of it as saying to evil forces, Go ahead! Have your last hurrah, for tomorrow as we honor all the saints you will be tormented by your own decision to reject God! Catholics, then, of all people should most definitely celebrate Halloween! There are a few warnings, however, that we must observe! One is to remember that All Saints Day is a Holyday of Obligation, so we must make sure we attend Mass on November 1 st. Celebrating Halloween without celebrating All Saints Day misses the whole point! Secondly, this is especially for the junior high crowd damaging people and property is not an appropriate part of Halloween! Mock evil, don t participate in it! Finally and this is usually a caution we must remind adult revelers make sure your costume is not insulting to any good people, is not of a filthy nature, and is appropriate for you to be wearing. Imagine down the line if your child should find a photo of you in your costume! How would you explain THAT?! So go out and trick or treat, have fun at a Halloween party, but keep it safe, keep it clean, keep it appropriate, and GO TO MASS FOR ALL SAINTS DAY!!! Dear St. Ann s Parishioners, May the Lord give you His peace! Thank you for your generous support of our Pater Noster food pantry for the poor. As we approach Thanksgiving, we are hoping to provide our neighbors with food for a special meal, and so although we are most happy to receive any donation of non-perishable food, we wanted to share our specific need for: cans of corn, green beans, sweet potatoes, and cranberry sauce; boxes of mashed potatoes and stuffing; gravy packets (NO GLASS), and non-perishable dessert items (cookies or hostess cakes). We would also gratefully receive any financial contributions to defray the cost of turkeys. We will gladly receive these items through the weekend of, November 11 th and 12 th. We pray that god will reward your generosity abundantly. Gratefully in Jesus, The Franciscan Sisters of the Renewal Congratulations! Congratulations to our newest altar servers who were installed at Mass last weekend: Casey Ennis Evan Levendos Laureta Lukic Sean Twomey May you always serve God well at His altar and in your daily life!
