November 1st is the Solemnity of All Saints. It is a holy day of obligation. There will be two Masses. We look forward to praying with you on this special feast!

Thursday, October 31st, 6:30pm (Bilingual)
Friday, November 1st, Noon

November 2nd is All Souls' Day.

Saturday, November 2nd, Noon

November 2nd is the Feast of All Souls when we remember all our loved ones who have departed this life and await the resurrection on the Last Day. This is an act of love for our family members and friends who have died.

While All Souls Day is not a holy day of obligation, it is a day of prayer when Catholics remember their deceased loved ones at Mass. All are invited to offer prayer and celebrate Mass at noon on this Saturday, November 2.

Attendance at this Mass does not meet the obligation to celebrate the Masses for Sunday. The noon Mass on November 2 does not “count” for the Saturday Vigil Mass at 430pm or the Sunday Masses at 9am or Noon.

“It is a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead that they may be freed from their sins.” (2 Maccabees 12:46)

Please join us for Divine Liturgy at 5:30pm on Sunday, October 13, 2024.

Did you ever wonder where all the great photos we send out come from? We have a parishioner who has helped us in the past. We are looking for a photographer (or two) to help us take pictures of major feasts, activities, retreats, etc. If we find two people, that would be great. They can share the responsibilities.

If you have a good eye and enjoy taking photos, please contact Cyndee at the parish office (580-536-6351) to let us know you're interested. If you know someone else who might be willing to help, please share this message with them.

Reporting Abuse/ Pastoral Abuse Hotline

The Archdiocese of Oklahoma City through its

programs, organizations and events, has numerous daily

contacts with many children and young people. It is,

therefore important that all Archdiocesan Personnel,

clergy, seminarians, religious, employees and

volunteers, protect the rights of children and be alert to

the possibility for child abuse.

Under Oklahoma State law, all individuals MUST

report an incident or suspicion of sexual abuse of a

minor (person under 18 years of age) to the civil

authorities. The Oklahoma Department of Human

Services has established a statewide abuse reporting

hotline for reporting: 1-800-522-3511. This

number is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If

you feel a child is in immediate danger of harm call

911.

For the safety of children and the healing of victims, the

Archdiocese of Oklahoma City provides an Abuse of

Minors Pastoral Response Hotline for reporting the

abuse of a minor (in the past or present) by a member of

the clergy or other church personnel:

1-405-720-9878. The Archdiocesan Victims

Assistance Coordinator, a licensed professional counselor,

will respond to calls to the Archdiocesan Pastoral Response

Hotline.

A report to the Archdiocese does not relieve the

individual of the duty to report child abuse to

civil authorities as required by Oklahoma State

Law. In Oklahoma, failure to report child abuse

is a misdemeanor punishable by law.

August 15th is a Holy Day of Obligation - the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. We will have two Masses for the feast day:

Wednesday, August 14th at 6:30pm, Vigil Mass (Bilingual) - Please note there is no noon Mass on August 14th.
Thursday, August 15th at Noon

We will see you at Mass! Have a blessed day.
