Some of our loved ones have passed on, but they may still be in need of prayer. That is why the Catholic Church dedicates the month of November to the Holy Souls in Purgatory. The ‘Poor Lost Souls’ are souls that will one day go to Heaven but are not quite ready to stand pure before God. Click on the link below for:

World Kindness Day 2021 World Kindness Day is a global day that promotes the importance of being kind to each other, to yourself, and to the world. The purpose of this day, celebrated on November 13 of each year, is to help everyone understand that compassion for others is what binds us all together. This understanding has the power to bridge the gap between nations. Learn More:

PTC is looking to light up the school for Christmas. We need a company to donate their lighting services or a generous family(ies) to donate funds. (Cost of last year’s lighting estimated at $2,500.00). If you can help, or know of someone who can, please call Lindsay Neff by Monday, November 8 at 210-464-5708. Our goal is to have all lights up by Saturday, November 27.
Coat Drive
As part of the “Faith in Action” initiative, the Knights of Columbus will be collecting your clean, slightly used coats and jackets before each Mass November 6/7 and November 13/14.
There will be a box in the church lobby for you to drop your gently used coats.
