Bishop Tyson, assisted by the priests & deacons of the Diocese will offer our annual Mass to remember, celebrate & uphold our ordained clergy who have died since the foundation of our Diocese in 1951 this TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 20TH AT 5:30PM IN OUR CATHEDRAL. An opportunity not only to pray for those who have served us but also affirm our clergy who are alive & serving us now. Please plan to join us for this special celebration. Father John O’Shea, former associate here & retired pastor of Holy Spirit Parish in Kennewick will be the homilist.

Our annual Interfaith (Ecumenical) Thanksgiving Service in our Chapel, Wednesday, November 21st (Thanksgiving Eve at 7:00PM.)

SPECIAL THANKSGIVING DAY MASS at 9:00AM (No 8:00AM Mass), a wonderful way to express our gratitude to God for His multiple blessings & favors (scheduled early enough to be home for T.V. Football games).

Especially for those who would be alone on that day or have no extended family locally. THERE IS NO REASON TO BE HOME ALONE ON THANKSGIVING DAY!! Under the most capable direction of our eminent chef, Will Chichenoff & his dedicated helpers, dinner will be served in our school cafeteria (beneath the gym) this Thursday, November 22nd at 3:00PM with beverages & Hors d’oeuvres at 2:30PM. Although there is no charge, you need to sign up by Tuesday so that adequate food can be prepared. If you wish to assist in cooking & preparing this feast, please contact the parish office this week!! Also please call for reservations!!

This Sunday is the last Sunday of the Liturgical (Church) Year before we begin the Season of Advent on Sunday, December 2nd. To solemnly bring this year to a close, Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament will follow the 1:00PM Spanish Mass, extending until 6:00PM Benediction in the Chapel. Please take some time next Sunday afternoon to spend “with the Lord” thanking Him for the gifts of out past year & asking for His protection & guidance for the future.
