Dear Friend,
The cool crisp air of Autumn is upon us! Everything seems to be pumpkin spiced and the falling leaves remind us that most things change from time to time. But what endures? What is constant?
The leaves are but furnishings upon the trees who themselves stand firm through the harshness of Winter and will be renewed in the Spring. The tingle of the cold is only an attribute upon the constant - the very air that we breathe. Indeed, there are some things upon which we can truly depend, like our faith, like love, like kindness. Let us trust in these constants as the dance of creation scurries around us in splendid color.
Below are a few key notifications for Saint Andrew Parish for the week ahead.

Join us for Trunk or Treat
The Saint Andrew School Board is pleased to announce the return of Trunk-or-Treat - a fun Parish event that will allow the young (and young at heart) to trick-or-treat from trunk-to-trunk in the Parish parking lot. The event will be held on Sunday, October 31st at 10:00 a.m. Please join us at Mass at 9:00am or 11:00am and gather outdoor before or after as a community for Halloween fun. Costumes welcome! Also, because of this event, the Church parking lot will be closed October 31st from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m.. We apologize for any inconvenience, but hope the fun makes up for it!
Remember Our Beloved Dead
There will be a Mass of Remembrance to remember all of our beloved dead on the Feast of All Souls, Tuesday, November 2, 2021 at 7:00pm. In this year when so many people have died, there hasn’t always been the space to mourn the loss of our loved ones. Parishioners may bring photos of friends and family who have died in the past year to place on our Altar of Remembrance. During the Mass there will be a chance to light a candle in their honor. If you cannot attend, you are encouraged to send photos those recently deceased to info@standrew.org so they may be included in this year’s Altar of Remembrance.
For your convenience, we've included a copy of yesterday's bulletin below.
Take a moment to watch this past week's Saint Andrew Minute.
Or if you have a little more time, listen and pray with yesterday's homily.
