Dear Friend,
Last week, an announcement was made about a Parish Town Hall Meeting to discuss the Archdiocesan restructuring of Catholic parishes in our geographic region (Renew My Church).
In a subsequent meeting with the parish team of Renew My Church, it became apparent that the timeline for getting input from Saint Andrew parishioners needed to be accelerated rapidly. Therefore, the Parish Town Hall Meeting has been rescheduled to this coming Sunday, October 25, 2020 at 3:00pm.

Every effort is being made to present the contents of the meeting to you safely and efficiently as well as gathering your thoughtful feedback. You can
- attend the meeting in person (reservation required - please see below)
- watch and participate in the meeting via Zoom
- watch on our live stream without interacting personally or
- watch a recording of the meeting afterwards.
Additional discussion groups are being planned at the school. At any time, you can read the written proposed scenarios for our geographic area and provide your thoughts through our online survey. Additional follow-up meetings may take place as well based on parishioner request. The collection and collation of parishioner feedback needs to be completed by November 5, 2020.
Our Renew My Church webpage explains in greater detail how you can engage in this process and written material on the proposed scenarios. Please click on the button below to find out more and to make a reservation to attend the Parish Town Hall or visit www.standrew.org/rmc.

All Souls Day
Mass of Remembrance
Mass will be said on Monday, November 2, 2020 at 7:00pm in remembrance of all those who have died in the past year. We encourage parishioners to send in photos and names of individuals to be part of this liturgy. In a particular way, we encourage anyone who has lost friends or family to COVID to take part in this opportunity. We mourn with you in your loss and pray for their eternal peace. Please send names and photos to info@standrew.org to be included in the liturgy.
More information about attending the Mass or watching through our live stream will be made available at a later date.
Support Fr. Matthias
The pandemic has been hard on everyone. In the United States, we are fortunate that we have many resources to maintain our hospitals, churches, and schools. Those resources are harder to come by for our sister parish in Uganda who is pastored by our long time friend, Fr. Matthias Kakooza. We will hold our annual collection for our brothers and sisters in Uganda on Sunday, October 25, 2020. Donate now!
For your convenience, we've included a copy of yesterday's bulletin below.
Below is a copy of the Sunday homily given by Fr. Sergio this past Sunday.
