Dear Parishioners,
Throughout the month of November, the Catholic Church reminds us that
the Church comprises not only those who are living here on earth, but also we remember those who have gone before us in death. In the words of St. Paul, “whether
we live or die, we belong to the Lord.” And so throughout the month of November,
we are encouraged to pray for the dead, to visit the cemetery, and to offer Masses
for the repose of the soul of our departed. As we begin this new month of November, the first celebration is that of the Solemnity of All Souls Day. When we die,
our bodies are buried for we return to the dust from which we came; but we also
acknowledge and proclaim that our souls continue living in the resurrection of the
dead. We are not sure of what happens after death except that the particular judgment will take place in the life of each individual. This judgment will lead to entrance into heaven either immediately or after a period of purification or to eternal
damnation. At death, our time of trial is over. The particular judgment will reveal
us for what we are; we will see our lives as God sees them. One of the poets writes:
“if you insist on having your own way, you will get it. Hell is the enjoyment of our
own way forever. If you really want God’s way, you will get it in heaven.” In the
meantime, let us all pray for each other, as well as those who continue to prepare
themselves for heaven as they purify themselves of all selfishness and selfcenteredness.
As we remember the dead during this month of November, I ask for your
continual support of the Quincy Catholic Cemeteries. There are special envelopes
included in your packet of envelopes and your donations to assist our cemeteries
can be place in any collection during this month of November. As you should be
aware, we use these differing collections to help us improve our cemetery facilities.
The monies received for burials and burial plots help in the upkeep of the cemetery
but cannot assist in any type of general improvements. Therefore, we ask for your
help both in November and in May (Memorial Day). If you can assist us, we would
appreciate it.
We will also be celebrating our Mass of Remembrance at the 9:30 a.m.
Mass on Sunday, November 2nd. During this Mass, we will remember all the parishioners who have died during this past year—since this time last year. We also
will be remembering throughout our November Masses, all those persons who are
listed in our Book of the Dead. This book is located at the altar of St. Joseph.
We will be having coffee and donuts this Sunday and we ask parishioners
who are present to come and join us for this type of fellowship with each other. We
will also be highlighting some differing ministries in our parish and we ask you to
peruse their tables, and perhaps inquire as to how you might be able to share your
gifts and talents with them. Once again our annual stewardship renewal will soon
be taking place and we would enjoy having many, if not all, sign up for the many

Fr. Leo’s column continued
differing ministries here at St. Peter Church. Stewardship means more than having people’s names on our
books but true stewardship encourages and challenges
all parishioners to get involved in sharing their time,
talents, and treasures with us. Doug Greenwell will be
speaking at all the Masses this weekend, introducing us
once again to the stewardship renewal that will soon be
taking place.
We received all the permissions for our new PA
system to be put in place. Now we wait for the company who will be doing our work to schedule us—
hopefully with work being completed by Thanksgiving
Day.
We haven’t received the final tally for the TEC
collection; our October count is now complete; and
sometime during the month of November we will be
having special envelopes for the annual CYO collection. This collection will take place on the weekend of
November 22-23rd. More details later.
