A message from Fr. Josh Lange

Dear Parents,

Fall Greetings! May this season be one of peace and joy for you and yours.

We are writing you today to invite you and your whole family to take part in our parish's annual Forty Hours Devotions.

All PSR families are most welcome and encouraged to attend! As 3rd and 8th grade parents, your children will have a special role in the Solemn Closing of these devotions: Sunday, November 13. As 3rd grader's, and those who made their First Holy Communion last year, your children are invited and expected to have an honored place in the procession at the Closing, which will be going outdoors: a public witness to our faith in the Lord's Eucharistic presence (weather permitting!) They are encouraged to wear their First Communion attire from last year if that is possible. As 8th graders, and those preparing to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation, your children are likewise invited and expected to have an honored place in the procession. We ask 3rd and 8th graders to meet in Kelley Hall at 3:30 PM.

This tradition is important to our parish, and it is important to us that you are there. It is a way for us to honor our Lord's True Presence in the Eucharist, and also a way for our parish to honor your children as those who are newly receiving these sacraments. Please, make this beautiful ceremony a good expression of our faith to our children and our greater community by your presence.

So make this a family event; one where you celebrate faith together. And remember, the Closing is indeed only the end of the Forty Hours. From Friday the 11th of November until the Closing on Sunday the 13th of November, the Blessed Sacrament will be exposed each day for adoration. Please sign up for adoration times in the back of church. Come and pray before the Blessed Sacrament as a family. This can be such a graced, blessed time for you, bringing you closer to the Lord and each other!

Thank you for your efforts to attend this important event. I know God will bless you for it.

In Christ,

Fr. Josh Lange
