Follow the Mass – Today is the 24th Sunday after Pentecost, but it is NOT the “24th and Last Sunday after Pentecost” so some of the readings are taken from the 23rd Sunday, with the Epistle and Gospel taken from the 5th Sunday after Epiphany. Next Sunday’s readings will be from the 6th Sunday after Epiphany, and the week after that will be the 24th and Last Sunday after Pentecost. | |||
Benediction next week – On November 15th, the 3rd Sunday of the month, we will have Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. | |||
Bishop Faure Visit – The Sunday after Thanksgiving (November 29th) there will not be Mass at St. Dominic’s; everyone is invited to attend Bp. Faure’s Mass at Stella Maris Chapel, 1131 Delaney Rd, La Marque, TX 77568 (outside Houston) at 9:30 AM, followed by a reception and conference. Bp. Faure was consecrated by Bp. Williamson earlier this year. | |||
Catholic Faith Fact – November is the month of the Holy Souls. During the octave of All Souls Day (Nov. 2 – Nov 9) one can gain a Plenary Indulgence by visiting a cemetery and praying for the poor souls. Last week’s question: How many religious sisters were there in the United States in 1965 vs. 2014? Answer – In 1965 there were almost 180,000 nuns, but by 2014 that number was down to less than 50,000. |
