CHURCH OF THE HOLY INNOCENTS
UPCOMING MASSES & EVENTS
1. Movie
Night –
Beginning in October, Movie Night will move to
the third Fridays of each month. This
month, the movie is The Miracle of Our Lady of
Fatima, the 1952 dramatization of the story of Fatima. The movie will be shown on Friday, October 16th after
the 6 PM Mass to mark the 98th
Anniversary that week of the Miracle of the Sun at Fatima on October 13, 1917.
2. Book Club – The new book for the Holy Innocents’ Book Club is Story of a Soul: The Autobiography of St. Therese of
Lisieux. The Book Club’s next
meeting will take place on Tuesday,
October 20, 2015 after the 6 PM Mass.
Copies of the book will be available in the
parish office.
3. Forty Hours Devotion – This year, the
Church of the Holy Innocents will have its Forty
Hours Devotion on the weekend of the
Feast of Christ the King.
The opening Mass will be on Friday, October 23rd, 2015 at 6:00 PM.
On Saturday, October 24th, we will have the traditional Mass Pro
pace at 1:00 PM. The closing Mass will be coram Sanctissimo (in the Presence of the Blessed
Sacrament exposed) on Sunday, October 25 at 10:30 AM (Feast
of Christ the King).
We need
parishioners to sign up for the rotation to keep vigil before the Blessed
Sacrament on both Friday and Saturday nights.
Keep in mind that this is a very
important devotion in the life of the Church and in the life of a parish. It is also a very rare devotion these
days, when it is needed the most, especially in its traditional form.
This devotion was permanently established by Pope Clement VIII “in order that day
and night the faithful might appease their Lord by prayer before the Blessed
Sacrament solemnly exposed, imploring there His divine mercy.”
If you have never been to 40 Hours before, this will be a good
time to be part of it. If you have done it already, you can be a part again --
the more, the merrier. The devotion is to be celebrated with as much solemnity
as possible.
