12:05pm, Wednesday 1 November: Feast of All Saints

https://extraordinaryform.org/propers/1101AllSaints.pdf

Confessions at 11:30. Low Mass with hymns. In order to accommodate the schedules of those who are attending in the midst of their work day… today’s brief sermon will be preached after the Final Blessing and Dismissal – and the customary prayers after a Low Mass dispensed with – so that some may hasten back to their workplaces.

Unfortunately, due to the three other Masses scheduled this day, we will be unable to offer our customary All Saints Day lunch and children’s costume event (in Enright Hall, at least)
