Sunday, November 5, 2017, 9:45 AM - 10:45 AM How do we meet the needs of the present without compromising how future generations meet their own needs? How does Catholic teaching inform this work? Join us in Hofstede Hall for this Faith in Action Series talk titled, "Sustainable Development and Catholic Teaching." A panel including Fr. Daniel Griffith, Prof. Jerry Organ and Mark Ditter will talk about this topic. Coffee and refreshments will be available. Everyone is welcome!

All Saint's Day Masses will be held at 12:05 and 5:30 pm on Wednesday, November 1st. On Thursday, November 2, 2017 at 6:30 pm Christopher Ganza and the Lourdes Choir will perform T.L. de Victoria’s Requiem Mass. This Mass will be the celebration of All Soul’s Day, and will include the choir singing the Requiem Mass by Tomas Luis de Victoria. Join us to celebrate this Feast Day Mass: to enjoy the beautiful music and to pray remember our beloved dead in a special way. Sung parts of the Mass such as the Kyrie Eleison, and the Psalm, will be drawn from this work. Victoria’s Requiem is a beautiful setting of the text of the Requiem Mass, which reminds us that God saves us from death through the gift of eternal life, and that our departed loved ones are never closer to us that when we celebrate the Holy Eucharist. All are welcome to experience the beauty of the All Souls Mass and of Victoria’s Requiem.
