Thirty-Second Sunday in Ordinary Time

One of our core beliefs as a Christian community is in the resurrection of the dead. Each time we profess our faith whether it is the Apostles' Creed, the Nicene Creed, or our baptismal promises, we announce that we believe in the Resurrection - Christ's on the third day, and our own at the end of time. The month of November is a time when we particularly recall those "who have gone before us with the sign of faith." We honor the countless of unnamed saints who already share in the blessedness of the heavenly kingdom. And we pray for the many who have died that they too may enjoy eternal light, happiness, and peace. Our belief in the Resurrection unites us in a communion of faith that is beyond the grave. And we pray that we may all come to the everlasting dwelling place in heaven.
