Office Notice Tri-Parish

Book of the Names of the Dead

Christian communities remember the names of their dead, in prayers of intercession, and on anniversaries.

The names of those who are called saints are chanted in litany as we approach Baptism and other central moments in the life of the Church. Especially in November, from All Saints Day until Thanksgiving, many parishes give a place of special honor in their church to the book containing the names of the dead.

At our Parishes you may write the names of those you wish to remember in this special book at the back of each church.

Father’s Reflection

The Beatitudes: The Path to Holiness

November 1, 2026

In this Sunday's Gospel, Jesus gives us the Beatitudes, a beautiful yet challenging description of what it means to live as children of God. He calls the poor in spirit, the meek, those who mourn, the merciful, the peacemakers, and those who hunger and thirst for righteousness blessed. These are not the qualities the world often celebrates, yet Jesus teaches us that they lead us to true happiness and holiness.
