ST. AUGUSTINE’S CHURCH NOTES

On November 1 the church celebrates the feast of All Saints. Why has the church instituted this festival? (l) To give praise to God in His saints (Ps. cl.) and to pay to the saints themselves the honor which they merit for having made it the work of their earthly life to promote the honor of God. (2) To impress vividly upon our minds that we are members of that holy church which believes in the communion of saints; that is, in the communion of all true Christians who belong to the church triumphant in heaven, to the church suffering in purgatory, or to the church militant upon earth; but more particularly, to cause us earnestly to consider the communion of the saints in heaven with us, who are yet battling on earth. (3) To exhort us to raise our eyes and hearts, especially on this day, to heaven, where before the throne of God is gathered the innumerable multitude of saints. (4) To honor those saints for whom during the year there is no special festival. Finally, that in consideration of. so many intercessors God may grant us 1 perfect reconciliation, may permit us to share in their merits and may grant the grace to enjoy with them, one day, the bliss of heaven. On this day the order of services will be as follows: First mass at* 7:30 a. m.; highmass, rosary and sermon v at 10 a. m. The Young Ladies* sodality will serve dinner at the parochial school hall, beginning at 4 o’clock. The proceeds will go to the new church fund. On November 2 the church celebrates the commemoration of all the faithful departed. The theological basis for this feast is the doctrine that the souls which, on departing from the body, are not perfectly cleansed from venial sins, or have not fully atoned for past transgressions, are debarred froTm the Beatific Vision and that the faithful on earth can help them by prayers, aimsdeeds and by the sacrifice of the mass. On this day the order of senrires will be: First mass at 6, the second at 7, and the third at 8 a. m. Next Friday is the first Friday in November. The League of the Sacred -Heart will receive holy' communion at the 8 o’clock mass.
