The Diocese of Arlington invites you to take part in a powerful witness of our faith from November 9–16 for the first Diocesan Week of Service, a time dedicated to putting Love in Action through Service in Community.

Rooted in the Gospel and inspired by the Spiritual and Corporal Works of Mercy, our parishes and ministries are joining together to bring Christ to our neighbors by serving individuals and families who are most in need—spiritually, emotionally, and physically. From feeding the hungry and visiting the sick, to comforting the sorrowful and praying for the living and the dead, this week calls each of us to live our faith in concrete and compassionate ways. Join us in being the hands and heart of Christ to others. Let’s serve with purpose, pray with hope, and grow together in the love of God.

At All Saints Parish, we have recognized that loneliness is something that affects so many people. After consultation with Pastoral Council and others, we have decided to write cards to those in assisted living facilities and nursing homes.

Our students in All Saints Catholic School will assist in this effort. The cards will be delivered, each with a flower, to residents of the various facilities in our parish at which we have monthly Masses. Alexandra Luevano is organizing this effort.

We invite parishioners to reach out to their neighbors who may be alone and lonely by talking to them, giving them some small token of remembrance, or encouraging them during this Week of Service. Let us accompany these efforts with prayer.

All Saints offers the Sacrament of Reconciliation on the following dates:

• Wednesday, October 29 – 6:30-8:00 PM
• Saturday, November 1 – 3:00-4:00 PM

First Friday
For the First Friday of each month, we have the following schedule:

Confession – after 7:00 AM Mass
Confession –  7:00 – 7:45 PM
Mass in Spanish – 8:00 PM

Please note that for the morning confessions, once we have posted a sign that the confession line is closed, please do not enter the line. This will allow us to finish those who have already been waiting in line and will allow the priests to finish before the 8:30 AM Mass. One should not miss a part of the Mass (for example, the Liturgy of the Word or the Liturgy of the Eucharist) due to being in Confession. Also, please do not put “placeholders” for a place in line, such as a hymnal on the floor, during Mass. We ask those in line to be considerate of others. Thank you

Todos los Santos ofrece el Sacramento de la Reconciliación en las siguientes fechas:

• Miércoles 29 de Octubre – 6:30-8:00 PM
• Sábado, 1 de Noviembre – 3:00-4:00 PM

Primer Viernes
Para el primer viernes de cada mes, tenemos el siguiente horario:

Confesiones – Después de la misa de 7:00 AM 
Confessions – 7:00 – 7:45 PM 
Misa en Español  – 8:00 PM 

Tenga en cuenta que para las confesiones de la mañana, una vez que hayamos colocado un letrero de que la línea de confesión está cerrada, no ingrese a la línea. Esto nos ermitirá terminar con aquellos que ya han estado esperando en la fila y permitirá que los sacerdotes terminen antes de la Misa de las 8:30 AM. No se debe perder una parte de la isa (por ejemplo, la Liturgia de la Palabra o la Liturgia de la Eucaristía) por estar en Confesión. Además, no coloque “marcadores de posición” para un lugar en la fila, como un himnario en el piso, durante la misa. Les pedimos a los que están en la fila que sean considerados con los demás. Gracias.

The scheduling of Mass intentions at All Saints Parish is done through the parish office. Please note the following:

• Scheduled Masses — — If you are a parishioner and would like to have a Mass offered for someone, please come by the parish office on Wednesday – Thursday, November 20-21, from 10:00 – 11:45 AM and 1:00–2:30 PM. To expedite matters, you may come by the parish office and pick up envelopes early and then fill them out at home; in this way when you come in, you’ll be ready to go.

  We receive many requests for the limited number of Masses offered each year. In view of this fact and the size of our parish, to ensure some fairness in the procedure, we are asking that each family limit their Mass Intentions to no more than fifteen (15) scheduled Masses per year. The customary Mass stipend in the Province of Baltimore, to which the Arlington Diocese belongs, is $10.00

• Unscheduled Masses — If you wish to have other Masses offered for an individual or need, an unscheduled Mass will be offered within a short period of time by a priest of the parish or sent to a priest in a seminary, campus ministry, retreat house, or the missions.
• Purgatorial Society — Deceased family members and friends of our parish may be enrolled as a member of the Purgatorial Society of All Saints Catholic Church, and as such will be remembered in a special Mass each month for one year. Suggested Mass donation is $20.00.
• All Saints and St. Gabriel Mission — Mass intentions for Masses at All Saints Church will be taken at the All Saints parish office. Mass intentions for Masses at St. Gabriel Mission will be taken at the St. Gabriel Pastoral Center, Manassas Park.
