All Saints Sunday
Reading of Names on All Saints DayEvery year on All Saints day, we read a list of names of the beloved people in our lives, who have passed away. If you would like a name or names read aloud during our upcoming All Saints Day service, on a list that we call the necrology, please send those names to Jon+ at jfeuss@stjla.org by this Saturday.

Thanksgiving at our Soup KitchenIt's so hard to believe, but Thanksgiving is right around the corner! And as many of you know, our Great Food program always puts on a full-on banquet the day after Thanksgiving complete with turkey, sides, pies, and so much more.
