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!
