Save the Date - Sunday, November 28

I am very happy to announce that our parish will be hosting a special concert here on Sunday, November 28 at 3:00 p.m. It is especially dedicated to honor and thank all those who have been helping and protecting our community through the challenges of Covid in the past 20 months—all healthcare workers, civic leaders, first responders, teachers, grocery, food service, delivery and transportation workers, all essential workers, military personnel and many others!

Some of the music also honors those who have lost a loved one during this time. Each piece of music is chosen to help us reflect on what we have all been through and to thank God for His graces and mercies through it all. There are also a couple of patriotic pieces to help us remember that we are united in our care for one another.

Supported by generous donors, the concert is free to all. We are privileged to have the Bach Society for this beautiful music event. I attended their performance of these pieces a few weeks ago and I am so pleased they are willing to bring the concert to our parish.

With the date being on the Sunday of Thanksgiving weekend, some of the music perfectly fits in with the theme of Gratitude to God and all who help us through difficult times. Since the entire St. Louis metro area is invited, and due to limited seating of our church space, please make your reservation now at bachsociety.org/community21.

In Thanksgiving to God,
Fr. Jim Deiters
