STEWARDSHIP THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK “When Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him, ‘Zacchaeus, hurry and

come down, for today I must stay at your house.’” — Luke 19:5

Jesus saw goodness in Zacchaeus’ heart and called him to be in His presence. Jesus has called all of us into His presence and awaits our thankful responses.

THE ALL SOULS MASS OF REMEMBRANCE Monsignor Al and Father Carlos cordially invite you to the bilingual All Souls Mass of Remembrance for our parishioners and family members who have died in the last year. Wednesday, November 6 at 7:00 p.m. A reception will follow in the church lower level. All are welcome.

THE BOOK OF THE NAMES OF THE DEAD The Book of the Names of the Dead will be placed near the baptismal font be-ginning on All Souls Day. Everyone is welcome to inscribe the names of their deceased loved ones. As you pass the Book and see the burning candle upon en-tering and leaving church during November, remember to offer up a prayer for all whose names are enshrined there.

ALTAR OF THE DEAD All Souls Day is the Day of the Dead (el Día de Muertos) in Mexico. A beautiful custom associated with the Day of the Dead is the family altar or ofrenda. Famil-iarized by the recent Disney movie “Coco,” these altars are based on popular belief that the souls of the departed return at this time of the year, and show them that they are not forgotten. An ofrenda will be erected in the church narthex on All Souls Day by members of our Hispanic community.

FAMILY MOVIE NIGHT: COCO Friday, November 8, 7:00-9:00 pm Historic Church Celebrate the Day of the Dead (All Souls Day) with this view-ing of Coco on our big screen in the historic church. We will provide a family viewing guide that connects themes from the movie with Catholic beliefs and customs.

COMING UP AT EMORY’S AQUINAS CENTER “The Catholic Church and the Struggle against White Nationalism: Missing in Action?” Father Bryan Massingale, Fordham University Thursday, November 7, 4:00-6:00 pm Candler School of Theology, Room 252

Free but limited space. Register at aquinas.emory.edu. Father Massingale’s lecture will examine the response of the Catholic Church—both the predominantly white leaders and its African American membership—to the threat that white nationalism poses to American democracy, and explore the relevance and adequacy of Catholic witness in the face of white nationalist ideology and practice.

This month our inquirers will be discerning their readiness for initiation into the Catholic Church. Pray for wisdom, grace, and courage as they prepare to embrace the cross of Christ.

For those who determine that they are ready, the Rite of Acceptance and Welcom-ing will take place at 11:30 and 1:30 Masses on Sunday, November 24.

Q When are inquirers ready for the next stage of the initiation process?

A When inquirers feel ready to publicly state their sincere desire to follow Jesus Christ, when they show evidence of first faith and conversion and an intention to con-form their lives to Christ and the Gospel, they are ready for the next step: the Rite of Acceptance into the Order of Cate-chumens. This rite can be celebrated two or three time during the year—whenever an inquirer is ready.

For more information about the process of Christian Initiation at IHM, contact Drew Denton in the parish office.
