We will adjourn to the Parish Hall for a light lunch after the Eucharist. Last names beginning with:

Christian Formation - 2nd and 4th Sundays,after Mass at 11:30am

-- On Sunday, November 28 After getting your coffee and a snack, please join us in Fr. Carlos' study as we are led through the book "The Concise History of the Book of Common Prayer — each lesson/chapter includes questions to guide group discussion and to provoke serious personal reflection.. --

Have you ever wondered how the Book of Common Prayer originated? Who were the historical figures instrumental through the ages from the 16th century to the present day in formulating this Book? Well Gary Nicilosi, Episcopal Priest and Lawyer, has written “A Concise History of the Book of Common Prayer—An Appreciation of Anglicanism” to answer those questions and many more.

Gary Nicolosi is the author of hundreds of articles on Anglicanism, parish ministry and spirituality, including his book “SoulFire: Preaching the Church Message in a Secular, Postmodern World”.

As a former member of St. Bart’s, Poway during his rectorship, I can attest to his fine writing and the depth of his scholarship.

Please join Fr. Carlos as he leads us through Concise History—each lesson/chapter includes questions to guide group discussion and to provoke serious personal reflection.

Copies of this book are available for $14.00 in the Parish Office during the week and on Sundays.

Letter from St. Paul's Senior Services Foundation - Our Volunteers

This past Saturday, August 14 Fr. Carlos, Todd Muffatti, Karl Jorgensen, Ed Schuppert, Sue Johnston, her daughter Jennifer, Leo and Chris Rocca helped setup apartments at Trinity Place. A thank you letter and pictures follow.

Dear friends at All Saints',

Thank you for attending the staging event at Trinity Place. We were delighted to see so many engaged and enthusiastic volunteers from All Saints' congregation there helping to create new homes for previously unhoused seniors.

Hopefully you got a chance to meet PACE participant Thomas and his daughter Sasha and hear their inspirational story. In 2017, volunteers just like yourself gathered to stage apartments at Talmadge Gateway to create a home and a new beginning for Thomas and Sasha. Now he is paying it forward to bring attention to the needs of future residents.

Your volunteerism on Saturday not only supported the building of new homes but also supported building better lives and futures for homeless seniors as well.

We look forward to partnering again with you in a few months, when we host another staging event for Ivy Senior Apartments in Clairemont. Details to follow.

With much gratitude & many blessings,
Craig R. Smith
Fundraising & Event Manager
St. Paul's Senior Services Foundation

IN MEMORIUM - Joseph Burgess

All Saints' is saddened to announce the death of Joseph Burgess who passed away the morning of August 9, 2021 at the age of 95 years.

Joe joined All Saints' with his wife Vilma in 2002. Among the many contributions Joe made to parish life was his participation with Vilma in the Flower Guild ministry. For many years he and Vilma would arrange the Sunday altar flowers into small vases to be placed in St. Mary's Chapel, the shrines or for parishioners to take to shut-ins.

Most Sunday mornings at the 10:30am Mass you would meet Joe as the Greeter at the entrance to the church. After Vilma passed away in 2017, Joe would attend Mass with his daughter, Judith.

A Requiem Mass will be scheduled at All Saints' in the coming weeks. Please keep Joe in your prayers. May he rest in peace.

Father of all, we pray to you for Joe, and for all those whom we love but see no longer. Grant to them eternal rest. Let light perpetual shine upon them. May their soul and the souls of all the departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

Social Action Committee News
HOLIDAYS COMING

Covid-19 continues to impact many of us. While some of us are doing okay financially, there are some of us who are not able to keep up with things. The holiday seasons can be difficult for families because expectations are high. We all want to provide our families, especially the children, with a wonderful and memorable experience. You can help alleviate some of the stress by donating non-perishable foods here at church, which continues to partner with the Salvation Army Food Bank. Please add one or more items to our black wagon just inside the church door on Sundays, or bring them to the Parish office. (Note: this is a separate opportunity from the other option to contribute specifically to a Thanksgiving meal)

Thank you in advance for your generosity . . .

Your Social Action Committee!
