This Tuesday is the LAST of our outdoor playgroups for the summer (pending some unusually sunny and warm weather).  To print a written schedule of our summer playgroup locations, please click here. To see a map of our summer park schedule, please click here.

This Tuesday, October 29th, we will meet at Crosby Park (81 Oxford St., Arlington) at 10:30 am.  This park has a play structure and pavement area that is good for bikes and scooters.  Bring a lunch and join us!

**Unless otherwise noted due to warm weather, future winter playgroups will take place at Fidelity House, 25 Medford St., Arlington.  In case of unusually warm and sunny weather, please check your email or the blog page before you leave for playgroup.  We may take advantage of the nice day and meet at a park.**

Friday, November 1st - All Saints Day - Holy Day of Obligation
A great day to contemplate the multitude of Saints, their lives lived in service to the Lord, and the wonderful everlasting life they now enjoy!  Saint Agnes Mass times are as follows. All Masses are in the UPPER CHURCH.
Thursday, October 31st - 4:00 pm
Friday, November 1st - 7 am, 12 noon, 5:30 pm
**Please note that due to the Holy Day, there will not be the usual First Friday confessions or Adoration.**

Saturday, November 2nd - All Souls Day
Although this is not a Holy Day, this feast commemorates all of the faithful departed, our beloved dead, and especially the poor souls in Purgatory who have no one to pray for them.  Masses on All Souls Day at 7:00 A.M.  Even if you aren't able to make it to Mass, take a minute to say a prayer for your loved ones who have died, and for the poor souls in Purgatory.

A picture is worth a thousand words, and while searching for an image for this blog post, I found so many pictures which called to mind the glorious victory of Christ and the beatific joy of the saints, for which we all strive each day.  I hope one of these images conjures up new inspiration for you as well!
