Dear parishioners & friends of St. Edward’s,
Yesterday, on a sunny Sunday afternoon, our sister, Rose Dixon, began her journey, as she slipped peacefully into her next life, surrounded by her loving family. We will miss the joy that Rose brought to all of us at St. Edward’s, and we hold her family, friends, and loved ones, in our prayers.
Prayer for the Faithful Departed
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May their souls and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
Father Rick +

Annual Jesse Tree Project Set to Begin
For many, Thanksgiving and Christmas represents a ‘season of giving’. Giving to the foster children of COBYs during the holidays has been a long-time favorite of this parish.
This service is known as the Jesse Tree project. Jesse Tree provides gifts for children in foster care, making Christmas a little brighter. Through COBYS Family Services we obtain a list of children in foster care, their ages, and their Christmas wishes. We don’t take the place of Santa. Rather, we act as Santa’s helpers by adding another gift or two for a child to open on Christmas morning.

Our goal is to have each parish family donate a turkey so that our community families in need can have a fulfilling Thanksgiving.
