Hallowtide at St. Paul's The All Souls' Day Requiem Mass was held November 2nd. Earlier, on October 29th, St. Paul's sponsered "Trunk or Treat", a safe alternative for Halloween activities. Over a thousand visitors came to enjoy cider, donuts, candy, face painting and fellowship. Special thanks to the many volunteers that made the activity such a success. Our hats off to Erik and Kathy Heyboer who organized the event.
