CHALICE PROGRAM Our Chalice Program at Holy Redeemer is a wonderful way for you and your family to pray for vocations. Each week at the 10:30 am mass, a family receives the communion chalice and takes it home with them for the week. At the following Sunday mass, that family passes on the chalice to another family. Please take this opportunity to sign up for a week of prayer. The sign up sheet is now located in the back of the church, or you may contact Amy Hyde at 817-374-9322 or rahyde@uwmail.com

Book of the Life - Pages

November is the month we remember our beloved faithfully departed. All parishioners are invited to pray for their loved ones by having a book entitled "The Book of Life". Each fam-ily takes a blank page (located in the narthex) and simply write your family's name on it and all of the faithfully departed whom you would like to be remembered. They can be family or friends. This book will be placed by the blessed sacrament and the faithfully departed will be prayed for at every mass during the month of November.
