Celebración Día de Muertos
Martes November 2, 5:00 p.m. Misa
Celebramos juntos la creación del altar, con bellos y brillantes colores, calaveritas de azúcar, comida y fotografías de los seres queridos que ya partieron de este mundo, con la esperanza del reencuentro . Un altar nos ayuda a entender que la vida no se termina con la muerte, que seguimos existiendo en otros planos, que después de la muerte hay vida, que la verdadera muerte es cuando nos olvidamos de los seres queridos que ya partieron.
Día de Los Muertos Celebration
Tuesday November 2, 5:00 p.m. Service
Let us celebrate together the creation of the altar, with beautiful and bright colors, sugar skulls, food and photographs of loved ones who have already left this world, with hope of reunion. An altar helps us to understand that life does not end with death, that we still exist on other planes, that after death there is life, and that true death is when we forget the loved ones who have already departed.

First Friday Artist Reception
“Indigenous Artistic Expressions:
Unifying the Sacred”
This exhibition features Arizona indigenous artists, Averian Chee, Jonathan Sky Duncan, David John, and Denoveigh Mitchell. At the time of European contact, Native people were introduced to various Christian religions. Christian practices were imposed onto a people who already had a complex religious and ceremonial order. Some chose to incorporate these new ways of celebrating God into their existing tribal spirituality. The works in this exhibition demonstrate the duality of spiritual beliefs for Native people.
Facilitated by Cook Native American Ministries Foundation, the exhibition is on view from October 29 to November 22, Tuesday through Friday, from 10 a.m. to 3 pm.

This Band of Sisterhood: Black Women Bishops on Race, Faith, and the Church
Editor Westina Matthews joins the discussion online. Dr. Matthews is an adjunct professor for the Center for Christian Spirituality at General Theological Seminary in New York.
About the book: “As increased feelings of division sweep our country, Black women clergy in the Episcopal Church have voiced a need to come together, believing that their experiences and concerns may be very different from those of other clergy. The five Black women bishops featured in this book—Jennifer Baskerville-Burrows, Carlyel J. Hughes, Kimberly Lucas, Shannon MacVean-Brown, and Phoebe A. Roaf—offer honest, vulnerable wisdom from their own lives that speaks to this time in American life.”
