Join your STM family in celebrating the Communion of Saints by participating in a modified version of "Trunk or Treat" called the: Parade of Saints

This event will have three stages:

1. Decorating of trunks of cars:
Parishioners (aka the "Host") will arrive between 5 pm and 6 pm to decorate the trunks of their cars in a non-scary Halloween theme ("Hosts" of trunks can also dress up
* no need to supply candy!)

2. All Saints Day Prayer Service:
 Begins promptly at 6 pm

3. Parade of Saints
 - Youth, birth through middle school, will dress up as their favorite saint or as the patron cause of their favorite saint (ex: The youth can dress up as St. Michael the Archangel with wings and a fiery sword OR as a police officer whose patron is St. Michael the Archangel) and will march up and down the rows of decorated cars showing off their costumes.

Here is a helpful link with additional ideas of possible costume designs:  At the beginning of the event, each youth in costume
​ (as well as any "hosts" in costume) will receive a "I'm Saint..." or "My patron saint is..." ribbon to wear during the parade.  ​

At the end of the event, a "gift bag" of candy treats will be distributed per participant.

If interested in participating, either as a "host" to decorate a car OR as a youth in the parade, please sign-up on the SignUp Genius.

​More details regarding the specifics of the event (times, exact location, etc.) can be found in the SignUp Genius write up.
