ALL SOULS DAY - REMEMBERING OUR DECEASED LOVED ONES

REMEMBERING OUR DECEASED LOVED ONES


November is traditionally a time for praying, remembering and lighting a candle for our loved ones who have died. We give thanks for them and recall how each one brought a touch of God’s light into the world. We remember their loving deeds and rejoice in their faithfulness. As we thank God for their witness and inspiration, let us renew our desire to live lives that reflect God’s love.

If you wish to have a loved one remembered in our parish Novena of Masses which begins on All Souls Day, envelopes are available in the racks in the back of church for those who do not have one at home. Envelopes must be returned anytime before Monday, November 2. Names submitted will be entered into our parish Book of Remembrance. This will be placed by the Baptismal font during the month of November.
