Mass of Remembrance

Each year we gather on the Commemoration of All Souls to pray for those who are dear to us and have gone ahead to the Lord. This year the Mass of Remembrance will be held on Saturday, November, 2, 2013 at 10:00 a.m.

Candles with each loved one’s name will be lit ahead of time and may be taken home at the conclusion of the Mass. In addition, we are asking for framed pictures of your loved ones who have passed away. These pictures will be displayed in front of the altar during the month of November. If you would like your loved one to be honored in this fashion, you may drop off a framed picture at the rectory, or bring your framed photo with you on the day of the Mass and place it in front of the altar. You may pick up the pictures anytime during the last week of November. May this memorial display be a source of prayer and comfort to those who are mourning the loss of their dearly departed friends and relatives.

For your deceased family and friends who passed away before November, 2013, please inscribe their names in the Book of Remembrance which will be available in the vestibule this weekend. The Book of Remembrance will be placed near the altar during the Mass of Remembrance.

If you are planning on attending, and would like to order a candle, or have any questions, please call the rectory at 422-8995. All requests for candles must be received by Monday, October 28.
