2024 ALL SOULS

ALL SOULS DAY

 

JOIN US IN OUR EUCHARISTIC CELEBRATION

IN PRAYING FOR THE HOLY SOULS

ON SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 2ND, AT 9:00 A.M.

[Note: Sunday Vigil Mass on November 2nd will be as usual at 5:00 pm]

The Church is composed of the faithful living upon the earth and those who have gone before us. The latter includes the Saints in Heaven and the faithful Souls being purified in Purgatory. Just as on November 1st we honor those who are with God, on November 2nd Catholics celebrate a Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed. Also known as All Souls Day, on this day we honor them for their fidelity in life, as well as pray for them, since they are being purified before entering the All Holy Presence of God. As Revelation 21:27 says of the Heavenly Jerusalem, “… nothing unclean shall enter in.”

During the entire month of November, a book of remembrance will be on display at the front of the Church sanctuary.  You are invited to record the names of the deceased you wish to remember.

 Special ‘All Souls Day Remembrance’ offering envelopes will be available for your convenience, and your offering can be placed in the donation box located near the statue of Our Blessed Mother.
