We remember, we celebrate, we believe. Praying for those who have died is an important part of our lives. We remember those who have loved and nurtured us and shaped us, we celebrate the precious gift of their lives as a blessing from God, and we believe and hope in the promise of eternal life. Please join us on Thursday, November 2, 2017 at 7:00pm for an All Souls’ Day Mass of Remembrance. All Souls Envelopes, this year, will be collected at the offering box stationed at the entrance of the lower church. These envelopes will be included in the offering of the Eucharistic Liturgy.
