Remembering the Faithful Departed in the Month of November

On Monday, November 2nd, the Church celebrates the Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed, commonly known as All Souls’ Day.

All Souls Day Envelopes are available on the counters near the main entrance for those who wish to make an offering for their loved ones, at the Masses that will be celebrated that day. They may be placed in the offertory collection or deposited in one of the four prayer intention boxes located along the back counters, on or before November 2nd. 

Mass will be celebrated at the usual time of 12:10pm, but there will also be a Special Mass of Remembrance at 7:00pm, accompanied by our parish choir. During this evening Mass, we will remember in a particular way those whose funerals have been celebrated at St. Patrick’s over the past year, as well as all our departed loved ones. All are warmly invited to join us for this special evening of prayer and remembrance.

The Book of the Names of the Dead will also be available on the counter at the back of the church, for those who wish to inscribe the names of their deceased loved ones who will be remembered for on All Soul’s Day and prayed for during the month of November

May the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace...
