November is traditionally the month in which we pray for the Holy Souls. Remembrance sheets and envelopes are available at the back of the church. Please list the names of your deceased family members and friends whom you wish to pray for. Then place your list with your offering into the envelope and return it to the parish office. All listes will be placed on the Sanctuary during each Mass in November. All Masses celebrated will be for those names contained in our Book of Remembrance.

We pray for those who have departed from this life, but have not yet attained the joys of heaven.
St. Paul tells us that we must not be ignorant concerning the dead, nor sorrowful:
“even as others who have no hope … For the Lord Himself shall come down from heaven … and the dead who are in Christ shall rise”.
.
‘Eternal Rest grant unto them O Lord, and may their souls rest in peace.’
