May their souls and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Continued from page 1 This weekend is the celebration of All-Saints' Day, November 1, since the feast falls this year on Sunday. This is a favorite feast of mine so I love it when it coincides with Sunday Masses. November 2 is All-Souls' Day and with that we will keep in prayer the members of the parish who passed on in the last year to the next life and to life in God. As in past years, there are several ways which we will commemorate them for All Souls. Their names will be said at all Masses with their pictures on the screens as we pray for their peace in God. Their families are invited especially to the 11:00 Memorial Mass at which they receive the cross that has their loved one's name on. If you're unable to attend Mass this weekend please know that you can arrange to get the cross from the office.
