Introduction – Prayers Of The Faithful

Praying for the living and the dead is one of the Spiritual Acts of Mercy. November, cherished as the Month of the Souls, is a time when we remember all the deceased. We remember the saints, most of whom have no feast day or even a record of their names, on All Saints’ Day, Nov. 1st. On All Souls’ Day, Nov. 2nd, we pray for those who have entered a purification as they encounter God in eternity. Our prayer for them is one of the most hopeful acts we can perform as Catholics.

It is a proclamation that bonds of love and faith are stronger than death and they can never be broken. Our prayer for the dead is also our witness before God that these people belonged to Christ and that they lived in the hope of Heaven.

Many will remember going to the cemetery on All Souls’ Day to visit the graves of family members and friends, and maybe to stop at the graves of people who had no living relatives. We would pray for the repose of their souls. We would offer a prayer of thanksgiving to them, and for them, and maybe offer forgiveness (or ask for it) for past wrongs. We can still do this during a pandemic. No social distancing required from graves and you won’t need a mask!

Mass Registration

We would like to remind parishioners that under the current provincial law, registering to attend any Mass (including the Novena) at Holy Redeemer is mandatory.

If you wish to attend a weekend Mass, please fill out the form located here:

WEEKEND MASS REGISTRATION

TUESDAY NOVENA & MASS REGISTRATION

If you know someone without internet access, please let them know that they can call the parish office (653-6830) to register.

We also ask that you please respond to the weekly invitation calls/emails that we send out so that we know in advance how many people will be attending. Placing a piece of paper with your name on it in the collection basket does not allow us to keep accurate records. We thank everyone for their continued cooperation and understanding during these difficult times.
