All Souls’ Day

Tomorrow, Monday, November 2, is All Souls’ Day, and Mass will be celebrated at 9 am. Each year, the Church takes this day to remember all those who have died and “gone before us marked with the sign of faith.” In faith, we believe that we remain united with our loved ones because the Kingdom of God is not bound by death. We remember especially those who have died in the past year.
