All Souls' Day 

On All Souls' Day, celebrated on Sunday, November 2, we commemorate and pray for deceased family members and loved ones who await their purification in Purgatory. The Church teaches that some sins can be forgiven even after death (CCC 1031). While these departed souls can pray for us, they can no longer pray for themselves. That spiritual work of mercy is up to us. Cardinal Gerhard Muller, Prefect for the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, will celebrate the 11:30am Mass. The regular Sunday Mass schedule is observed.

November Remembrances of Deceased Loved Ones

We remember our deceased loved ones in a special way throughout the month of November. Each day a special Mass will offered at the Cathedral for this intention. Special envelopes will be provided in the pews so that you can list the names of the deceased to be remembered at these daily Masses. The envelopes, which can be dropped in the collection basket or at the rectory, will be placed on the altar in the Wedding Chapel.

Prayer for All Souls' Day

Lord God, you are the glory of believers and the life of the just.
Your son redeemed us by dying and rising to life again.
Since our departed brothers and sisters believed in the mystery of our resurrection,
let them share the joys and blessings of the life to come.

Amen.
