During the 5 pm. Mass we will commemorate the souls of all the faithful departed. Everyone is invited to bring written prayers, lists of beloved departed, or other notes to be placed at the foot of the altar during Mass. Afterwards we will recycle them reverently, respecting privacy and the prayers associated with them.
Sidenote: The Solemnity of All Saints is Saturday, November 1. Since All Saints Day falls on a Saturday this year it is NOT a Holy Day of Obligation, following the 1992 decision of the USCCB (United States Conference of Catholic Bishops).
