November: Praying for the Holy Souls

A month of remembrance

On Friday 1st November we celebrated the Feast of All Saints 

On Saturday 2nd we celebrated the Feast of All Souls 

On 11th November we remember those who have died in war, we also remember them on Remembrance Sunday.

Box for November Holy Souls
November List of Masses: 

There are envelopes at the back of the churches for you to enter a list of names of your loved ones to be prayed for during the month of November (labelled ‘Holy Souls’). An offering for Mass to be offered for them can be included in the envelope. Please either place in the box marked Holy Souls or in the offertory basket.
The Mass is the greatest prayer we have as Catholics. It is a great act of charity to pray for those who have gone before us, especially for those who have no one to pray for them.


Eternal rest, a prayer for those who have died

Candle
Eternal rest, 

grant unto them O Lord 

and let perpetual light shine upon them, 

may they rest in peace, Amen.
